The Towering Inferno Quote

Doug Roberts: [on security phone with Wes] Doug - I'm up on 83 with Will. Listen, we got a little wiring problem. If we've got an overload it could be trouble. Shut down as many of the Zone One systems as you can.
Wes: I'm afraid I can't do that, Mr. Roberts. We've got all the lights on for the dedication ceremony.
Doug Roberts: [in disbelief] All... you mean the whole building?
Wes: Well, we're taking the overload just fine.
Doug Roberts: [sharply] Well shut it down, right away!
Wes: But I can't do that without a direct okay from Mr. Duncan himself.
Doug Roberts: I'll accept the responsibility for that. Just turn off the goddamned lights!
Wes: What about the lights in the tower for the party?
Doug Roberts: I didn't say kill all the power, just the overload!
Wes: Yes sir, Mr. Roberts.
