Quotes 

• Charles Weiss : [coming into Walter's office]  A nut who knows a lot about bombs. We found this in a playground. Professional. Very cool stuff. You know...

  [thuds the bomb on Cobb's desk] 

  Charles Weiss : Boom!

  Inspector Cobb : You think you should slam it around like that, Charlie?

  Charles Weiss : It's unmixed. You can't hurt it. This stuff is cutting edge. It's a binary liquid.

  Inspector Cobb : A what?

  Charles Weiss : Like epoxi. Two liquids.

  [puts a dab of the clear liquid on Cobb's desk] 

  Charles Weiss : Now, either one by itself,

  [hits it with his shoe] 

  Charles Weiss : you got nothing. But, mix them...

  [swirls a paper clip in both liquids and throws it at a chair, the mixture explodes violently knocking the chair across the room] 

  Connie Kowalski : [yelling]  Charlie, you're gonna be wearin' that chair up your ass!

  Inspector Cobb : [yelling]  Christ almighty, Charlie!

  Charles Weiss : Like I said very cool stuff. Now, with a package like this, you get a warning. Now, the bomb has to arm itself. You'll see the red liquid pump into the clear before it detonates.

  John McClane : How long before?

  Charles Weiss : Ten seconds, two minutes, it could be anything. But, once it's mixed, be somewhere else.

• Charles Weiss : [finding the school bomb]  Well... I'd say you could call off your search.

  Inspector Cobb : Can you stop it?

  Charles Weiss : I shouldn't even touch it. Who knows what kind of booby traps this thing's got. What about the code?

  Inspector Cobb : No word.

  Joe Lambert : When do we evacuate?

  Inspector Cobb : Simon says he sees one kid leave the building, boom!

  Joe Lambert : Fine, there's a chance that somebody's still watching, but we can't stand here with our thumb up our ass waiting for this freaking thing to blow up!

• Charles Weiss : [about to cut the wire that may or may not cause the bomb to explode]  No guts. No glory.

• [Weiss is hardwiring the bomb in Chester A. Arthur Elementary School] 

  Charles Weiss : Six booby traps, four dead ends, "and a Partridge in a pear tree." Okay, honey. Let's dance.

• Inspector Cobb : [after Charlie demonstrates the binary liquid bomb]  That stuff has gotta be pretty rare. We oughta be able to find out if any of it's missing somewhere.

  Joe Lambert : Already did. Livermore Labs theft over the weekend.

  John McClane : He got enough to make another one, Joe?

  Joe Lambert : About 2,000 pounds.

  Inspector Cobb : Of that?

  Charles Weiss : The detonating mechanism could be anything; radio, electrical. Hell, you could use a beeper and phone it in.
