[To reporter, about Russell]
When they took him up in the spaceship, the aliens abused him...sexually.
Now we know how to take them out General! Spread the word!
Alright Mr President here we go! Alright Baby I got You! Payback's a bitch, ain't it?
Good morning. [Turns on mic] Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world, and you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. Mankind. That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom… Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution… but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice: We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!
Dr. Okun Mr. President! Wow! This is…what a pleasure. As you can imagine, they…they don't let us out much.
John McLaughlin
The visitors have arrived, but the president remains at the White House. Question: Are Mr. Whitmore's actions A, ultra-brave or B, fool-hardy?
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!
I don't think you understand-
President Whitmore
HOWEVER, that is one mistake, I am thankful to say, that I don't have to live with.
Mr. President-
President Whitmore
Mr. Nimzicki… you're fired.
Well, he just, um, did.
'All you need is love.' John Lennon, smart man, shot in the back - very sad.
Phillip [To Alicia Casse]
This could be our last night on earth. You don't want to die a virgin, do you?
Elvis Enthusiast
Oh, I hope they bring back Elvis!
I gave it a cold… I gave it a virus. A computer virus.
Burly Soldier [Steve sees an unattended helicopter and gets in] [Pointing his gun at him]
What the hell are you doing? Get out of there!
Look, I got something I gotta handle, I'm just borrowing it.
Burly Soldier No you're not, Sir
Do you really want to shoot me?
[Pause, then he lowers the gun]
Just tell 'em I hit you
