Independence Day quotes
Page 8 of 8You really think you can fly that thing?
You really think you can do all that bullshit you just said?
Mr President we got an AWAC off the coast eta to target 4 minutes.
What's the matter with you?
Genius.
[Julius drinks from a styrofoam cup]
Hey, you have any idea how long it takes for those cups to decompose?
If you don't move [your chess piece] soon, I'm gonna start to decompose.
Your out of time! You got to disable it now!
[having arrived at Area 51 with his alien and a fleet of refugees, Steven talks to General Grey]
Sir, I'm really anxious to get back to El Toro.
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.
