Independence Day (1996) Edit

A complete evacuation of Los Angeles County.

A computer virus.

A delay now would be more costly

A fight that you started...

A historic and unprecedented event has occurred.

A little shake, and they running.

A lot of people died today.

A meteor?

A parabolic indentation 9 city blocks...

A radio signal from another world.

A virus.

Aaaaahh!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah! Aah.

Abort mission right away. Do you read me?

Abort.

About three hours.

Absolutely. Contact NORAD. Tell them we've upgraded to DEFCON three.

Acting all big and bad.

Address the nation.

After that. The other part.

After they've consumed every natural resource, they move on.

Age was never an issue when you stuck to your guns.

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah.

Ah. Ah.

Ahh, checkmate.

Ain't I been saying it, Miguel?

Aircraft from here will join others from around the world...

Al?

Alex, organize a military escort.

All cable repairmen can, Pops.

All I did was stumble onto their signal.

All I'm saying is

All right, abort mission.

All right, baby, I've got you.

All right, boys, let's give Mr. Casse some cover.

All right, Connie, what's this all about?

All right, everybody, clear the platform.

All right, gentlemen, we're on.

All right, go ahead. Put it on.

All right, guys, listen up.

All right, life support monitors recording.

All right, listen up. Before we can begin...

All right, Mr. President, here we go!

All right, now spread it very, very gently.

All right, squadron leaders, I want weapons check.

All right.

All right. All right. What've we got here?

All right. Get them out of there.

All right. Go ahead.

All right. OK.

All right. There's a helicopter waiting.

All right. Um, everybody, head down to the basement.

All satellite, microwave, and ground communications

All systems go.

All the distortions in our broadcasts.

All the little gizmos inside turned on.

All we can do now is...pray.

Almost put a hex on the whole damn thing.

Although it's understandable

AM FM radio, reclining bucket seats, and...

Amen, man.

Amen, Reverend.

And a mass roughly 1/4 the size of our moon.

And don't touch anything.

And everyone is invited, especially you know who.

And get all rowdy.

And get us some goddamn pilots to fly 'em.

And got to postpone a little freaky deaky.

And I just want you to know that, uh...

And I'm looking for what?

And I'm well aware of their maneuvering capabilities.

And in the presence of these witnesses

And it's important for everyone not to panic.

And joint chiefs, and take them to a secured location.

And more like the orphan child Oliver

And remember...

And stop slobbering all over my shoe.

And that could buy, I think, at least some time

And the clock is ticking.

And the countdown's going to be over.

And we can't penetrate their defenses.

And we estimate

And we'll see if you're as smart as we all hope you are.

And what happens if they do become hostile?

And what the hell is that smell?

And whup E.T.'s ass, that's all.

And you and Dylan come stay with me on the base.

And you don't know anything about them.

And you will be launching the largest aerial battle

And you will once again be fighting for our freedom...

And you will see that there is nothing to be scared of.

And you'll get your chance.

And, Alex, you contact the cabinet members.

And, forsaking all others, keep yourself only for her

And, uh, been doing that ever since.

Announcer on TV: Ladies and gentlemen...

Any news on my wife yet?

Any questions?

Any word from them?

Approaching alien ship.

Approaching...

Are incredible.

Are our forces here?

Are protesting the military involvement

Are the salad days over for President Whitmore? Morton?

Are they not getting through?

Are you listening to me?

Are you telling us you can send out a signal

Area 51.

Armed and ready, sir.

As a matter of fact, you did.

As he papered city hall with leaflets from the air.

As the former head of the C.I.A....

As thousands have taken to the streets.

As we attempt to establish communication.

As you can imagine...

At the moment, our satellites are somewhat unreliable.

Atlanta, Chicago, and Philadelphia...

Aw! Don't give me unprepared.

Away from our bases as possible...

Babe, you want some of this coffee?

Babe.

Baby, stay right here.

Baby, there's something on the news about the quake.

Ballet?

Bandits on our tail! They're locked on!

Barry Nolan on TV: ..."it could only happen in California" file...

Baw caw.

Be seated.

Because David thought that I was having an affair.

Because it puts the bootie, like...

Before the virus is planted?

Before we do this, I just want to say I'm sorry.

Before we shoot that thing off.

Believe you me.

Bird's away.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Blow through! Blow through!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Boomer!

Breathes oxygen.

