Sneakers (1992) Edit

A computer matched her with him? I don't think so.

A lady in a green skirt and this guy with the cap.

A loathsome man named Buddy DeVries,

A right on Antrim and a left on 84.

A spokesman for the party said they had plenty of money in their accounts last week,

A ticket stub to a Barry Manilow concert.

A.K.A. Buddy Weber, Buddy Wallace.

ABBOTT: Are we done here? Not yet. Whistler.

ABBOTT: Mr. Bishop.

Absolutely. This is outside the NSA's jurisdiction.

Ah, it's an emergency exit.

Air traffic control system.

Ajar of pencils, but no little black box.

All of you, step over here.

All right, all right.

All right, I'll give you a reason.

All right, that's enough. Let's go.

All right. I'll be right back.

All right. I'll see what I can do.

All right. It's time we call the authorities.

All the computers in the world could not break them down.

All the more reason to turn ourselves in now while we can still cut a deal.

All you did was say it was broken.

All yours, Bish.

Almost where?

Amnesty International, Greenpeace, and the United n**** College Fund

Anal.

And allow us to acquire the solution in a dramatically more efficient manner.

And chairman of the social committee.

And don't tell me you won't do it, because I've got to have it.

And he hard wired it into that chip.

And I began to perform a variety of services.

And I can get my name back.

And I like the fact that they're under 30.

And looks at me, like right dead in my eyes.

And never let him know

And now she's out to ruin him.

And she begins to go, and this one bull turns around

And she's using me to get to you.

And Tahiti.

And Tahiti.

And that's why she hired me.

And then there's Martin Bishop.

And then what did you hear?

And there's this one word. I've always loved the sound of this word.

And they will come up with a name.

And we are going.

And we can't tell anybody.

And we're gonna get a clear shot.

And women.

Another bump. Enhancing.

Any faster than that...

Any problems?

Anybody else?

Anybody want to shut down the Federal Reserve?

Anyway, they arranged for me to get an early release

Are there any secondary indications? Smoke or flame?

Are you ready for the dim sum bar?

Are you seeing... Shh!

At least I... Oh! Goodness, can it be?

At least not until now.

Athens. Oh, and Scotland.

Bastard liar!

Battle stations.

Be a beacon in his sad and lonely life. Can you do that for Gunter?

Be a beacon?

Beautiful. Come and get us.

Beauty. We got body temp, Crease.

Because money's most powerful ability is to allow bad people

Because the neoprene would suffocate you.

Been vacant for a month.

Before we begin, there's something we'd like to clear up.

Besides it's absolutely fabulous, is that it only has 400 calories.

Better Whistler.

Between the pencil jar and the lamp.

Bingo!

Bingo.

Bish, he's lying.

Bish, I think you better come over here.

Bish, they've got Crease and Mother.

Bish, what did it sound like?

Bishop, you don't have a business.

BISHOP: Come on, Crease. There's got to be a way around these things.

BISHOP: He had some little problem with the phone company.

BISHOP: I didn't invent the word.

BISHOP: I don't know where it is, remember?

BISHOP: No.

BISHOP: Oh, this is good.

BISHOP: Okay, let's see here. Phone bill, no long distance. Club Med brochure.

BISHOP: That's Cosmo's office. I saw the sensors.

BISHOP: Turn it Off.

BISHOP: What, no parachute?

BISHOP: You wouldn't believe what I had to go through

Bishop?

Blue team, move to corridor one. Green team, secure north corridor.

Bridge, yeah.

Buddy Wallace. Hi.

Buddy, is that Janek's file?

Budgets, payroll, money laundering, you name it.

Bumps. Rough ones.

But first, who's got my check?

But further apart.

But I do expect you to understand this. We started this journey together.

But I found out.

But if the feds get Janek's box...

But if you guys don't want to take that chance just to keep me out of jail...

But if you want to stop me, you'll have to pull the trigger.

But maybe, just maybe there's a shortcut.

But not everybody's going begging.

But the key meeting took place July 1, 1958,

But the perception of reality.

But there is a risk.

But today they just don't know where the money has gone.

But we did not take it.

But what if this indicated...

