Primeval Quote

Lester: You've had your chance to surrender, Leek.
Leek: I still have twelve creatures out there. One command from me, and there'll be absolute chaos.
Lester: Oh, Cutter didn't tell you? That clever little virus of his sent us the contents of your hard disk. We've got names, locations, all sorts of useful stuff. We're just mopping up the last of your menagerie now. Oh, and Jenny just phoned. You have... oh, just a few minutes before we join you. Now if you don't mind, I think there's some snooker on the other channel.
Leek: [furious] Have you ever seen a man torn in half on live TV, Lester!? Call a halt to your men, or I shall order the creatures to dismantle Professor Cutter, joint by joint!
Lester: [coldly] The government does not negotiate with terrorists!
Leek: 30 seconds, then they kill him! Your choice!
Nick: James, don't do it, I'm not important!
Leek: Ten! Nine! Eight...
Lester: Unfortunately, I agree with Professor Cutter. No individual's life is worth greater than the safety of the public...
Leek: [boredly] Seven! Six! Five! Four! Three! Two-!
[At the last moment, NIck places the neural clamp into a circuit box. The electricity short-circuits all the devices, releasing the predators from Leek's control. As Cutter escapes, the predators descend en masse and tear Leek apart, watched by Lester and his staff]
Lester: [emotionlessly] Switch that off, will you?
