Ron Canada: Cop in Times Square
Quotes
-
Cop in Times Square : Look, put yourself in your kid's shoes. Where would you go? What would you do?
Kate McCallister : I'd probably be lying dead in a gutter somewhere... but not Kevin, Kevin is so much stronger and braver than I am. But he's still a kid lost in a big city, he doesn't deserve that. He should be at home with his family around his Christmas tree... oh my God, I know where he is, I need to get to Rockefeller Center immediately.

Kate McCallister : [Knocking on Cop's car window, shows him a picture of Kevin] I'm looking for my son. Have you seen my son? He's... there. He's been missing for two days.
Cop in Times Square : Well, have you filed a report, ma'am?
Kate McCallister : Yes, of course we have.
Cop in Times Square : [Handing her wallet back to her] Then trust us. We'll handle it.
Kate McCallister : But I'm his mother.
Cop in Times Square : I realize that, ma'am, but you're looking for a needle in a haystack.
Kate McCallister : Do you have kids?
Cop in Times Square : Yes, ma'am.
Kate McCallister : And what would you do if one of them was missing?
Cop in Times Square : [Realizing her point] I'd probably be doing the same thing you're doing.
Kate McCallister : Thank you.
Cop in Times Square : Look, put yourself in your kid's shoes. Where would you go? What would you do?
Kate McCallister : Me? I'd probably be lying dead in the gutter somewhere. Oh, but not Kevin. Kevin is so much stronger and braver than I am and I know Kevin's fine, I know he is. But he's still all by himself in a big city and he doesn't deserve that. He deserves to be at home with his family, around his Christmas tree.
[Realizes where Kevin might be]
Kate McCallister : Oh, dear God. I know where he is. I need to get to Rockefeller Center.
Cop in Times Square : [Smiles and happily obliges to give her a ride] Hop in.
Kate McCallister : Thank you.
