Zeus Carver: [chasing a fat woman away from a phone, expecting Simon's call] I can get used to this.
John McClane: I'm sure you can find a phone across the street, ma'am.
[turning to Zeus]
John McClane: Let's get something straight. I'm the only one here on official police business. Don't ever do that shit again.
Zeus Carver: Let's get something else straight. You need me a lot more than I need you. You don't like the way I do things, fine. I quit.
[the phone rings]
John McClane: All right, I need you.
[seeing Zeus isn't convinced]
John McClane: All right, I need you more than you need me.

Simon Gruber: Hello, John.
John McClane: Yeah, piece of cake. Give us something harder next time.
Simon Gruber: But you're ten seconds late.
John McClane: No, no! The answer is one!
Simon Gruber: Boom!
John McClane: [taking cover] There's a bomb in the trash can!
Zeus Carver: Get down!
John McClane: There's a bomb in the trash can! There's a bomb! Get down! There's a bomb!
[after a moment, nothing happens]
John McClane: No bomb.
[picking up the phone receiver, they hear Simon laughing]
John McClane: Yeah.
Simon Gruber: I didn't say "Simon says."
