XANDER: I know what you're thinkin'. Can I get by him? Get up the stairs, out of the building, seconds ticking away... I don't love your chances.
JACK: Then you'll die, too.
XANDER: (raises his eyebrows) Yeah, looks like. So I guess the question really is... who has less fear?
JACK: I'm not afraid to die. I'm already dead.
XANDER: Yeah, but this is different. Being blowed up isn't walking around and drinking with your buddies dead. It's little bits being swept up by a janitor dead, and I don't think you're ready for that.
(Jack tries to leave but Xander blocks him. Xander is calm. Jack is clearly afraid.)
JACK: Are you?
XANDER: (glances at the bomb, smiles thinly) I like the quiet.
(Jack and Xander face off, the bomb timer counts down. Both are taking deep breaths. At the last second Jack caves and deactivates the bomb.)
XANDER: Good boy.
