Cronenberg		Tell him.

Bob Hauk		That idea you had about turning the Gullfire around 180 degress and flying off to Canada...
Snake Plissken		What did you do to me, asshole?
Bob Hauk		My idea, Plissken. Something we've been fooling around with. Two microscopic capsules lodged in your arteries. They're already starting to dissolve. In 22 hours, the cores will completely dissolve. Inside the cores are a heat-sensing charge. Not a small explosion, about the size of a pinhead, just big enough to open up both of your arteries. I'd say you'd be dead in 10-15 seconds...
Snake Plissken		[chokes Hauk] Take 'em out, now!
Cronenberg		They're protected by the cores! Fifteen minutes before the last hour is up, we can neutralize the charge with X-rays!
Bob Hauk		We'll burn out the charges IF you have the President.
Snake Plissken		What if I'm a little late?

The President		Of course... Yes?
Snake Plissken		We did get you out. But a lot of people died in the process. I just wondered how you felt about it.
The President		[cocky, distant tone] Well, I... I wanna thank them. This nation appreciates their sacrifice. Look, I'm on in... two minutes?
Snake Plissken		[throws cigarette down, shaking his head with disgust, Snake walks away]
