Funny / In the Line of Fire

• This Multitasked Conversation:
  Frank Horrigan: Go ahead and shoot, dammit.
  Lilly Raines: They can't see inside. If they fire, you'll be hit.
  Mitch Leary: I want you to thank me first, Frank.
  Horrigan: Shut up and shoot.
  Lilly: All right, Frank.
  Mitch: All right, Frank.
  Lilly: Shooters, stand by to fire. Wait for my command.
  Mitch: [Cocks the gun] Sleep well, my friend.
  Horrigan: Just one thing: aim high.
  Mitch: What?
  Lilly: Aim high.
  Horrigan: Now!
  Mitch: [Sees the microphone and realizes Horrigan has been talking to Raines] You bastard!
• When Mitch is losing it after Frank reveals he knows all about him:
  Mitch: Do you know how easily I could kill you, Frank? Do you know how many times I watched you go in and out of that apartment? You are still alive because I have allowed you to live, so you show me some GODDAMN RESPECT! [slams phone down]
• Horrigan taking off all his gear to have sex with Lilly, when they're interrupted by a call to a meeting. "Now I've got to put all that shit back on, goddammit!"
• The exchange about "panache".
  Lily Raines: What makes you think he'll call again?
  Frank Horrigan: Oh, he'll call again. He's got, uh, "panache."
  Raines: Panache?
  Horrigan: Yeah, it means flamboyance.
  Raines: Mm, I know what it means.
  Horrigan: Really? I had to look it up.
• "I know things about pigeons, Lily."
• Lily asks Frank what he's looking at when she catches him staring at her in a flattering evening gown:
  Frank: I was wondering where you hide your firearm. Don't tell me — let me guess.
• "You have a rendezvous with my ass, motherfucker!"
• It's very darkly amusing listening to the Democratic organization leader gush over Leary, whose alternate persona has been making substantial contributions, and happily present him with a dinner ticket for a seat "just a stone's throw away from the President!", completely unaware of what Leary's planning.
