Independence Day quotes
Page 3 of 8Hey, all right, look at us! Take a look at the Earthlings. Good-bye!
Y'all take care, all right! 'Nothing but love for ya. Nothing by love for ya. [to David] You think they have any clue what's about to happen to 'em?
I was counting on this. They are bringing us in.
When the hell was you gonna tell me?
Oops.
We're going to work on our communication.
They're chasing us!
Oh, really, YOU THINK?
You really think you can fly that thing?
You really think you can do all that bullshit you just said?
Is that glass bulletproof?
Major Mitchell No, sir. [Shoots glass]
There you go, there you go, thinking you're all that. But you are not as charming as you think you are, sir.
Yes, I am.
David, see if they got those pens that they give away.
Dad, what?
What's the matter with you?
Genius.
He's your son?
He's my angel.
Was his father stationed here?
Nah, he, uh, he wasn't his father. But I was kinda hopin' he wanted the job, though.
I didn't know that you'd recognized me.
Well, I didn't wanna say nothing. I voted for the other guy.

A countdown…wait, a countdown to what, David?
Uh, it's like in chess: First, you strategically position your pieces and when the timing is right you… strike. See? They're positioning themselves all over the world using this signal to synchronize their efforts. In approximately six hours the signal's gonna disappear and the countdown's gonna be over.
Marty Gilbert
And then what?
Checkmate.

Oh, my God. Oh my God! I gotta call my brother, I'd better call my housekeeper, I gotta call my lawyer. Nah, forget my lawyer.
Marty
David! David, what the hell's the point of having a beeper if you aren't even gonna turn it on?!?!
It was turned on, I was ignoring you. Hello, what's the uh... what's the big emergency?
Marty
It started this morning, every station's making like it's the 1950s... we got static, we got snow, all kinds of distortions!
Wait! Marty-
Marty
Nobody even knows-
.....What the hell are you doin'? There's a reason we have... bins labeled recycle! What the hell's goin' on?! My god in heaven!
Marty
So sue me, DAVID! We have a problem!
Patricia Whitmore
Happy Fourth of July, Daddy.
President Whitmore
Same to you, Munchkin.
President Whitmore
I don't understand, where does all this come from? How do you get funding for something like this?
You don't actually think they spend $20,000 on a hammer, $30,000 on a toilet seat, do you?
