Air Force One

Alice Marshall:
I'm 12 years old, dad. In caveman days I'd be having children of my own.

President James Marshall:
That's what we call progress, young lady.

Grace:
She couldn't stay your little girl forever Jim.

President James Marshall:
I know. But I was hoping she could wait until she was 14 or 15... or 50.

President James Marshall:
If this works, you get to be Postmaster General.

President James Marshall:
Peace isn't merely the absence of conflict, but the presence of justice.

Egor Korshunov:
You who murdered a hundred thousand Iraqis to save a nickel on a gallon of gas are going to lecture me on the rules of war? Well DON'T.

Alice Marshall:
You are a monster, and my father is a great man. You're nothing like my father!

General Northwood:
Nobody does this to the United States. The President will get his baseball glove back and play catch with this guy's balls!

President James Marshall:
Did you hear my speech?

Grace:
Yeah.

President James Marshall:
Yeah?

Grace:
You're gonna get yourself re-elected.

President James Marshall:
That's what I keep telling them.

President James Marshall:
GET OFF MY PLANE!

President James Marshall:
The dead remember our indifference. The dead remember our silence.

President James Marshall:
The truth is, we acted too late. Only when our own national security was threatened, did we act.

President James Marshall:
Never again will I allow our political self-interest to deter us from doing what we know to be morally right. Atrocity and terror are not political weapons. And to those who would use them, your day is over. We will never negotiate. We will no longer tolerate and we will no longer be afraid. It's your turn to be afraid.

Egor Korshunov:
The President is safe - but then you must know that. He ran from here like a whipped dog! I'm sure you can't wait for him to get back to making the decisions so you can stop... sweating... through that silk blouse of yours!

Vice President Kathryn Bennett:
What are your intentions?

Egor Korshunov:
What arrogance... to think you could ever understand my intentions!

Egor Korshunov:
When you talk to the President, you might remind him that I am holding his wife, his daughter, his chief of staff, his national security advisor, his classified papers - and his baseball glove!

President James Marshall:
I'm counting on you, red, white and blue.

Egor Korshunov:
Your national security advisor has just been executed. He's a very good negotiator. He bought you another half hour.

President James Marshall:
I trusted you with my life!

Agent Gibbs:
So will the next president!

Melanie Mitchel:
Mr. President, the Russian news crew is with us. I told them you'd give them a sound bite about life in the White House.

President James Marshall:
There *is* no life in the White House!

Sergei Lenski:
We have the President.

Egor Korshunov:
I understand that Air Force One can refuel in mid-air well we need fuel, and we need it now.

Vice President Kathryn Bennett:
Im sure we can come to some kind of arrangement, if you land the plain we'll trade fuel for hostages.

Egor Korshunov:
This is bullshit! its simple physics without fuel the plan crashes, "scoffs" everybody dies!

Vice President Kathryn Bennett:
We're trying to do everything we can.

Egor Korshunov:
Tell me what I want to hear or I will execute a member of the senior staff and continue killing one hostage every minute untill the plane crash, or refueling plane arrive, well what do you say?

Vice President Kathryn Bennett:
Fuels on its way.

Egor Korshunov:
Thank You.

Air Force General:
[After hearing the president ordering them to fire on Air Force One] My God! Is he saying what I think he's saying?

Vice-President Kathryn Bennett:
If we're going to act, we have to act now.

Defense Secretary Walter Dean:
It's too risky.

Bennett:
The president is up there with a gun to his head!

General Northwood:
He's asking us to do that? To Air Force One?!

Bennett:
He's not asking. Your commander-in-chief has issued a direct order. DO IT!

Vice-President Kathryn Bennett:
What are your intentions?

Ivan Korshunov:
What arrogance to think you could ever understand my intentions.

Bennett:
I want to understand what it is that you want.

Korshunov:
What do I want...When Mother Russia becomes one great nation again, when the capitalists are dragged from the Kremlin and then shot in the street, when our enemies run and hide in fear at the mention of our name, and when America begs our forgiveness...on that great day of deliverance, you will know what I want.

Ivan Korshunov:
I know what you're thinking, First Lady. You want me dead. Well, it might come to that. In the war, people die.

Grace:
This isn't war! You just murdered an unarmed woman.

Ivan Korshunov:
You, who murdered a 100,000 Iraqis to save a nickel on a gallon of gas. Are going to lecture me about the rules of war? Don't!

F-15 Pilot:
Sir, pull up! You've got one on your tail.

President James Marshall:
Get him off my tail!

F-15 Pilot:
Missile away. Air Force One, break left and climb!

Major Caldwell:
Sir, we've lost countermeasures!

F-15 Pilot:
This is Halo-2. They've lost countermeasures. I'm going in. [Takes the missile for Air Force One]

Ivan Korshunov:
You've been very busy downstairs, haven't you? Killing my men? [Slaps President Marshall's face and punches his stomach then holds him down against a desk and takes his gun and points it at his head]

Grace:
NO!

President James Marshall:
You don't wanna do that. I'm what you came for, don't forget that.

Ivan Korshunov:
Then I'll kill them. Or just one? You pick. That's what you do in the White House? You play God.

President James Marshall:
You're not here for this, you want something. What is it?

Ivan Korshunov:
I want Radek.

President James Marshall:
How can I do that? I can't do that!

Ivan Korshunov:
Then you die the three of you.

President James Marshall:
I'll do anything to save my family DON'T ASK ME FOR SOMETHING I CAN'T GIVE!

Ivan Korshunov:
The most powerful man on the earth, and there certain things you cannot do. This is very curious, stop with your f***in' LIES!

[President Marshall is stunned about Agent Gibbs killing his men]

Secret Service Agent Gibbs:
Give me the strap!

President James Marshall:
I trusted you with my life!

Secret Service Agent Gibbs:
So will the next president! [gestures about safety line] Now give it to me!

Liberty 24 Pilot:
Blue Star... Air Force One is down!

Control Room [Blue Star]:
Liberty 24 have you got the president?

[static]

Control Room [Blue Star]:
Liberty DO YOU HAVE THE PRESIDENT!

Liberty 24 Pilot:
Standby...

[President Marshal is grabbed off the line and taken on board]

Liberty 24 crew member:
... Liberty 24 is changing call sign, Liberty 24 is now Air Force One!

Colonel Axelrod:
[as Ivan and Andrei are trying to get into the cockpit and stop the plane from landing]. No matter what happens, we land this aircraft is that understood? Come on. Come on. Flaps 30.

Lieutenant Colonel Ingraham:
Flaps 30

President James Marshall:
[in Russian, addressing state dinner in Moscow] The dead remember our indifference; the dead remember our silence. [turns back to English] I came here tonight to be congratulated. But today, when I visited the Red Cross camps, overwhelmed by the flood of refugees fleeing the horror of Kazakhstan, I realize I don't deserve to be congratulated. None of us do. The truth is we acted too late. Only when our own national security was threatened did we act. Radek's regime murdered over 200,000 men, women and children and we watched it on TV. We let it happen. People were being slaughtered for over a year and we issued economic sanctions and hid behind the rhetoric of diplomacy. How dare we. The dead remembered: real peace is not just the absence of conflict, it's the presence of justice. And tonight I come to you with a pledge to change America's policy. Never again will I allow our political self-interest to deter us from doing what we know to be morally right. Atrocity and terror are not political weapons, and to those who would use them, your day is over. We will never negotiate. We will no longer tolerate and we will no longer be afraid. It's your turn to be afraid.

President James Marshall:
[to a subdued Korshunov] Get off my plane!