But why? Who hired you?

But you can't even see anything.

But your team, it's...

By law, we're not allowed or equipped to do this kind of operation.

Bye, Liz WHISTLER: You too, Liz.

Can I call you?

Can we beat this with tape?

Can you deal?

Can you guarantee my safety?

Can you guarantee my safety?

Can't they still just hook it up and do terrible things with it?

Card?

Carl Arbogast, age 19.

Carl, can you get me some cable and that IO interface, please?

Carl, get the diagnostics.

Carl, how's the weather?

Carl, listen carefully. You've got trouble.

Carl, now!

Carl, what else you got?

Carl, what else?

Carl, what the hell were you waiting for?

CARL: He leaves work between 6:00 and 7:00 every night,

CARL: I should have the invoice here.

CARL: Nine hundred billion a day goes through there.

CARL: See?

CARL: So let's get this frigging thing.

Carl?

Carl?

Carl? Hit the alarm.

Carl.

Carl.

Carl. Excuse us.

Carl. Yes.

Carl's in position on the fire escape. Mother's in the cable vault.

Cattle mutilations are up.

Caught breaking into the Oakland City School District computer

Chain of fools.

Chain, chain, chain chain, chain, chain.

Check, please.

Ciao.

Clear up my record. Get out of my life.

Cocktail party.

Come.

Coming to get you.

Conclusion? Ma Bell needs to donate some money.

Consequence, people start to withdraw their money.

Cos, you haven't gone crazy on me, have you?

Cosmo, trust me.

Cosmo.

Could I please have director of operations? It's very important.

Could we maybe just go back to the "they might kill us" part?

Crease, we're on the roof.

Crease, where's Whistler going?

CREASE: $750 limit on his Visa, pays his bills, no bad debts, no bum checks.

CREASE: All right. We gotta take it as a word.

CREASE: He's just wearing four safety belts this time.

CREASE: Hey, Martin!

CREASE: How is this possible?

CREASE: I can't believe we actually made it back.

CREASE: I don't believe this!

CREASE: Martin.

CREASE: This is what's in Cosmo's office.

CREASE: What do you think you're doing?

Crease! Forget it.

Crease? I'm in northeast three, over the corridor.

Crescent.

Cryptography systems are based on mathematical problems so complex

Cryptography. Very good.

Currency market? Commodities market? Yes.

Cute. All right. Carl, let's do this guy.

Cute. They've got the satellite in Tokyo.

Damn it! I need to know, and I need to know now.

Damn!

Darling, would you excuse me for a moment?

Darryl Roskow, also known as "Mother."

Deal. The box.

Definitely not. No, that's a V.

Destroy all records of ownership. Think of it, Marty.

Did he ever forgive you?

Did I ever tell you why I had to leave the CIA?

Did I say anything? You will.

Did my wife drop a cake off for me?

Did you ever get around to actually doing it? No, I guess not.

Did you know the deputy director of planning

Do it yourself.

Do what?

Do you have the item?

Do you read me?

Do you understand?

Do you wish our protection?

Do you wish our protection?

Do... Straighten out.

Does "Monterey's Coast" mean anything to you guys?

Does it? Yes, sir.

Does that make two, four, five.

Does this have a happy ending?

Doing okay. Five more seconds and stop.

Don't do it, Cos.

Don't forget Tahiti.

Don't go.

Don't kid yourself.

Don't listen to this man. He's certifiable.

Don't look. Listen.

Don't take this personally, Liz, but you were the only one who knew Martin's secret.

Don't tell me you can't do it because I know you can.

Don't worry. We'll get you out of there.

Don't you know the places we can go with this?

Don't.

Doris?

Dr. Elena Rhyzkov, visiting professor from Czechoslovakia,

Drive what?

Earthling counter.

Eighteen months at Dannemora for breaking and entering.

Either way, you've got a top speed of two inches per second.

Elena, really! I must finish my work.

Elena, really! I must finish my work.

ELENA: (ON TAPE) I leave message here on service but you do not call.

ELENA: I leave message here on service but you do not call.

Elizabeth and Martin.

Even lied to us about your name.

