Escape From New York Page #6

Why don't we wait outside here for him?

Well, why don't we wait inside for him?

Because I got orders, that's why.

What are your specific orders,

by the way?

The specific orders, Brain,

was for me...

...not to let no one go inside.

How's the president holding up?

Any political discussions

you've had with him?

That Brain is a real pain in the ass.

He's always sniffing around like a dog.

He comes up with the gas.

What are you looking at?

Are you from the outside?

- Stop shaking.

- I can't.

- Who are you?

- Hauk sent me in.

- We've gotta move fast.

- Move fast?

- You're goddamn right I'll move fast.

- Keep quiet.

They got him.

Watch it.

Friend of yours, Brain?

He had a gun on me, Duke.

There was nothing I could do.

Maggie.

Who are you?

I said, who are you?

Snake Plissken, Duke.

The Man sent him in here.

Something's going down.

We need him.

Snake Plissken.

I've heard of you.

I heard you were dead.

This is Surveillance 4 to Security Control.

Nothing on the infrared body scan.

Nothing in the searchlights.

There aren't any fires on the streets.

Nobody moving down there.

Surveillance 5 to Security Control.

Negative on infrared body scan.

No movement in the searchlights.

Something strange going on down there.

- We've got to go in now.

- We hold.

- You're countermanding my orders.

- It's my prison. I give the orders.

I override all that.

Just try.

Surveillance 10.

Still negative on the scans.

This is Surveillance 4 to Security Control.

Nothing on the infrared body scan.

Make another sweep.

Surveillance 10, still negative on scans.

Surveillance 5, negative.

The whole prison looks deserted.

There's nothing moving anywhere.

Still circling.

This is Surveillance 4 to Security Control.

Nothing on the infrared body scan.

Still negative...

Don't move, Snake.

I want that diagram, Brain.

It's at my place, Duke.

Duke, that Plissken said

something about a time limit.

- What time limit?

- On him.

That's a lot of crap.

What did I teach you?

You are Duke of New York.

You are A-number-one.

I can't hear you.

You are the Duke of New York!

You are A-number-one!

Get me the diagram.

Duke, don't kill Plissken. We need him.

Get moving, Brain.

People down below in the park.

Can you see them?

Surveillance 10 to Security Control,

are you getting that readout...

...that pulse there on the infrared?

We have a visual sighting on it.

It's a crowd of prisoners in Central Park.

They're waving at us.

Signaling us from the food-drop area.

They're waving us down.

I still can't figure out whether

that son of a b*tch Plissken...

...was telling the truth or not.

God, I hate that guy.
