• Louis Strack Jr. : Robert, I have good news and bad.

  Robert Durant : Custom dictates that you render the bad news first.

  Louis Strack Jr. : We have a little problem with Miss Hastings. It appears she has uncovered our alliance.

  Robert Durant : No problem at all. And the good news?

  Louis Strack Jr. : Your wife died.

  [Busts out laughing] 

  Louis Strack Jr. : I'm joking, of course. No. The good news is that I know who's behind our little troubles of late. When you retrieved my memorandum, you failed to excise the good doctor.

  Robert Durant : Westlake? He's extinct. I saw to it myself.

  Louis Strack Jr. : He's alive. I don't like loose ends, Robert. Finish it.

  Robert Durant : Where is he?

  Louis Strack Jr. : I believe we have a guide.

• Louis Strack Jr. : You truly are one ugly son of a bitch!

• Louis Strack Jr. : [dangling from the top of a skyscraper under construction. Darkman holds his leg]  Go ahead, do it! Do it, Westlake! But think of this; You let me die and you become as bad as me. Worse! Ha ha. You can't! I know you too well. Dropping me, it's not really an option for you. It's not something you can live with.

  [Darkman lets Strack's leg go causing him to plummet to his death. Strack screams as he falls] 

  Darkman : I'm learning to live with a lot of things.

• Louis Strack Jr. : I'm glad you survived, Robert. I'd hate to see your kids deprived of a role model.

  Robert Durant : They do look up to me.

  Louis Strack Jr. : When I was young, my father made me work high steel. Just me and the indians, no-one else crazy enough to run around up here against the wind. $4.50 an hour. Call me crazy, sometimes I miss it! Life on the edge! Five inches wide, six-hundred-fifty feet down! High Steel! Oh, by the way, you don't have any kids, Robert.

  [Strack pulls off a mask on Durant's face to reveal it is Darkman posing as Durant. Julie screams] 

  Louis Strack Jr. : Ha ha ha ha. You truly are one ugly son of a bitch. What do you think, Julie? Who's the real monster here? I destroy, to build something better! Whereas you? You're a man who destroys for revenge! Look! Look about you! It's all mine! Because I built it! I built it all!

• Louis Strack Jr. : High Steel!

• Louis Strack Jr. : What do you think, Julie? Who's the real monster here? I destroy, to build something better! Whereas you? You're a man who destroys for revenge! Look! Look about you! It's all mine! Because I built it! I built it all!

• [repeated line] 

  Louis Strack Jr. : I'm joking of course!
