Major Caldwell
- F-15 Fighter Pilot 'Halo 2': Sir, pull up! You've got one on your tail.
- President James Marshall: Get him off my tail!
- F-15 Fighter Pilot 'Halo 2': Missile away. Air Force One. Break left and climb!
- Major Caldwell: Sir, we've lost countermeasures.
- F-15 Fighter Pilot 'Halo 2': This is Halo-2. They've lost countermeasures. I'm going in.
- [takes the missile for Air Force One]
- Chief of Staff Lloyd Shepherd: Who's down there in the baggage deck? The Russians said it's a secret service agent. Who?
- Agent Gibbs: We have no idea sir.
- Chief of Staff Lloyd Shepherd: Melanie was shot because one of your men wouldn't show himself. I want to know who the son of a bitch he is.
- Agent Gibbs: We'd like to know ourselves.
- Major Caldwell: Sir, it's someone who is smart enough to know if you're hunting with one bullet, you wait for a clean shot.
- Chief of Staff Lloyd Shepherd: What are you saying, Major?
- Major Caldwell: I am saying sir, whoever that is down there, he may be our only hope.
- Chief of Staff Lloyd Shepherd: Our only hope is that Washington complies with this bastard. Because any minute now another one of us is dead. And you know what? I'm afraid it might be me.
- Major Caldwell: [the Liberty 24 pararescue team only has time for one more retrieval] Mr. President, it's time to get you off this plane!
