Command has attempted to compile a list of casualties and losses, but information is sketchy at best. Well, we know we've lost the Belgian contingent in the Sinai. There's a strong possibility there may be more reinforcements hiding in the Golan Strait. [Speaking Arabic] What the hell's he saying? It seems they're getting a signal. Old Morse code.

How did you do that? I gave it a cold. I gave it a virus. A computer virus. Are you telling us you can send out a signal that will disable all their shields? That's right. Just like they used our satellites against us, we can use their own signal against them. If we plant a virus into that mother ship, it's gonna then filter down into all the corresponding ships below. I--I'm sorry. I don't understand. Just how, exactly, do we infect the mother ship with this virus? Well... we're going to, uh... have to, um, ahem, fly their alien craft out of our atmosphere and dock with it. We can enter here, as shown in these satellite photos. We then upload the virus. We then set off some kind of explosion, which will disable it, and that'll disorient the smaller ships below, and that could buy, I think, at least some time to, uh... to take 'em-- take 'em out. Take 'em down. Do your... do your stuff. This is ridiculous. How long would their shields be down? Uh... I don't know. A matter of minutes. You want us to coordinate a massive worldwide counterstrike with a window of only a few minutes? With the shields down, that might be possible. Oh, please. We don't have the manpower or the resources to launch that kind of a campaign. Not to mention that this whole cockamamie plan is dependent on a machine that no one in this world is qualified to operate. I wouldn't say that, sir. I've seen these things in action, and I'm well aware of their maneuvering capabilities. With your permission, General, I'd like the opportunity to try. That thing is a wreck. Crash-landed back in the fifties. We don't even know if it's capable of flying. Jim, uh, remove the clamps. [Clicking]

See that, uh, Coke can on top of the alien craft? Think you can shoot that thing off? Do it. Shoot it. Sir? Go ahead. [Cocks Gun]

[Bullet Ricocheting] Steven: What the hell are you doing? I'm sorry. My fault. My fault. That Coke can was protected by the craft's shield, and we can't penetrate their defenses. We know that already. What's your point? Right. My point is, if we can't beat their defenses, then we gotta get around them. Major, one more time. Anytime. [Takes Deep Breath]

Let's go! Mr. President, right this way, sir. We got your gear over here. I got a jumpsuit for you, and the rest of your gear's squared away in this duffel. You got your choice of helmets.

You're late. Well, you know me. I know. You like to make a big entrance. Let me help you. Um, listen... before we do this, I just want to say I'm sorry. Sorry for what, babe? I should have done this a long time ago. Do you have the ring? Uh, yes, sir. Here. Make yourself useful. [Pat Pat] Ow.

[Whoosh] What the hell... Don't touch them! No, no, don't! I was counting on this. They are bringing us in. When the hell was you gonna tell me? Oops. We're going to have to work on our communication.
