Independence Day quotes
Page 6 of 8I have GOT to get me one of these!
I saw... his thoughts. I saw what they're planning to do. They're like locusts, they're moving from planet to planet, their whole civilization. After they've consumed every natural resource, they move on. And we're next. [Major Mitchell shoot the alien in the head] Nuke 'em. Let's nuke the bastards.
I'm a combat pilot, Will. I belong in the air.
If I knew I was gonna meet the president I would've worn a tie. I mean, look at me, I look like a schliemiel.
Isn't it amazing how quickly everyone can turn against you.
It's Air Force One, for crying out loud, and still he gets sick! Look at me, like a rock. Could be bad weather could be good weather, doesn't matter. We could go up, we could go down, we could go back, we could go forward, we could go side to side. [David runs away, about to throw up] What-what did I say?

Mr President your primary target has shifted course and I think our Secrets out! they are heading straight for us!
Must go faster. Must go faster. Must go faster! Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go! [Note: Jeff Goldblum also said this line in Jurassic Park.]
My fellow Americans, a historic and unprecedented event has occurred. The question of whether or not we're alone in the universe has been answered. Although it's understandable that many of us feel hesitation or fear, we must attempt to reserve judgment. Panic seen occurring all over the world has caused undue injury and loss of life. This is not how we as Americans should react to what is one of the most significant events in the history of the world. Rest assure we are proceeding with extreme caution. Yet we have to consider the opportunities for ourselves, our children, future generations. These opportunities are vast, very exciting until today totally inconceivable. My staff and I will remain in the White House as we attempt to establish communication. If you feel compelled to leave these cities, please do so in an orderly fashion. According to the adjusted trafficking patterns, civil defense procedures are underway to assure the safety for all those who remain. These are uncertain but exciting times.
