- Dr. J. Allen Hynek: I don't question your loyalty. Do I? I know who you are. I look up to you.
- Captain Michael Quinn: Thanks. Me too.
- Captain Michael Quinn: Think you'll go back to teaching?
- Dr. J. Allen Hynek: I'm not sure yet.
- Captain Michael Quinn: Well, I think the generals would be at a loss if you left for good. You may have been a pain in their ass, but... they're better off for having you.
- Dr. J. Allen Hynek: Look, I'm not sure what you're planning on doing right now, but with no plane, no way out... hurting us won't help you in the least.
- Lt. Col. Yuri Obolensky: I'm not going to hurt you. I need your help to find the rest of the plane.
- Alex: So why are you doing this now? This Blue Book... studying UFOs? Why?
- Captain Michael Quinn: I wanted to defend my country from people like you.
- Alex: I'm not a UFO.
- Captain Michael Quinn: Yeah, well, you're Russian. You send spies to infiltrate our programs, exploit our fears of the unexplained. You're worse.
- Captain Michael Quinn: If this doesn't go well, we don't make it out of here. I just want to tell you...
- Dr. J. Allen Hynek: Captain... that doesn't help.
- General James Harding: What you did here was heroic.
- Captain Michael Quinn: We just came up here to do our job, sir.
- General James Harding: Which makes the work you do more important than ever.
- Captain Michael Quinn: Some things never change.
- Dr. J. Allen Hynek: What's that?
- Captain Michael Quinn: I decide to get in early, you still find a way to beat me in.
