              True Lies (1994)



267   INT. TORTURE ROOM - NIGHT

Samir lifts Harry's head and sees that he is pretty shitfaced.

SAMIR
                    Is there anything you would like
                    to tell me before we start?

HARRY
                    Yes.  I'm going to kill you
                    pretty soon.

SAMIR
                     (calmly preparing his
                          instruments)
                    I see.  How exactly?

SAMIR
                    Well, I thought I'd break your
                    neck, then use you as a human
                    shield, then kill the guard with
                    that knife there on your table
                    and take his gun.

Samir approaches Harry with a long steel needle probe.

SAMIR
                         (humoring Harry)
          And what makes you think you can do all that?

HARRY
          Because I picked the lock on these handcuffs...

He holds them up to show Samir.  Then he explodes out of the
          chair-- Breaks the torturer's neck-- Spins him between himself
          and the guard-- Who then hesitates to fire-- Giving Harry the
          split second he needs to grab the knife from the table and
          throw it into the guard's eye, killing him instantly.

Helen is flat blown away.  Wow.  It only took a few seconds for
          Harry to reverse the situation.  Her Harry!  He picks up the
          guard's 9mm pistol and staggers over to her.
