[David, Connie, Grey, and Nimzicki are all taking at once, after David objects to them using nuclear weapons]
Shut up! Captain, get him out of here!
Hey, don't tell him to shut up! You'd all be dead now if it wasn't for my David! None of you did anything to prevent this!
There was nothing we could do! We were totally unprepared for this.
Oh don't give me "unprepared"! It was, what? In the nineteen- what, fifties. Whatever You had that spaceship.
Dad.
Yeah, that thing you found in New Mexico. Where was that?
Dad, not the spaceship.

Sir…I don't know.
David? Area 51, right? Area 51! You knew then! And you did nothing!
President Whitmore
Sir, regardless of what you may have read in the tabloids, there has never been any spacecraft recovered by our government. Take my word for it. There's no Area 51. There's no recovered spaceship.
Uh…excuse me, Mr. President. That's not entirely accurate.
What, which part?

But that wasn't enough, was it?
I understand you are upset over the death of your wife, but that's no excuse for making another fatal mistake.
President Whitmore
No, the only mistake I ever made to appoint a sniveling little weasel like you as Secretary of Defense!

HOWEVER, that is one mistake, I am thankful to say, that I don't have to live with.
Mr. President-
