- Zeus Carver: Morning.
- John McClane: Good morning.
- Zeus Carver: You having a nice day, sir? You feeling all right? Not to get too personal, but a white man standing in the middle of Harlem wearing a sign that says "I hate n*****s" has either got some serious personal issues, or not all his dogs are barking. (McClane yawns) Hey! I'm talking to you! Now you've got about ten seconds before those guys see you, and when they do they will kill you, you understand? You are about to have a very bad day.
- John McClane: Tell me about it.
- John McClane: Listen, you fail I cover your ass. I fail you cover my ass!
