Capt. McMahon

[the bus has just entered LAX]
SWAT Driver: He's just entered the airport.
SWAT Officer: The airport? There's thousands of people there.
Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: All right! That's my boy Jack! We should be able to circle the runways and buy us some time. The choppers can't fly in there; it's restricted air space.
SWAT Driver: He's headed for the end of the field.
SWAT Officer: That must be Bravo Tango, an emergency runway.
Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: Yeah, let's hope it's built. Let's move!

Norwood: Sir, uh, we have a serious problem.
Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: What?
Norwood: This freeway isn't finished.
Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: What are you talking about?
Norwood: The aerial unit caught it about three miles ahead. There's a section missing.
Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: [taking out his map] Section missing? But it's on the map. It's finished on the God damn map!
Norwood: I guess they fell behind!

Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: And here... is to Harry. For his quick thinking... for his grace under pressure, and for his brave and selfless act.
[everyone cheers]
Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: And to Jack for shooting Harry. Something we've all wanted to do for a very long time.

Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: Alright gentlemen, what we have here is 13 passengers in a express elevator. Below floor 30. Bomber's already taken out cables, bomber wants $3 million or he blows the emergency brakes.
Harry Temple: What's our clock?
Norwood: He gave one hour. That leaves us twenty-three minutes exactly.
Swat Cop: Anything else that will keep this elevator from falling?
Jack: Yeah, the basement.
Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: The city would like to avoid that event, Officer Traven.
Harry Temple: We can't just unload the passengers?
Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: This is an express elevator gentlemen. The only way in or out is through access panels. Bomber's also wired the hatch to trigger the bomb, which seats him in the crazy-but-not-stupid section.
Jack: Sir, Harry volunteers to examine the device.
Harry Temple: Yeah, right.
Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: Fine. The two of you check it out.
Norwood: The nearest access panel is on the thirty-second floor in the lobby.
Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: I want reports only, we're in a holding patern. Worthy, Briggs, I want you to secure base area, no one in or out. Everyone else, I want you to confirm building evac. Move!
Jack: [to Harry] Looks like we're walking.

Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: Let's get these passengers off the bus!
Jack: We can't do it, sir.
Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: There's no time for any stunts, Traven. We gotta get these people out of harm's way!
Jack: I got orders!
[indicating the news helicopters following above]
Jack: We move these people, he'll see. Remember: crazy, not stupid.

Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: Temple, we just got a ransom demand from your dead terrorist. Says he's rigged a city bus. Where's Jack?
Harry: Where do you think?