Bringing estimates up to anywhere from 10 to 15

Bringing it in to hover.

But anyone who can fly a plane would be useful.

But as the day when the world declared in one voice...

But from all accounts...

But from annihilation.

But I ain't mad.

But I do know, here today, that the Black Knights

But I was kind of hoping he wanted the job, though.

But information is sketchy at best.

But no.

But once we got them off...

But see, sometimes...

But since these guys started showing up...

But that wasn't enough, was it?

But that's not gonna keep.

But the neatest stuff...

But the president remains at the White House.

But this is just the beginning...

But we were able to get these.

But what, General?

But you are not as charming as you think you are, sir.

But you said you was on leave for the 4th.

But you're about to get a crash course in modern avionics.

But, uh, they're even more confused than we are, sir.

Bye.

Call the other planes back.

Can I confirm that the target was destroyed?

Can there be a peace between us?

Can we move it along!

Can you believe this?

Can you get a blanket for Patricia?

Can you get us out of here in 30 seconds?

Can you say that again?

Can you tell us anything useful about them?

Can you, uh, wait outside for a little bit

Captain on deck!

Captain.

Centered above what remains of downtown Los Angeles...

Check it out.

Check me out. I'm going to try something.

Checkmate.

Checkmate.

Checkmate.

Civilian casualties should be down to a minimum.

Come here.

Come on in.

Come on, babe.

Come on, baby.

Come on, baby. Come on.

Come on, baby. Come on.

Come on, Boomer.

Come on, Boomer. Let's get you something to eat.

Come on, boy.

Come on, come on.

Come on, come on. Move, move, move!

Come on, David, David. You need your rest.

Come on, Dylan, honey.

Come on, Dylan. We gotta go.

Come on, Julius.

Come on, would I keep you out of the loop?

Come on! Pass it over here, man!

Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Get off this freezing concrete floor before you catch cold.

Come on. Keys.

Come on. We're going.

Comes directly into this room, Mr. President.

Command Center: Knights, we are red and free.

Command has attempted to compile a list of casualties and losses...

Command, this is Eagle Eye 370.

Command, this is Retel Op.

Commander #1: Hold it!

Commander #2: The little bit of information that we have

Commander #2: Verification, Alpha Zulu 6 8 9er.

Commander, do you have visual?

Commander: Disengage. Rear flank, follow suit.

Commander: OK. Echo 9er, Echo 7.

Commander: Squadron leaders, fire at will! Fire at will!

Comparable tolerances to heat, cold.

Computer: Missile launched.

Connie, can we expect the same kind of panic we saw in Russia?

Connie, you're up awfully early this morning.

Connie.

Considering it's all being done with, uh...

Controls are showing complete failure of the stats.

Correction, sir.

Could be bad weather, could be good weather.

Crash landed back in the fifties.

Dad, I'm sick. I don't feel good.

Dad, no. Not the spaceship.

Dad, what?

Dad! What's he doing?

Daddy let me watch Letterman.

Daddy!

Damn it!

Damn. They got shields, too.

David, are you watching this?

David, haven't you been watching?

David, look at myself.

David, talk to me.

David, tell him!

David, why did I just send my mother to Atlanta?

David, you could have done anything that you wanted.

David, you don't have a license.

David, you have to tell him.

David, you unlocked part of that technology.

David: Dad.

David: Now don't hang up, sweetie.

David!

David!

David!

David? In Area 51, right?

David.

David. How did you get this number?

David...

David...

Dearly beloved, we're gathered here in the sight of God

Delivery complete. Engage.

Delivery complete. It's a go. It's a go.

Deploy.

Destroyed.

Development...

Did all kinds of experiments on him.

Did something happen to you, Russ?

Did they do any...

Did you hear me tell you that the signal hidden in the satellite feed

Did you hear me tell you that the signal hidden in the satellite feed

Did you see that?

Did you try to switch transponder channels?

Did you?

Did.

Didn't I promise you fireworks?

Die.

Die...

Direct hit!

Disgusting...

Dismissed.

Do it. Shoot it.

Do me a favor.

Do me a favor. Walk to the window.

Do not engage until we've confirmed

Do you copy?

Do you have a pistol?

Do you have any idea how long it takes for those cups to decompose?

Do you have the ring?

Do you hear what they're talking about?

Do you think they have any clue

Do you want to make a statement?

Do you wish to deploy?

