A scene from Armageddon 1998
Rockhound

[after the asteroid landing goes wrong]

We're in segment 202, lateral grid 6, site 15H32-give or take a few yards. Captain American here blew the landing by 26 miles!

Col. Sharp

How the hell do you know that?

Rockhound

Because I'm a genius.

Watts

The gauges will not read. They're all peaked like we're plugged into some magnetic field.

Rockhound

[sarcastically]

Who on this spaceship wants to know why?

Gruber

By all means.

Rockhound

The reason we were shooting for grid 8 was because thermographics indicated that grid 9 was compressed iron ferrite…which means you've landed us on a goddamn iron plate!
