## Mike Harrigan

* Hey, assholes!
* This is what I call the speech, kid. It's the only one I got and I only give it once, so pay attention. 'Til now, it's all been fun and games. "Cops and robbers," Dunkin Donuts. But you're in the shit now. Metro Command is a war zone.
* [after riding in a limo with Big Willie's thugs, who smoke heavily] You know, you guys really gotta cut down...
* Okay, pussyface, it’s your move!
* Shit... why can't this guy stay on the ground?
* [after killing the Predator, he finds himself surrounded by others] Okay... who's next?

## Tony Pope

* Tony Pope, live with Hardcore, on the scene and in your face! it's like Dante's Hell down here - smoke, fire, oppressive heat - as Columbian and Jamaican drug fiends once again transform the streets of L.A. into a slaughterhouse! Who the hell's in charge down here?! The cops? Uh-uh! They're outmanned, outgunned, and incompetent! Mr. Mayor, on vacation at your home in Lake Tahoe: get off your butt, get down here, and declare martial law!
* This is Tony Pope, live from L.A., the city of fear, where the psycho vigilante killer continues his daily diet for murder. Bodies strung out! Bodies with the skins ripped off! The hearts torn from the cadavers! And just recently, King Willie, the drug lord, the vicious drug lord, found in an alley just around the corner with his head cut off, and his spinal column torn from the body - a fitting demise to the Prince of Powder.

## Dialogue

    [First lines]
    Reporter: As drought-ridden Los Angeles swelters in agonizing heat, drug lords wage bloody warfare in the streets. Yet another open conflict-- [a bullet ricochets close by] Oh, fuck this, get me out of here!
    Leona Cantrell: I have heard about you.
    Jerry Lambert: Yeah?
    Cantrell: Yeah. Like your last partner got shot.
    Lambert: What?
    Cantrell: Well... [grabs Jerry's testicles] Try that cowboy shit with me, fucker, and you can kiss these goodbye.
    Jerry Lambert: [noticing footage on a subway public television of himself assaulting Tony Pope] H-Hey, it's me! I look great!
    Leona Cantrell: Oh, shut up.
    Lambert: [to elderly man recognizing him from the footage] No autographs, Pop.
    Lieutenant Mike Harrigan: Hey, what the hell's going on here, Heinemann?
    Captain Phil Heinemann: Insubordination, disregard for direct orders from a supervising officer! Now get back to your cage at Alvarado!
    Harrigan: I'll show you insubordination, you son of a bitch!
    Ramon Vega: [suspended naked from the ceiling] This is going too far now, huh? Hey, hey, guys... I-I-I know you're trying to scare me, yeah? Well, y-you did a pretty good job, man! I'm scared now! Stop it now. I can pay you. Two million dollars, man, in cash - right now!
    Gold Tooth: This is not about money. This is about power! There's a new king in the streets. This is a message he has for your people: you are history! Fucking history. Goddamn puto. [starts smearing Vega's body with chicken blood]
    Ramon Vega: What the fuck are you doing now, man?! You're crazy!
    Gold Tooth: King Willie says... not only do I have to kill you, but I have to take your soul. [chuckles] Voodoo magic. Fucking voodoo magic, man! [he and his cohorts laugh] But you know what? I tell you what I believe: shit happens!
    Lieutenant Mike Harrigan: [grabbing Keyes and violently pinning him against the wall] Listen, shithead. I don't give a fuck who you really are or what you want with this asshole... because now it's personal, and he's a dead man.
    Peter Keyes: The concept of what you're dealing with is way over your head. I'm warning you...
    Harrigan: You! [shoves Keyes back against the wall] You don't know what you're dealing with... and I'm warning you: stay the fuck out of my way!
    Brian: [playing with a toy gun] Take that, you scum-suckin' dog!
    [Brian runs into the camouflaged Predator stalking Harrigan. The creature targets Brian, but stands down upon seeing that he is just a child with a toy weapon.]
    Brian: Want some candy?
    Brian's Mother: Brian! You come here right this minute!
    Brian: [running back to her] Mommy, I saw a ghost!
    Predator: [playing back Brian's voice] "Want some candy?"
    Tony Pope: Hey, Harrigan! More victims, more mutilations!
    Lieutenant Mike Harrigan: [punches him] Fuck you!
    [Harrigan is brought to a command post run by Peter Keyes' CIA Other World Life Forms capture team]
    Peter Keyes: Goddamn, Harrigan! Don't you show up in the damnedest places? Come here, Lieutenant. I got something you might find interesting
    Lieutenant Mike Harrigan: What is this?
    Keyes: How many times do I have to tell you? You don't know what you're dealing with! [points to ghostly image on pheromone sensor display] There's your killer. Wonderful, isn't it? Pheromone signature left by his body. These are scent molecules. [to tech] Punch up three. Ten years ago, one of his kind stalked and eliminated an elite Special Forces crew in central America. There were two survivors. They indicated that when trapped, the creature activated a self-destruct device that destroyed enough rain forest to cover 300 city blocks. Remarkable weaponry. That's right, Lieutenant. Other-world life-forms.
    Harrigan: Huh?
    Keyes: A fucking alien. Iwo Jima, Cambodia, Beirut. Drawn by heat and conflict. He's on safari. Lions. The tigers. The bears. Oh, my!
    Harrigan: Trophies. That's the game, isn't it, Keyes?
    Keyes: You're the lion. This is his jungle.
    [Keyes explains the OWLF team's activity in a slaughterhouse]
    Peter Keyes: It's taken us over two weeks to learn his patterns. He comes here every two days to feed. Seems he has a taste for beef.
    Lieutenant Mike Harrigan: I didn't think he was a vegetarian.
    Peter Keyes: Well, we've prepared a little trap for this predator.
    [Mike removes the Predator's mask]
    Lieutenant Mike Harrigan: [whispering] You are one ugly motherfu--
    Second Predator: [grabs Mike by the throat] Motherfucker! [throws him]
    [Harrigan chases the Predator runs through an old woman's apartment]
    Lieutenant Mike Harrigan: It's all right! I'm a cop!
    Ruth: I don't think he gives a shit!
    [last lines]
    Garber: Harrigan! What the fuck happened in there?! Huh?! Goddamn it. We came so close!
    Lieutenant Mike Harrigan: Don't worry, asshole. You'll get another chance.

## About Predator 2

* "Broad concept's the same. The difference is, this is a different individual. A different individual of the same species. As is a snake is a snake, but different snakes are different. Their colorings are different, different parts of their characteristics, their facial structures, subtle differences."
** Stan Winston The Making of Predator 2 (Documentary). 20th Century Fox. 1990.
