Quotes 

• Cathy Palmer : What you are feeling right now is the barrel of 357 combat magnum. This weapon can fell an elephant at a hundred yards, let alone a snake like you, at point blank... HAH!

• Cathy Palmer : Does this thing have any pockets in it?

  Alan McMann : Yes, and until now, no rips.

• Cathy Palmer : ...so she disappears beneath the surface of the icy water... what happens next?

  Alan McMann : You know what happened next.

  Cathy Palmer : Yes, but we can't tell them that!

  Alan McMann : Alright. How about, he doesn't want to work anymore, so he carries her off to a turret, high in his castle, and makes mad, passionate love to her.

  [He kisses her] 

  Cathy Palmer : [a pause]  End of chapter!

• Cathy Palmer : [Striking an akido pose]  Hah! You're lucky you're still alive.

  Alan McMann : I'm on a streak.

• Cathy Palmer : What happened to your nose?

  Alan McMann : My nose? Oh... someone just tried to kill me.

  Cathy Palmer : They will stop at nothing to keep us from getting on that train.

• Alan McMann : Don't you understand, I am trying to help you.

  Cathy Palmer : I know you're eager to help Dimitri; but this is no time to play the hero.

  [she runs off] 

  Alan McMann : I am not playing the hero.

  [running after her] 

  Alan McMann : You are playing the goddamn...

  [his voice trails off]
