Air Force One Quotes

Taglines The fate of a nation rests on the courage of one man.

Egor Korshunov Madam Vice-President, the time has come for you to show your good faith. I've read your press kits. I understand Air Force One is able to refuel in midair. Well, we need fuel and we need it now.

Vice-President Kathryn Bennett I'm sure we can come to some kind of arrangement. If you land the plane, we'll trade fuel for hostages-

Korshunov This is bullshit! It's simple physics. Without fuel, the plane crashes, everybody dies!

Bennett We're trying to do everything that we can-

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 until the plane crash or refueling plane arrive! Well, what do you say?

Bennett Fuel's on its way.

Korshunov Thank you.

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! Now give it to me!

Air Force General 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?

Egor 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.

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

F-15 Pilot This is Halo-2. They've lost countermeasures. I'm going in.

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

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!

Taglines Harrison Ford is the President of the United States

Taglines Family Man. Commander-In-Chief. National Hero...Any title worth having is never given. It's earned.

President James Marshall The dead remember our indifference; the dead remember our silence. 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.
