Rogue: Get in. 'Fore I change my mind. Rogue: Johnny, remember the plan?

Johnny: Get the payload on the elevator, arm it, let gravity do its thing. Explosion rocks the foundation, tower crumbles - chaos, screaming, roll credits.

Rogue: Exit window's gonna be tight. Rogue: Johnny payload.

[Johnny plants the bomb into the elevator.]

Rogue: Wrap it up, we gotta delta!

Johnny: The "Demolitron" - we're good to blow.

Thompson: 'Saka elites incoming! Run for it!

Rogue: Get the fuck out of there, Johnny! Shoot the cables! Get the rotors spinning! We're on our way!

Johnny: Not done yet still need to feed this to their subnet. Johnny: Gonna give good cop over there a chance to say something? C'mooon…

[The agent hits Johnny right in the nuts.]

Agent: Which terrorist organization do you belong to? How did you acquire fissile material?

[An old man enters.]

Johnny: Hey, gramps. I know you.

Saburo: 外せ (Leave us.) 直接話をする (I wish to look him in the eye.)

Johnny: Hot damn - done and gone.

Techie: My husband died in that tower. But there are fates worse than death…

[He puts a tech halo on Johnny’s head.]

Johnny: I didn't want him to die.

Saburo: なぜ・・・ このようなことを? (Why did you do this?)

Techie: Why did you do this?

Johnny: To bring an end to the madness you wreak.

Johnny: Gotta get out of here, understand? And I kill anyone who gets in my way. You included.

[Some guy drags Johnny off the stage to the backstage.]

Kerry: Johnny?! The fuck, holmes? Outta line! Way out! What next? Where you gonna take it? Gonna drag a corporat on stage, make him kneel, douse him with gas, then light 'im up? It's not YOUR band. You're no solo act. Gonna crash, man, and pull all of us down, too.

Johnny: You kinda are, though. Only one to have a problem with me.

Kerry: 'Cause everyone else has had it up to here. They're done thinking they can get through to you. You're fucking whacked!

Johnny: You know exactly why I do it.

Kerry: No, nuh-uh! To piss Arasaka off enough so they'll give you a case of deep-muscle lead poisoning?

Johnny: But I'm the only one with a vision. So unless you got a better one, like I said - Go Fuck. Your. Self.

[He slams the door and walks into the dressing room where Alt is already waiting for him. Johnny takes some pills.]

Johnny: Fuck!

Alt Cunningham: Is it the concert or Kerry?

Johnny: Hm? Said you weren't coming tonight. Not If I can help it.

Alt Cunningham: Changed my mind, lover. Look at you… all hot and bothered.

[They have some sexy time together.]

Alt Cunningham: Goodness, gracious, me…

Johnny: Mmmhm.

Alt Cunningham: A damn shame that's that.

Johnny: What, smoking after sex not Zen enough for you? We gotta rewrite "The Art of War," too?

Alt Cunningham: We're done, Johnny, with it all. I just… couldn't ghost without saving… something.

Johnny: So go on - say it.

Alt Cunningham: You can be such a bastard sometimes, Johnny.

Johnny: Man, are you on my ass today.

Alt Cunningham: Not just today. How is it subtlety goes so for over your head? Weird for artist.

Johnny: Things were swimmin’… What, change your mind? Eats at my gut. 'Cause you knew what you were signin' up for.

Alt Cunningham: Look. If you were just another charismatic, narcissistic douchecanoe running around after his dream with his head up his ass, I couldn't care less.

Johnny: But?
