Quotes7

  • Gen. Gray: Are you all right?
  • President Thomas Whitmore: I saw... its 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. Nuke 'em. Let's nuke the bastards.
  • Julius Levinson: Hey, hey, hey, don't you tell him to shut up! You'd all be dead now if it weren't for my David! None of you did anything to prevent this!
  • Gen. Gray: There was nothing we could do! We were totally unprepared for...
  • Julius Levinson: AAAHHH, don't give me unprepared! You knew about this for years! What,with that spaceship you found in New Mexico! What was it called... Roswell, New Mexico! And that other place... uh... Area 51, Area 51! You knew then! And you did nothing!
  • President Thomas Whitmore: Mr. Levinson, contrary to what you may have read in the tabloids, there is no Area 51. There is no spaceship...
  • Albert Nimzicki: Uh... excuse me, Mr. President? That's not entirely accurate.
  • David Levinson: What, which part?
  • Gen. Gray: Mr. President, I'd sure like to know what you're doing.
  • President Thomas Whitmore: I'm a combat pilot, Will. I belong in the air.
  • President Thomas Whitmore: Atlanta, Chicago, and Philadelphia. Destroyed.
  • Gen. Gray: We've learned that NATO and western Allied installations were the first to be taken out. Then we were hit. They knew exactly where and how to hit us,
  • President Thomas Whitmore: And our forces?
  • Gen. Gray: We're down to 15 percent. If you calculate the time it takes to destroy a city and move on, we're looking at the worldwide destruction of every major city in the next 36 hours.
  • President Thomas Whitmore: We're being exterminated.
  • Gen. Gray: Get on the wire, tell them how to bring those sons of bitches down.
  • Gen. Gray: [indicating the glass panel in front of the alien, who has taken control of President Whitmore's mind] Is that glass bulletproof?
  • Major Mitchell: No, Sir!
  • [pull out their guns and starts blasting the alien through the glass]
  • Gen. Gray: As the former head of the CIA, you knew about this place. When were you planning on informing the rest of us?
  • Albert Nimzicki: It had been deemed classified.
  • Gen. Gray: You should've told us about this when they first arrived. You should've warned us before we launched a counter attack that cost us the lives of hundreds of American pilots!
  • Albert Nimzicki: There's no way we could have known that our fighters would've been not that effective against their attackers.
