Jack: You're the expert. I just work here. Looks pretty solid. Anyone we know?
Harry: I don't recognize the work, but he's a pro. Oh, he's cuttin' it close.
Jack: I don't like it.
Harry: Yeah, well, what's to like? Mac said we hold, so we hold. All right, pop quiz. The airport. Gunman with one hostage. He's usin' her for cover. He's almost to a plane. You're a hundred feet away. Jack.
Jack: Shoot the hostage.
Harry: What?
Jack: Take her out of the equation. Go for the good wound, and he can't get to the plane with her. Clear shot.
Harry: You're deeply nuts. You know that? "Shoot the hostage." Geez.
Jack: Harry, this is wrong. He's gonna blow it anyway.
Harry: Why?
Jack: I don't know. Gut feeling.
Harry: Well, right now Mac outranks your gut, so we sit.
Man: This is taking way too long.
Jack: How much you think that elevator weighs?
Harry: Jack, come on.
Jack: Maybe we can do something about those hostages.
Harry: We're not gonna shoot 'em, right?
Man: Hey, where are you going? What's going on?
Woman: Don't go! Don't leave us here!
Jack: No, we just take them out of the equation.
Harry: You sure it'll hold?
Jack: It'll hold.
Harry: Six minutes.
Mac: I can't get any more time. He's not talkin'! I need the goddamn money now!
Jack: Tell me again, Harry. Why did I take this job?
Harry: Aw, come on. Thirty more years of this, you get a tiny pension and a cheap gold watch.
Jack 问 Harry “我们是不是认识干这事的人”，Harry 回答“I don’t recognize the work.”，意思就是从作案的情形上来看，“我没认出是谁干的”。
3. cut it close
Cut it close 也可以用作 cut it fine，在这里的意思是“（时间上）卡点儿（作某事），不多不少刚刚好（做某事）”。For instance, if you have to catch a train at 1 o'clock, and you arrive at the station at three minutes to one, you're "cutting it close". Cut it close 还可以表示“（金钱上）精打细算”，比如：I'm not going shopping today. I won't get paid for three days and I'd be cutting it close if I bought anything. 今天我不去购物。还有三天才发薪，如果我买了什么东西，就不得不精打细算啦。
4. pop quiz
A pop quiz is a quiz given without prior warning. 就是没有事先告知的测试，临时/突然考试。
