Executive Decision
1996
Cappie: If you screw up, you'll never know it.
Rat: I hope there's a good movie on this flight.
Dr David Grant: If you don't believe me, what are you doing up here? Lieutenant Colonel Austin Travis: Well... who the hell else is gonna do it... you?
(Grant, wearing a tuxedo, meets the commando unit) Rat: Who's this? 007?
Dr David Grant: We're not gonna make it. Lieutenant Colonel Austin Travis: You are.
Dr David Grant: Colonel, grab my hand! (Colonel Travis reaches his hand but falls back down) Colonel, were not gonna make it! Lieutenant Colonel Austin Travis: You are. (Colonel Travis shuts himself in and is sucked out of the plane to his death)
Nagi Hassan: That was a very brave thing to do. And totally unnecessary.
(One of the Navy planes tilts so its missiles are visible) 747 Captain: Jesus Christ. What the hell are they doing? 747 First Officer: They're getting ready to light us up.
Dr David Grant: Can you hook up a probe so that I can see into the main cabin on this monitor? Sergeant Baker: No, we can't transmit between the probe and the monitor. Dr David Grant: Would a video camera work? Sergeant Baker: Yeah. Dr David Grant: You got one? Sergeant Baker: No.
Nagi Hassan: I can see we're both men who truly understand the importance of making dramatic statements to the world.
Sergeant "Cappy" Matheny: I think we're looking up the ass-end of a dead dog, but it's worth a try.
Dr David Grant: It's over. Nagi Hassan: Over? It's not over. (Grant holds up the detonator) . Dr David Grant: It's over. Nagi Hassan: Who are you? Dr David Grant: No-one. Nagi Hassan: You're very clever, but you're too late. You've solved nothing. (fires his gun into the cockpit)
(after the Navy pilots have gotten their Morse Code message) Dr David Grant: Jesus, they got it! Sergeant Baker: (astounded) They got it? Dr David Grant: They got it! Sergeant Baker: I take back every rust-pickin', squid-hatin' thing I've ever said about swabbies!
(Rat is attempting to take command of the mission) Dr David Grant: Look, I'm not telling you how to do your job, but if that DZ5 is on board, there's gonna be a bomb attached to it, and you GODDAMN well better find it!
(on the ground, after Cahill helped defuse the bomb) Dr David Grant: Cahill, I don't know how you did it, but you did it. Dennis Cahill: (shakes his head) No... you did it. (hands him the straw from his mouth) Dr David Grant: What's this? Dennis Cahill: It's... a memento. Look, I'd love to talk about this, but right now, I need a drink, a BIG drink.
Dr David Grant: (after ploughing through lots of light aircraft and runway lights and overshooting the runway on landing the 747) Dr David Grant: These things almost land themselves, don't they?
