Die Hard

Updated: Oct 28, 2021

An NYPD officer tries to save his wife and several others taken hostage by German terrorists during a Christmas party at the Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angeles.

On July 25, I watched Fucking Die Hard Finally and it was a fucking awesome movie like holy shit this movie is a fucking masterpiece


I have been wanting to watch this movie for ages because my dad won’t shut the fuck about this and how it’s his “favorite action movie” and I have heard a lot of good things about this movie and I watched this movie to see for myself what is so great about it and also get my dad off of my back about it and I asked my dad days after finishing this movie "if I should spoil "Die Hard" in my film review and he said "It's been out for 40 years. If you haven’t seen it by now it’s your own damn fault." and its one of my favorite lines of all time that I have ever heard him say


The film starts with a plane landing on a runway and a man asking Bruce Willis, "Do you like flying?" and Bruce Willis says, "What gives you that idea?" and he responds, "Do you want to know the secret to surviving air travel?" I was curious about this as well as Bruce Willis and the man says “After you get where you're going, take off your shoes and socks. Then walk around on the rug barefoot and make fists with your toes.” and I was confused and I'm like “What the fuck is making fist with your toes?” and my dad explained that “making fist with your toes is when you curl up your toes” and even Bruce Willis was confused saying “Fists with your toes?” and he laughed saying “I know it sounds crazy. Trust me. I've been doing it for nine years. Yes, sir! Better than a shower and a hot cup of coffee.” and I replied “I will take you up on that offer I mean better than a shower and a hot cup of coffee I find that hard to believe but I will do it when I get vaccinated and get to go places Thanks so much for the advice.” and Bruce Willis says “Ok.” When Bruce Willis gets up to open his overhead compartment and when he stands up the man sees he has a gun in a holster and Bruce Willis says “Is OK. I'm a cop and the man is relieved and when Bruce Willis gets his luggage Bruce Willis says “Trust me. I've been doing this for 11 years.” and grabs a giant teddy bear and passes by the cabin attendant with a look in his eye and he leaves and he is shown lighting a cigarette and holding a giant teddy bear and we cut to a Christmas Party and a man announce “Ladies and gentlemen... Ladies and gentlemen!” and everyone stops to listen and he says “I want to congratulate each and every one of you for making this one of the greatest years in the history of the Nakatomi Corporation.” and everyone bursts into cheers and he continues “On behalf of the Chief Executive Officer. Mr, Ozu, and the Board of Directors, we thank you one and all and wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!“ As he speaks we see a woman leave the Christmas Party and as she walks down the hall people in the background say “Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!” and a man behind her says “Hey, Holly. What about dinner tonight?” and Holly says “Harry, it’s Christmas Eve. Families, stockings… Chestnuts? Rudolph and Frosty? Any of these things ring a bell?” and I’m like “she makes an excellent point” and Harry responds “Actually, I was thinking more of mulled wine, a nice aged Brie and a roaring fireplace. You know what I’m saying?“ and she enters her office and says to the woman at the desk, “Ginny, it’s 5.40. Go join the party. Have some champagne. You’re making me feel like Ebenezer Scrooge.” as she says this she pours herself a drink and Ginny gets up and says “Thanks. Do you think the baby can handle a little sip?” Harry says “Last chance.” as Ginny leaves and Holly on the phone says to Harry “Bye.” and we cut to children playing on the floor and it’s Hollys children and the phone rings and a little girl picks it up and says “McClane residence. Lucy McClane speaking” and we cut to Holly looking at photos and Holly says “Hello, Lucy McClane. This is your mother speaking.” Lucy says, “Mommy! When are you coming home?” and the camera shows us pictures of them and she says “Pretty soon. You'll be in bed when I get there. Let me talk to Paulina, OK, hon? And no snooping around the house looking for presents.” and in the last picture we see the entire family together and turns out Bruce Willis is the father and we cut back to Lucy saying “Is Daddy coming home with you?” and Holly says “Well, we’ll see what Santa and Mommy can do, OK? Put Paulina on. Bye, honey” and we hear Lucy call for Paulina and Paulina comes over and picks up the phone and Paulina says “Hola, Mrs Holly.“ and Holly says “Um, did Mr McClane call?“ and Paulina says “No, Mrs Holly. No telefono.” and Holly says “He probably didn’t have time before his flight. It might be a good idea to make up the spare bedroom just in case.” and Paulina says “Si, Mrs Holly. I do that already.” and Holly says, “What would I do without you. Paulin?” Then Holly hangs up the phone and looks at the family picture and slams the family picture down and back to Bruce Willis with his luggage and he is jealous when he sees a couple reunite and Bruce Willis responds to that by saying “California!” and he sees his name on a card “J.McCLANE” and Bruce Willis says “Hey, I’m John McClane.” The man in a suit holding the sign introduces himself saying he is “Argyle. I’m your limo driver.” and Argyle is nervous, so he changed the topic by saying “Nice Bear.” and John says “Ok... Argyle. What do we do now?” and Argyle says “I was, uh, hoping you could tell me. It's my first time driving a limo.” and I relate to John when he says “That’s OK. It’s my first time riding in one.” and we cut to them in the limo and Argyle says “Relax. We got everything in this mug, man. Look at this… CD, CB, TV, telephone, full bar, VHS. If your friends hot to trot, I know a few mama bears we can hook up with. Or is he married?” and John says “Hes married.” and Argyle says “OK. Sorry about that. It’s the girls day off. I didn’t know you were gonna sit up front. Your lady live out here?” and John says “About the past six months” and Argyle says “Meaning you still live in New York?” and I can relate to when John says “You always ask this many question, Argyle?” because I had my first dance recently and my cousins wouldn't stop asking me questions about it and Argyle responds “Sorry. I used to drive a cab and people would expect a little chitchat.” and Argyle asks “So, you divorced?” and John says “Just drive the car, man.” and I know how that feels I mean every time I go over to my cousin they ask me how my day was and what I ate and it gets annoying and Argyle says “Hey, come on. You divorce? You separate? She beat you up?” and John says “She had a good job. It turned into a great career.” and Argyle says “That meant she had to move here.” and John says “You’re very fast, Argyle.” and Argyle says “why didn’t you come?” and John is silent staring at a huge building and Argyle says “Well? Why didn’t you come with her?” and John replies “Because I’m a New York cop. I got a backlog of New York scumbags I’m still trying to put behind bars. I just can’t go that easy.” Argyle says “You thought she wasn’t gonna make it out here and she’d come crawling back to you so why bother to pack, right?” and Argyle bursts out laughing and John says “Like I said, you’re very fast, Argyle.” and Argyle says “Mind if we hear some tunes? and puts in a cassette tape and Argyle says ”Hey, that'll work.” and I jam out with Argyle and John asks “Don’t you got any Christmas music? and it surprised me when I heard Argyle say “This is Christmas music.” because in my entire life of living on this earth I have never heard this song before. We get a good look at the tower while I’m still jamming out and the limo pulls up to the building and when John gets out Argyle says “So your lady sees you, you run into each others arms, the music comes up and you live happily ever after, right?” and John says “I can live with that.” and Argyle asks “So if it doesn’t work out, you got a place to stay?” and John responds “I’ll find a place.” and Argyle takes off his sunglasses and says “I’ll tell you what… I’ll wait in the parking garage. You score, give me a call on the car phone.” and Argyle hands John his card and Argyle says “I’ll take your bags to the desk. You strike out. I’ll get you a hotel.“ and John says “You’re all right, Argyle.” and Argyle says “Remember that when you sign for the tip.” and John closes the door and enters the building and inside the building we see a receptionist and John says “Hi” to the receptionist and he responds “Good Evening.” and John says “I’m here to see Holly McClane.” and the receptionist says “Just type it in there.” and we see this old 80’s computer built into the desk and I’m like “there is no fucking way they had these“ and my dad says “those were real” and I was shocked and John says “Cute toy” and receptionist says “Yeah, if you have to take a leak, it’ll even help you find your zipper.” He types in M for “McClane” and her name doesn't appear and I'm like “holy shit she went back to her maiden name” and tries again G for “Gennaro” and there it is “Holly Gennaro “ and John says “Christ.” and taps her name and shows her directions and John says “Thirtieth floor?” and the receptionist says “The party. They’re the only ones left in the building. Take the express elevator. Get off where you hear the noise” and John heads over to the elevator and we cut to Argyle pulling into the parking lot and we cut back to John in the elevator s the door opens up revealing this huge party and he walks into the party and the butler says “Champagne, sir?” and John says “Yeah, thanks.” and continues walking around and we pan to a waterfall then over to another level and he continues on drinking his champagne and he does not like it and returns it to the plate. He sees someone who catches his eye and he bumps into someone and says “Oh, I’m sorry.” and a man comes over and says “Hey! Merry Christmas!” and he kisses him on the cheek and both of us are confused and John says “Jesus. Fuckin’ California!" He sees a man looking at him and the woman talking to him says “Why don’t I talk to him right now?” She leaves and John asks the man, “Hi. I’m looking for…” and the man cuts him off saying “Holly Gennero.” and John is confused saying “Yeah.” and he says “Then you must be John McClane. Joe Takagi. How was your ride in?” and John says “Nice. I have you to thank for that?” and John says “Joe who?” and Joe says “Joe Mama!” Ah I just had to do that and Joe responded “Seemed the least we could do.” and John says “Quite a place you have here.” and Joe says “It will be if we ever get it finished. Still several floors under construction. Holly went to fax some documents. She should be back any minute.” Then he guides John to Holly's office saying “In the meantime, her office is back here.” and they enter Holly's office to find Harry snorting up cocaine and I’m like “oh fuck right in front of your boss.” and Ellis says some bullshit when he is caught red-handed and Joe says “I want you to meet John McClane, Holly's husband.” and holy shit knowing that your boss walked in on you and that persons husband in their office doing bad stuff you are fucked up and Joe says “Holly's policeman.” and Joe tells John “Ellis is in charge of international development.” and Ellis says “Heard a lot about you.” and John says to Ellis "You missed some.” and I’m like “oh fuck be glad you aren’t in jail” and Ellis cleans himself up and Joe says “Can I get you anything? Food? Cake? Some watered-down-champagne?” and John says “No, thank you, I’m fine.” and John says “You guys throw quite a party. I didn’t realize they celebrated Christmas in Japan.” and I’m like “Ouch that has to sting” and Joe says “We’re flexible. Pearl Harbor didn’t work out so we got you some tape decks.” and I burst out laughter cause it was such an epic comeback. and Ellis says “It’s sort of a double celebration. We closed a pretty big deal today and a lot of it was due to Holly. Right, Joe?” Holly walks into her office saying “I’ll be out in a few minutes.” and Holly sees John and is shocked and sees the other people in her office and says “Have you met everyone?” and Joe says “We’ve been sticking him with spears. Of course he has.” and Holly and John hug each other and I was like “Awww” and “She was for business. Tough as nails.” and Holly cries and says “I was hoping you made that flight.” Ellis says to Holly “Show him the watch.” and Holly replies “Later.” and Ellis smiles and says “Show him. Are you embarrassed?” and Ellis says to John “it’s just a small token of appreciation for all her hard work. It’s a Rolex. I’m sure I’ll see it late.” and I’m like “Oh no a Rolex oh no I have PTSD from back when I was in middle school listening to that song God, looking back on it now is so cringe” and Ellis asks “Is there a place where I could go wash up?” and Holly says “Sure.” and nods her head as a big truck drives up and my dad paused it and says “your going to be introduced to the villains and tell me if you recognize anyone” and the truck gets closer and makes a turn and we cut back to John and Holly and Holly says “You have to forgive Ellis. He gets very depressed this time of year.” and John is washing himself up and Holly says “He thought he was God's greatest gift. You know?” and John replied “I know the type. I think he’s got his eye on you.” and Holly says “That’s OK. I have my eye on his private bathroom.” and John washes his face when Holly asks “Where are you staying? Things happened so fast I didn't get a chance to ask you on the phone.” and John says “Cappy Roberts retired out here.” as John dries his face off with a towel and Holly says “Oh, Yeah?” and John says “He said I could bunk with him.