Raymond J. Barry credited as playing...
Vice President
- Vice President: What do you want?
- Joshua Foss: What do I want? World peace, an end to bigotry, and no more mini-malls. What am I gonna get? And I am gonna get it. That, boys and girls, is really hot.
- Vice President: What is your objective?
- Joshua Foss: My objective?
- [shudders]
- Joshua Foss: I get funny all over when you talk like that.
- Vice President: [after Foss shoots an agent] That agent's name was Eddie Kaline. He has a five-year-old boy, a three-year-old little girl, and his wife's pregnant.
- Joshua Foss: I'll send a card.
- Joshua Foss: Enough bombs have been planted in this building to stop all the clocks in the hemisphere.
- Vice President: You'll die with us.
- Joshua Foss: Could be.
- Mrs. Baldwin: I don't think anyone with manicured fingernails wearing a ten-thousand-dollar wristwatch is planning on blowing himself up.
- Joshua Foss: Fifteen-thousand-dollar wristwatch.
- [walks over to her]
- Joshua Foss: I'm not sure if I like you. When I make up my mind, you'll be the first to know.
- Vice President: You have no idea of the complexity...
- Joshua Foss: I had an idea, I had *this* idea, and we are gonna make it work or we're gonna die trying. You will call the President, and on flash precedence priority, he will call the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Treasury. Then banks will be notified, and the money will begin to move. Or it won't. And if it doesn't, when the game ends, everyone in this box and in this arena will die by explosion, fire and panic.
- Hickey: They haven't moved a dime. You, y'know, I - I don't think they believe you.
- Joshua Foss: They are gonna sacrifice a life to test my will.
- [scoffs]
- Joshua Foss: I'm truly disappointed. Nobody does anything these days 'cause it's right, they only do it if you make them. Would you like to vote on who gets the distinction of demonstrating my resolve?
- Vice President: You're not giving them enough time. I told you it couldn't be done that quickly!
- Joshua Foss: Oh, you watch how much they accomplish during the next period. Now, would you all agree that the mayor's wife's been most annoying?