Everybody pack up whatever you can. This place isn't safe.

Evil defense contractors had it, noble causes did not.

Exactly why was it you had to leave the CIA?

Exactly.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Elizabeth.

Excuse me...

Excuse yourself.

Expensive.

Extension, please?

Farm out. Right arm.

Farms, banks, shopping malls. Two shopping malls.

Fellows, look at this man's trash. He's not looking for buff.

Fifteen seconds.

Fine! Tahiti!

Fine. I understand. Don't do it.

Fire exits need to be monitored.

First sign of baby sitters, we back off.

Five seconds.

Five years ago, yes, we could trust them not to go running to the FBI,

Five, four...

For an interview with President Eisenhower. And Ike said,

For five long years.

For the lecture, you wanna take Whistler or do you want me?

Forget it. It's a toy company.

Found murdered earlier this week in Palo Alto.

Four bridges in the Bay Area.

Four in the south corridor, five upstairs north.

Frankly, because it's kind of illegal.

Frankly, because we...

From my unfortunate incarceration,

From the gun that killed a Russian consular officer.

Fully equipped, big kitchen, water bed, microwave.

Gee, I can't tell you what a relief that is, Dick.

Geronimo!

Get a hold of yourself.

Get in the car.

Get in the car.

Get out of the vehicle now.

Get up.

Give him head?

Give him help.

Give me a break.

Give me back Janek's box, Greg.

Give me research. It's an emergency.

Give me the box. Take the goddamn thing! I don't want it.

Give me the number for something impossible to access.

Give you a really good reason.

Go on.

Go right! Right!

Go.

God, it's good to see you.

God.

Goddamn it, you gave me your word!

Good work.

Good.

Good.

Good. Hold on. Whistler?

GORDON: We know.

Got his check?

GREASE: On a hill overlooking the northeast corner of the lot.

Great!

Great.

Great. Now that we're accessories to espionage and murder.

Great. Now we got to look for a cocktail party

Great. The world's most boring human.

Greenpeace?

Gregor, you are shameless.

Grow up.

Grow up.

Guards in the boiler room.

Guess where it comes from?

Gunter? You're...

Guys, could we get out of here? Yeah.

Guys, do it again.

Guys, I really think you should leave that thing alone.

Guys, I'm going in. Do you hear me, Carl?

H isn't next to the L.

Had the astronauts broadcast around the world from a soundstage

Hands over your head. Move!

Hang up, Bish! Hang up! MOTHER: He's lying! He's lying!

Hang up. They've almost got us.

Has to be up close and personal.

He died in prison.

He doesn't seem to have a past.

He knows the government's been suppressing for years.

He said our codes were based on an entirely different system than the Russian codes,

He'll be in a crawl space. Break through.

He's a computer dater.

He's a generous man. I'd say, all he's got. God, I'm hungry!

He's a very safe driver.

He's giving a master lecture at 3:30...

He's gonna type in his password,

He's got a service.

He's logging on the computer.

He's lying!

He's serious.

He's serious.

He's touched.

Hello, Greg.

Help me out?

Here it is. Here we go.

Here we come.

Here, help me with this.

Here, let me do this.

Here, look, I might lose my license for this.

Here.

Hey, Abby, come on.

Hey, Crease, you on?

Hey, don't flatter yourself.

Hey, don't screw around with that thing!

Hey, guys, that federal building?

Hey, here we go.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey, we're all friends here, right? Easy, easy.

Hey, let's get an l.D. on Dr. Rhyzkov.

Hey, man, I'm not waiting any longer. I'm calling the fire...

Hey, nice to see you.

Hey, no problem. And, son?

Hey. Who's Rhyzkov?

Hi, my name is Werner Brandes.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi. Hi.

HIGH PITCHED VOICE ON TAPE: Hi, my name is...

Him?

Him.

His name's Werner Brandes.

Hmm.

Hold it right there. Crease, what's this mean?

Hold it! Hold it! Let me see your entry card.

Hold on a second here.

Hold on, Mother, go back one.

Holy cow.

Honey, you and Melissa get your things.

How about "My Socrates Note"?

How about a lunch? You can chaperon. No.

