| President Thomas J. Whitmore: |
In less than an hour, aircraft from here will
join others from around the world. And, you will be launching
the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind,"
that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We
can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will
be united in our common interest. Perhaps, it's fate that
today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting
for our freedom--not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution,
but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live--to
exist. And, should we win the day, the Fourth of July will
no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day
when the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly
into the night. We will not vanish, without a fight. We're
going to live on. We're going to survive. Today, we celebrate
our Independence Day!" |

Forget the fat lady. You're obsessed with the
fat lady. |

Left, left, tunnel, tunnel, exit, exit, left. |

Where the Hell do you think I'm going? |

| David Levinson: |
Must go faster. Must go faster. |

| Capt. Steven Hiller: |
[T]his was supposed to be my weekend off, but
no. You got me out here dragging your heavy ass through the
desert, with your dreadlocks sticking out the back of my parachute.
You got to come down here with an attitude, acting all big
and bad. And, what the Hell is that smell?! |

| David Levinson: |
Time's up. |

| Capt. Steven Hiller: |
I have got to get me one of these! |

| Capt. Steven Hiller: |
What do you say we try that again? |
| David Levinson: |
Yes, yes, yes, without the oops. |

| Capt. Steven Hiller: |
[M]ake sure your seat-backs and tray-tables
are is their upright and locked position. |
| ----- |
| David Levinson: |
Don't do that. |
| Capt. Steven Hiller: |
Just trying to get a feel for the old girl,
that's all. |
| David Levinson: |
No, no, don't. Leave her alone. |

| President Thomas J. Whitmore: |
Let's plow the road. |

| Capt. Steven Hiller: |
You think they have any clue what's about to
happen to them? |
| David Levinson: |
Not a chance in Hell. |

Elvis has left the building! |