Do you?

Do your stuff.

Do your...

Doctor!

Doctor! Doctor!

Doesn't anyone have any missiles left?

Don't argue with me. Just go!

Don't be.

Don't do nothing stupid over there.

Don't even think about it.

Don't tell me you've had this for 40 years...

Don't touch them! No, no, don't!

Don't worry about it, big man.

Don't...Don't start, Dad.

Dr. Okun: As you can see from the repairs...

Drive us outta here.

Due to extenuating circumstances...

Dusted the wrong field.

Dylan.

Eagle 1.

Eagle 1...

Eagle 20. Fox 2!

Eagle 20. Fox 2!

Eagle 20. Fox 2.

Eagle 3. Fox 2.

Eagle 7. Fox 2.

Eagle One, the package is being delivered.

Echo One right beside you.

Echo One: Roger that.

Echo One: We see it, too. Can't identify it.

Echo, Fox 2.

El Toro has been completely destroyed.

Elvis has left the building!

ETA 26 minutes.

ETA six minutes and counting down.

ETA to target, four minutes.

ETA with contact point: three minutes.

Even his crime bill failed to pass.

Ever hear of nuclear winter?

Ever since I was kidnapped by aliens 10 years ago...

Everybody's leaving.

Everybody's packing up. They're leaving.

Everyone in the world is trying to get out of Washington.

Everyone loses faith at some point in their life.

Except the nuke will not detonate at impact.

Exciting? People are dying out there.

Excuse me, Mr. President.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Exotic.

Eyes, ears, no vocal chords.

Far more advanced.

Figure out what they haven't thought of yet...

Finding out our weaknesses.

Fire at will.

Firecrackers.

First you strategically position your pieces...

Fly their alien craft out of our atmosphere and dock with it.

Follow me.

For your own safety.

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

Fox 2!

Fox 3.

Friendly?

From his service as a pilot in Vietnam.

From your hostage experience.

General Grey here.

General Grey: Are you all right?

General Grey: Captain, the president is listening.

General Grey: We're down to 15%.

General, I'm really anxious to get back to El Toro.

General, it's NORAD.

Genius?

Gentlemen... let's plow the road!

George Putnam: The visitors responded with terrifying...

Get a couple beers in him, he'll tell you all about it.

Get as far away as you can!

Get as far away from these things as you can.

Get down!

Get everybody off of it.

Get it off!

Get me Atlantic Command on the line.

Get me the secretary of defense.

Get off of me! Get off of me!

Get on line with Space Command.

Get on the wire to every squadron around the world.

Get out of town as soon as you can.

Get the hell out of the way.

Get the hell outta here!

Get the tank commander on the line.

Get them out of there!

Get those helicopters away from the ship.

Get your stuff together and head for Aunt Esther's.

Gladly.

Go ahead, Commander.

Go ahead, Pilot. We're ready to take off right now.

Go ahead.

Go back to sleep.

God.

Gonna be just fine.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Good bye!

Good God!

Good hunting.

Good job.

Good luck, buddy.

Good luck, gentlemen.

Good luck, Pilot.

Good morning, George.

Good morning, Lucas.

Good morning, Mr. President.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good night.

Good night.

Great.

Great. What about the people outside?

Grey, do you read me?

Ground Control: Roger, Welcome Wagon.

Guess they finally got tired of all these quakes.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha! Look at you!

Ha ha. Hope you got an air bag.

Ha ha. Thank you, sir.

Ha! Ha!

Hand signals and body language.

Hang on, sir.

Has AMRAAM missiles locked on target.

Has been answered.

Has caused over 10,000 fender benders in just a few seconds' time...

Has the target been destroyed?

Hasn't anyone told you?

Have slipped below 40%.

Have them rendezvous here. We'll take them to NORAD.

Have to, um, ahem...

Haven't you ever wanted to be part of something special?

He better be.

He did it!

He didn't have any other choice.

He may be released later tonight.

He says he's your husband.

He wasn't his father.

He wasn't the president then.

He's my angel.

He's not going to listen to me. We should go.

He's on me like white on rice, Big Daddy.

He's your son?

Head straight for it.

Headed towards New York and Washington, D.C.

Helicopter: This is the Los Angeles Police Department.

Hello, boys!

Hello.

Hello.

Hello. Let me speak to Dr. Katz, please.

Hello. What's the, uh... What's the big emergency?