“ and Holly is shocked and says “Cappy retire, huh? Where's he live?” John says “Romona.” and Holly says “Ha! Pomona.” and John is confused saying “Huh?” and Holly says “Pomona.” and John realizes he confuses them up and John says “Pomona.” and Holly says “Yeah.” and then Holly asks “You’ll be in the car half the time. Why don’t we make it easy? I have a spare bedroom. It’s not huge or anything, but the kids would love to have you at the house.” and John says “They would, huh?” and Holly says “I would, too.” and a couple barge in probably looking for a place to have sex and the women say “Sorry.” and Holly says it “I missed you.” and John brings up the question when he says “Didn’t miss my name, though, huh? Except maybe when you’re signing checks? Since when did you start using Ms Gennero?” and Holly says “This is a Japanese company. They figure a married woman’s…” and John cuts her off saying “You are a married woman.” and then they argue that turns into fighting and Ginny enters the room and says “Ms. Gennero, I…” and she realizes what was going on in here and Ginny says “Excuse me.” and John says “Hi.” and Ginny ignores John and says to Holly “Um, Mr. Takagi is looking for you. He wants you to say something to the troops.” and Holly says "Thank you." and Ginny leaves and Holly says to John “Speech time. Be back in a few minutes.” and John looks in the mirror and says to himself “That was great, John. Good job. Very mature.” and we cut back to the truck and a car enter the Nakatomi Plaza parking lot and the receptionist see this and the car pulls up and two men enter the building and one man says “ So Kareem rebound. Feeds Worthy on the break, over to AC, to Magic then back to Worthy.” and the other man pulls out a gun and shoots the receptionist, and I jump in my seat and I’m like “holy fuck I was not expecting this” and the other man says “Boom! Two points“ and leaps over the desk and kicks the receptionist out of the way and says “We’re in.” and the guy goes into the computer room and starts hacking in and the other man is on lookout and he sees a man and flash bangs then shoots him and the truck reverses and people walk out of the truck and my dad pauses and tells me "who do you recognize“ and press playand then pauses on a guy with a gray coat and a black shirt and a beard and nice hair and I had to squint and think and it suddenly came to me like a light bulb and I’m like “Holy shit he plays Snape from Harry Potter, Alexander Dane from Galaxy Quest, and Marvin from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy“ and my dad says “Yes, Alan Rickman“ and It shocked me so much I fell out of my seat and we watch as they are walking down the hallway past a lot of pipes, and we cut back to the hacker locking off all the elevators and putting the place on lockdown the entire building and Alan Rickman and his crew enter the building and the hacker rips out all the cables and destroys everything so someone doesn’t fuck up their plan and one of Alan Rickman's crew member dresses up as a receptionist and Alan Rickman locks the door and hands the card to the receptionist and we cut to blonde and wearing glasses and by his accent he is Russian and says “Link” and he walks down the hall and makes a turn and says “rechts und wieder links.” He slides down the railing of the stairs and I say, “that looks like fun” and he is walking down the hallway and uses this saw to destroys all the wires, and we cut to John making fist with his toes and John says “Son of a bitch.” and starts laughing and says “Fists with your toes.” and he pulls out Argyle’s card from his wallet and he sees a family picture and flips to a picture of his daughter and a letter next to them and it says “We miss You Daddy. L❤️ve, LUCY and John” and John is sad, and we see the blonde guy connecting wires to a briefcase and then pushing buttons on the briefcase with numbers appearing and then he snips one wires and John calls Argyle and John says “Yeah, Argyle?” and Argyle says “How’s it going?” and John says “All right. Where are you?” and we cut Argyle partying in the car and he says “Down at the garage. What’s with you and your lady?” and John says “The votes not in yet.” and we cut back to blonde with the laptop full of numbers and another man comes down and he says “Hey, Bruner.” and the blonde says "Moment.” and the other man turns on his chainsaw and he says “Nein!” Nein! Nein!” and the man cuts off all the wires and the blonde tries to hurry but it’s too late.” He gets disconnected from Argyle probably because the wires are phone wires and blonde is pissed and the other man walks away and in the elevator someone hands guns out to Alan Rickman's crew and they arrive to the 30th floor and the door opens and we cut back to John confused why it’s disconnected, but then John hears gunfire and screaming, and he takes his gun and peeks out the door, and he sees people with guns escorting people and Holly is with the hostages and John sees an exit door and one henchmen is so close to seeing him but is drawn away by a woman screaming and we realize it’s the man and woman from earlier in the middle of sex and they check John's room but he is gone and we cut to him running up the stairs barefoot, and he peaks into the 31st floor to find people pushing crates and closes the door carefully and goes up another floor and everyone is now in front of Alan Rickman and Ellis says “Stay calm. Everything's going to be fine.” and we see Holly with Mr. Takagi and John entering a floor and John looks around for any enemies and this floor looks like it’s under construction and he finds a dead phone and he says “Shit!” and then says “Think. Think.” and we see in his face that he has an idea and sees a woman through a window and we cut back to Alan Rickman and he silences everyone and Alan Rickman looks in his book and says “Ladies and gentlemen. Ladies and gentlemen. Due to the Nakatomi Corporations legacy of geed around the globe they’re about to be taught a lesson in the real use of power. You will be witness.” and closes his book and says “Now where is Mr. Takagi?” and we see him with Holly and she is gripping his arm tight and Alan says “Joseph Yashinobo Takagi, born Kyoto, 1937.” and Holly says “Don’t move.” and Alan Rickman says “Family emigrated to San Pedro, California, 1939.” and he starts looking for him and he continues on “interned at Manzanar, 1942 to ‘43, scholarship student University of California, 1955. Law degree, Stanford, 1962. Law degree, Stanford, 1962. MBA, Harvard, 1970. President, Nakatomi Trading. Vice Chairman, Nakatomi Investment Group…” and Mr. Takagi stands up and says ”Enough.” and Alan Rickman turns around and says “And father of five.” Mr. Takagi says “I am Takagi.” and Alan Rickman replies “How do you do? It’s a pleasure to meet you.” and before leaving Alan Rickman looks at Holly and I'm like “What the fuck are they after?” and my dad says “you’ll see” and John opens a door into an office and closes it and he says “OK, 32… construction, 33… computers.“ and we cut to Mr. Takagi in an elevator and Alan Rickman is humming and then he looks over at Mr. Takagi and says “Nice suit. John Phillips, London. I have two myself.” The elevator doors open and Alan Rickman goes through the door and says “Rumor has it Arafat buys his there.” and John peeks out a door with men pulling crates and on the crates say “Guided Missiles” and I’m like “what the fuck do they have guided missiles for?” and John closes the door and goes downstairs, and we see Alan Rickman in his office with a bunch of collections and models and Alan Rickman says, “And when Alexander saw the breadth of his domain he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer.” He stands in front of a model of Nakatomi Plaza and then he says “The benefits of a classical education.” and he sees a model of a bridge and Alan Rickman say "Ohh, that’s beautiful. I always enjoyed making models when I was a boy. The exactness, the attention to every conceivable detail. It’s beautiful.” and I’m like “When Alan Rickman says this, I might try to do models or stick with Legos?” and Mr. Takagi asks “Is this what it's all about? Our project in Indonesia” and as Mr. Takagi says “Contrary to what you people may think, we’re going to develop that region, not exploit it.” We see John peeking out of the door and seeing them and Alan Rickman says “I believe you. I read the article in Forbes.” and Alan Rickman leads Mr. Takagi to a conference room as he says “Mr. Takagi, I could talk about industrialization and men fashions all day but I’m afraid work must intrude and my associate here has some questions for you.” and opens a door to a conference room and when Mr. Takagi enters the room Alan Rickman says “Sort of fill-in-the-blanks questions actually.“ The screen displays coding and it asks the hacker for a key and he sees the man hacking into the computer and Mr. Takagi says ”I don’t have that code.” and Mr. Takagi says “You broke in here to access our computer? Any information you could get when they wake up in Tokyo, they’ll change it. You won’t be able to blackmail our executives…” and Alan cuts him off saying “Sit… down!” and Mr. Takagi does as Alan asked and Alan says “Mr. Takagi, I’m not interested in your computer. But I need the code key because I am interested in the $640 million in negotiable bearer bond that you have locked in your vault and the computer controls the vault.” and Mr. Takagi is confused and says “You want money? What kind of terrorists are you?” and Alan laughs and says “Who said we were terrorists?" We cut to John with a gun in the office and takes cover underneath the table that the bridge was on and starts sliding to find a good view and he sees them in the conference room and Alan says “The bonds represent, at most 10 days‘ operating capital for you parents organization. It’s really no more than a temporary inconvenience. Now..” and Alan Rickman removes his silencer and places it on the table, and says “The code, please.” and Mr. Takagi says “It’s useless to you. There are seven safeguards on our vault and the code keys only one of them. You’ll never get it open.” and Alan points his gun at him and says ”Then there’s no reason not to tell it to us.” and places his gun on the table and the hacker says, “I told you.” and the man says “It’s not over yet.” and Alan Rickman says “It’s a very nice suit. Mr. Takagi. It would be a shame to ruin it.” and I’m like “oh shit, oh shit, oh shit” and I have to admit that it's an awesome way of telling them people they will die and Mr. Takagi is in shock and Alan Rickman says “I’m going to count to three.” We cut to John who sees Mr. Takagi as Alan Rickman saying “There will not be a four.” and Alan has his hand above the gun as he says “Give me the code.” and Alan Rickman says “One.” and grabs his gun and Mr. Takagi is sweating and Alan Rickman says “two, three.” and Mr. Takagi says “I don’t know it. Get on a jet to Tokyo and ask the chairman. You’re just gonna have to kill me.” and Alan Rickman says “OK.” and holds up his gun and shoots him in the head blood sprays on the window behind him and both me and John are shocked I jumped in my seat and Mr. Takagi falls and Alan Rickman says “We do it the hard way. Tony. See if you dispose of that. Karl, you better check on Heinrichs work up to the machine floor.“ John tries to leave the table but bumps his head and they hear it and go investigate the noise and look everywhere and find nothing one of them looks through a Planum Glass Door and we see John is in that room and they come back with nothing and Alan Rickman says “See to Heinrich.” and looks at the hack and says “Now, you can break the code?” The hacker replies “You didn’t bring me in for my charming personality.” and Alan smiles and walks away and John sighs of relief hearing them walk away and John says, “Argyle, tell me you heard the shots. You’re calling the police right now.” and we Argyle in the limo partying out while on the phone and I burst out laughing because he didn’t hear the shots probably because they are so high up, and we cut to some men saying “Uli, get up on the pipes. Marco, you go through here. I’ll throw the cord.” and one man climbs up the pipes and one says “Hans, we’re on the roof.” and another man is rolling up the cable and throws it to Marco saying “Here.” and the other man gets the pipes.” and the man says “Uli” and he throws something to Uli and he sets something on the wall and the hacker says “30 minutes to break the code, two hours, two and a half hours for the five mechanical, at the minimum. The 7th lock, however, is out of my hands.” The hacker opens the door to reveal the safe and Alan Rickman says “I’m sorry?” and the hacker says “The 7th lock… the electromagnetic seal. You do understand the circuits cannot be cut locally?” and Alan Rickman says “Trust me.” and John enters a room under construction and John says “Why the fuck didn’t you stop him, John? ‘Cause then you’d be dead, too, asshole. Think. Goddamn it! Think!