Quotes 

• Ripper : Jack, what kept you? Andy here's been getting nervous. I promised him you'd come. Gave him my word of honor he could watch you die. Lose the cannon.

  Jack Slater : Has he hurt you Andrew?

  Ripper : Hurt, Jack? You say hurt? What do you know about hurt, Jack? You put me in a cage for ten years.

  Jack Slater : You should've gotten the death penalty.

  Ripper : Yeah, shoulda, woulda, coulda, yeah, yeah, yeah, right. Things crawling around on your head. Sitting on my chest when I wake up. You know what that's like, Jack? It was your illegal search, that rendered the bloody axe admissible. Remember, Jack? Now lose the gun.

  [Jack puts his gun on the ground] 

  Jack Slater : Alright, I'm unarmed.

  Ripper : Just one gun, Jack? You gotta be kidding.

  [Jack removes nearly a dozen guns] 

  Ripper : That all, sport?

  Jack Slater : Yup, that about does it.

  [pulls out grenade] 

  Jack Slater : Oh, unless you consider this a weapon.

  [throws grenade at Ripper's feet] 

  Ripper : Brilliant, brilliant, Jack. I surrender.

  Jack Slater : It's a live grenade.

  Ripper : Yeah right, Jack, right right right. You're gonna sacrifice your own child to get to me. I'm very flattered, Jack, but I doubt it. Andy, pick up the grenade.

  [Andy slowly picks up the grenade] 

  Ripper : Come on. Show it to me. That's good. Jack, that toy, can't hurt the boy.

  [flashes Axe] 

  Ripper : But this one can.

• Ripper : Hey, Jack. What kept you?

  Jack Slater : Are you alright, Danny?

  Danny Madigan : Yes, sir.

  Ripper : You know, I tried to change, Jack. I really tried to do what he told me to do. You know, but I kept hearing that old music. That's how I knew you'd come, Jack. Now lose the piece.

  [throws gun off the roof] 

  Jack Slater : There, it's now it's between you and me. Now let the boy go.

  Ripper : Now we've played this number before haven't we, Jack? Let's see, what comes next. You t - you throw the gun away. Right... we did that part.

  [mock laughter, puts down axe] 

  Ripper : Then, you tell me to let the kid go. Ah, I'm getting bored, why don't we just skip to the end?

  [throws Danny over the ledge] 

• Chris Connelly : Rip, Rip, come here. What brings you here tonight?

  Ripper : I, uh, I thought I might kill someone.

  Chris Connelly : [laughs]  You should start with your designer.
