International terrorists have taken over a building and are holding every one as hostage. Good guy NY cop John McCLane interfers with their plans. In this scene, one of the suave hostages attempts to negotiate with the terrorists saying that he can get John McClane to give himself up. Matthew A. Haas - Director Jeb Stuart - Screenplay Matt Petrilla - Harry Ellis Alfonso DiGirolamo III - Karl Nathan D. Linn - Hans Gruber Nicholas J. Repino - Producer Director of Photography - Benjamin T. Alpi Brenda Pretko - Makeup/Wardrobe Elizabeth Linn - Production Assistant Scene 230 - THE OFFICE HANS: If you'd listened to me he would be neutralized already! KARL: I don't want neutral...I want dead-- ALL TURN at a rap on the door. Ellis is there. ELLIS: Hope I'm not interrupting...? HANS: (to Fritz) What does he want? As Fritz shrugs: ELLIS: It's not what I want, it's what I can give you... Look, let's be straight, okay? It's obvious you're not some dumb schmuck up here to snatch a few purses, am I right? Karl looks at Ellis and then at Hans, as if to say, let me plug this asshole right now. But Hans is either amused of curious or bored enough to shake his head, turn back to Ellis. HANS: (politely) You're very perceptive. ELLIS: (flattered) I watch 60 minutes, I say to myself, these guys are professionals, they're motivated, they're happening. i.e., they want something. Now, personally, I don't care about your politics. Maybe you're pissed at the Camel Jockeys, maybe it's the Hebes, Northern Ireland, that's none of my business. I figure, You're here to negotiate, am I right? HANS: You're amazing. You figured this all out already? ELLIS: Hey, business is business. You use a gun, I use a fountain pen, what's the difference? To put it in my terms, you're here on a hostile takeover and you grab us for some greenmail but you didn't expect a poison pill was gonna be running around the building. Am I right? (smiling) Hans, booby...I'm your white knight. HANS: (dryly) I must have missed 60 Minutes. What are you saying? ELLIS: The guy upstairs who's screwing things up? I can give him to you.
not bad, not bad...
