Missed Signs of Understanding in Friendship
Jack
How long have you known?
Simon
Like, I really started to get it when I was around thirteen.
Jack
Four years. Four years of eating dinner together, four years of going to the movies together, four years of walking Bieber together. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have missed it. All those stupid jokes...
Simon
Well, I know you didn't mean em.
Jack
It doesn't matter, I shouldn't have missed it. But in case the message got lost somewhere I just want you to know that I love you. And I'm really proud of you. I wouldn't change anything about you.

All right, I can't leave my guys back here, so here, take this flare. Okay, there's a tall white building with statues on top. Go to the rooftop, set the flare. Signal the chopper, and set the flare...
Sam
What? No, no, I can't do this-
Lennox
Listen to me, you're a soldier now! All right? I need you take this Cube. Get it into military hands while we hold them off, or a lot of people are gonna die. You got to go, you got to go.

Autobots Report Decepticon Activity Worldwide
Major Lennox
We have intel that I believe warrants an immediate debrief. But with your permission, I can't let you see him, but I would like you to hear it from the leader of the Autobots.
General Morshower
Proceed.
[Optimus transforms into robot mode leaving Director Galloway in awe]
Sergeant Epps
You gotta wonder, if God made us in his image, who made him?
[To Director Galloway]
Optimus
General, our alliance has countermanded six Decepticon incursions this year, each on a different continent. They’re clearly searching around the world for something, but last night’s encounter came with a warning.
Demolisher
The Fallen shall rise again.
[From unknown pre-recorded source]
General Morshower
The Fallen." Meaning what?
Optimus
Origin unknown. The only recorded history of our race was contained within the allspark lost with its destruction.
Director Galloway
Excuse me! With this so-called all-spark now destroyed, why hasn't the enemy left the planet like you thought they would?
Major Lennox
Director Galloway, our National Security Advisor. The President just appointed him liaison.
[To General Morshower]
General Morshower
Well, I guess I didn't get that memo.
Director Galloway
Forgive the interruption, general. Excuse me, coming through. Excuse me. Excuse me, General. After all the damage in Shanghai, the President is hard-pressed to say the job is getting done. Now, under the classified Alien Autobot Cooperation Act, you agreed to share your intel with us, but not your advancements in weaponry.
[To Optimus]
Optimus
We've witnessed your human capacity for war. It would absolutely bring more harm than good.
Director Galloway
But who are you to judge what's best for us?
Major Lennox
With all due respect, we've been fighting side by side in the field for two years.
Sergeant Epps
We've shed blood, sweat, and precious metal together.
Director Galloway
Solider, you’re paid to shoot, not talk.
Sergeant Epps
Don't tempt me.
Director Galloway
And the, uh, the newest members of your team.
Optimus
Easy.
Director Galloway
I understand they arrived here after you sent a message into space, an open invitation to come to Earth, vetted by no one at the White House.
[To Optimus]
General Morshower
Let me stop you right there, Mr. Galloway. It was vetted right here. And in my experience, the judgment of both Major Lennox and his team has always been above reproach.
Director Galloway
Well, be that as it may, General, it is the position of the president that when our national security is at stake, no one is above reproach. Now, what do we know so far? We know that the enemy leader, classified NBE One, aka Megatron, is rusting in peace at the bottom of the Laurentian Abyss, surrounded by SOSUS detection nets and a full-time submarine surveillance. We also know that the only known remaining piece of your alien AllSpark is locked in an electromagnetic vault here on one of the most secure naval bases in the world.
Soundwave
Decepticons, we have located the shard.
Director Galloway
And since no one can seem to tell me what the enemy is now after, well, there's only one clear conclusion! You! The Autobots! They're here to hunt you! What's there to hunt for on Earth besides that? "The Fallen shall rise again?" Sounds to me like something's coming. So, let me ask, if we ultimately conclude that our national security is best served by denying you further asylum on our planet, will you leave peacefully?
Optimus
Freedom is your right. If you make that request, we will honor it. But, before your President decides, please ask him this. What if we leave, and you’re wrong?
Major Lennox
That's a good question.

Preparing for a Tactical Operation
Major Lennox
What have you got?
Sergeant Epps
Thermal ripple.
Major Lennox
Right, everybody, be steady... We're right on top of it.
[Speaking into his communicator; Demolishor transforms into robot mode and roars before slamming both his hands down on a pile of steel pipes, sending them flying, causing some of the N.E.S.T. soldiers to be crushed by them as retaliatory fire from soldiers begins to ring out.]
Major Lennox
Eagle-niner!
[Speaking into his communicator]
Bald soldier from the first movie
Aah!
Major Lennox
I need an energy proton!
[Speaking into his communicator; Demolisher manages to get up and mobile despite taking fire.]

We got a second Decepticon.
Major Lennox
Arcee! Twins! Target coming your way!