“ and I fucking love this line because it’s so true and he looks up to see the sprinklers and looks over to see a Fire Alarm and I'm like “I know what he’s thinking and thats a smart move.” and we see lights flashing on level 32 and the receptionist says “We’ve got a fire alarm.” and Alan Rickman says “Call 911. Give them the guard's name and cancel the alarm. Then disable the says…” and by the look on their face they know, it’s him and Alan says “Eddie, on what floor did the alarm go off?” and we cut to the engineers and one asks “Shall we go?” and he says “Nein.” German for “No?” and the receptionist hooks up some stuff and dials in and we see the huge line of police cars and John runs to the window saying “Yes. Hello, baby. Come to Papa. Come on.” and at the window, he sees the police cars get closer he says “Ah ha ha ha!” and jumps in joy and says “Come on, baby. Come on baby. Come to Papa. I'll kiss your fuckin’ Dalmatian.” and the police cars turn into the gas station and I'm like “oh fuck no” and both me and John are pissed, and he says “You stupid motherfuckers! No!” and John starts banging on the wall and he says “Turn the fuckin’ truck around!” and the elevator dings and John hears it and blonde walks into the room and he turns the lights on and we see John with his gun behind a crate and blonde notices this huge crate and we both know John is hiding behind it and he slowly approaches it and he says “The fire has been called, off my friend. No-One is coming to help you. You might as well come out and join the others.” He loads his gun and says, “I promise I won't hurt you.” and jumps to the back of the crate and starts shooting at the floor and realizing he's gone he stops shooting and we hear a machine turn on, and he runs to the noise and the machine slowly stops and he turns the corner to find a razor blade slowing down and John points a gun to his head and says “Drop it, dickhead. It's the police.” and blonde says “You won't hurt me.” and John says, “Yeah? Why not?” and he says “Because you're policeman. There are rules for policemen.” and John has the greatest response “Yeah, that's what my captain keeps telling me.” and John hits him over the head and it breaks out into a fight and John jumps onto his back and blonde shoves him into a wall and he shoots at the walls trying to hit him and they crash into a wall and John disarms the blonde and they crash through a door leading to stairs and they fall down the stairs and at the bottom the blonde makes a scream I have never heard before and John gets up and rolls the blonde over revealing he is dead and John is catching his breath and gets up and pulls his head up to make sure he is dead and we see all the markings and he drops his head and we cut back to the hacker and it turns out Akagi translated in English is “Red Castle” and the vault says “ACCESS CODE ACCEPTED LOCK No ONE DISABLED. DO YOU WISH TO PROCEED.” and the hacker says “Bet your Ass I want to proceed.” and puts on goggles and launches a drill that's drill into vault, and we cut to John looting the blonde and his bag finding ammunition, a walkie talkie and John puts it on his person and Im like “thats going to be very helpful” and John finds a lighter in the backpack and now searches the man himself and finds a wallet with his ID and John now puts on the mans shoes and he says “Nine million terrorists in the world and I got to kill one with feet smaller than my sister.” and John kicks the shoe off and we see the man sitting on a stool in the elevator and John looks over at Santa Claus mannequin, and my dad pauses this movie and says “Some people actually believe Die Hard is not a Christmas movie” and my eyes widen and I'm like “WTF, you have to be joking with me there is no fucking way people think Die Hard is not a Christmas movie” and my dad said “Yes” and I was in shock because I have heard a lot about stupid people but these people who think Die Hard is not a Christmas movie are on a whole norther level of stupid now these people are retarded and people like these are the reason I lose faith in humanity” and my dad plays it and John smiles at Santa and on the elevator he presses floor 31 and floor 30 and the elevator door closes and he switches the elevator to ”STOP“ and opens the elevator to floor 32 and shoves a metal pipe up and pushes the door open and he has a screwdriver hold it’s place as John hops in and switch the elevator back to “Run” and we cut to Alan Rickman, and he says to the hostages “I wanted this to be professional, efficient, adult, cooperative. Not a lot to ask. Alas, your Mr. Takagi did not see it that way so he won't be joining us for the rest of his life." Everyone knows what that means from the look on Holly's face and Alan says "We can go any way you want it. You can walk out of here or be carried out but have no illusions... we are in charge. So... decide now, each of you" and we pan over to the elevator that dings and Alan says "and please remember" and the man turns around and Alan says "we have left nothing at chance" and we see what he is looking at Blonde with a Santa hat and his sweater says "Now I HAVE A MACHINE GUN" and I'm like "what does the rest say" and the woman sees the body and starts screaming and the man says "Its Tony!" and Alan runs over to the body and they keep people back and Alan says "Get them back!" and Holly and Ellis are trying to see what's going on and we get a closer look at Tony and now Holly and Ellis see it and she knows it's John's doing and Alan Rickman read the sweater "Now I have a machine gun. Ho...ho...ho." and I'm like "I fucking love this guy" and Alan makes sure he is dead and someone says "A security guard we missed?" and Alan says "They're usually tired old policeman. No, this is something else." and we see John is on the roof of the elevator peering through the peephole, and we finally get Alan Rickman's name when someone says "We have to do something, Hans." and Hans says "Yes, we do. Tell Karl his brother is dead. Tell him to come down." The man says "Karl... Komm sofort." and Hans says "Franco, Fritz, take the body upstairs and out of sight. I don't want the hostages to think too much." and we see John writing Hans and Karl names and I ask, "why is he writing down there names?." and my dad replies "Hes writing down their names to keep track of the terrorists." and John looks up and sees a man get on an elevator and it passes by him and John on the elevator is going up and he looks up and lays down when he hits the top and Im like "this reminds me of Mission: Impossible" and John climbs over an elevator shaft leading into a room and he opens the panel leading to the hall and on one lockers is a nude woman and he goes past it and goes down a ladder and we see a man flipping a table and Hans pins him to a wall and he says "I want blood!" and I'm like "oh so, this is Tony" and Hans says "You'll have it, but let Heinrich plant the detonators and Theo prepare the vault. After we call the police. You can tear the building apart looking for this man, but until then do not alter the plan!" and Tony says "And if he alters it?" and we see them in the office talking and Elli asks "What do you think?" and Holly says "Somethings wrong." and Ellis says, "Cops?" and Holly says "John." and Ellis is confused and says "John?" and Ellis says "He can fuck this whole thing up. What does he think hes doing?" and Holly says "His job." and Ellis says "Bullshit. His jobs 3,000 miles away. Without him, we still have a chance to get out of here." and Holly says "Tell that to Takagi." We cut to John running up some stairs leading to the roof and John notices a radio tower and John grabs the walkie talkie and says "Mayday, Mayday, anyone copying channel nine." and we see the walkie talkie and John says "Terrorists have seized the Nakatomi building" and we see both that Karl and Hans are listening in on this as John says "and are holding at least 30 people hostage. I repeat. Unknown number of terrorists" and we cut to John says "six or more armed with automatic weapons at Nakatomi Plaza. Century City." We cut back to Hans asking "Where's the best place to transmit?" and then it comes to him and he says "The roof! Go! Go!" and Karl leaves to go to the roof to avenge his brother and they hand him a bag and we cut to the police and one says "It's the same address as that fire signal." and another says "I'll handle it." and a dispatch puts on a headset and says "Attention, whoever you are, this channel is reserved for emergency calls only." and John says "No fucking shit, lady! Do I sound like I'm ordering a pizza?" I burst out laughing because its a genius response and we see Karl's men in an elevator and they are all set and as they leave the elevator Karl says "No-one kills him but me." and we cut to John saying "They have already killed one hostage. They are fortifying their positions while you're jerkin' me off on the radio!" and the policewoman says "Sir, I've already told you. This is a reserved channel. If this is an emergency call, dial 911 on your telephone. Otherwise, I'll report this as an FFC violation." and we cut to John and John says "Fine! Report me! Come the fuck down here and arrest me! Just send the police now!" and John starts being shot at by Karl and his men and the police hears the gunshots and takes off the headset and as Karl shoots at him John is jumping onto something and starts sliding down and he screams and is saved by a metal fence and turns around the dispatch says "See if a black and white can drive by." and we cut to a police officer taking a lot of sweets and hums to himself and his arms are full of sweets and takes it to the cash register and the cashier asks "Thought you guys just ate doughnuts." and the police officer says "They're for my wife." and the cashier says "Yeah." and Im like "Awwww, I can relate to that even if my little sister is a pain in my ass I sometimes think of her and get some candy and the police officer says "She's pregnant." and the cashier says "Yeah." and I'm like "This guy is a total asshole" and the police says "Bag it." and the cashier says "Big time." and the police says "Thanks." and he takes his bag and on his walkie talkie dispatch says "Dispatch to Lincoln-30. Over.” and the cop says “This is 8-Lincoln-30.” The dispatch says “Investigate a code two at Nakatomi Plaza. Century City.” and the cop leaves the store and Dispatch calls in, “8-Lincoln-30 to Dispatch. I’m on my way.” and he opens his police car door to throws his bag in and walks out and he sees Nakatomi Plaza, and we cut to John running for his life and starts shooting at them” and Karl is on the roof approaching John slowly and Karl sees John running and starts shooting at him and he took cover behind then he crashes into a fence after going through the door and he goes running and comes to a stop when he saw a giant fan and Karl and the crew follows him through the door and one runs down a staircase and despite stopping the fan for enough time to slide through a gap, the fan was too close and nearly hit his foot then Karl shoots at John but he made it out on the other side and John climbs down a pole and lands on the ground and the men leave and he goes through the panel seeing the naked women again and this means he is right where he started and he covers it up and says “Girls.” He looks down a ledge sees a man's shadow and hides behind a wall and he goes back through the panel and looks for something and says, “Shit! Where the fuck is it?” He takes out a screen panel and he looks down an endless shaft and Karl and his men go down the stairs and John hears them getting close, and he enters a shaft and when hears the panel fall it’s a very long drop and John says “Oh, my God.” and Karl searches the panels and Karl stares at the open panel before him and the man says, “He’s in the elevator shaft.” and Hans says, “Perfect. The elevators are locked off. He can’t escape. Just shut him in and come back down.” and John is in the shaft.” and Hans says, “Karl, the police are probably on their way already. Karl?.” and we cut to John going down the shaft with only his gun to hold him up and I’m like “please tell me this is CGI” and my dad said “back then those days they didn’t have CGI” and I'm like “No fucking way this scene is real” and he sees nowhere to go and says “Christ.” and we cut to Hans as he says, “I can stall them but not if they hear gunshots. If you lock him in he’ll be neutralized…” and Karl turns off the walkie talkie and the gun breaks and I’m tensing up and he tries to reach for another vent and the gun can’t handle it and they open the panel and the gun breaks and John falls down but he grabs a vent, and I was utterly shocked he made it and he climbs into the vent and in the vent then he takes out his lighter to see how far the vent goes and he says one of the best lines “Come out to the coast! Well get together have a few laughs.” Then he flips off his lighter and Karl sees the light from the vent go off and John crawls