Deciding the Next Move Home
Cowboy
Okay, what are we gonna do now?
Swan
We're going back.
Vermin
You mind tellin us how? Fuckin Coney Island must be 50 to 100 miles from here!
Swan
It's the only choice we got.
Cochise
Yeah, real simple. Except that every cop in this city is lookin to bust our heads.
Swan
We got somethin else to think about.
Vermin
Yeah, what?
Snow
The truce. Is it still on?
Vermin
If it ain't, we're gonna have to bop our way back!
Cowboy
Shit, I wish we was packed.
Swan
If this truce is off, anything could hit us between here and that train. If you get separated, make it to the platform at Union Square. That's where we change trains.

I only got one question. Who named you leader? I got as much right to take over as you.

It was Cleon's choice; Swan's war chief.
Ajax
Well, right about now, Cleon's most likely got a nightstick shoved halfway up his ass! Shit. I bet you can't even find the subway.
[laughs]

Maybe we ought to talk about this later, huh?
Ajax
Well, what's wrong with right now? I wanna be Warlord.
Swan
Make your move.
Cowboy
Hey Ajax, lighten up.
Vermin
Hey Big Boy, Swan's war chief.
Cochise
We better stick together.
