- [after the Navy pilots have gotten their Morse Code message]
- David Grant: Jesus, they got it!
- Baker: [astounded] They got it?
- David Grant: They got it!
- Baker: I take back every rust-pickin', squid-hatin' thing I've ever said about swabbies!
- David Grant: Colonel, grab my hand!
- [Travis reaches his hand but falls back down]
- David Grant: Colonel, we're not gonna make it!
- Lt. Colonel Austin Travis: *You* are!
- [Travis shuts himself in and is sucked out of the plane to his death]
- [after ploughing through lots of light aircraft and runway lights and overshooting the runway on landing the 747]
- David Grant: These things almost land themselves, don't they?
- Nagi Hassan: Allah has chosen us for a task far greater than Jaffa's freedom. We are the true soldiers of Islam. Our destiny is to deliver the vengeance of Allah into the belly of the infidel.
- Ahmed: This has nothing to do with Islam. This is not Allah's will. You're blinded by hatred.
- David Grant: If you don't believe me, what are you doing up here?
- Lt. Colonel Austin Travis: Well... who the hell else is gonna do it? You?
- David Grant: Can you hook up a probe so that I can see into the main cabin on this monitor?
- Baker: No, we can't transmit between the probe and the monitor.
- David Grant: Would a video camera work?
- Baker: Yeah.
- David Grant: You got one?
- Baker: No.
- David Grant: It's over.
- Nagi Hassan: Over? It's not over.
- [Grant holds up the detonator]
- David Grant: It's over.
- Nagi Hassan: Who are you?
- David Grant: No one.
- Nagi Hassan: You're very clever, but you're too late. You've solved nothing.
- [fires his gun into the cockpit]
- [Rat is attempting to take command of the mission]
- David Grant: Look, I'm not telling you how to do your job, but if that DZ5 is on board, there's gonna be a bomb attached to it, and you goddamn well better find it!
- [on the ground, after Cahill helped defuse the bomb]
- David Grant: Cahill, I don't know how you did it, but you did it.
- Cahill: [shakes his head] No... you did it.
- [hands him the straw from his mouth]
- David Grant: What's this?
- Cahill: That's a memento for ya. Listen, I'll tell you all about it another time, but right now, I need a drink. A *big* drink.
- [one of the Navy planes tilts so its missiles are visible]
- 747 Captain: Jesus Christ. What the hell are they doing?
- 747 First Officer: They're getting ready to light us up.
- Nagi Hassan: I can see we're both men who truly understand the importance of making dramatic statements to the world.
- David Grant: There is no negotiating with Nagi Hassan, you understand? If he knew we were down here right now, he'd just kill us all!
- Cahill: We have to negotiate. We have to tell Hassan the Pentagon knows his plan and that he'll never be allowed to reach US airspace.
- David Grant: Cahill, calm down!
- Cahill: No, I'm fine. I know what I'm talking about here. We have to do this, it's our only chance. Guess what? They have GOT to listen!
- David Grant: It won't stop them.
- Rat: [Cahill attempts to climb the ladder out of the Avionics room but Rat and Grant pull him down] You ain't going anywhere fat boy!
- Cahill: I didn't sign up for this GI Joe bullshit!
