[Mitch has taken Frank to an elevator]

Mitch Leary:
Do you believe in the nobility of suicide?

Frank Horrigan:
No. But if you wanna blow your goddamn head off, go ahead, be my guest.

Mitch Leary:
Nicely put, except I don't want to leave this miserable world alone.

Lilly Raines:
West tower, do you have a shot?

Sniper:
Negative, too dark. Target unclear.

Leary:
It's better to die with a friend, don't you think Frank?

Horrigan:
A friend? You're a damn killer, you sick bastard.

Leary:
Don't talk to me like that! I saved your life. You owe me.

Horrigan:
I don't owe you sh*t.

Leary:
I was always honest and fair with you.

Horrigan:
Go ahead and shoot. Go ahead. [the other agents hear him on the ground floor]

Agent Chavez:
It's Frank. [to people reacting at the audio] Quiet! Quiet!

Horrigan:
Come on, dammit.

Raines:
Frank are you talking to me?

Horrigan:
[trying to keep talking to Leary] Well, what are you waiting for?

Leary:
What am I waiting for? I'm waiting for you to show me some goddamn gratitude. [aims pistol as Horrigan moves back] Without me, you'd still just be another sad-eyed, piano-playing drunk. I brought you into this game. I let you keep up with me. I made you a goddamn hero today.

Horrigan:
You didn't make me anything.

Leary:
I redeemed your pathetic, shitty life.

Horrigan:
I just did my job. You're the one with the f***ing pathetic life. Go ahead and shoot, dammit.

Raines:
They can't see inside. If they fire, you'll be hit.

Leary:
I want you to thank me first, Frank.

Horrigan:
Shut up and shoot.

Raines:
All right, Frank.

Leary:
[kneels to him] All right, Frank.

Raines:
Shooters, standby to fire. Wait for my command.

Leary:
Sleep well, my friend.

Horrigan:
Just one thing: Aim high.

Leary:
What?

Raines:
Aim high.

Horrigan:
NOW!

Raines:
Fire!

Leary:
[finally sees that Horrigan was on the radio the whole time] You bastard! [snipers shoot]
