Quote #7

GRUBER: Please, God no. You're one of them, aren't you? You're one of them. Don't kill me, please!

Well, this was never part of the plan. When Gruber's checking on the detonators, he has no idea he's going to run into the fly in his ointment: one Mr. John McClane. Still, Gruber shows some rather impressive improv skills here, as he pretends to be an American hostage. As it turns out, he's pretty good on the fly, too.

Quote #8

GRUBER: Shoot the glass.

Smart move, Gruber. He knows McClane's barefoot, so a little broken glass is like cowboy cop kryptonite.

Quote #9

GRUBER: The circuits that cannot be cut are cut automatically in response to a terrorist incident. You asked for miracles, Theo. I give you the FBI.

Ah, so that was his plan all along? Most criminals don't want the FBI anywhere near their shenanigans, but for Gruber, they're essential. This guy has really covered every angle.
