triangle Script 대본 Roteiro Texto


Edwards: Freeze! N.Y.P.D., freeze!

Cop:: All yours, Edwards.

Edwards: Freeze means stop!

Edwards: Do you see this? N.Y.P.D.! It means I will knock your punk-ass down!

Alien: He's coming! He\’s coming!

Edwards: Yeah, and when he gets here, I'll arrest his ass too.

Edwards: You are trying to catch a beat down, huh?

Edwards: What's up?

Alien: He's coming. He's coming because I failed. And now he'll kill me too.

Edwards: Yeah, well you\’re just pissing everybody off today, huh?

Alien: You don't understand. Your world is going to end.

Edwards: What the hell are you? Hey. Watch that ledge. Watch the ledge. Look, look, come on down. We'll get those eyes fixed. Don't even worry about it. Wait, wait a minute. Let me talk to you! Hey…

Chief: The perpetrator then blinked two sets of eyelids. You mean blinked with both eyes?

Edwards: No, sir. He blinked one set. Then he blinked a completely different set.

Cop: You know, like high beams and low beams.

Chief: Was that before or after he drew the weapon that you claim evaporated into a million pieces?

Edwards: After, sir.

Chief: And why is it that none of the other officers saw either of these two events?

Edwards: Well sir, some other officers are a little soggy around the midsection. I guess that's why they weren’t able to keep up.

Cop: Hey Edwards, if you were half the man I am…

Edwards: What the hell are you talking about? I am half the man that you are.

Cop: What is your problem?

Edwards: My problem is you being all up in my damn face. That’s my problem.

Cop: You know, I think he threw him off the roof.

Edwards: Maybe you're next.

Chief: I want to talk to you. Now.

Cop: Ten minutes, take your best shot, tough guy.

Edwards: Take ten minutes on a Stairmaster, you pudgy bastard.

Weaver: I believe you. Laurel Weaver, Deputy Medical Examiner. Find me at the morgue on 26th and Shae

Edwards: Wait a minute. Hey, wait a minute!

Kay: You're Dr. Weaver with the coroner's office working on the John Doe, right?

Weaver: Yes, that's right.

Kay: Will you look at this, please?

Kay: Some night, huh?

Edwards: Yeah, some night.

Kay: They were gills, not eyelids. Gills. He was out of breath.

Edwards: Who are you?

Kay: Did he say anything to you?

Edwards: Yeah, he said the world was coming to an end.

Kay: Did he say when? Would you recognize his weapon if you saw it again?

Edwards: Absolutely.

Kay: Come on. Let's take a ride.

Edwards: Wait a minute. Look, I got tons of paperwork.
