Duh! What is that? What's the matter with you? Genius. Genius? My dad--a total genius.

As the former head of the C.I.A., you knew about this place. When were you planning on informing the rest of us? It had been deemed classified. You should have told us about this when they first arrived. You should have warned us before we launched a counterattack that cost us the lives of hundreds of American pilots! There was no way we could have known that our fighters would have been that ineffective against their attackers. Mr. President. Commander #2: The little bit of information that we have comes directly into this room, Mr. President. Atlanta, Chicago, and Philadelphia... destroyed. 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. Whitmore: And our forces? General Grey: We're down to 15%. 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. We're being exterminated.

When we found them, they were wearing some sort of biomechanical suits, but once we got them off, we learned a great deal about their anatomy. Eyes, ears, no vocal chords. We're assuming they communicate with each other through some other means. You're obviously not thinking about hand signals and body language. It's some kind of extrasensory perception. Telepathy.

Sir... they're breaking formation. Mr. President, we're initiating sequence code. Commander #2: Verification, Alpha Zulu 6-8-9er. Which city will be reached first? Houston, Texas. ETA six minutes and counting down. Houston. The major cities have been deserted. Civilian casualties should be down to a minimum.

She doesn't look too good. Your wife is bleeding internally, Mr. President. Perhaps if we'd gotten to her earlier-- Wait a minute. What are you saying? We can't stop the bleeding. If we'd... There's nothing we can do for her. Patricia: We were worried. We didn't know where you were. I didn't know where I was either.

Call the other planes back. One of the bombers might have more luck. Sir, we shouldn't just give up on this! I said call them back.

All right, guys, listen up. Mitchell: All right, pay close attention. These F-18s are very different than the jets you've piloted before. It's kind of strong. You'll have to forgive the expression, but you're about to get a crash course in modern avionics. Ugh! Keep it coming. Keep it coming. OK. You got it. All right, listen up. Before we can begin, we're going to have to get a little background information on your flight experience. Uh, let's start with you. Who, me? Uh... Well, I'm, uh, ahem, Russell Casse, sir. Um...and, uh, after 'Nam, I, uh, got into crop-dusting. And, uh, been doing that ever since. Oh, and on a, uh, personal note, sir, I'd just like to add that, uh... ever since I was kidnapped by aliens 10 years ago, I've been dying for some payback, and I just want you to know that, uh, I won't let you down. You have one tactical nuclear missile we're loading into this launcher we're installing under the right wing. This is the firing mechanism, to be attached to the ship's main console. Just like the Amraam launch pad on the Stealth. Except the nuke will not detonate at impact. You'll have 30 seconds to get your asses out of there. Good luck, gentlemen.

I don't know, baby. You men will be the first wave in our counterattack. Our target is to the north centered above what remains of downtown Los Angeles... You scared, man? No. You? Nope. We will fix on our target positions... Hold me. Hey, pay attention. Something you want to add to this briefing, Captain Hiller? No, sir. I'm just a little anxious to get up there and whup E.T.'s ass, that's all.