through the vents and John says “Now I know what a TV dinner feels like.” and we see Carl and his friends running through the hall and they enter a room full of vents and one says “Such!” and they search the vents and we see John can see Carl through the vent holes and I’m on the edge of my seat and he hears a thump and shoots at all of the vents, and some almost hit John and we see a bullet hole very close to him and he pushing up on the vents with a gun to feel any weight and John draws his gun and is ready for Karl and Karl is right below him and someone says “Karl, Komi! die polizei! Karl, die polizei!” and Karl leaves and John has a sigh of relief and the police from earlier pull up to Nakatomi Plaza and a man I think is Karl on the roof and we cut to John gets down from the vent and he goes into the room where Mr. Takagi was killed and John sees the police car pulling up and John says “Well, it’s about time.” The police officer says, “No sign of disturbance, Dispatch.” and Dispatch says, “Roger. Possible crank call. Check the area again and confirm.” and John sees the police car turn around and John says, “Who’s driving this car, Stevie Wonder?” and the police says “I do see a guard inside. I’m gonna go in for a closer look.” and Dispatch says, “Use. Caution” and Hans sees the police car pull up and Hans says “Eddie?” and Eddie says “I had a feelin’ you’d be calling.” and John watches the cop get out and we see the officer get out of his car and go up to Nakatomi Plaza and the receptionist lets him in and Eddie says, “Evenin’, officer. What can I do for you?” and we see Karl and his crew run to a window and the cop follows the receptionist as he says “We had that false alarm. You ask me, that goddamn computer sent you on another wild-goose chase. They been chasing bug in this system ever since they installed it.” and the receptionist sits down to watch a game and Eddie says, “Aw, shit! I got 50 bucks bet on them assholes.” and John looks out the window as he says, “Come on, come on, where’s the fucking Calvary?” and he takes a chair and throws it against a window making a crack and the person on the roof sees this and reports it to the engineers and Marco grabs a gun and runs off, and we cut back to the cop and he asks, “Mind if I look around?” and the receptionist says, “Help yourself.” and when he leaves the receptionist monitores him and we cut to John smashing the chair against the window and he says “I’ll put this fuckin’…” but is cut off by Marco entering the room and John sees Marco and says, “Freeze, motherfucker! Drop it!” and Marco says, ”Don’t shoot!” and John says, “Put the gun down!” and Marco says “OK! Don’t shoot!” and John says, “Drop the fuckin’ gun!” and the man behind him says, “Marco, down!” and Marco drops to the floor and John shoots the other guy and John goes under the table and Marco goes on top of it and back with the cop while the cop is walking down the hallway we see someone is ready to shoot him and I’m like “Don’t get any closer.” and as if he heard me he turns around and says, “Ah, to hell with this!” Back with John we see Marco is shooting at the tables and John is crawling away and he soon runs out of tables and Marco says, “You are done! No more table! Where are you going, pal?” and reloads his gun and says, “Next time you have a chance to kill someone, don’t hesitate.” John shoots at him from underneath the table killing Marco and says, ”Thanks for the advice.” and I’m like, “It's just like in LOUP2 where they say “she’s out of ammo and you shoot them with your other gun” and we cut to the cop leave as he says to the receptionist “I’m sorry to waste your time.” and the receptionist replies “No problem at all.” and the cop says, “Merry Christmas.“ and Merry Christmas to you.” and John runs back to the window as he sees the cop leave and John says, “Oh, for the love…” and he looks over to something then back to the window and the cop says to dispatch on the walkie talkie “8-Lincoln-30 to Dispatch.” and Dispatch says, “Go ahead.” and the cop says, “A wild-goose chase over here at Nakatomi Plaza. Everything here's OK. Over.” and he gets into HIS car and he starts sings to himself, and a body falls into his window and I’m like, “I swear to god I thought it was going to be a chair” and he says, “Shit! Goddamn it Jesus H Christ!” Then he starts reversing and Karl or his friend shoots at him and John says one of my favorite lines “Welcome to the party, pal!” The police car is still reversing and he goes by Argyle and the cop says, “Get someone here now, goddamn it! Policeman under automatic rifle fire at Nakatomi!” and the police car goes down a hill as he says, “I need backup assistance now! Now goddamn it Now!” and his car goes through a fence and now his car his hanging like something out of GTA and the officer gets out of the car and we go to a station and a man asks “Monica, I can get us a table. Wolfgang and I are very close friends. I interviewed him, for God’s sake.” and he hears Dispatch say “…Nakatomi. Repeat. Officer needs assistance at…” the voice of the officer is heard “I’m at Nakatomi Plaza. They’re turning my car into Swiss cheese! I need backup assistance now! Now, goddamn it! Now! The man gets up and back at Nakatomi Plaza we see a bunch of police cars arriving and there is a lot of police cars and Ellis says “Never thought I'd love to hear that sound.” and Hans has a meeting with everyone and Hans says, “All of you relax. This is a matter of inconvenient timing, that's all. Police action was inevitable and, as it happens, necessary. So, let them fumble about outside and stay calm. This is simply the beginning.” and the walkie-talkie comes on with static telling us someone is on the other line and Hans says I told you all I wanted radio silence until…” and we hear John say, “I'm very sorry, Hans. I didn't get the message. Maybe you shouldn’t have put it on the bulletin board. I figured since I waxed Tony and Marco and his friend here. I figured you and Karl and Franco might be lonely so I wanted to give you a call.” and one man asks, “How does he know so much about us?” and Hans quits him down and Hans says “That’s very kind for you. I assume you are our mysterious party crasher. You are most troublesome for a security guard.” and John responds “Eeeh! Sorry. Hans. Wrong guess. Would you like to go for double jeopardy where the scores can really change?” and John loots the body and finds cigarettes and John says, “Mm, these are very bad for you.” and Hans asks, “Who are you, then?” and John says, “Just in the ointment, Hans. The monkey in the wrench, the pain in the ass.” and he searches through a bag and finds detonators and a brick of C4 and he says, “Whoa!” and Hans says to the crew, “Check on all the others. Don’t use the radio. See if he is lying about Marco and find out if anyone else is missing.“ and everyone leaves to check it out and Hans asks “Mr Mystery Guest, are you still there?” and John responds “Yeah. I’m still here unless you want to open the door for me.” and Hans says “No. I’m afraid not but you have me at loss. You know my name, but who are you? Just another American who saw too many movies as a child? Another orphan of a bankrupt culture who thinks he’s John Wayne, Rambo, Marshal Dillion?” and Bruce says, “I was always partial to Roy Rogers, actually. I liked those sequined shirts.” and Hans says, “Do you really think you have a chance against us, Mr. Cowboy?”” and the elevator dings and John says “Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker.” and I loved that line. It's one of the greatest one liners of all time. and John goes through a door and we cut to the news reporter as he says to someone, “Ill beat everyone if I get a remote.” and the news anchor says, “Sam. I don't have the new pages.” and Sam says, “Harvey, keep your pants on.” and the news reporter says, “Sam, I'm begging you.” and Sam says, “Simon’s with the remote. I'll tell him to swing by.” and the news reporter says, “I won't sit on this. This is my story! I'm going out there! Look. Sam. Tell you what. You don't give me a truck, I'll steal a truck.” and Harvey says, “Give us a break. Thornburg.” and Thornburg says, “Eat it, Harvey!” and the news anchor goes live and Harvey says, “Harvey, we're on the air.” and while they are live Harvey looks over at Thornburg and Thornburg looks at Sam and Sam says, “Take truck number five. Get out of here.” and Thornburg leaves and we cut to the Karl and the crew run past the hostages and into Hans office and Karl says, “He wasn't lying about Marco. He's down on the street. The other man was Heinreich and his bag is missing.” and Hans says, “He had the detonators.” and calls the hacker and Hans says, “Theo. Theo.” and Theo is drilling into the vault and Theo responds “Yo!” and Hans says, “We may have some problems. How’s our schedule?” and Theo looks at a computer and says, “Three down, four to go.” and Hans says, “Then don’t waste time talking to me.” The police officer who crashed through the fence with his car comes over the walkie talkie and he says, “This is Sergeant Al Powell of the Los Angeles Police Department. If the person who radioed for help can hear me on this channel, acknowledge this transmission.” and Theo turns off the drill to listen in and Al Powell says, “I say again, if the person who radioed for help can hear me, acknowledge this transmission!“ and John enters the room and says, “I read you, pal. You the guy in the car?” and Al Powell says, “What’s left of him. Can you identify yourself?” and John says, “Not now. Maybe later.” and Im like “damn that’s a smart ass fucking move because he probably knows they are listening in” and John says, “Listen fast. This is a party line. The neighbors itchy trigger fingers. All right, here’s the deal. You got 30 or so hostages on the 30th floor. The leader’s name is Hans.” and a man in Hans office says “We have to find him and shut him up. He’s telling them everything!” and Hans says “Let him. I’m waiting for the FBI. He can waste as much as he likes but we must find the bag, Fritz. We must have the detonators.” and Hans gets up and John says, “They have a freakin‘ arsenal here. They got missiles, automatic weapons, and enough plastic explosives to orbit Arnold Schwarzenegger.” and I burst out laughing because of that reference and John says, “They're down to nine now, counting the skydrivers you met. These guys are mostly European judging by their clothing labels and… cigarettes. They’re well financed and very slick.” and Al Powell asks, “How do you know that?” and John says, “I’ve seen enough phony IDs in my time to recognize the ones they got must have cost a fortune. Add all that up. I don't know what the fuck it means but you got some bad-ass perpetrators and they’re here to stay.” and Al Powell says, “I hear you, partner. LA’s finest are on it, so light em’ if you got ‘em.” and John lights a cigarette and says, “Way ahead of you, partner." and Al Powell asks, "So what do I call you?" and John says, "Call me... Roy." and I burst out laughing because I get it its a reference to Roy Rogers and Al Powell says "Listen up, Roy, if you think of anything else, don't be shy, OK?" and another police officer cleans Al Powell as he says, "I the meantime, find a safe place and let us do our job." and John says, "They're all yours, Al." and Theo turns the drill back on and we see more and more police showing up and a man drives up and shows his badge and asks "Who's talking to 'em?" and Al Powell says "I am, sir. Sergeant Powell. Al Powell." and the man introduces himself "Dwayne Robinson. What's the deal? What do these pricks want?" and Al Powell says, "If you mean the terrorists, we haven't heard a peep from them." and Dwayne says, "Who have you been talking to?" and Al Powell says, "We don't know. He won't give us his name. But he appears to be the one who phoned. He's killed one terrorist and claims he capped off two others." and Dwayne says, "He claims?" and Dwayne makes an excellent point "Powell, has it occurred to you he could be one of the terrorists pulling your chain or some nutcase in there?" and Al Powell responds "I don't think so. In fact, I think he's a cop, maybe not LAPD, but he's definitely a badge" and Dwayne asks, "How do you know that?" and Al Powell says "A hunch... things he said like being able to spot a phony ID." and Dwayne says "Jesus Christ, Powell! He could be a fucking bartender for all we know!" and one cop says, "TV's here." and Dwayne says "Oh, shit" and we see the TV truck pull up and the police officers trying to stop them" and in Hans office they turn on a TV, and Holly comes into Hans office and I'm like "Oh shit this is bad" and Holly says, "I have a request." and Hans says, "What idiot put you in charge?" And Holly makes an excellent point when Holly says "You did when you murdered my boss. Now everybody's looking at me. I'd pass on the job. I don't enjoy being this close to you." Hans sits down and says, "Go on." and Holly says "We have a pregnant woman. Relax. She's not due for a couple weeks but sitting on that rock isn't doing her back any good. So id like permission to move her to an office with a sofa." and Hans says, "No, but I'll have a sofa brought out. Good enough?" and Holly says, " Good enough. And unless you like it messy, start bringing