  Warren Stantin : [aiming gun at Steve]  You shoot her, your dead half a second later!

  Steve : Stantin, I'm serious!

  Warren Stantin : So am I! You want to die, go ahead and shoot!

  Steve : [hesitates; shouts]  I'll do it!

  Warren Stantin : Let her go or die! That's the only deal you're gonna make!

• Warren Stantin : [Out of breath]  You need some more rest.
