Falling Down movie plot
-
Construction Worker: Where do you think you're going? You can't come this way.
Bill Foster: What are you doing to the street?
Construction Worker: We're fixing it! What the hell does it look like?
Bill Foster: Two days ago, it was fine. You're telling me the street fell apart in two days?
Construction Worker: [sarcastically] Well, I guess so.
Bill Foster: Pardon me, but that's bullshit. I want to know what's wrong with the street. See, I don't think anything's wrong with the street. I think you're just trying to justify your inflated budgets.
Construction Worker: What are you, nuts?
Bill Foster: No, I know how it works. If you don't spend the money you have projected this year, they won't give you the same amount next year. Now I want you to admit there's nothing wrong with the street!
Construction Worker: Fuck you, pal! Hah?
Bill Foster: [pulls up his shirt revealing a pistol tucked under his belt] You're not going to hold us hostage here with these yellow lights and all these big trucks.
Construction Worker: Look, I'm just here to keep people from falling in, that's all.
Bill Foster: I want to hear it from you. What's wrong with the street?
Construction Worker: I don't know, I really don't know. I mean, I think it's a sewer job.
Bill Foster: You're lying. What's wrong with the street?
Construction Worker: Nothing.
Bill Foster: I knew it. See, I knew it was fine. But I'll give you something to fix.
[he pulls a rocket launcher out of his bag]
Bill Foster: Here!

Sergeant Prendergast: She'd got it into her head that I'd been killed, so when I got home she thought I was a ghost and I had to chase her around the house!