us in groups to the bathroom." and Hans says "Yes. You're right. It will be done." and Holly looks at the photo facing down and Holly is looking at the photo facing down Hans asks "Was there something else?" and Holly says "No, thank you." Then she walks out and Hans says, "Mr Takagi chose his people well, Mrs...?" and as she walks out she says, "Gennero. Mrs Gennero." and the news says, "We interrupt this programme for a special news bulletin." We see on the TV as Thornburg says "This is Richard Thornburg live from Century City. Tonight, Los Angeles has joined the sad and worldwide fraternity of cities whose only membership requirement is to suffer the anguish of internation terrorism." and we see the TV is in the limo with Argyle listening to it and Richard says something that catches Argyle's attention "Approximately two hours ago, an unidentified group of men seized control of the Nakatomi building, sealing off all entrances and exits. All telephone lines have been cut and the only communication now possible has been through the use of CB communicators which the group brought with them." and Argyle jumps up and runs over to his CB radio and Argyle turns it on and hears a police voice saying, "Until five, hold your position in the main entrance." and a police officer says, "We got Charlie unit in position by the parking structure." and another asks, "Let me ask you something. Does this stairway go up to the escalator?" and he says, "Yeah. Tell them to go ahead." and Powell is looking over at something and then Al Powell says "What's going on?" and Dwayne says, "What's it look like? Were going in." and Al Powell says, "Going in? Man, that's crazy! There could be over 30 hostages in there for all we know." and Dwayne says, "We don't know shit, Powell. If there's hostages, how come there was no ransom demand? If there's terrorists in there, where's their list of demands? All we know is that somebody shot your car up. It's probably the same silly son of a bitch you've been talking to on that radio." and Powell says, "Excuse me, sir, but what about the body that fell out of the window?" and Dwayne says, "Probably some stockbroker got depressed." and someone says, "We're ready, Chief." and Dwayne says, "Light 'em up. Lets go." and he says, "Hit your lights." and Al Powell looks in shock and a man says, "Blue units, go." ad someone says, "Lights on!" and they turn on these huge lights and these huge light are the ones you would use to show the Batman signal in the sky" and we cut to John in a room covered in darkness and then a light comes on and John says to Powell over the Walkie Talkie and He asks, "Powell? Powell, you still with me, babe? What's going on?" and John sees the lights turn on and John says, "Yo, Al." and Al Powell says, "I'm here, Roy, but I'm kind of busy right now. Ill talk to you later." and John says, "Al, what's wrong?" and Al Powell says, "Ill talk to you later. If you are what I think you are, you'll know when to listen, shut up, and when to pray." and John connects it and John says, "Jesus Christ! You're coming in, right? Christ, Powell, I told you what kind of people you're dealing with here." and a man says, "Lets load them up." and Hans looks out the window and says into the walkie talkie "They'll be coming. Everyone get ready. Theo, you are the eyes now." and we see Theo turn on TVs that are connected to the security cameras and Eddie closes off the elevators with metal bars on each side of him and back with the police a man says "Rivers." and Rivers responds "Yo." and the man says, "Begin your reconnoiter." and the soldiers run up to the building and John looks out the window and John says, "Shit!" and runs over to another window" and we cut to Argyle almost driving to a fence then reversing and one soldiers says "Come on. Let's go" and these soldiers are going through some bushes and a solider gets pricked and says, "Ow! Jesus!" Uli goes behind one of those candy counters with candy underneath and Eddie reloads his gun and Uli behind the candy counter looks at the candy and looks around and reaches underneath the counter to grab candy, and I burst out laughing because this big tough man grabbed a piece of candy and Argyle is driving the limo around to find a way out but he finds a dead end after dead end and one man says, "All right, spread out." and Theo is typing and Argyle finds another dead end and turns his car off and he sees the bear John left behind and Argyle says, "Shut up." to the bear and we see the soldiers running up to the building and John sees them through the window and John says, "You macho assholes. No! No!" and we see the soldiers running up to the building and Theo watches them on the TV and Theo says, "Ahem... all right. Listen up, guys. 'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring, except the four assholes coming into the rear in standard two-by-two cover information." and we see the soldiers at Nakatomi Plaza along the wall and one soldier says "Were all set." and one police officer tells Dwayne, "Were ready." and Dwayne says "Kick ass." and the man says, "Go!" and the soldier says, "Right. Let's do it." and the soldiers go to the door to unlock it and the man eats his candy and sees the soldiers and signals someone and a man shoots at them and Dwayne says, "They're shooting at 'em." and one police officer says, "Its panic fire. They can't see anything." and Al Powell says, "They're shooting at the lights." and one men shoots out the lights and Dwayne says, "They're going after the lights. Call them back." and both me and Al Powell are like "oh my fucking god" and I'm like "fuck you Dwayne for taking Al Powell's credit you asshole" and one solider lock picking the door and he says, "It's not happening Mike burn it." and Mike comes over with a blowtorch and Hans says, "Don't be impatient. Just wound them." and we see the man with the candy bar spot them with a blowtorch and Dwayne says "Get them back. They're sitting ducks without lights." Another man says, "They're almost in." and the man says, "Send in the car. Send in the car." and we see this armored RV drive up and Police cars start reverse and Uli eats a candy bar aims his gun at the soldiers unlocking the door and he shoots at the window and one Soldier gets hit and says "Jesus Christ! and other solider tackle him to get him out of the way and Eddie on the floor shoots at the man unlocking the door and he falls to the ground and the man says, "Rivers, Rodriguez, report." and Theo says, "Wait a minute. What have we here, gentleman?" and we see the armored RV and Theo says, "The police have themselves an RV." and we see this armored RV speed up and Theo says "Southeast corner." and we see the man pulling the guiding missiles and I was tense at this scene because I was not sure who would get there first will the armored RV break through the doors of Nakatomi Plaza or will it be blown up by Hans men and the man with a guided missiles goes into an elevator and John sees this through the window and he says, "Oh, Jesus Christ." and John looks out the window to see sees the armored RV driving up and the man pushes the guided missiles and Theo says, "Get over there." and a man helps him and says, "Schnell! Schnell! Mach Schnell!" and one box of the missiles falls off and he goes to pick up one of the missles and the man says, "Weiter! Weiter! Weiter!" and he leaves it and the man says, "Mach Schnell! Mach Schnell! Weiter!" and they stop and unload the box and he sets up the guided missiles and the armored RV are speeds up and they get the guided missiles loaded into the machine and the RV speeds up even more and a man looks into some sort of binoculars and says, "I see him!" and the armored RV drives up the staircase and gets stuck and the man says, "Fire!" The other man responds "Clear!" and the aims at his target and fires a guided missile and it blows up the armored RV and and I'm like "holy shit" but damn that explosion was beautiful and Theo screams, "Oh, my God! The quarterback is toast!" and Dwayne and the other man argue and then the man says, "Hang on, Rivers. that's an order." and Hans says, "Hit it again." and John says to Hans "All right, you motherfucker, you made your point! Let them pull back!" and Hans says, "Thank you, Mr Cowboy. I'll take it under advisement. Hit it again." and John looks over at the elevator and John brings a chair over and breaks open a glass safe holding an ax and John hits the ax into the elevator door and Hans says, "Fire." and they shoot at it again with another beautiful explosion and John opens the door to an elevator shaft and looks down and says, "Fuck me." and we cut to Dwayne and Dwayne says, "Get them out of the car! They're burning!" and we see the Armoured RV and we look over and we see the men who were trying to blow torch the door and ended up getting shot at and they are screaming in pain and John places blasting caps into a brick of C4 and I'm like, "Anything with C4 goes BOOM!" and John says, "Fuck it." and the men need another missiles but if you remember they dropped it so while he is retrieving it gives John enough time and John takes a computer and puts on top of the C4 and wrap the cable around the chair and John says, "Lets see you take this under advisement, jerkweed." and the man grabs the guided missiles and its near an elevator and John says, "Geronimo, motherfucker.." and he throws the chair down the elevator shaft and we see the man with the guided missile gets blasted and it blows up the whole floor and I mean it blows up everything and I love the dust cloud and explosions goes up to John and he says, "Oh, shit!" and jumps out of the way and this is one of my favorite scenes and a man comes into Hans office and says "They're using artillery on us!" and Hans says "You idiot, its not the police. It's him." We see outside the aftermath of the explosion and Dwayne says "Holy shit." and Thornburg says, "My God! Tell me you got that." and the cameraman says "I got it." and I burst out laughing and Thornburg says, "Eat your heart out, Channel Five." On the news reporter says "We've had an update on the terrorist takeover of the Nakatomi building. Sources say the terrorist's leader, Hans, maybe this man... Hans Gruber. A member of the radical West German Volksfrei movement. Strangley, the Volksfrei leadership issued a communiqué an hour ago stating that Gruber had been expelled from that organization." and John says, "Al, do you copy?" and Al Powell says, "Are you all right?" and John says, "Yeah, I'm fine." and Al says, "W-what was that?" and John says, "Remember that plastic explosive I told you about?" We see John covered in dust as he says, "There you go. Is the building on fire?" and Al says, "No, but it's gonna a paint job and a shitload of screen doors. Our spotter said you got two with that blast." and Dwayne turns around and says, "Is that him?" and Al says, "Yes, sir." and I'm like, "this conversation is going to be fucking gold." and Dwayne takes the CB radio from Al and Dwayne says, "I don't know who you think you are but you just destroyed a building." and John is trying to dust himself off as Dwayne says, "We do not want your help. Is that clear? We don't want your help. I've got 100 people down here, and they're covered with glass." and John replies "Glass? Who gives a shit about glass? Who the fuck is this?" and I burst out laughing and Dwayne says, "This is Deputy Chief of Police Dwayne T Robinson and I am in charge of this situation." and John says, "Oh, you're in charge? I got some bad news for you, Dwayne. From up here it doesn't look like you're in charge of shit." and Dwayne says, "Listen to me, you little asshole..." and John interrupts "Asshole? I'm not the one who just got buttfucked on national TV, Dwayne." and both me and Argyle burst into laughter and I was laughing so hard I thought I might die of laughter and John says, "Listen to me, jerk-off, if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Quite being part of the problem and put the other guy back on!" and Dwayne hands over the CB radio back to Al Powell and John says, "Hey, Roy, how you feeling?" and John says, "Pretty fucking unappreciated, Al." and Al Powell says, "Hey, look. I love you. So do a lot of the other guys. So you hang in there, man, you hear me? You hang in there." and John says, "Yeah, thanks, partner." and back with the hostages Ellis snorts cocaine with his thumb and Holly asks "What are you doing?" and Ellis says "I'm tired of sitting here waiting to see who gets us killed first them or your husband." and Holly asks "What are you going to do?" and Ellis replies "Hey, babe, I negotiate million-dollar deals for breakfast. I think I can handle this Eurotrash." and Ellis says to a soldier "Hey, sprechen sie talk, huh?" and Hans tells Karl "If you'd listened to me, he would be neutralized already." and Karl says "I don't want neutral. I want dead." They bring Ellis into Han's office and Ellis says, "Hope I'm not interrupting." and Hans asks, "What does he want?" and Ellis replies "It's not what I want. It's what I can give you." and Karl reaches for his gun and Hans nods "no" and Ellis says, "Look, let's be straight, OK? It's obvious you're not some dumb schmuck up here to snatch a few purses." and Hans says "You're very perceptive. I watch 60 Minutes. I