Green
- Mr. Green: Look, I got my rights! This is my home! I just want a little peace and quiet. Now, just do me a favor, willya? Get the hell out of here!
- Lt. Garber: Sorry if we bothered you, Mr. Longman. C'mon, Rico.
- [Mr. Green sneezes]
- Lt. Garber: Gesundheit.
- [beat, then Garber reopens the door, to glare knowingly at Mr. Longman, who, he's now certain is 'Mr. Green']
- Mr. Blue: Will you go back and mind the passengers, please? I do not want Mr. Brown and Mr. Grey left alone with them.
- Mr. Green: Don't you trust them?
- Mr. Blue: I trust Mr. Brown, I do not trust Mr. Grey. I think he's an enormous, arrogant pain in the ass who could turn out to be trouble. I also think that he is mad. Why do you think they threw him out of the Mafia?
- Mr. Green: Oh, terrific.
- Mr. Green: What's your name, motorman?
- Denny Doyle: Uh, Denny Doyle.
- Mr. Green: Ever get written up?
- Denny Doyle: Uh, yes, sir. Once.
- Mr. Green: What for?
- Denny Doyle: Running a red signal. How about you?
- Mr. Green: Twice. Once on the Canarsie...
- Mr. Blue: That's right, Mr. Green. Tell Mr. Doyle all about yourself, will you?
- Denny Doyle: You're still in switching. Why don't you peg it up to series? You're green all the way.
- Mr. Green: Nah, we're in no hurry.
- [Mr. Green sneezes]
- Denny Doyle: Cold sounds pretty bad.
- Mr. Green: I don't know. I woke up in the middle of the night.
- [bright flash followed by a loud 'bang']
- Mr. Green: Sheesh.
- Mr. Blue: What happened?
- Mr. Green: Must have bucked.
- Mr. Blue: You told me you could drive this thing.
- Mr. Green: It wasn't me.
- Denny Doyle: No, it was the train. She bucks all the time, especially in that switching. She's a dog.
- Mr. Blue: What did they catch you doing?
- Mr. Green: Nothing. They framed me. The beakies needed a fall guy.
- Mr. Blue: The beakies?
- Mr. Green: Transit cops. Undercover guys. They got wind of a gang passing dope, you know, transporting from downtown uptown and giving it to a motorman, somebody picking it up in Harlem. They tried to pin the evidence on me but they didn't find anything.
- Mr. Blue: You were innocent?
- Mr. Green: Course I was innocent. Do you think I'd do a thing like that? What's the matter with you?
- Mr. Green: I'm taking your brake handle, and the reverse key,
- [sneezes]
- Mr. Green: . I want your cut-in key also.
- [Doyle hands them to Mr. Green]
- Mr. Green: That's it.
- Mr. Blue: You'll be hearing from Command Center in a minute or two. You won't answer; you'll ignore the call. Is that perfectly clear, My. Doyle?
- Denny Doyle: Oh yeah, yes, sir, they can call all they want to. I'm deaf.
- Denny Doyle: You're still in switching. Why don't you peg it up to series? You're green all the way.
- Mr. Green: Nah, we're in no mach schnell.
- [Mr. Green sneezes]
- Denny Doyle: Cold sounds pretty bad.
- Mr. Green: I don't know. I woke up in the middle of the night.
- [a bright flash comes from the track, followed by a bang]
- Mr. Green: Sheesh.
- Mr. Blue: What happened?
- Mr. Green: Must have bucked.
- Mr. Blue: You told me you could drive this thing.
- Mr. Green: It wasn't me.
- Denny Doyle: No, it was the train. She bucks all the time, especially in that switching. She's a dog.
