Det. Jim Campbell:
[responding to a hostage situation @ St. Edmund's Catholic high school]
... Man, you know this ain't our gig.
Lt. Jack Cole:
Why worry? It's just a lovesick kid here; he's not the first, he won't be the last.
Det. Jim Campbell:
Yeah, an *armed and dangerous* lovesick kid. Why do you think we've got SWAT?
Lt. Jack Cole:
Because they look good in black. See if you can beg or borrow a couple of cell-phones for me; I'll meet you there.
[Inside a nearby classroom, Johnny holds his fellow students and their teacher at gunpoint]
Millie:
...Johnny! Johnny, please stop this. They're going to hurt you if...!
Johnny Deverell:
I'm *not* in the mood for this, Millie!
Millie:
Just put the gun down, Johnny! Stop this! Please, Johnny!
Lt. Jack Cole:
[over the school's PA system]
Johnny. This is Detective Jack Cole, LAPD. I'm not here to hurt you; I'm here to help you. I just gotta get in some kind of dialogue with you before SWAT gets here, because I don't want you to get hurt. So step over to the window, and you'll see that I'm unarmed.
Johnny Deverell:
Nobody move!
[the young hostages cower beneath their desks]
Lt. Jack Cole:
Just come on over to the window, so you can see me. That's it.
[Johnny looks out the window but doesn't see anybody. Then Cole bursts in through the door, gun drawn]
Lt. Jack Cole:
Sorry I had to do that, Johnny. Put the gun down. I don't wanna shoot you, and you don't wanna be dead.
Johnny Deverell:
Why not?
Lt. Jack Cole:
Come on, drop the gun! Or at least tell me what you want.
Johnny Deverell:
Don't talk like you know what makes me tick, man! You want me to start shooting?
[He waves his gun at his classmates]
Lt. Jack Cole:
You're right; I don't know you. So I'm gonna put my gun down...
[He does]
Lt. Jack Cole:
... and we'll start out like this. Now, what's the problem?
Johnny Deverell:
You wouldn't understand, man.
Lt. Jack Cole:
Try me.
Johnny Deverell:
I just can't go back with them.
Lt. Jack Cole:
With who? Who can't you go back with?
[as Johnny puts the gun to his own head, Cole catches him with a ramming tackle... which sends them both out one window and in through another]
Millie:
I love you, Johnny!
Johnny Deverell:
[barely conscious]
I love you too, Millie.
Lt. Jack Cole:
[dazed]
And I love both of you.
[to himself]
Lt. Jack Cole:
Boy, this job is something else!
