[Raphelson's treachery has been exposed]

Cale: You are a goddamn traitor, sir.

Raphelson: You dim little shit! I hired you out of pity and this is how you repay me? Now when the country finds out that your beloved President helped a maniac open the nuclear football, who do think they'll believe? Now you, you would be a *nobody* whereas *I* am the President of the United States.

President Sawyer: Oh no, you're not!

Cale: I thought you would want this.

Cale: Okay.

Cale: I got three rounds. Tell me you got some weapons in the residence.

Cale: What?

President Sawyer: They're big knives.

Cale: Great, then you can make me a sandwich.

Cale: You think you're tough, bitch?

Cale: Is my credit score on there?

Finnerty: Yes, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Cale: It's a recession, okay?

Cale: I can't think of a more important job than protecting the President.

Akima: You can't call a planet "Bob."

Cale: So now you're the boss. You're the King of Bob.

Akima: Can't we just call it "Earth"?

Cale: No one said you have to live on Bob.

Akima: I'm never calling it that.

Cale: Maybe I've been wrong all these years, and it's taken your inspiring speech to make me see it. You've really changed me. It's beautiful. I think we've gotta hug.

Cale: Yeah? What is the truth?

Korso: That the human race is outta gas. It's circling the drain. It's finished! The only thing that matters is grabbing whatcha can before somebody else beats ya to it.

Cale: No, I don't believe that.

Korso: Then you're even more like your father than I thought... a fool.

Cale: [angry] If I don't like the way things are going I'll show you how much like my father I am. I'll leave!

Cale: The least they could do is kill my food before I eat it.

Cale: This ship's gonna help us save mankind.

Akima: What *exactly* are we looking for?

Cale: Everyday I wake up and it's still the present. The same grimy, boring present. I don't think this "future" thing of yours exists.

Akima: [Cale is in the med-lab in nothing but a towel; Akima is tending to his wounds] Preed, hand me the probe.

Korso: Exhale.

Cale: You've gotta be kidding me.

Korso: Exhale!

Cale: No. No, no!

Korso: [kicks windshield out]

Korso: You should brace yourself.

Cale: [nervous] Uh, uh, yeah! Uh, I'm feeling that.

Preed: I weep for the species.

Cale: [to Tek, after escaping from Po and his cronies] I've got to be scarce for a while.

Korso: [slides into the seat next to Cale] You don't know the half of it.

Cale: Are you still bothering people? Go away!

Korso: [to Tek] Great job with the kid, Tek. He's a charmer.

Korso: Oh, man, they've really ground you down.

Cale: Hey, get this straight, I don't even know you. I don't want any part of your mission, and I don't need your help with these over-sized morons.

Korso: Oh. Okay.

Korso: [to alien goons, after he unties them] I think he called you morons.

Cale: They're locking down the doors!

Korso: We're not going forward, we're going up.

Cale: Up?

Korso: Eject. 'Ey, where's the eject? Cale? Cale, this model does have eject, right?

Haley: So, do you guys wanna party at the aqueduct tonight?

Blue Baxter: Nah.

Haley: Aw, c'mon, you guys!

Cale: The only party I heard about is the one in your panties.

Haley: Oh, no. There's absolutely no way there could be a party in my panties.

Cale: Why not?

Haley: Because I'm not wearing any.

[first lines]

Cale: Come on Blue, it's easy money. Billy said 10 bucks an hour, man. That's some cash. The way I figure it, we can make at least a hundred bucks a day fixin' up the motel.

Cale: [to Blue] Did you just compare yourself to Noah?

Ely Jackson: You guys want to get cremated or buried?

Pete Kepler: I don't care, what ever. Bury me, burn me, why does it matter?

Ely Jackson: It matters. I don't want to rot in a box... bugs and worms and weird animals eat out my eyeballs.

Cale: I want to rot in a box.