say to myself, these guys are professionals, they're motivated, they're happening, they want something. I couldn't care less about your politics. Maybe you're pissed off at the camel jockeys. Maybe it's the Hebes, Northern Ireland. It's none of my business. I figure you're here to negotiate, am I right?" and Hans says "You're amazing. You figured this all out already?" and Ellis says, "Hey business is business. You use a gun, I use a fountain pen. What's the difference? Let's put it in my terms. you're here on a hostile takeover. You get us for some green but you didn't expect some poison pill was gonna be running around the building. Am I right? Hans, bubbie... I'm your white knight." and Hans says, "I must have missed 60 Minutes. What are you saying?" and Ellies pats Karl and says, "The guy upstairs whos fucking things up, huh?" and Ellis sits in a chair and says "I can give him to you." and gives a wide grin and we cut to Al and John saying "Oh, God..." and Al responds "Roy? Roy, you all right?" and John says, "Just trying to fire down a 1,000-year-old Twinkie." Then John spits it into the trash can and John says, "What do they put in these things, anyway? and Al laughs and says "Sugar, enriched flour, partislly hydrogenated vegetable oil, polysorbate 60, and yellow dye number five. Just everything s growing boy needs." and John asks, "How many kids you got, Al?" and Al says "As a matter of fact, my wife is working on our first." and Al Powell says, "How about you, cowboy? You got any kids back on your ranch?" and John responds, "Yeah. Two. Sure hope I can see them swinging on a jungle gym with Al Jr someday." and Al laughs and says, "Well, now, that's a date but you bring the ice cream." and Hans interrupts them "Touching, cowboy. Touching. Or should I call you Mr. McClane? Mr Officer John McClane of the New York Police Department?" and I jumped out of my seat and started saying, "Oh Shit, Oh Shit, Oh Shit, He Fucking Knows Now, He Fucking Knows." and I was in a panic and Richard in his van says to a woman, "Get on the phone to Harry in New York." and Al says, "You better get a hold of somebody at Dispatch." and John responds to Hans "Sister Theresa called me Mr McClane in the third grade. My friends call me John and you're neither, shithead." I wish I could find this was a clip on YouTube I have searched for it and I cannot find it and Hans says, "I have someone who wants to talk to you. A very special friend who was with you at the party tonight." and Hans hands over the walkie talkie over to Ellis and Ellis says, "Hey, John boy." and John says, "Ellis?" and Ellis responds "Yeah. Listen, John, they're giving me a few minutes to talk sense into you. I know you think you're doing your job and I can appreciate that but you're just dragging this thing out. Look, no-one gets out of here until these guys can talk to the LA Police. That won't happen until you stop messing up the works. Capisce?" and John asks, "Ellis, what have you told them?" and Ellis says, "I told them we were old friends and you were my guest at the party." and John says "Ellis, you shouldn't be doing this." and Ellis says, "Tell me about it." and a guy gets a glass cup and pours Coke into it and I'm like "Oh no, he is treating them like they are his servants he's gonna die for that making them feel like he has a higher power" and Ellis says, "All right, John listen. They want you to tell them where the detonators are. They know people are listening. They want the detonators, or they're gonna kill me. John didn't you hear me?" and John says, "Yeah, I hear you. John get with the programme. The police are here now. It's their problem. Tell these guys where the detonators are so no-one else gets hurt! I'm putting my life on the line for you, pal!" and John says, "Ellis, listen to me carefully." and Ellis says "John..." and John cuts him off "Shut up, Ellis! Just shut your mouth! Put Hans back on the line." and Ellis holds the walkie-talkie up as John says "Hans, this shithead doesn't know what kind of man you are but I do." and Hans says, "Good. Then you'll give us what you want and save your friend's life. You're not part of this equation." and Hans holds his gun in one hand then puts it on the table and Ellis says, "Hey, what am I, a method actor? Babe, put away the gun. This is radio, not television." and John says "Hans, this asshole is not my friend! I just met him tonight! I don't know him! Jesus Christ, Ellis! These people will kill you! Tell them you don't know me!" and Ellis laughs and then Ellis says "How can you say that after all these years? John? John?" and Hans picks up his gun and Ellis chugs his Coke out of fear and then John hears gunshots over the walkie talkie signaling that Ellis is dead and the hostages are screaming as they see Ellis shot and Hans walks out holding the walkie talkie to the screaming hostages and Hans says, "Do you hear that? Talk to me! Where are my detonators? Where are they, or shall I shoot another one. Sooner or later I might get to someone you do care about." and John has the greatest replies "GO fuck yourself, Hans." and Dwayne says to Al Powell, "He just let the guy die. He just gave him up. Give me that headset. That's like pulling the trigger yourself." and Al Powell says, "Can't you see what's happening? Can't you read between the lines? He did everything he could to save him. If he gave up they'd both be dead right now!" and Dwayne says, "No way, man. They'd be talking to us. You tell this partner of yours to stay out of this from now on. Because if he doesn't, I'm really going to nail his ass." and Al Powell says "The man is hurting. He is alone, tired, and he hasn't seen diddly-squat from anybody here!" and I love this quote because it shows how much Powell cares for him and Powell says, "You're gonna tell me he'll give a damn about what you do to him if he makes it out of there alive? Why don't you wake up and smell what you're shoveling?" and Dwayne says, "You listen to me, sergeant. Any time you want to go home, you consider yourself dismissed." and Powell, says, "No, sir. You couldn't drag me away." and Hans voice is heard over CB radio "Attention, police." and Dwayne has someone record this message and Hans says "Attention, police." and Powell says, "This is Sargant Al Powell..." and Dwayne cuts him off "Give me that. This is Deputy Chief Dwayne Robinson. Who is this?" and Hans says, "This is Hans Gruber. I assume you realize the futility of direct actions against me. We have no wish for further loss of life." and Dwayne replies "What is it you wish for?" and Hans says, "I have comrades in arms around the world languishing in prison. The American State Department enjoys rattling its saber for its own ends. Now it can rattle for me. The following people are to be released from their captors. In Northern Ireland the seven members of the New Provo Front. In Canada, the five imprisoned leaders of Liberté de Qubec." and we see John listens in and Hans says "In Sri Lanks, the nine members of the Asian Dawn." and John says in confusion "What the fuck?" and Karl mouths "Asian Dawn?" and Hans says, "I read about them in Time magazine." and Hans continues "When these revolutionary brothers and sisters are free, the hostages in this building will be taken to the roof and they will accompany us in helicopters to the Los Angeles International Airport where they will be given further instructions. You have two hours to comply." and Dwayne says, "Wait a minute. Uh, Mr. Gruber. This is crazy. I don't have the authority. Two hours is not enough." and we hear it turn on and Dwayne says, "Hello? Hello!" and Dwayne says "Did you get all that? We need to make some calls." and Karl asks, "Do you think they'll even try?" and Hans says, "Who cares?" and Hans says to Theo, "Theo, are we on schedule?" and Theo says "One more to go, then it's up to you. You better be right because the last one will take a miracle." and Hans says "It's Christmas, Theo. It's the time of miracles, so be of good cheer and call back when you hit the last lock." and I burst out laughing because the timing was perfect and Hans says, "Karl, hunt the little shit down and get those detonators." Karl says, "Fritz is checking the explosives." and Hans says, "I'll check the explosives. You just get the detonator." John says "Hey Powell, you out there?" and Powell says, " I'm here, John. I'm here." and John says, "You gotta believe me. There was nothing I could do." and Powell says, "Well, it's gonna be both our asses if your wrong." and John says, "I hear you." and John gets up and lights a cigarette and John says, "Did you catch that bullshit Hans was running? It doesn't make sense, man." and Powell says, "Hey don't ask me, man. I'm just a desk jockey who was on my way home when you rang." and John says "The way you drove that car I figured you for the street, Al." and Al says "In my youth. In my youth." and back with the news "...author of "Hostage Terrorist, Terrorist Hostage, A Study in Duality." Dr Hasseldorf, what can we expect in the next few hours?" and Hasseldorf says "Well Gail by this time the hostages should be going through the early stages of the Helsinki Syndrom." and Harvey says "As in Helsinki, Sweden." and Sam face palms and Hasseldorf says "Finland" and Im like "Oh my fucking go you humiliated yourself on live TV and Harvey is regretting his answer and Hasseldorf says, "Basically its when the hostages and the terrorists go through a sort of psychological transference and a projection of dependency." Meanwhile someone is dragging Ellis body as Hasseldorf says on the radio "A strange sort of trust and bond develops. Weve had situations where the hostages have embraced their captors after release and even corresponded with them in prison." and Dwayne says, "No no darling. Asian Dawn. Dawn. D-A-W-N." and a police officer says, "Sir?" and Dwayne says, "Yeah?" and he says, "Sir the FBI is here." and Dwayne says "The FBI is here now?" and he says, "Yes sir. Right over there." and Dwayne says "Hold this." and Dwayne tidies himself up and Powell says, "Want a breath mint?" and Dwayne greets the FBI agents "Hey, how you doing man?" and the FBI agent says, "Im Agent Johnson. This is Special Agent Johnson." and Dwayne greets Special Agent Johnson "Oh, how you doing?" and Agent Johnson says "No relation" and Dwyane says, "I'm uh... I'm Dwayne Robinson LAPD. I'm in charge here." and Special Agent Johnson says, "Not anymore." As Hans checks on the explosives and he leaves his gun behind and goes between two containers and he sees the wires are cut and jumps down in front of someone with barefoot and he looks up and there is John with his gun aimed at Hans and Im like "Holy fucking shit." and John says "HI there. How you doing?" and Hans says, "Ohh... Please God. No. You're one of them aren't you? You're one of them. No! Don't kill me! Please! Don't kill me please! Please please please." and John says "Whoa. Relax. I'm not gonna hurt you. I'm not gonna hurt you!" and I was so confused because I didn't know what the fuck was going on why wasn't he shooting Hans and why wont John hurt him and my dad explained "They only ever spoke over the phone so this is their first time meeting face to face." and Hans calms down and says, "Oh God." and John looks around and then says "What the fuck are you doing up here? What were you looking for?" and Hans says "I managed to get out of there and I was just trying to get up on the roof and see if I could signal for help." He points to the area he jumped from and says, "It's just over here. Why don't you come and help?" and John says, "Hold it. Forget the roof." and Hans signals John to come in and we see Hans is trying to get John close so Hans can grab his gun and John says, "I said forget the roof. They got people all over it. You want to stay alive you stay with me." and Hans follows him and Dwayne says to the FBI agents "The best we can figure it, weve got maybe 30 or 35 hostages up there probably on the 30th floor and maybe seven or eight terrorists up there." and Special Agent Johnson says "Sounds like a A-7 scenario." and Agent Johnson says "Thank you. Well handle it from here. When we commandeer your men well try and let you know." and Al Powell says "Aren't you forgetting something?" and Special Agent Johnson says "Such as?" and Al Powell says "What about John McClane? He's the reason we have any information. He's also the reason your facing seven terrorists not twelve." and Agent Johnson says "He's inside Who is he?" and Dwayne says "He might be a cop. Were checking on that." and Special Agent Johnson asks "One of yours?" and Dwayne says "No no way." and we cut to John offering Hans a cigarette and John asks "You smoke?" and Hans says "Yeah." and John takes a cigarette and gives the last one to Hans and Hans says "Thanks." and Hans says "You don't work for Nakatomi." and John lights both of their cigarettes and Hans says "And if you're not one of the..." and John says "Im a cop from New York." and Hans says "New York?" and John says "Yeah. Got invited to the Christmas party by mistake. Who knew?" and Hans chuckles and Hans sees John is barefoot and John says "Better than being caught with your pants down huh?" and they both start laughing and John looks at the Floor Directory and John says "I'm John