02:47 In less than an hour
00:50 They're closing
00:45 This is a restricted area
00:34 You may inadvertently trigger an interstellar war
00:35 Have been left in ruins
00:28 And we're the only schmucks trying to get in
00:26 Captain Steven Hiller
00:26 For crying out loud
00:29 I would've worn a tie
00:48 A parabolic indentation 9 city blocks in diameter
00:13 All you need is love
00:51 That's what you get
00:38 This was supposed to be my weekend off
00:17 Take a look at the Earthlings
00:10 You really think you can fly that thing
00:43 Are you all right
00:51 Tell my children
00:06 Let's kick the tires and light the fires
00:04 You punched the President
00:06 I ain't heard no fat lady
00:05 I picked a hell of a day to quit drinkin'
00:22 That I don't have to live with
00:16 I don't understand
01:10 Don't you tell him to shut up
00:08 If you're so smart
00:08 They're chasing us
00:21 Something you want to add to this briefing
00:23 What a pleasure
00:19 They're bringing us in
00:47 A countdown to what David
00:12 I'd sure like to know what you're doing
00:09 Didn't I promise you fireworks
00:07 Nobody's perfect
00:17 W what do you mean
00:14 Haven't you ever wanted to be part of something special
00:13 What your father did was very brave
00:04 Payback's a bitch
00:06 I have got to get me one of these
00:07 It's Air Force One
00:26 Don't worry about it
00:09 I hope they bring back Elvis
00:08 Is that an earthquake
00:10 Casse some cover
00:13 If this isn't an insanely beautiful woman
00:08 Well it's funny I always thought things like these...
00:16 This could be our last night on Earth
00:15 Look I really don't think
00:23 Just try and stay calm
00:19 This is the vault
00:13 This is our victory dance
00:13 Thinking you're all that
00:16 What the hell are you doing
00:35 Then we're being exterminated
00:06 Oh crap
00:14 You know I really like Jasmine
00:06 You did NOT shoot that green shit at me
00:20 Mommy is sleeping now
00:04 Is that glass bulletproof
00:12 To the end of the world
00:03 Time's up
00:19 What's the matter with you
00:10 Get on the wire
00:07 If you feel compelled to leave these cities
00:16 Connected to the engine
00:11 Angelenos are advised to avoid the highways wherever...
00:05 Doesn't anybody have any missiles left
00:04 What do you want us to do
00:05 A little shake and they all runnin
00:05 We may not have much of an America left to defend
00:07 Eagle One Fox two
00:18 Now what do we do
00:06 Go faster must go faster must go faster Go go go go go
00:10 Daddy let me watch Letterman
00:10 If you don't move soon
00:09 So this is healthy
00:27 Captain Steven Hiller United States Marine Corps
00:47 He's a good man
00:14 It's a fine line between standing behind a principle...
00:10 Do you really think you can fly that thing
00:41 He's on me like white on rice
00:11 Missile launch Oh crap
00:21 The end has come
This is Captain Steven Hiller
This could be our last night on Earth
00:08 Aah! Unh!
00:23 All we can do now
is...pray.
00:09 All you need is love
00:09 All right boys let's give Mr Casse some cover
00:25 Any questions?
