[edit] Dialogue from the film

Zeus Carver: Good morning.
John McClane: Good morning.
Zeus Carver: You having a nice day, sir? You feeling all right? Not to get too personal, but a white man standing in the middle of Harlem with a sign that says "I hate niggers" has either some serious personal issues, or not all his dogs are barking. (McClane yawns) Hey, I'm talking to you! You've got about three seconds before those guys over their see you, and when they do, they will kill you, understand? You are going to have a very bad day.
John McClane: Tell me about it.

[A black gang has seen McClane with the "I hate niggers" sign and is surrounding him and Zeus]
Black Man: Hey, Zeus. Is he a friend of yours?
Zeus: He look like a friend of mine? I think this dude has just escaped from some hospital. You know, like Bellevue?

[McClane and Zeus escape the black gang in a taxi cab]
John McClane: How deep is it cut?
Zeus: How the hell would I know?
John McClane: Just keep pressure on it. Jésus, right? John McClane. Thanks for covering my ass back there. I owe you one.
Zeus: Damn right, you owe me one! Do you know what those guys are doing to my shop right now?
John McClane: Chill out, Jésus.
Zeus: Chill out? Talk like a white man!
John McClane: Look, Jésus...
Zeus: Why're you calling me "Jésus"? Do I look Puerto Rican to you?
John McClane: The guy back there called you Jésus.
Zeus: No, he said "Hey, Zeus!" My name is Zeus.
John McClane: Zeus?
Zeus: Yes, Zeus! As in Father of Apollo? Mount Olympus? Don't-fuck-with-me-or-I'll-shove-a-lighning-bolt-up-your-ass Zeus! You got a problem with that?
John McClane: No, I don't have a problem.

[McClane and Zeus have just hijacked a taxi]
Zeus: I used to drive a cab. The fastest way to--(yells as McClane speeds off; McClane runs a red light, barely avoiding collision with several cars)
McClane: You were saying?
Zeus: I was saying, I used to drive a cab. The fastest way south is 9th avenue, but we seem to be going east.



John McClane: Hey, can you pick locks?
Zeus: Is this one of those black things again?

John McClane: Listen, you fail, I cover your ass. I fail, you cover my ass.
Zeus: And if we both fail?
John McClane: Then we're both fucked.

[After McClane and Zeus "requisition" of a man's car]
Zeus: Hey, who was the twenty-first President?
Man: Go fuck yourself!

[McClane and Zeus are speeding through Central Park in a taxicab]
Zeus: Are you aiming for these people?
John McClane: No. Maybe that mime.

[McClane opens a truck door and a dead body falls out]
Zeus: What are you doing?
McClane: Interrogating him.
Zeus: And what's he gonna tell you? "I'm dead"?
McClane: Well, I ain't gonna know 'til I ask him now, am I?

McClane: There's gold in the Federal Reserve, and they took a shitload of it! They're heading north in dump trucks!
Cobb: Have you been drinking, McClane?
McClane: No, not since this morning.

FBI agent: Does the name Gruber mean anything to you, Lieutenant?
[Flashback to Hans Gruber falling off the top of Nakatomi Tower]
McClane: It rings a bell, yeah.

McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead. I repeat, Nils is dead, fuckhead. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars. Your boys at the bank, they're gonna be a little late.
Simon Gruber: [on the phone] John. In the back of the truck you're driving, there's 13 billion dollars worth of gold bullion. I wonder, would a deal be out of the question?
McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.
Simon Gruber: [on the phone] How colorful.

Gang member: [pops up] Nicht schiesen!
John McClane: [shoots him twice] What was that?
Mathias Targo: [kicks McClane out from behind] He said "Don't shoot".

Mathias Targo: I see you all day, little man. Policeman... [kicks McClane] ...and you don't go away.
John McClane: Yeah, I'm the fucking Energizer bunny. [stabs him in the leg]

Zeus: Don't fucking move.
Simon: [turns around] Oh, the Samaritan.
Zeus: Gimme the goddamn code.
Simon: Code?
[Realizing what Zeus is talking about]
Simon: Oh, you mean for the school. I'm sorry, I can't do that.
Zeus: You call in that code right now, or I'll blow your sick ass into the next world.
Simon: If that's what you gotta do.
[Zeus pulls the trigger on his gun and nothing happens. Simon takes the gun from Zeus.]
Simon: You forgot to take the safety catch off.
[Shoots Zeus in the leg]
Zeus: Argh! God!
Simon: See, that works. Now, where's McClane?

Simon Gruber: [into radio] Bridgeport coast guard, come in, please. [to McClane] They put you on hold?
John McClane: She told me to stay on the line.
Simon Gruber: [laughing] Oh God, I love this country.
John McClane: You know, your brother was an asshole.
Simon Gruber: [looks up sharply, then laughs] He was an asshole. You got his number.

Zeus: Didn't you say you didn't even like your brother?
Simon Gruber: There's a difference between not liking one's brother, and not caring when some dumb, Irish flatfoot drops him out a window.
Zeus: I haven't even met the motherfucker!

[While tied to a large bomb]
John McClane: Hey fuckhead. Yeah, you, fuckhead. There's just one thing I gotta know. You got any aspirins? 'Cause I've had a bad fucking headache all day long.
Simon Gruber: [laughs and throws him a bottle of aspirin] Must be your lucky day. Keep the bottle.

[The bomb starts beeping]
Zeus: What the fuck is that?
John McClane: I think I made it mad.
