... You aren't rescuing anybody

if you can't breathe, Rodrigues. Stay focused . all right, kid. A lot of good people here. It's got to be a long day and you'll be alright kid. There's a lot of good people ... Will: How's your pain? How's your pain ? John: Comes in waves. Every 20, 30 minutes. Every wave, I feel the pain less. But I'm more numb. The number I get the more I want to sleep. But I'm getting more and more unconscious. The more the pain comes, the more I want to sleep . Will: What's wrong with sleep? I wish I could so this pain would go away.































What's wrong with sleeping?
I wish I could sleep so it wouldn't hurt

John:
You're bleeding inside, Will.
You sleep, you don't know if you're coming back.
Awake, at least you got a shot .
Your brain, maybe, keeps you alive. That
's what I think, anyway.
You're bleeding inside Willie
If you fall asleep You don't know if you'll wake up and
stay awake At least there's a chance At least that's what I think of
life Will: You know that movie, GI Jane? What's-her-name? Yeah, Demi Moore. You know the part where the drill sergeant says, "Pain is good. Pain is your friend. If you 're feeling pain you're still alive'? You know that movie? Ambition with me? What's her name? That's right Demi Moore you remember that part of the training officer saying "Pain is good Pain is your friend If you feel pain then you are alive"















John:
I didn't see the movie.
Will

:
I keep thinking of that line. Pain
is your friend. It
means you're alive. Friends it means you're alive ... John: I took them in. For what? What good did we do? Why did I bring them in? Did we do something good? Will: We wanted to go in. Kassimatis said you were the best. You were the guy who knew everything down here. Dom, Antonio and Chris, nothing was gonna stop them from trying to help. We figured we might as well follow the best guy in. The old card we volunteered Saying you're the best you know all about Don Anthony and Chris, nothing can stop them from helping

























We want to be with the best

John:
The best? The best
?

Will:
They did what they had to do, Sarge.
They couldn't have lived with themselves if they hadn't gone in.
That's who they were .they
just do what they're supposed to be captains and
if they don't join them they don't have the face
they're just who they are

...


John:
Will? Where are we?
Willy? Where are we?

Will:
In hell.
We're alive in hell. Scott
: I need a paramedic ! Who here 's a medic ? to be? Jesus Christ. Come on! I need a paramedic here.


















Used to be? Lord, come on!
I need a medic

Chuck:
My license lapsed. I had a few
bad years.
But I know what I'm doing.
I'm good.
How long have my license expired
It's been a rough year
but I know what I'm doing and
I'm still good

Scott: You know this whole thing could collapse on
our heads and kill us ? Scott: What's your name? What's your name? Chuck : Chuck Sereika. Chuck Scott: I'm Scott. Come on. All right. I'm Scott. Come on. Will : Hey , where did the buildings go? Hi, where are those buildings?

World Trade Center quotes

  • Scott Strauss: Chuck. Paddy. Just get out of here. This whole damn thing could come down on us. There's no sense in all of us getting killed.

    Chuck Sereika: You gonna pry up that slab and get him out of here yourself? I've been in and out of rehab for years. Finally figured out the only thing I've been ever good at is helping people. We're doing this together.

    Paddy McGee: I Ain't leaving.

    Will Jimeno: I don't mean to break up the moment, but were all getting out of here together.

  • Will Jimeno: This guy. He's gonna die if you don't get him out soon. And the only thing in the way is my leg. I want you to cut it off. Just cut if off. I can live without a leg.

    Scott Strauss: I'm not cutting your leg off. I can't. You're coming out in one piece, you hear me?

    Will Jimeno: You gotta... Look it's my leg. Just juice me up and cut it off. If he dies, I die. That's just the way it is.

    Scott Strauss: Look Will, your partner must be 20 feet deeper. Probably more compacted than you. Even if I cut your leg off, he's not gonna get out of there for hours. I'm sorry, man. Now, let me do my work.