How about Barbara? Now, she was cute.

How about Donald Crease? Twenty two year veteran of the CIA.

How about you? What do you want?

How about...

How are they spelling Setec?

How are you? Fine. How are you?

How come you didn't get caught?

How could you be so goddamn stupid?

How do you know that?

How nice for him.

How the hell are we going to get close enough to record him?

How's the audio?

Huh?

Hurry up. We've only got a few minutes before anybody knows we're gone.

I agree. Who did you say you were working for?

I am not going out with you.

I believe you have something that belongs to me.

I bet.

I called your number, and someone else answered.

I can hear the emergency floodlight batteries recharging.

I can't believe we pulled off the greatest sneak in history,

I can't do this alone, Liz.

I can't reach my card. Could you buzz this, please?

I can't talk to that guy.

I cannot kill my friend.

I cannot kill you.

I cannot kill you.

I didn't know you could do that in Mexico City.

I didn't recognize the voice.

I don't believe this.

I don't care if you go to jail.

I don't care what anybody says about the "New World Order."

I don't care what that says. You're not on the list. You can't get in.

I don't care.

I don't expect other people to understand this,

I don't have much choice, do I?

I don't know. I think maybe a personality conflict.

I don't know. I've never been out of the country.

I don't know. What are you talking about?

I don't trust that guy.

I don't understand.

I don't want it.

I give you something to work, baby.

I guess not.

I have never taken my wife to Europe.

I just love it when a man says that to me.

I just want her telephone number.

I just wish we could get course credit for this. Gosh!

I keep thinking about something Greg told me.

I know how you feel. Do you?

I know that's confusing, but don't you see what's happening here?

I know you are in the building

I know you.

I know you're not gonna say Russia. Yeah.

I know, kind of different.

I know. We're the ones who caught him.

I leave message here on service but you do not call.

I leave message here on service but you do not call.

I leave message here on service but you do not...

I looked in that box just now.

I love it. Let's get him a date.

I mean it. I'm an excellent marksman. Woman! Move!

I might even be able to crash the whole damn system.

I might lose my job.

I need an extension or a name.

I need to know if you're someone who can make a deal.

I need you...

I never saw it before.

I really enjoyed sleeping with all you guys. Take care.

I really love the sound of your voice.

I see.

I should think so, considering what I've been through.

I think I'll stop right here.

I think it's a dead end. Don't move.

I think that someone is trying to break into my office!

I thought I'd buy you dinner after.

I thought the FBI was supposed to do this kind of thing.

I thought you couldn't kill your friend, Cos. I missed on purpose!

I thought you were my man.

I took it from Mother's wallet.

I want a Winnebago.

I want peace on earth and goodwill toward men.

I was lucky. He wasn't.

I went out for pizza.

I will not be dragged back into your world.

I will not do this.

I won and you lost.

I would really like to hear you say the word...

I wouldn't bring this to you.

I'd like to have a deep relationship with a beautiful woman

I'll bet you anything he's found it.

I'll bet.

I'll just close the window. It's okay now.

I'll kill him! Oh, no, no, no!

I'll relax when we get that damn thing out of here.

I'm a private investigator.

I'm afraid these books are not as current as they used to be.

I'm afraid Wallace doesn't like you very much.

I'm Bernard Abbott, National Security Agency.

I'm going forward.

I'm going to a concert.

I'm going to be sick.

I'm going to bounce this call through nine different relay stations

I'm gonna be there and check him out. Okay? Any questions?

I'm gonna remove my hand now. Please, do not scream.

I'm here on business, Liz.

I'm here.

I'm interested in all kinds of astronomy.

I'm just a link in your chain, oh.

I'm not... No.

I'm picking one up this afternoon. That makes beating this look easy.

I'm sorry if he hurt you.

I'm sorry to hear it. Give me the box.

I'm sorry, but when you're wanted by the feds,

I'm sorry, Cos.

I'm sorry?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I forget the number.

I'm up! Up UP, up!

I'm your only way out.

I've had a bad night.

I've never heard sensors that powerful before.

I've read him. Now go away.

If he has, you're in over your head. I'll get my coat.

