Olympus Has Fallen quotes
General Clegg I have no interest in your nuclear launch codes. By now, your Pentagon has changed them, no? Sit.
President Asher
[Forbes and one of Kang's terrorists sits Asher down]
You from the North? You sure as hell are not from the South.
I'm working for justice, to give millions of starving men, women, and children a chance at more than just subsistence. To end the civil war your country interrupted so long ago. And yes, for a united, prosperous Korea.
Dave Forbes It's a whole new world, baby.
President Asher
What's the going rate for souls these days?
Dave Forbes What do you say to me?
President Asher
I never would've taken you for a traitor.
Dave Forbes Me? What about you? You sold this country out long before I ever did. Globalization and ****in' Wall Street! What's the cost to a presidency nowadays anyway, huh? $500 million? I'm a ****in' rookie compared to you!
President Asher
[Asher head-butts Forbes in the face]
Gotta keep your gloves up, Forbes.
[Forbes prepares to strike back]
Enough! [in Korean, to another of his men] Find the boy, his name is Connor.
President Asher
[not quite understanding]
What about Connor? WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU GONNA DO TO MY SON?!
I read your Bible, Mr. President. It says "the wages of sin is death".
President Asher
You better keep that in mind.
Lynn Jacobs Banning is ex-Special Forces, Ranger battalion. He will move mountains or die trying! I know him!
[walking in front of the heavily damaged White House, and over dead bodies of their colleagues]
Sorry about the house, sir.
President Asher
It's ok. I believe it's insured.
News Reporter
Not since the British burned down the White House in the War of 1812 has an enemy force occupied the center of American power.
Lynn Jacobs [House Speaker Allan Trumbull enters the Pentagon Crisis Room. U.S. Secret Service Director Lynn Jacobs, General Clegg, and other members of the Pentagon rise]
Mr. Speaker, as both the President and the Vice president of the United States are unable to discharge the duties of their offices, I'm officially placing you under Secret Service protection
Lynn Jacobs [Two Secret Service agents stand behind Speaker Trumbull]
You are the Acting President of the United States.
Are they alive?
Lynn Jacobs They are.
Ray Monroe [Trumbull processes all of this, then takes a seat and signals all the staff to be seated]
Sir, North Korea is denying any involvement in the attack.
General Clegg We've secured the perimeter of the White House and cleared a 10-block radius.
Lynn Jacobs Sir, they've also assassinated the South Korean Prime Minister.
[Mike appears on the PEOC's screen, stunning Kang]
What's the matter, Kang? You look like you've seen a ghost. I guess you don't know who you can trust, huh? It's over. No more televised executions, no chopper, no more negotiating with you and the United People's Front of Who Gives a ****.
I will send the President out... one piece at a time.
It won't matter. Because whatever you think you accomplished, you won't be alive to see it.
Shut him down.
[as Lim tries unsuccessfully to disconnect him]
You're not shutting me down, Kang. I'm here to stay.
I underestimated you. It will not happen again.
There is no "again". You're gonna die down there alone, cut off from the rest of the world. My advice? Save the last bullet for yourself. 'Cause if you don't, I'm gonna stick my knife through your brain. But don't worry, I'm gonna leak the photos of your body to the press. You know, 'cause I know you like that kind of shit. [ends the transmission]
[Mike continues sneaking through the tunnels] [static]
Agent Banning. Yes, I know who you are. Welcome to my house.
You are the one who let the First Lady die, no? And soon, the President. Failure seems to be a habit with you.
Yeah, well, maybe I owe you for giving me the chance for making up for that today.
I admire you for acknowledging your failure. But there's no going back. Nothing you try and do here tonight can atone.
Yeah, maybe not. But I reckon **** your shit up would be a pretty good start. You might wanna take a head count. The bodies are piling up.
I have more than enough men to finish the mission.
Oh, and by the way, if you're looking for Connor, he's on his way to the baseball game.
How's your wife, Michael? Leah. She's a nurse. Saves lives. Too bad she will not save yours.
You know what? How about you and I play a game of **** Off. You go first. [hangs up]
Agent Roma [Agent Roma is the last Secret Service agent left alive in the White House. He crawls on his hands and knees.] [weakly; into his radio microphone]
Olympus has fallen! Olympus has fallen! Olympus has fallen!
Agent Roma [A terrorist prepares to shoot Roma. Roma flips to the supine position and kicks the terrorist behind the knee, causing him to stumble.]
**** YOU!
Command Post Agent
[Roma shoots the terrorist though the head with his pistol. Another terrorist unloads his submachine gun into Roma, killing him. At the Command Post, an agent sees that the last active agent is dead.] [disbelieving]
They've taken the White House...
[last lines]
We've lost good friends, family. All good people. Heroes, every one of them. Our thoughts and prayers go out to their families. And they will be remembered, nor will we forget those who served out of the spotlight, to whom we owe our highest gratitude. Our foe did not come only to destroy our things or our people, they came to desecrate a way of life. To foul our beliefs, to trample our freedom. And in this, not only did they fail, they gave us the greatest gift: a chance at our rebirth. We will rise, renewed, stronger and united. This is our time. Our chance to get back to the best of who we are. To lead by example with the honor, dignity and integrity that built this country, and which will build it once again. May God bless you. And may God bless these United States of America.
Classified? Really? Well right now I believe I have the proverbial need to ****in' know.
I want to reassure the American people, and everyone in the world, that despite today's events, our government remains 100% functional. We know that the President is alive. To our friends, we are grateful for your loyalty and support. As a nation, we're never stronger than when tested. We will remain united and strong. God bless you all. And God bless the United States of America.
It takes 15 minutes for your armed forces to reach the White House. We took it in thirteen.
There is a saying in Korea; saying something a hundred times is not as good as living it once.
