Snake Plissken

Bob Hauk: You go in, find the President, bring him out in 24 hours, and you're a free man.

Snake Plissken: 24 hours, huh?

Bob Hauk: I'm making you an offer.

Snake Plissken: Bullshit!

Bob Hauk: Straight just like I said.

Snake Plissken: I'll think about it.

Bob Hauk: No time. Give me an answer.

Snake Plissken: Get a new president!

Bob Hauk: We're still at war, Plissken. We need him alive.

Snake Plissken: I don't give a fuck about your war... or your president.

Bob Hauk: Is that your answer?

Snake Plissken: I'm thinking about it.

Bob Hauk: Think hard.

Snake Plissken: [pause] Why me?

Bob Hauk: You flew the Gullfire over Leningrad. You know how to get in quiet. You're all I got.

Snake Plissken: [pause] I guess I go in one way or the other... doesn't mean shit to me. All right... I'll do it. Give me the pardon paper.

Bob Hauk: When you come out.

Snake Plissken: Before.

Bob Hauk: I told you I wasn't a fool, Plissken.

Snake Plissken: Call me Snake.