If I come in, can you guarantee my safety?

If I say no?

If I thought that was likely to happen,

If I wanted you dead...

If I were you, I'd destroy that thing.

If our friendship had meant anything to you at all,

If we had the box, yes. Without it, no.

If you change your mind call us at this number...

If you love him...

If you really love him...

If you'll excuse me, I have some work.

In a surprise announcement,

In Cosmo's office to 98.6 degrees,

Including money, operates not on reality...

Irwin Emery, also known as "Whistler."

Is involved in some plot to break into my office.

Is looking for someone meticulous, refined...

Is part of the same system that NASA used

Is someone at your door?

Is that him?

Is that the gardener? I thought he'd already left.

Isn't that what we said we always wanted?

It also responds to thermal differentials.

It could be a hundred miles away, next door, underground, in a sky rise. Forget it.

It may be nothing or it may be something. And we need to know.

It pays $175,000!

It states here that I am to deliver 36 boxes of Liquid Drano

It was a good way to meet girls.

It was the same people who framed Pete Rose.

It wasn't a journey, Cos. It was a prank.

It won't be easy getting in there.

It would be a breakthrough of Gaussian proportions,

It'll be the hardest trace they've ever heard.

It's a digital voice recognition monitor hooked up to an access booth.

It's a living.

It's about who controls the information,

It's all about the information.

It's all just electrons.

It's called a mantrap. I borrowed this demo from the manufacturer.

It's fascinating what 50 bucks can get you at the county recorder's office.

It's gotta be there somewhere. What's he doing?

It's interesting, don't you think, you guys, that the NSA is here?

It's just everybody on your team has had some sort of problem in their past.

It's just what she wants you to do.

It's just what she would want you to do.

It's kind of the same thing. Try another quadrant.

It's not that organized.

It's okay.

It's okay. I...

It's run by little ones and zeroes, little bits of data.

It's the nicest garbage I've ever seen.

It's time.

It's your mother.

Janek figured out a way to solve those problems without the key,

Janek just got in the elevator. Going up.

Janek's grant is from the NSA.

Jesus!

Job pays $175,000, payable on delivery.

Just a second. I'm not expecting anyone.

Just buzz it. I can't reach my card.

Just do your job. I don't want to talk to you anymore.

Just give me the box, Marty.

Just outside the sensor's range.

Just relax.

Just to get a safe deposit box.

Keep smiling.

Kill my friend.

Last month, the good doctor gets a grant, $380,000.

Left the NSA four years ago.

Let me see.

Let me zoom in on the front door.

Let's do what we did in Mexico City.

Let's take a look at his office.

Like seams in the concrete.

Linking the two killings. More bad news...

Listen, a few minutes ago, a gardener came...

Listen, when I was in prison, I learned that everything in this world,

Liz, I need your help.

Liz, I... It's okay. I'll get a cab.

LIZ: Boy, this was fun. Wanna go back?

LIZ: Let go of him.

Look at this, boys.

Looks like a workroom.

Loser goes.

Lower.

Lower.

Make some free telephone calls.

MAN ON PHONE: Good evening. PlayTronics.

MAN ON PHONE: Who is this, please?

MAN: Westguard Security. Yeah, I got a fire at Centurion Bank.

Martin Brice, my old and good friend,

Martin, have you lost your mind?

Martin, how wonderful to see you.

Martin, I can offer you asylum inside this car.

Martin, now that our countries are such good friends,

Martin, we lost...

MARTIN: I didn't get the money.

Martin.

Martin.

Marty,

Marty, please bring me the box.

Marty, sit down, please.

Marty, we have to find somebody truly worthy to give his money to.

Marty, you are sure we will not get into trouble for this?

Marty! Marty!

Marty?

Marty.

Marty.

May I have the box?

May I use your john, please?

Maybe I'll just open this window a bit.

Me neither. I'm in.

Member, International Microchip Designers Association

Member, International Microchip Designers Association

Mmm hmm.

Mmm hmm.

Monitor the audio. Grab the mike.

Morning. Hi.

Most firms of this type are staffed with ex law enforcement types.

Mother, get the directional. Carl, get the video. Let's go.

