Didn't I tell you to knock first?

Good, because this is what is called

a cash trans-action.

Now you understand

commodities? Don't you.

You know, pork bellies, gold, crude?

Listen... listen no disrespect

but... maybe... Maybe

I'm not the guy you

should be talking to.

Oh no, you are exactly the guy

I wanna talk to. Now I want

you to look at the ticker and

you tell me what is the going rate

for a new york hostage today?

Do you think million

dollars is too much? I do?

I think it's corny. Get your

calculator out, you got one.

- You don't have a calculator?

- Yeah, we got one. I got one.

Okay, good. Add this up, you got

This is 526,315.79.

Now times that by 19.

- What you got?

- Who is he? A goddamn accountant?

That's 10 million.

- What you got?

- That comes up to 10 million, plus 1 cent.

That is a deal! Now you call the

mayor and tell him the price.

And you tell him I want 100

thousand and $100 bills, you got that.

I got it. What about the 1 cent?

Well you keep that 1 cent,

that's your brokers fee.

now I want the rest, in plain suitcases the kind with

the wheels and the deportable handle. Okay.

Now this is not a futures

contract this is a spotre,

that means there's a time limit

on it. Okay you got that?

What do you think is a fair, time limit?

You know, I don't know,

I mean, I'm really just a guy

Come on give me a time limit.

Give me a fair time limit.

Thursday.

I was thinking more like an hour,

now what does your watch say?

Oh that's exactly what

my watch says! So at 3:13

I want that money here, mother f***er.

and after that, there is a late fee.

What do you think that

late fees going to be?

Come on, tell me what will it be.

Your going to kill... the passengers.

Oh commodities is

what I will start to kill.

One for every minute past the

dead line, I am forced to wait.

They become more valuable this

way, they still have the same price.

He's only rattleing, he's

never gonna pull this off.

Don't tell me, tell him.

- Who the hell is this guy?

- I don't know who it is!

Garber. Just stay with it.

What's your name? I didn't get your

name, what's your name my man?

- My name?

- What's your name?

Tell him? Garber.

Garber, okay. Now seriously, man.

In 59 minutes, I'm gonna

start killing passengers.

So my advice to you, get on the

phone and get the mayor notified, now!

Listen, I mean, I'm just

a civil service employee,

I can't get hold of the mayor.

Well that's your problem man,

that's not mine! That's like,

Who's responsible for who

lives and who dies in, new york?

That's the, new york city's problem!

Get the f*** of the radio and
