The Towering Inferno1974

James Duncan:
You looking for me, Chief?

Chief O' Hallorhan:
If you're Duncan, yeah.

James Duncan:
I am. Everything under control?

Chief O' Hallorhan:
We gotta move all these people outta here.

James Duncan:
Oh now just how bad is it?

Chief O' Hallorhan:
It's a fire, mister. And all fires are bad.

James Duncan:
Well, uh, I don't believe you're familiar with the many modern safety systems we have designed into this building. We've got 'em all.

Chief O' Hallorhan:
All right. It's your building, but it's our fire. Now let's get these people the hell out of here.

James Duncan:
Now I don't think you're listening, Chief. There's no way for a fire on 81 to reach up here, not in this building!

Chief O' Hallorhan:
Okay. I'll do it.

James Duncan:
Hold it, hold it. The mayor's out there. Do you want me to pull rank on you?

Chief O' Hallorhan:
When there's a fire, I outrank everybody here. Now one thing we don't want is a panic. Now I could tell them, but you oughta do it. Just make a nice cool announcement to all your guests and tell them the party's being moved down below the fire floor. Right now.
