1 quoteNight Shift Responsibilities Clarified Among Characters
Bud Boomer
All right, Pops, who's in charge?
Pops
Just the two of us, just Ruthie and me.
Kabral Jabar
No other personnel in the whole building?
Ruthie
No, we're the night shift.
Roy Boy
Excuse me, ma'am, there's not another control room?
Ruthie
No, dear. This is it.
Roy Boy
Thank you.
Kabral Jabar
Boomer, maybe we better just go, huh?
Bud Boomer
Stand your ground, soldier!
Kabral Jabar
Oh, brother.
Bud Boomer
Now, let me get this straight. You're telling me that you two are responsible for supplying all the electricity to your entire nation?
Pops
That's about the size of it.
Ruthie
Oh, Dad. Does he ever like to brag.
Bud Boomer
Put those needles down, nice and easy, where I can see them. Spread out! Find the power source for the Mountie Headquarters. I'm going to ask you one more time. Where is the power switch to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Headquarters? You're going to tell me sooner or later. Now, we can do it my way, which is very nice right now, or we can do it their way, which you're not going to like. You Canadians are so sneaky!
[after a pause, Boomer notices a red switch on the wall]
Ruthie
Don't touch that! You'll black out most of Canada!
Bud Boomer
Yeah, right. Lady, what do we look like, jerks? Please.
[chuckles; switches the switch off, cutting the power off]
Kabral Jabar
Oh, you screwed up now.
Bud Boomer
I'll be the judge of the one who screwed up! All right, let's move out! And you, don't tell anybody we was here! Come on!
[the power is also cut off from various cities of Canada, including Toronto and Ottawa; the guys leave the control room]
Ruthie
You know, I could get to like this.
Pops
Really?
