• [speaking to each other over walkie-talkies] 

  Young Man : First, Harry, I think I should tell you about the bomb. Would you like to know where it is?

  Harry Calder : Sure!

  Young Man : You're holding it.

• Young Man : If they pay me and if they do what I say, I'll never bother them again.

  Harry Calder : Are you sure? Maybe you enjoy it.

  Young Man : Wrong psychological profile, Harry. I'm not in this for kicks.

  Harry Calder : Oh yeah, right, it's only the money. You're a businessman. And in a corrupt society, you're no worse than anybody else. We all cheat on our taxes, Detroit makes defective cars.

  Young Man : I'm not enjoying this conversation, Harry.

  Harry Calder : Then get yourself another messenger boy.

• Young Man : [after the young man tells Harry he is holding the bomb]  Now, do I have your full attention?

  Harry Calder : Screw you!

• Young Man : [on tape, being plated for the Amusement Park owners]  Thank you for coming, gentlemen. Your companies are involved, either through subsidiaries or long-term lease arrangement with the amusement park industry. As you know, it's a peculiar business, more vulnerable than most. During the past week, I've given you two examples of just how vulnerable. I have no desire to create further incidents, assuming you agree to my proposal. The payment will be $1 million, to be delivered at a time and a place of my choosing. You'll be contacted no later than a week from today. You may wish to bring in the police. That is up to you. It will not hamper me in the slightest. Thanks for your time.

• Harry Calder : [on the phone with The Young Man]  I don't know why you're dragging me into this.

  Young Man : You were the only one in that room who appreciated what I was doing.

  Harry Calder : What room? You bugged that hotel room!

  Young Man : Of course. You told them not to underestimate me. That was good advice.

  Harry Calder : Get this straight. I said you're smart, but I'm not a fan, OK? You kill people.

  Young Man : Do you think they would have paid attention if I hadn't?

  Harry Calder : Is this about attention?

  Young Man : It's about money, Harry.

  Harry Calder : Then get a job.

  Young Man : I've had jobs. I'm not particularly productive.

• Young Man : [over the phone with Harry]  What do you think of Hoyt?

  Harry Calder : Says he's going to get you.

  Young Man : No one's gonna get me. But I'll promise you this, Harry. If they pay me, and if they do what I say, I'll never bother them again.

  Harry Calder : I don't know. Maybe you enjoy it.

  Young Man : Wrong psychological profile. I'm not in this for kicks.

  Harry Calder : Oh, yeah, it's only the money. You're a businessman. In a corrupt society you're no worse than anybody else. We all cheat on our taxes.

  Young Man : I'm not enjoying this conversation.

  Harry Calder : Then get another messenger boy.
