Meg Ryan: Maggie Cavanaugh

Armed and Dangerous

Maggie Cavanaugh

Norman Kane: [17:30] That's it? Just like that, huh?
Maggie Cavanaugh: Mr. Kane, there are only two things that you have to remember - never fall asleep where anyone can see you and make sure your name is very clearly marked on your lunch.
Norman Kane: Well, I can handle that.

Maggie Cavanaugh: [15:00] Just remember, when you pull the trigger, the bullets come out going very, very fast. So make sure to keep the weapon pointing away from you. Now that's about it. You are now armed... guards. God help us all.

Maggie Cavanaugh: [41:03] I uh, I got divorced recently and I needed a job and my father asked me to come work for him until I got back on my feet.

Frank Dooley: Now, they're planning to hit this armored truck between here and Riverside. But we're gonna nail them first, right here at Seventh and Elm. Now, this where you come into it, Maggie. You arrange that Norm is driving that truck. That way he can lead Carlino's men to our rendezvous point where I will be waiting to catch them in the act.
Norman Kane: I'm driving the truck?
Frank Dooley: Yes, did I forget to mention that?
Norman Kane: Yes, you did forget to mention that! I'm driving that truck? Sorry, but it sounds a little flaky now. This whole plan sounds dangerous. What if you're not there, Frank? Do you have a backup plan?
Frank Dooley: There's no backup plan, buddy boy. This is it. I'll be there! You see the point is this, there's good guys and there's bad guys. There's right and there's wrong. And there comes a time in every man's life where he's got to take a stand. And this time is now!
Norman Kane: You're right. I agree. You're right.
Maggie Cavanaugh: Well, count me in.
Frank Dooley: Thanks, Maggie.

[after being reprimanded by Capt. O'Connell, Frank Dooley and Norman Kane storm out of his office in anger]
Maggie Cavanaugh: Dooley! Kane! What did he say? Are you in trouble?
Norman Kane: No, no. He let us off with a fine, and some very bad breath.
Frank Dooley: [furious] We bust our asses for $4.60 an hour...
[screams]
Frank Dooley: and he treats us like criminals!
Norman Kane: I'm gonna complain to the union. That's what I'm gonna do, because it's not fair.
Frank Dooley: [screams again] THAT MAN IS A JERK!
Norman Kane: He a sub-human, moronic... poop-head!
Maggie Cavanaugh: He's my father.
[Frank chuckles]
Norman Kane: Well, I'm... sure he has his good points.
Frank Dooley: Oh, sure he does. He's salt of the earth.
Norman Kane: Qualities of a saint at times.
Maggie Cavanaugh: [enters Capt. O'Connell's office] See you around.
Frank Dooley: Okay.
Norman Kane: [feeling humiliated; to Frank] Thank you very much. Now she hates me. Thank you.
Frank Dooley: Well, you were the one who called him a poop-head.
Norman Kane: I don't want to discuss it.
Frank Dooley: Is that what you say when you get angry? It that the best you can come up with is "poop-head"?