Help me! Help me!

Here we go.

Here.

Here. Let me help you.

Here. Make yourself useful. [Pat Pat]

Here's my chance.

Here's Wendy Walsh with a special report.

Here's your mother.

Hey, a toast.

Hey, don't tell him to shut up!

Hey, hey, hey. Come on.

Hey, hey!

Hey, hey. Don't get premature on me, soldier.

Hey, I don't like this. This is stupid. They can see us!

Hey, Miguel, come here.

Hey, Miguel!

Hey, Russ, I heard you had a little trouble this morning.

Hey, there she is. Go on.

Hey, they're here.

Hey, wait a minute. What are you saying?

Hey, what the hell are you doing?

Hey, you know how I'm, like, always trying to save the planet?

Hey, you know I really like Jasmine.

Hey!

Hey! All right!

Hey! What's going on?

Hey.

Hey. Come on, Munchkin.

Hey. Pay attention.

Hi, honey.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi. I miss you.

Hi. It's me.

Hidden inside our own satellite system.

Hide.

Hold hands!

Hold me.

Hold on, everybody! Hold on!

Hold on, man. What is this?

Hold on, sir.

Honk honk!

Hoo.

Hostage experience?

Houston, Texas.

Houston.

How about our boys? Where are they?

How about our two delivery boys?

How did you do that?

How do you do?

How do you get funding for something like this?

How do you know?

How does he do that?

How long has he been unconscious?

How long would their shields be down?

How many didn't have to?

How quickly everyone can turn against you?

How to plant the virus, someone who is trained...

How would you describe Mr. Casse?

However, that is one mistake I'm thankful to say

However, with our depleted manpower...

Huh? I been saying it.

Huh? Who's the man?

I ain't heard no fat lady!

I always thought that things like these would kill me.

I am.

I appreciate your trying to help me.

I been saying it for 10 damn years.

I been saying it.

I belong in the air.

I can fly.

I can understand that.

I can't go faster. They're cutting me off here.

I can't let you pass without clearance.

I can't.

I could've been at a barbecue!

I did?

I didn't know that you'd recognized me.

I didn't know where I was either.

I don't believe this. Jasmine.

I don't have time for this.

I don't have to go.

I don't know, baby.

I don't know.

I don't know. A matter of minutes.

I don't think "exciting" is the word I'd choose to describe it.

I don't think so.

I don't think you understand...

I don't understand it, sir. Side radar doesn't see it.

I don't understand why you can't show someone else

I don't understand.

I don't want you in any one of those cities.

I don't want you to catch cold.

I don't want you to go.

I don't...Excuse me.

I gave it a cold.

I gave it a virus.

I got a jumpsuit for you. The rest of your gear's squared away in this duffel.

I got you, Big Daddy. Let's get them.

I gotcha.

I gotta call my lawyer.

I had a feeling you would.

I have a confession to make.

I have got a really bad feeling about this.

I have got to get me one of these!

I have no idea.

I haven't spoken to God since your mother died.

I know I didn't wake you.

I know there is much we can learn from each other

I know what I mean when I say it.

I know you're probably still a little confused

I know, Ma.

I know.

I know. It's blind, sir.

I know. You like to make a big entrance.

I love them very much.

I love X Files, too. I hope you get to see it.

I love you.

I love you.

I may have to think quickly, adjust the signal.

I mean, look at me. I look like a schlemiel.

I picked a hell of a day to quit drinking.

I punched him, he fought back, we wrestled around.

I really don't think they flew 90 billion light years

I really want you out of Los Angeles.

I repeat, we need visual confirmation.

I repeat. We are evacuating the White House.

I repeat. Welcome Wagon is in the air.

I said call them back.

I saw what they're planning to do.

I see 'em!

I should have done this a long time ago.

I shouldn't have left her.

I spoke with the joint chiefs when they arrived at NORAD.

I think our secret's out. They're headed straight for us.

I thought you said you were going

I told you I wouldn't let you down.

I understand you are upset over the death of your wife...

I voted for the other guy.

I want confirmation that the target was destroyed.

I want to tell you something.

I want you to get the vice president, the whole cabinet...

I want you to look after this guy.

I want you to meet the First Lady.

I wanted my life to make a difference.

I was counting on this.

I was part of something special.

I wasn't, um... ambitious enough for you?

I will.

I won't let you down.

