Escape From New York Page #4

Goddamn redskins!

They're savages, Mr. President.

Snake, I swear I thought you were dead.

Yeah, you and everybody else.

That your car in the lobby?

- Yeah.

- Keys, quick.

Quick, diagram of the bridge.

Hey, hey, hey.

I'm the only one knows

how to read that.

Stay out of my way, Harold.

Besides, you can't read and drive

at the same time. You need us!

You shouldn't have double-crossed me

again, Brain. Come on, let's go.

- They sawed it off.

- The tape?

Gone, I don't know where.

I do.

I swear to God, Snake, I know where it is.

Just take us to the car. I'll take you to it.

Sh*t.

Sh*t, sh*t.

Don't talk. Breathe.

- I'm trying.

- Come on, come on!

- We're wasting time.

- What's wrong?

Dead, Harold.

- What?

- Here, take this.

Car trouble?

Hi, Duke.

This whole deal of yours is over, Snake.

You and Brain say goodbye to each other.

Go, go!

- There are three mines, you go a few blocks...

- They're behind us.

And then there's three more...

- They come in groups of threes.

- Where's the tape?

- Where is it?

- What tape?

- The tape from the briefcase!

- Oh, that tape. Here it is.

- You traded Romero your hat?

- How did you know?

See? See?

The discovery that tritium...

...creates only one one-millionth

of the biological damage of iodine...

Here, give me that tape.

Not just yet.

Easy, easy.

Go for it, Snake!

You gotta slow down a little, Snake.

- I think there are three mines ahead, Snake.

- You think?

Stay left. Stay left, stay left

and then jog right when I tell you.

You're pushing her too hard, Snake.

Okay, okay, now!

I said jog right, you a**hole.

Stay to the right.

Stay to the right.

Left, left!

No, hold it! Left!

Left, damn it!

Brain?

Keep moving.

Maggie.

He's dead.

Come on.

Station 19, they spotted two cars

on the 69th Street bridge.

- Is it Plissken?

- A taxi and a Cadillac.

The taxi hit a mine.

There's four people on foot.

- Fourteen minutes.

- Get a jeep with a winch over there, fast.

Cronenberg, get over to Station 19.

They're coming across the bridge.

This is Rehme. Security Control,

we are at a standby situation.

Repeat:
We are at a standby situation.

All helicopters, down.

Wall guards, do not fire on prisoners.

Repeat:
Do not fire on prisoners.

All vehicles, stand by.

Repeat:
All vehicles stand by.

You're A-number-one!

You're the Duke! You're the Duke!

You're the Duke.

You're A-number-one.

The tape, Plissken.

That's it.

I've radioed ahead, Mr. President.

They know the situation.

They're waiting for your broadcast.

Yeah.

Oh, it's all right.

I wanna thank you.

Anything you want, you just name it.

Just a moment of your time.

Three minutes, sir.

- Yes?

- We did get you out.

A lot of people died in the process.

I just wondered how you felt about it.

Well, l...

I wanna thank them.

This nation appreciates their sacrifice.

Look, I'm on the air in...

Two and a half minutes?

Yes, sir.

You gonna kill me now, Snake?

I'm too tired.

Maybe later.

I've got another deal for you.

I want you to think it over

while you're resting.

I wanna give you a job.

We'd make one hell of a team, Snake.

The name's Plissken.

You're on camera, Mr. President.

Good evening.

Although I shall not be present

at this historic summit meeting...

...I present this in the hope...

...that our great nations...

...may learn to live in peace.
