Dan O'Herlihy: The Old Man

RoboCop

The Old Man

The Old Man: How can we help you, officer?
RoboCop: Dick Jones is wanted for murder.
Dick Jones: [Directive 4 starts flashing on RoboCop's status monitor] This is absurd! That thing... is a violent mechanical psychopath!
RoboCop: My program will not allow me to act against an officer of this company.
The Old Man: These are serious charges. What is your evidence?
[RoboCop turns to the wall and inserts his data spike into the wall socket, a video starts to play]
Dick Jones: [from video playback] I had to kill Bob Morton because he made a mistake. Now it's time to erase that mistake. I had to kill Bob Morton because he made a mistake. Now it's time to erase that mistake.
Dick Jones: [takes a gun and holds it against the Old Man's head, wrapping his arm around his neck] Get up! Get up! I want a chopper, now! We will walk to the roof very calmly, I will board the chopper with my hostage. Anybody tries to stop me... the old geezer gets it.
The Old Man: Dick, you're fired!
[Directive 4 disappears from RoboCop's status monitor]
RoboCop: Thank you.
[the Old Man jabs Dick Jones from behind with his elbow, and RoboCop starts shooting at Dick Jones, who is no longer an OCP employee; Dick Jones falls through a glass window to the ground below and dies]

[ED-209 has malfunctioned during a demonstration, killing Kinney in the boardroom]
The Old Man: [12:43] Dick, I'm very disappointed.
Dick Jones: I'm sure it's only a glitch, a temporary setback.
The Old Man: [raises his voice in anger] You call this a GLITCH?
[pause]
The Old Man: We're scheduled to begin construction in six months. Your "temporary setback" could cost us fifty million dollars in interest payments alone!

The Old Man: Old Detroit has a cancer. The cancer is crime, and it must be cut out before we employ the two million workers that will breathe life into this city again.

The Old Man: My friends, I've had this dream for more than a decade now, a dream which I've invited you all to share with me.
