The Towering Inferno1974

(Opening lines - Duncan and Roberts board an elevator from the roof to the 65th floor)

James Duncan:
So, how was it?

Doug Roberts:
Good.

James Duncan:
You're gonna go ahead, huh?

Doug Roberts:
Full steam.

James Duncan:
Anything I can do to change your mind?

Doug Roberts:
Nope, no way.

James Duncan:
You know there's an old saying that, uh, 'No matter how hot it gets up there during the day, there's -'

Doug Roberts:
'-not a damn thing to do in the night', right?

James Duncan:
That's right. Now just what the hell are you gonna do at night in the middle of nowhere?

Doug Roberts:
Sleep like a winner.

James Duncan:
Doug, you're a city boy with a low threshold for boredom. You'll be back in two weeks. (The elevator arrives on the 65th floor) Can you come in the office for a minute?

Doug Roberts:
I got people waiting upstairs.

James Duncan:
Well what I wanted to tell you is that Senator Parker's flying in for the dedication tonight. And he's almost guaranteed the Urban Renewal contract. Now do you know what that means? Skyscrapers like this all over the country! You design 'em, I'll build 'em.

Doug Roberts:
(Boarding an elevator for the 79th floor) Every month you suffer from an edifice complex.

James Duncan:
You'll never leave.

Doug Roberts:
Right after the party. Come on downstairs and watch me burn my black tie.
