off the hook. What the hell are you

talking about? General Sanchez and I

have decided that we can do business

together after all. You could have

stopped all this. It's always good to show

these people just how far you're willing to go. Makes them nervous;

gives us negotiating leverage. Now, what do you say,

the money? I say you two guys are two of the biggest a**holes

I've ever met. You're way out of line,

mister. Jack. This is a very complicated

foreign policy issue. I call it complicated

horseshit, sir. You just want to buy

yourself a country like it was a stolen TV set. Then you launder the hot goods

through something you call foreign policy. [laughs]

My God. America's a democracy. We're not some international

fried chicken chain. Give me the money, Jack. thwack! Let's get the hell

out of here. Oh, my God! Push! Oh, come on. Push harder! You try it! There! I loosened it. (Sanchez)

Stop them! [machine gun fire] (man)

We have a security breach

on 109. (Helmes)

Jack, this is Mr. Helmes! Drop the money, and nothing

will happen to you! (Rachael)

All they want is their money! Just drop it! I'm not dropping

$2 million in cash. They're in the staSewells. (man)

Hold it there! God, this place is insane. [computer rattling] They're on the executive floors. [elevator bell ringing] In there. [Jane gasping] Oh, God. [gunshots] [bell ringing] Issel's gone.

I want his division. Xerox his files.

Get his Rolodex. Copy his computer tapes. Hudson, you can have

his parking space. Thank you, sir. [machine gun fire] There are two unidentified

objects in stairwell 69D. Sex without emotional content

is a hollow, empty experience. [gunfire and screaming] [gunshot] [woman on phone]

This phone is no longer

in service. Oh, God, what are you doing

with that gun? I just shot a phone. I don'believe this.

I can't believe this! Typical male response. They shoot at you;

you shoot at them. The violence just escalates

and escalates! Well, buddy, I am not having

anything to do with this. No way; you are incredible. My gun. [machine gun fire and screaming] [glass shattering] Ow! Pretty nice, huh? You want to sit in it? You want to sit in it? No, that's okay. I got the latest

Julio Iglesias tape. [laughing] Manhattan Transfer? ABBA?

You like ABBA? Don Ho? In here!

Come on! [male computer voice]

Storage area has been breached. They're on the storage floor. Freeze! [exhaling sharply] Don't turn around. [laughing] I told you not to turn around. [screaming] Oh, God.

Oh, God. [yelling and gun firing] There they are! [gunfire] Where'd they go? (Jack)

Oh, boy. No brakes. Big problem.

Oh, sh*t! Jump!

Jump! [glass shattering] Holy sh*t. [air whistling] [metal crunching

and horn blaring] You know what I mean? (Rachael)

Look out! (Jack)

Max! [dogs barking] Run, Jack, run! [growling and barking] I'll call you in the morning! Oh, my tape,

my Julio Iglesias tape--ruined. [horn blaring] Where are we going? Just follow me. Where are we going? (woman)

Free San Marcos! Anything will help. We'll take, uh,

checks or cash. Oh, this is cash--

from INC-- From Mr. Helmes himself. (Jack)

There were a few changes at INC after the night of the generals. (Senator Issel)

Are you now, or have you ever

been a member of the Communist Party? Of--of course not, you idiot! Then why did your company

contribute over $2 million to a Central American

organization-- I'm a Christian. I'm a businessman. I refuse to recognize

this illegal committee! (Jack)

Chairman Helmes was forced

to resign from the company due to suspected

communist activities and mental incapacity. This left Rachael

in control of 780,000 shares of her father's INC stock. This--

[chuckling] Really happened? [both laughing] It did. Wow. God can be a great guy. Hey, don't you have

to get to work? Oh, my God. God can also throw

some heavy curves. Sal, wasn't that

our building you just passed? Yes, sir, I have a plan, sir. I'm going to hang a louie

at the Prudential Building. Then I'm going to circle around. Go between Marina Towers. I'm going to dive,

dive right between 'em. Down Michigan, then turn right. We'll pass Marshall Field's. We can check out the windows. I hear they got a big sale. Then I come up

on our building from behind. It's going to be great. (Jack)

Whatever you say, Sal. Copyright: 2004

Late at night, I can't wait

to close my eyes. Because there's a chance you might come into my life. If it's only for a moment, I just can't bear the thought of you

not there. You're in my dreams. Surreal, surreal. You're in my dreams. Surreal, surreal. I can almost feel you

in my dreams. Day--day dreamer, always on my mind. Dream believer, you're so hard to find. If it's only for a moment, I just don't care. I see you everywhere. You're in my dreams. Surreal, surreal. You're in my dreams. Surreal, surreal. I can almost feel you

in my dreams. [male vocals] (man)

Late at night, I can't wait

to close my eyes. Because there's a chance I might come to realize. If I can sleep forever, our love will die. Sometimes I wonder why you're in my dreams. Surreal, surreal. You're in my dreams. Surreal, surreal. I can almost feel you

in my dreams. Surreal, surreal. You're in my dreams. Surreal, surreal. I can almost feel you

in my dreams. Surreal, surreal. You're in my dreams. Surreal, surreal. I can almost feel you

in my dreams.
