Michael MacCauley
[edit]- Hey, Goldman Sachs. On behalf of the American middle class, fuck you.
- [seeing Joanna reading "The Count of Monte Cristo"] "What makes a man is what he does when the storm comes." Alexandre Dumas. Read that one a few years back. It's got a hell of an ending. This seat taken? The 6:20 every morning to Chicago. The 5:30 home. You know, I never took your for a commuter.
- [repeated line] What's in the bag?
Joanna
[edit]- What if someone asked you to do one little thing but would affect another passenger on this train? Would you do it?
- [on the phone to Michael] You had your chance, now EVERYONE dies!
Dialogue
[edit]- Sofia: Ricky was a city planner, and some nights he would have to work late, so I-I would go to his office to finish my homework. I was waiting for Ricky by the elevator when these two men show up. I didn't see their faces, but they were looking for Ricky. I hid 'cause I didn't wanna get him in trouble. But they wanted something from him. Then all of them start yelling, and I hear this noise. They were hurting him. I could hear him screaming. And he tells them that he doesn't have it, that it's back at his place.
- Michael MacCauley: You took it.
- Sofia: Of course I took it. I wanted to help. And then I look through the doorway and I see this guy. He's holding Ricky, and he hits him, and he says something about being noble.
- Michael MacCauley: Noble?
- Sofia: He says that doing the right thing will get you killed, and that there's no such thing as being noble. And then, they just... I didn't... I didn't know what to do. I...
- Michael MacCauley: I know.
- Sofia: I just took it, and... and I ran.
- Michael MacCauley: Why didn't you call the police?
- Sofia: I couldn't call the police. The men who killed him were cops.
- Alex Murphy: Mike, I get it. You wanna do the noble thing here. But I got news for you. There ain't no such thing as noble.
- Michael MacCauley: [glancing at Prynne] It was you.
- Alex Murphy: What are you talking about?
- Michael MacCauley: You called me. You knew about the witness. You... you knew what they saw.
- Alex Murphy: Yeah, I told you what happened.
- Michael MacCauley: It was a cop who killed him. You set me up.
