FBI Agent Andy Cross : [showing pictures inside the police van] Do you recognize this guy?
John McClane : No.
FBI Agent Andy Cross : How 'bout this one?
John McClane : Mm-mm.
FBI Agent Andy Cross : How 'bout you?
[Zeus shakes head]
FBI Agent Andy Cross : Did you recognize the voice on the phone?
John McClane : No.
FBI Agent Andy Cross : Did you, uh, notice any cars following you?
John McClane : No.
Bill Jarvis, from Another Organization : Anybody following you at all? Any kind of surveillance, telephone, house, anything unusual at all?
John McClane : Well, now that you mention it, I have experienced a, you know, like a burning sensation between my toes. I thought it was just some athlete's foot or something.

FBI Agent : [in the police van with FBI agents] The name Gruber mean anything to you, lieutenant?
John McClane : [remembering Hans Gruber falling from Nakatomi Towers] It rings a bell, yeah.
Ricky Walsh : L.A.
Inspector Cobb : What?
Ricky Walsh : That thing in the building in L.A.
FBI Agent : Peter Krieg was born Simon Peter Gruber. He's Hans Gruber's brother.
John McClane : [to himself] Holy shit.
FBI Agent Andy Cross : Yeah, it's that thing in L.A. We figure he's got you fitted up for a toe tag, and he's gonna do anything to get it tied.

Bill Jarvis, from Another Organization : We read your jacket, Lieutenant. We were told you would be cooperative.
John McClane : Cooperate with what?
Inspector Cobb : Hey, now wait a minute. He will be.
John McClane : What do you mean cooperate? He's wasting time here in this goddamn van.
Inspector Cobb : You wanna share information, how about sending a little our way, as well?
FBI Agent Andy Cross : Look, we wanna hear what he knows first.
Inspector Cobb : What the hell? You give us pictures and then...
FBI Agent Andy Cross : We want to hear what he knows first.
John McClane : Hey, I know as much as you know, all right? There's a guy out there setting off bombs. He calls himself Simon. He speaks with a German accent. And for some reason, he's very angry with me. Now, maybe you can tell me why, fellas, huh?

Simon Gruber : This, gentlemen, as they say, is where the plot thickens. I have put 2,400 pounds of explosive in one of the 1,446 schools in greater New York. It is fitted with a timer set to explode at exactly 3:00 p.m. Thank you. Your silence says I'm understood.
Inspector Cobb : Did you say 2,400 pounds?
Simon Gruber : Yes, but please don't interrupt again. Simon says, if you attempt to evacuate schools, the bomb will be detonated by radio; and gentlemen, someone will be watching. Repeat, one school will be dismissed at 3:00 p.m., permanently, unless...
Inspector Cobb : Unless what?
Simon Gruber : Unless John McClane and his new best friend complete the tasks I set them. John, are you listening?
John McClane : Yeah.
Simon Gruber : The pay phone beyond Hope Tompkins Square Park. Twenty minutes. Go by foot; no rush. If you're really clever, you'll learn the location of the bomb and the code to disarm it. Oh, and by the way, gentlemen, we got something of a bargain on radio detonators. The only problem is the darn things seem to respond to police and FBI frequencies. So if I were you, I'd keep off your radios.
Inspector Cobb : Simon, wait.
[Simon hangs up]
Inspector Cobb : 2,400 pounds of that liquid stuff. My god. Get me the commissioner.
Officer Jane : He's doing a press conference. He's supposed to be here in half an hour.
Inspector Cobb : All right, Ricky, get every senior officer on the site and get 'em here right away. You're not gonna give me any jurisdictional nonsense on this?
FBI Agent Andy Cross : I got two kids in the school on 64th Street. What can I do to help you?
Inspector Cobb : How many men have you got?
FBI Agent Andy Cross : 75. But if I push the panic button, I can get 500 from Washington.
Inspector Cobb : When?
FBI Agent Andy Cross : 2:30, 3:00.
Bill Jarvis, from Another Organization : Between now and then...
Inspector Cobb : We're gonna have to do this all by ourselves.

Simon Gruber : Now, who from the FBI is in the van, I wonder? Let's see. Almost certainly Cross. Come on, Andrew, say hello.
FBI Agent Andy Cross : Hello.
Simon Gruber : And I know you never run alone, so say hello, Bill. Still trying to butch up by chewing on your glasses, huh?

Bill Jarvis, from Another Organization : The first man there is Methias Targo. Was Hungarian army. Explosives expert. Now we believe he's working for the Iranians.
Inspector Cobb : Working?
Bill Jarvis, from Another Organization : Freelance terrorism. By contract.
John McClane : Who's the girl?
FBI Agent Andy Cross : Targo's other half. Rumor is Israelis slipped a bomb in between their sheets. Uh, he wasn't at home, but they think maybe they got her.
Bill Jarvis, from Another Organization : The second man was an obscure colonel in the East German army. He ran an infiltration unit, the kind of thing the Nazis did at the Battle of the Bulge. English-speaking troops...
John McClane : Yeah, yeah, I-I saw the movie.
Bill Jarvis, from Another Organization : All we know of him is the GDR medical records show he suffers from migraines. His name is Peter... Krieg.
John McClane : Well, that is an exceptional report, fellas. Now do you want to tell me what the hell this has to do with me?