Mother, lock everything down.

Mother, stay on Crescent, get off at the reservoir.

Mother, that last contact.

Mother, what was that? Go back one.

MOTHER; Right On.

MOTHER: All right.

MOTHER: Hey, Bish, I think we've found our guy.

MOTHER: I'm gonna type it up later.

MOTHER: Maybe there's a frame or two where she doesn't block it.

MOTHER: No idea where they took you?

MOTHER: Not so fast.

MOTHER: Now what?

MOTHER: Okay, there's the corner room with the motion detectors Whistler heard.

MOTHER: Second floor, northwest two.

MOTHER: There's gotta be a way to cut a deal.

MOTHER: There's our little black box.

MOTHER: Where's this road go?

Mother?

Motherfuckers mess with me, I'll split your head!

Move!

Mr. Abbott, are you interested in Setec Astronomy?

Mr. Bishop, step over here, please. Hands on the wall, sir.

Mr. Bishop? My name is Special Agent Bestrop, FBI.

Mr. Bishop.

Mr. Bishop. Dick Gordon. Hi.

Mr. Brice.

My client is a vindictive, bitter woman.

My God.

My heart leaps like gazelle to see you back together again.

My name is Martin Bishop.

My voice is my passport. Verify me.

My voice is my passport. Verify me.

National power grid?

National Security Agency, director of operations, please.

National Security Agency.

Nice bank?

No delivery is scheduled. They didn't have anything on record.

No more secrets, Marty.

No more secrets.

No outstanding tickets or warrants.

No registered firearms.

No, don't do that. I'm driving!

No, don't do this.

No, I don't buy it.

No, I like them really squishy like that.

No, I...

No, it was really delicious.

No, it's the code breaker.

No, Mom, today's not a good day to come over. No...

No, no. I overcooked the carrots.

No, that's okay. I thought I'd ask Liz.

No, that's the FBI. We're not chartered for domestic surveillance.

No, they shot him, but they didn't kill him. He's still alive.

No! No, no, don't. Get a hold of yourself, Dr. Rhyzkov.

No? Oh, what a pity.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. Go directly north, 30 yards. There's an air duct there!

No. I'm getting my bag, and I'm leaving.

No. No.

No. Nobody there.

Nobody comes out for another 18 minutes. So it's one of those two.

Nobody else comes out for 22 minutes. That's who works next door.

Nope, here we go. Now we're gonna get our password.

Nope.

Nope.

Not a very good one.

Not as accurate as a polygraph, but it'll do.

Not as sorry as I am. Werner?

Not bad. Not bad, Carl.

Not for lack of trying, mind you.

Not one word.

Not unless you wanna read about it in Newsweek.

Nothing. It's private property.

Now get out of here.

Now it's the end of the day. Watch who comes out.

Now speak right into this box.

Now the box.

Now you must believe me.

Now, hit the brakes! Now!

Now, this guy's giving a lecture tomorrow at U.C. in the afternoon.

Now, what are you saying? The CIA caused the Managua earthquake?

Now!

Now!

Now? What are you talking about?

Now.

NSA uses the same technology

Numbers themselves may be our best tools.

Of course, no one knows where Martin Brice is, do they?

Oh boy.

Oh man, I don't know.

Oh no, not at all. It's lovely.

Oh no, not the head.

Oh no! No, what? What?

Oh no.

Oh yeah, that's him.

Oh yeah? Who do you think paid for your little love jaunt to Mexico City?

Oh, all right.

Oh, God, I'm driving! I'm driving!

Oh, God, no. Here you go, come on.

Oh, God.

Oh, God. Yeah, thanks.

Oh, good one. Consequence?

Oh, Gunter.

Oh, Gunter.

Oh, Gunter.

Oh, Gunter.

Oh, I see. You just overthrow governments, set up friendly dictators.

Oh, I'm fine.

Oh, I'm not really in any hurry.

Oh, Mother.

Oh, my

Oh, my God.

Oh, nothing.

Oh, oh, watch. Watch this.

Oh, pooch. Look what you've done to Doris's purse.

Oh, shit.

Oh, sure. Sure.

Oh, thanks.