McClane. You're uh..." and Hans says, "Clay. Bill Clay." and we see he stole the name of the Floor Directory and John pulls out his gun and John says "Know how to use a handgun Bill?" and John loads the gun as Hans says "I spent a weekend at a combat ranch." That game with the guns that shoot red paint. Probably seems kind of stupid to you." and John says "Nope." and Then John hands his gun to Hans and I said "What the fuck are you thinking" and "Please don't fucking do this" and "This is the worst god damn decision you ever made." When John hands his gun to Hans John says "Time for the real thing, Bill." and Hans takes his gun and I am still in shock and when Hans takes the gun John says "All you got to do is pull the trigger. Come on." and we see John walking away and Hans speaking German into his Walkie Talkie and when he hears the gun click he know that its actually Hans and he takes out his cigarette and turns around and Hans says "Put down the gun and give me the detonators." and John is amazed and then John says "Well, well, well... Hans" and Hans says "Put it down now." and John says "That's pretty tricky with that accent. You oughta be on fucking TV with that accent." and John walks closer and he says "But what do you want with the detonators? I already used all the explosives. Or did I?" and Hans says "Im going to count to three." and John says "Yeah. Like you did with Takagi?" Then Hans pulls the trigger and the gun clicks, proving that the gun was empty when he handed it to him and John says "Oops." and Hans keeps pulling the trigger and John says "No bullets. What do you think... Im fucking stupid, Hans?" and the elevator dings and I'm like "Oh shit" and John turns to Hans and Hans says "You were saying?" and we see a bunch of men come out of the elevator and John runs and shooting at them and Karl fires at John as he runs and John takes cover under a desk and John shoots at someone's leg and they fly through a window and everyone takes cover and Karl also takes cover behind a desk and when Karl peeks out John shooting at him and Hans peeks out and sees the windows behind him and Karl peeks above the desk but keeps getting shot at and Hans realizes John is barefoot and Hans says "Karl." and Karl looks at Hans and he speaks something in German and Karl is confused and then Hans says "Shoot the glass!" and both Karl and Hans shooting at the glass and when I realized what they were doing I was like "That must be so fucking Painful for him." and both Karl and Hans shoot at every single piece of glass and John says "Jesus Christ!" and John sees the exit, but he also sees he must walk over glass and Karl slides a sort of bomb and John has disappeared and Karl is angry, but Hans finds the detonators John is gone and Hans says "Smile, Karl. Were back in business." and Karl is pissed off and at the news station Hasseldorf says "... in the last resort of diplomacy, then couldn't we just as well say that terrorism has an equal claim on being that, too?" and one of the news reporter holds a folder in front of the TV and Richard says "Tell me you got something." and the news reporter says "McClane's name, badge number, employment record, vital statistics, and his family's house address right here in L.A." and Richard says "Whoo!" and the elevator dings and Hans hands a bag to a man and Hans says "Go to work." and he says "Got it." and Karl throws a fit and the pregnant woman says "God, that man looks really pissed." and Holly says "Hes still alive." and the pregnant woman says "What?" and Holly says "Only John can drive somebody that crazy." and we see John fall into a bathroom door and we see a trail of blood leading to the bathroom doorway and Theo says "Hans, you better heat up that miracle because we just broke through on number six and the electromagnetic came down like a fucking anvil." and Hans says "Have a look at what our friends outside are doing and ill be right up." and John cleans up his bloody foot when Al Powell calls in "Hey, John. John McClane, you still with us?" and John says, "Yeah. But all things being equal, Id rather be in Philadelphia. Chalk up two more bad guys." and Al Powell says "The boys down here will be glad to hear that. We got a pool going on you." and John asks "What kind of odds am I getting?" and John pulls the glass out of his feet when Al Powell says "You don't want to know." and John says "Put me down for 20. I'm good for it." and Al Powell and I both laugh and John says "Hey, pal, you got flat feet? and Al Powell is confused and Al Powell asks "What the hell are you talking about, man?" and John says "Something had to get you off the street." and Al Powell says "What's the matter? You don't think joceyeing papers across a desk is a noble effort for a cop?" and John says "No." and Al Powell says "I had an accident." and John says "The way you drive, I can see why. What'd you do? Runover your captain's foot with the car?" and Al Powel says "I shot a kid. He was 13 years old. Oh, it was dark. I couldn't see him. He had rey gun, looked real enough." and Al Powell says something that all rookie police officers should be taught "When you're a rookie, they teach you everything about being a cop except how to live with a mistake." and John sighs knowing this was hard for him and Al Powell says "Anyway, I just couldn't bring myself to draw my gun on anybody again." and John says "Sorry, man." and Al Powell says "Hey, man, how could you know?" and John says "I feel like shit anyway." and Al Powell says "Well, then, this won't matter. The LAPD is not calling the shots down here anymore." and John says "The Feds?" and Al Powell says "You got it." and Theo says "Those are the city engineers. They're going into the street circuits. Those guys in the suits I dot know who they are." and Hans says "That's the FBI. They're ordering the others to cut the building's power. Regular as clockwork." and it clicks in Theo's head, "Or a time lock." and Hans says "Precisely. The circuits that cannot be cut are cut automatically in response to a terrorist incident. You asked for a miracle. Theo. I give you the F-B-I." and Special Agent Johnson says "I want the building shut down." and the city engineers in the sewer says "I got a problem. I got a switch..." and Special Agent Johnson cuts him off "I don't care about your switch. I want it out. Dark!" and Special Agent Johnson and the city engineer argue and One City engineer says "You can't do it from here." and the city engineer in the sewer says "Yeah you could." and the other city engineer says "It can't be done from here." and the city engineer in the sewer says "I could just... I got the radio." and the other city engineer says, "You can't do it from here. It's got to be done from downtown. They've gotta take out a whole city grid. We're talking 10 square blocks." and Dwayne says, "Ten blocks? Johnson that's crazy. It's Christmas Eve. There's thousands of people." and Agent Johnson says "You have to go wider." and the city engineer says "I need authorization." and Special Agent Johnson says "How about the United States government?" and I'm like "I hate these type of people where they abuse their power and there is a lot of that going in our world and I just hope my uncles aren't one of them because I have police officers related to me in a way and I swear if I hear they become one of these racist pigs I will fly down to them and beat them up regardless of their status in the police force." and Special Agent Johnson says to the city engineer in the sewer "Lose the grid, or you lose your job." and the city engineer brings up his radio and he says "Yeah Central?" and Central responds "Yeah? and Walt says, "This is Walt down at Nakatomi. Would it be possible for you to turn off grid 212?" and Dispatch says "Are you crazy?" and Dwayne says "Maybe I should call the Mayor." and The City Engineer says "No shit its my ass. I got a big problem here. Shut it down now." The lights in Nakatomi Plaza turn off and a voice says "Emergency lighting activated." and John says "Al, talk to me. What's going on here?" and Al Powell says, "Ask the FBI. They got the universal terrorist playbook and they're running it step by step." and Theo says "Its gonna go. Its gonna go!" and we hear the vault and Theo says "Yes!" and We watch as the vault opens up revealing all the money and when Theo says "Merry Christmas" I burst out laughing because of the timing of Ode to Joy playing in the background and of course the timing of Theo saying "Merry Christmas." and the FBI agents say "They must be pissing in their pants." and Dwayne says "The Mayor is gonna have my ass." and we see Theo and Hans inside the vault looking around and happy as ever and I burst out laughing because of how wrong the FBI agents are and We see the News Car driving away from Nakatomi Plaza and Al Powell asks "What are you gonna do now? Arrest them for not paying their electric bill?" and Agent Johnson sasy "We've shut them down. We let them sweat for a while, then we give them helicopters." and Special Agent Johnson says "Right up the ass." and Special Agent Johnson calls in the helicopters "This is Agent Johnson. No, the other one. I want that air support ready to lift off in five minutes. Damn right. Fully armed. Were on the way." and Theo is flipping through money and Theo is excited and Theo says "Oh, yes!" and Theo looks at Hans and Hans turns around and says into his walkie talkie "I wish to talk to the FBI." and Agent Johnson hands a CB Radio to Special Agent Johnson and Special Agent Johnson says "This is Special Agent Johnson. The State Department has arranged for the return of your comrades. Helicopters are en route as you requested." and Hans says "I hear you. We'll be ready." and Special Agent Johnson says "By the time he figures out what hit him, he'll be in a body bag." and Hans says "When they touch down, we'll blow the roof. They'll spend a month sifting through the rubble. By the time they figure out what went wrong, we'll be sitting on a beach earning 20%." and I burst out laughing because they both have different plans" and as John placed one foot on newspaper, he put his second foot down it's all wrapped up. John tried to walk and almost fell. "Ah! Jeez! and calls in Al Powell "Powell? Yo, Powell, you got a minute" and Powell responds "I'm here, John." and John looks around and then he says "Listen, I'm starting to get a bad feeling up here. I want you to do something for me. Um... ahem... I want you to find my wife. Don't ask me how. By then you'll know how. Uh, I want you to tell her something. I want you to tell her that... Tell her it took me a while to figure out what a jerk I've been but, um... that... that when things started to pan out for her I should have been more supportive. And, uh... I just should have been behind her more. Oh, shit. Tell her that, um that she's the best thing that ever happened to a bum like me. She's heard me says "I love you" a thousand times. She never heard me say I'm sorry. I want you to tell her that, Al. Tell her that John said that he was sorry. OK? You got that, man?" and Al Powell says "Yeah, I got it, John. But you can tell her that yourself. You just watch your ass and you'll make it out. You hear me?" and John says "I guess that's up to the man upstairs." and John looks around and Al Powell says "John? John?" and then John says "What the fuck were you doing upstairs, Hans?" and Al Powell says "John?" and John says "No, Al, listen. Just lay off for a while. I gotta go check on something." and Al Powell is confused and we cut to Paulina aka the caretaker of McClane's children and Richard says "One minute, that's all I'm asking. One minute to speak to them." and we see the cameramen are here and Richard says "All right. Get back. Get back." and the news team goes back and Richard says "All right, look. You let me in now, or I call INS, comprende?" and I'm like "this guy is a fucking asshole and I hope he fucking dies" and Richard says "This is the last time these kids are gonna have to speak to their parents. All right?" and she agrees and Richard says "All right. Come on. Come on." and we cut to John walking around where he found Hans and John says "What were you doing, Hans?" and he goes between the cracks on the two containers and John says "What were you doing?" and John looks up at the yellow wire and he climbs up and he sees all of the explosives and then John says "Jesus, Mary, mother of God." and John looks up and John drops to the ground and says "Al, listen to me! It's a double cross! The roof is wired to..." and John is cut off by a gun being pointed into his cheek and it's revealed to be Karl and Al Powell says "John?" and Karl takes the gun from John and throws it when Al Powell says "John!" and I'm like "Holy shit its the fucking final showdown" and Al Powell says "John, come in! Did you get that?" and the police officer next to him says "Something about a double-cross." and we all know its the FBI agents and Al Powell says "Tell me about it." and we see the helicopters flying and back with John with a gun at his cheek and Karl takes his walkie talkie and Karl says "We are both professionals." and Karl crushes his walkie talkie and says "This is personal." and John says "Aww..." before turning around and knocking the gun out of his hand and punches