Roger: C'mon... c'mon!
Jaime: What's wrong?
Roger: We're pushing too much weight.
Jaime: Well, maybe it just needs a little help, huh?
Roger: Like another locomotive! Where're you going?
Jaime: (hops out of the cab) Open the throttle!
(Jaime pushes the train until it gets going)
Roger: Can I ask how you did that?
Jaime: No. (edit)
Roger: Everything seems to be okay. (tries pulling the deadman switch) Argh... I spoke too soon - the deadman's stuck.
Jaime: That's an encouraging name. What is it?
Roger: You have to... uh... hold it back while the train's going, or it comes to a stop. It was in case... uh...
Jaime: In case the engineer turned into a dead man? Here, lemme try. (pulls the deadman switch) There you go. See, it's easy. You'd be surprised what else I can do.
Roger: I'm afraid to ask! (edit)
Jaime: Max attacked me, and got my arm...
Roger: (stunned at the wires in her arm) Jaime!
Jaime: Oh, I'm sorry, Roger. I, I didn't want you to see this. Not all of me is like this, y'know... just... parts...
Roger: Well, what is it?
Jaime: It's bionics; I'll tell you about it later.
Roger: Max, too?
Jaime: Yeah. When he was running away from me, he... uh... apparently, when they shot him, it caused a short circuit in his jaw, and... uh... I guess the electricity's been affecting his mind. So I ripped on a couple of wires when he jumped on me... I guess that did it. (edit)
Jaime: Fire! That's what it is; that's what it's been all this time!
Roger: I don't understand.
Jaime: Max was caught in a lab fire when he was a little puppy, and that's what's making him so crazy all the time, is his fear of fire. I mean, you saw - the... the flames from the steaks made him run.
Roger: And... uh... he's been making you run.
Jaime: What?
Roger: I know about the APB. They called; they said that Max was dangerous, and that if he attacked, to shoot to kill. (edit)
Harley, as Max bends down to use his bionic mouth to release the bear trap: "No! Don't eat my foot! I need it!" (edit)

Trivia

add »
As Roger pets Max in his living room, he reminisces about a German Shephard he once had (Lobo) and says the line, "I learned more from life from him than, uh, anybody." The actor has apparently flubbed the line, because he used the wrong preposition ("from" instead of "about"), and because he pauses with "uh" in the middle of it as if he's caught off guard by his mistake, but trudges on through the line. Once again, I guess the director didn't think it was noticable enough to reshoot the scene. However, the line could have been written that way...and it was the writer that flubbed the line. (edit)
