President Lindberg Major Dallas, I first would like to salute a warrior. You are a shining example of this army's might. In the name of the Federation and its territory—
Korben Dallas Mister President, Mister President. Any idea when you're gonna be getting to the point?
Lindberg Okay. There's a ball of fire 1,200 miles in diameter heading straight for Earth, and we have no idea how to stop it. That's the problem.