him and then John pushes Karl into barrels and John punches the shit out of him until Karl finally gets a punch on John and then kicks his head and Eddie sees the helicopters approaching and he says "They're coming!" and Eddie says to Hans "Choppers are coming." and Hans gets up and says "Time to gather your flock, Miss Gennero." and Richard's voice says "Your mom and dad are very important people." and Holly looks over as Richard says "They're very brave people. Is there something youd like to say to them, if they're watching?" and Hans looks over at the TV as one of Holly's children say "Come home." and Holly is in shock and Hans looks over Holly and he flips up the family picture with John McClane and I'm jumping up and down screaming "Holy fucking shit, holy fucking shit, holy fucking shit. He fucking knows." and He looks back over at Holly and says "Mrs McClane. How nice to make your acquaintance." and He pulls his gun from his suit and Hans bolts out and fires off his gun into the ceiling and he says "On your feet, everyone! To the roof! Lock them up there and come right back." and Holly tries to make a run for it but Hans grabs her by the arm and Holly is scared and back with John and Karl and John is on the floor looking like shit and John tries to get up and Karl knocks him back down and John sees his gun and Karl kicks his face and John tries to get up again but Karl kicks him down and John finally gets the upper hand and bashes his head into pipes and John says "You should have heard your brother squeal when I broke his fucking neck!" and Im like "Holy fucking shit know thats how to piss someone off." and we see the helicopters flying in and Agent Johnson says "What do you figure the breakage?" and Special Agent Johnson says "I figure we take out the terrorists, lose 20, 25% of the hostages, tops." and Agent Johnson says "I can live with that." and Special Agent Johnson says "Get this thing on the deck. They're expecting transports, not gun ships." and we see the Helicopters fly through the city and the terrorist who was eating candy says "Move it! Come on! Move! Come on! Come on! Move it! Go! Move!" as he is pushing them up the stairs to the roof and we cut to Theo as he is loads up the money when Hans walks in with Holly and he says Theo. A little bonus for us. Please, sit down. Sit down!" and Hans pushes Holly down to the floor and Hans says "A policeman's wife might come in handy." and Hans says into the Walkie Talkie "McClane, I have some news for you." and John doesn't respond and Hans says "McClane?" and we cut to Karl and John kicks Karl near the gun and John takes cover but before he can fully escape Karl shoots him in the shoulder before he can fully escape and shuts the door and The terrorist with candy is pushing the hostages up the stairs and we see most of them on the roof and Karl kicks down the door John went through and John throws something at Karl and then John jumps Karl and John pins him down Karl and he says "Motherfucker! Ill kill you!" and Theo sets up the detonations to the roof and Theo says "Armed." and Theo says to Hans "The Truck?" and Hans says "The Truck." and Theo runs off" and Holly sees Hans loading money into bags and then Holly says "After all your posturing, all your little speeches, you're nothing but a common thief." and I'm like "this fucking pissed him off" and Hans is pissed the fuck off and Hans gets close in Holly's face "I am an exceptional , Mrs McClane. And since I'm moving up to kidnapping, you should be more polite" and Hans goes back to his work and we see Karl kicking John and John slowly goes up the stairs "You motherfucker, I'm gonna kill you! I'm gonna fuckin' cook you, and I'm gonna eat you!" and at the top of the stairs Karl is pushing John's head and he sees Chains and John takes those chains and wraps them around Karl's neck and he throws him off the railing with Karl being hanged by chains and I'm like "Holy fucking shit" and Karl hits the wall and then John grabs his gun and we get a close up of Karl's hanging body and Dwayne says to Al Powell "I don't like this, Sarge." and we cut to the helicopters fly in as Special Agent Johnson says "Yee-hah! just like fucking Saigon, eh, Slick?" and Agent Johnson says "I was in junior high, dickhead." and The terrorist with candy once all of the hostages are up there he goes back down the stairs but when he opens the door he shot by John as John climbs the stairs to the roof and he asks the hostages "Where's Holly? Where's Holly Gennero? Holly Gennero? Where Holly?" Where's Holly? Where is she?" and one of the hostages says "They took her!" and says "Where?" and the hostage says "The vault!" and I'm like "Holy fucking shit he knows." and John says "Where is the vault?" and the hostage says "The 30th floor! They just took her!" and the hostages see the helicopter and then John says "Get downstairs! The whole fucking roof is wired to blow! Get down! Get down! Get the fuck downstairs!" and the hostages either cant hear him or dont understand and so to get their attention John shoots into the air and everyone screams for their life and someone on the helicopter says "They made us, Bureau. Terrorist shooting hostages." and Special Agent Johnson says "Break left!" and we see John shooting into the air guiding them to the exit and Special Agent Johnson says "Nail that sucker!" and while John shoots into the air the Helicopter starts shooting at him and John sees this and makes a run for it and he jumps landing on a platform and he says "I'm on your side, you asshole!" and Special Agent Johnson says "Swing around again! I'll bag this little basterd" and the helicopter turns around and we see the Hostages running down the stairs past Karl's body and John gets up and opens a container with a Fire Hose and he unrolls The Fire Hose and John says "What the fuck..." and John ties the rope around his body as he says "Oh, John, what the fuck are you doing? how the fuck did you get into this shit?" and Eddie sees the Hostages escaping and Eddie says to Hans "There's something wrong! They're coming back down!" and Hans says "Blow the roof." and Eddie says "But Karl's up there!" and Hans says "Blow the roof" and Hans takes the denotator and the helicopter circles around and John is about to jump off the building and John says to himself "I promise I will never even think about going up in a tall building again." and we see John as he looks down and I'm like "Holy fucking shit." and John says "Oh, God, please don't let me die!" and we see the helicopter behind John and Special Agent Johnson aims at John and then John jumps as Hans presses the button and off go the explosions and this is a beautiful shot with the explosions in the background and John jumping and John is hanging down and the wheel gets loos lowering him down and John tries to kick in the window but it doesn't work so he takes out his gun and John shoots the window and John goes through the broken indow but the wheel holding the fire hose falls pulling John with him but manages to get it off and the hostages are going down the stairs and Hans hands a bag of money to someone and John dives in the pond and we see the Helicopter falling and then it explodes so John dives into the pond and Dwayne says "Holy Christ! We're gonna need somemore FBI guys, I guess." and John gets out of the pond and the sprinklers turn on and the elevator dings but is cut by a big explosion and John says "Jesus fucking Christ! Fuck!" and John goes up the stairs and Argyle sees Theo get into the back of the Truck and drive out in an Ambulance and Argyle says "What the fuck is going on?" and John searches around and then he hears Hollys voice say "What are you gonna do? Sit here while the building falls down?" and he checks his ammo and John says "Shit!" and Hans picks up Holly up and Holly says "All right! Hey! Hey!" and he loads his guns "Hang on, baby. Oh, God." and John takes out his bullets turns out he only has 2 bullets and both me and my dad are like "You have to make it count" and John sees wrapping tape and Argyle drives closer to the truck and Argyle rams his limo into the Ambulance and then Argyle gets out and punches Theo and one man runs off and John knocks him out making him drop the money and John says "Hans" and I fucking love this shot of John with John standing out and the backlighting and sparks raining down, the low angle camera, and his silhouette with the back lighting shining on his back and Hans pulls out his gun and puts it to Hollys head and then John starts limping towards him and Holly sees John in his condition and Holly says "Jesus." and then John says "Hi, honey" and Hans starts moves back as John is moving forward and then when John finally steps into the light and he sees the money and he says "So that's what this is all about? A fucking robbery?" and Hans says "Put the gun down." and then John asks "Why'd you have to nuke the building, Hans?" and Hans responds "Well, when you steal $600, you can just disappear." and then John says "When you steal 600 million, they will find you unless they think you're already dead." and then Hans says "Put down the gun." and John is trying to decide and he notices Hans press the gun harder against Hollys head and then John drops his gun and Eddie pulls out his gun and Hans says "Nein. This is mine." and then John puts his hands behind his head and then John says "You got me" and Hans says "Still the cowboy, Mr McClane. Americans... all alike. This time, John Wayne does not walk off into the sunset with Grace Kelly." and then John responds "That was Gary Cooper, asshole." and then Hans says "Enough jokes." and John says "You'd have made a pretty good cowboy yourself, Hans." and Hans says "Oh, yes. What was it you said before?" and then Hans says "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker." and I burst out laughing cause its so weird for the villian to say the hero's one liners and then John starts laughing and then everybody starts laughing too and we see John has his handgun on his back with the wrapping tape holding it and I'm like "Holy fucking shit that's smart." and Hans points the gun at John and then John says "Holly!" and John grabs the gun on his back and Holly gets out of the way and John shoots both Hans and Eddie and then John says "Happy trails, Hans." and Hans fells through the window behind him clinging to Holly and Holly says "Aah!" and John says "Holly." grabing her and Dwayne sees this and Hans is holding onto the watch and John is unhooking the watch and we see as Hans looks up to see John and Hans starts to point the gun at John but unlatches the watch and we watch Hans reaction as he falls and that scene of Hans falling is a brilliant scene and Dwayne says "I hopes that's not a hostage" and we watch as Hans falls crashing into the ground and then John and Holly reunite hugging each other and then kissing and we get a full scene of what happened on the ground it looks like a shitstorm and the news truck pulls back up and Everyone comes out of the truck and watch as John and Holly leave the building and they finally made it out of the explosions, gunshots, etc. and the firefighters help them out and then John sees Al Powell and IM like "Oh my fucking god I cant fucking believe it and this is a going to be a much better reunion than the one between Holly and John." and I almost started to cry when John and Al Powell hug each other started crying and when they hugged each other I thought I could die peacefully and my heart was filled with happiness and then John says "This is my wife Holly. Holly Gennero." and then Holly says "Holly McClane." and Al Powell says "Hello, Holly. You got yourself a good man. You take good care of him." and Dwayne says "McClane! McClane, I want a debriefing!" and I'm like "Oh fuck." and Dwayne says "You got some things to answer for, mister. Ellis' murder, for one thing. Property damage, interfering with police business." and then everyone starts screaming and John turns around to see Karl still alive and I'm like "How the fuck is this guy still alive I thought John hung him with chains and John ducks down with Holly and Karl aims at him but Karl gets shot and Im like "Oh thank god John had his gun" and then I see Al Powell is one who shot him and Im like "Well I guess he overcome his fears so here are cheers to Al Powell overcoming his fear." and John sees this and we see Al Powell is scared and Argyle's limo breaks through the fence holding him in and Al Powell aims at him and John says "No. This ones with me." and Al Powell lowers his gun and John and Holly are walking towards the Limo and Argyle drives up and Richard says "Mr McClane, Mr McClane! Now that it's all over, after this incredible ordeal, what are your feelings?" and Holly punches Richard in the face and I burst out laughing and say "you fucking go girl and he fucking deserved that." and John says to Argyle "Well, well, well. Merry Christmas, Argyle." and Argyle says "Merry Christmas." and John and Argyle get in the limo and the camera zooms in on Richard and Richard says "Did you get that?" and Argyle closes the door and then he says while going to the driver seat "If this is your idea of Christmas, I gotta be here for New Years." and I burst out laughing and John and Holly kiss each other as they drive off.