I would have worn a tie.

I wouldn't say that, sir.

I...I'm sorry. I don't understand.

I'd better call my housekeeper.

I'd just like to add that, uh...

I'd like to go see it.

I'd like to remain at your side.

I'll leave as soon as the interviews are done.

I'm a combat pilot, Will.

I'm a dancer.

I'm a pilot.

I'm back!

I'm getting someone else.

I'm going to report to El Toro and find out what's going on.

I'm gonna need all flight crews

I'm in range. Locking on.

I'm lining all your friends up right beside you!

I'm not going to do this with you, Jasmine.

I'm not going to let them criticize you for it.

I'm not *******.

I'm not.

I'm one of them.

I'm only saying it's been, what, four years?

I'm out of missiles. Eagle 2!

I'm out of town for a while.

I'm so sorry that I didn't come home

I'm sorry, Captain. This is a restricted area.

I'm sorry, man.

I'm sorry, sir. It's a clean room.

I'm sorry. He's not available.

I'm sorry. My fault.

I'm staying. I don't want to add to a public hysteria

I'm sure she got out of here before it happened.

I'm thinking.

I'm very proud of you.

I've been dying for some payback...

I've been waiting for this my whole life.

I've got something on radar.

I've got to call my brother.

I've got to report to El Toro.

I've got tone.

I've got tone. Eagle 1. Fox 2!

I've seen these things in action...

If I knew I was going to meet the president...

If this isn't an insanely beautiful woman, I'm hanging up.

If we can negotiate a truce.

If we fire nukes, then everybody else is going to fire them.

If we plant a virus into that mother ship...

If we'd...

If you calculate the time it takes

If you don't move soon, I'm gonna start to decompose.

If you feel compelled to leave these cities...

If you marry a stripper.

If you want to impress me, you need to get a job

If your father's not in the air in 20 minutes...

In Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

In hiding in the Golan Strait.

In less than an hour...

In order to reach each ship.

In the Gulf War...

In the history of mankind.

In the next 36 hours.

In the words of my generation...

Indeed, God help us all.

Initiating communications sequence, Echo One.

Instrumentation is malfunctioning.

Into nearly three dozen other pieces...

Is completely different from leadership in politics.

Is dependent on a machine

Is headed for Moscow.

Is it a earthquake?

Is it gonna do this the whole way?

Is Mommy sleeping now?

Is my wife in the air?

Is only 375,000 kilometers.

Is slowly recycling down to extinction?

Is that glass bulletproof?

Is totally off the map.

Isn't it amazing

Isn't it possible that this thing may just pass us by?

Issue the abort codes right away. This is an abort. Full abort.

It ain't on a map.

It can't be allowed.

It doesn't look alive, does it?

It doesn't matter.

It had been deemed classified.

It is apparently what has been causing

It is clearing the mountains...

It is confirmed. The unexplained phenomenon

It most certainly does.

It says...

It seems they're getting a signal. Old Morse code.

It should provide us some protection.

It started this morning. Every station's making like it's the 1950s.

It was a fight.

It was in the 1950s. You had that spaceship.

It was the biggest opportunity of my life.

It was the strongest radio transmitter we could get.

It won't be there?

It won't fire.

It's 2:45 in the morning.

It's a countdown.

It's about bloody time.

It's Air Force One, for crying out loud.

It's all right.

It's almost as though they weren't even there.

It's an organic life form.

It's been a pleasure.

It's coming from the moon.

It's going to be gone in, like, seven hours anyway.

It's gone, sir.

It's gonna then filter down into all the corresponding ships below.

It's good money.

It's just too much politics. It's too much compromise.

It's just... not simple anymore.

It's kind of strong.

It's not me. They're overriding the system.

It's not responding. It's stuck.

It's OK.

It's probably been overlooked. If...

It's reducing itself every time it recycles...

It's so fuzzy.

It's so pretty.

It's some kind of extrasensory perception.

It's the end of life as we know it.

It's the real thing.

It's the right thing to do.

It's the wrong field, you idiot.

It's the wrong field, you idiot.

It's time.

It's too tight.

It's what you're good at.

It's what?

It's, uh... It's slowing down, sir.

Jasmine kind of has a thing for dolphins.

Jasmine?

Jeez, what's with the golf balls?

Jeez.

Jesus.

Jimmy, what are you doing? You can't bank at that speed.
