Chief O' Hallorhan:
You know we were lucky tonight. Body count's less than 200. You know, one of these days you're gonna kill 10,000 in one of these firetraps, and I'm gonna keep eating smoke and bringing out bodies until somebody ask us... how to build them.

Doug Roberts:
(turns to look at the scorched upper floors of the Tower and then back to O'Halloran) Okay, I'm asking.

Chief O' Hallorhan:
You know where to reach me. So long, architect.
