How was your 4th?

President Whitmore: I'm a combat pilot, Will. I belong in the air.

President Thomas Whitmore: We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.

Steve Hiller: Y'know, this was supposed to be my weekend off, but noooo. You got me out here draggin' your heavy ass through the burnin' desert with your dreadlocks stickin' out the back of my parachute. You gotta come down here with an attitude, actin' all big and bad...

Captain Steven Hiller: That's what I call a close encounter.

Captain Steven Hiller: Look, I really don't think they flew 90 billion light years to come down here and start a fight.

President Whitmore: Sir, regardless of what you may have read in the tabloids, there has never been any spacecraft recovered by our government. Take my word for it. There's no Area 51. There's no recovered space ship.
Albert Nimzicki: Uh, excuse me, Mr. President. That's not entirely accurate.
David Levinson: What? Which part?

Jasmine Dubrow: There you go, thinking you're all that. But you are not as charming as you think you are, sir.
Captain Steven Hiller: Yes I am.

President 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 with our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps, it's fate, 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. Should we win today, 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!"
