[edit] John McClane
- Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker [partially cut in theatrical version]
- [Rand is jumping between walls in the cooling column] Damn hamster!
- Hold still, spider-boy!
- I'm going to go get my daughter and kill this guy.
- That's gonna wake the neighbours.
- Just another day in paradise.
- Yeah I just saw it. I did it.
- All right, thats enough of this kung-fu shit!
- [mocking his boss] "Can't be a uniform John!" [to bystander] Get over to a wall sir!, [continues mocking] "Feds called in a favor! All you got to do is go pick up a kid (groans) in Jersey and drive him down to D.C." How hard can that be, Huh? Can't be that hard, No, can it? No, gotta be a senior detective!
- Thing like a traffic jam, throwing a car at me's gonna stop me?
- I know I'm not as smart as you guys at all this computer shit. But, hey... I'm still alive, ain't I? I mean, you've GOT to be running out of bad guys by now, right? Huh? Gabriel? Honestly, you can tell me. I mean, how does that work? Got some kind of service or something? Some kind of 800 number? 1-800-HENCHMEN? Oh, you know what? I bet you're still on hold with, "Can I get another dead Asian hooker bitch over here right away?"
- Do you know what you get for being a hero? Nothing! You get shot at. Pat on the back, blah blah blah. That a boy! You get divorced... Your wife can't remember your last name, kids don't want to talk to you... You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me kid, nobody wants to be that guy. [I do this] because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so [I'm] doing it. That's what makes you that guy."
- Oh, this is a bad fuckin' idea.
- [Climbing the SUV] Let's just talk about this for one second [Mai punches him]
- [choking Mai with chains] There, that's not too tight is it?
- Command center? [laughs] It's a basement!
[edit] Thomas Gabriel
- [to Farrell] We are leaving in three minutes. You have one.
- [to Trey] Don't ever hesitate like that again.
- [to McClane] I'm doing the Country a favour... But the question is, is the Country willing to pay for it?
- [to McClane] What's the matter - cat got your tongue?
- [after discovering that the Warlock was hacking into his network] Fat bastard.
- [Last Words] On your tombstone, it should say "Always at the wrong place at the wrong time."
- [to McClane] You have no idea of what can I do, and what am I capable of.
[edit] The Warlock
- Why'd you bring a cop into my command center?
- Thomas Gabriel's the guy who shut down NORAD with a laptop just to prove a point, and you think I'm scared of you?

- John McClane: How about... [grunts] Yippee-ki-yay... motherfucker?! [grabs the gun and fires it through himself and into Gabriel]
- John McClane: Ah, bullshit! It's always about the money!
