Where There's Smoke (1998)

Peter Gallagher: Kurt

Quotes 

• Volcana : Donny, I can give you a really good price. I have to get out of town.

  Donny : Look, Volcana, honey, I'd love to help you, but I can't move that kind of stuff. Don't you have anything else?

  Volcana : [picking up a copy of the Daily Planet]  I might.

  Donny : Yeah? When?

  Volcana : Tuesday. Meet me at the usual place. You won't be sorry.

  [hanging up, Donny gasps as three agents approach him] 

  Kurt : Where exactly is "the usual place"?

• Volcana : Shoe's on the other foot, eh, lover?

  Kurt : Volcana, please.

  Superman : Volcana, no. Let the courts deal with him.

  Volcana : You'll understand if I'm a little skeptical about the justice system. I prefer my own justice. And if you're not part of my solution... you're part of my problem.

• Kurt : No escape, Volcana. The tank is filled with an inert gas. The breathing mask is your only source of oxygen. Not enough for you to start a fire. And should you try...

  [he presses a button on his glove, and she begins to choke from the lack of oxygen] 

  Kurt : I wouldn't give us any trouble. Understood?

  Volcana : Okay, you win. Who do you want me to kill?

  Kurt : My dear, you can't believe we'd trust you with another assignment. However, it did cost us a lot of money to develop your talents, and we'd like to get some of it back.

  Volcana : How?

  Kurt : A foreign government doing metagenetic experiments wants to study you.

  Volcana : You mean dissect me.

  Kurt : Probably. When they're done playing.

• Kurt : Superman. Just in time.

  Superman : [his agents cock their weapons]  Really?

  Kurt : You can see we've shut down Volcana. As you know, she's a real loose cannon.

  Superman : You're the loose cannon. You and your entire operation. Your friends told me Project Firestorm's funding was cut off years ago. This isn't the government. It's just you.

• Volcana : I guess I always knew you'd catch up to me, Kurt. Now leave, before I make it even hotter for you.

  Kurt : You've been bad, Volcana.

  Volcana : You've been worse. And now that we've recapped the past two years...

  Kurt : You shouldn't have left us.

  Volcana : I don't like being used.

  Kurt : All for a good cause.

  Volcana : I'll be the judge of that. And if you're thinking you can make me go back, forget it.

  Kurt : Now, that's where you're wrong.

  [agents burst in and cover her in fire-retardant foam] 

  Kurt : You see, we've had two years to think about... how to do it.
