Independence Day: Resurgence

Perhaps it's fate

that today is the Fourth of July.

You will once again be fighting for our freedom...

Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution...

but from annihilation.

We're fighting for our right to live.

We're fighting for our right to live.

The world declared in one voice

we will not go quietly into the night.

We will not vanish without a fight.

We're going to live on.

We're going to survive.

Today, we celebrate our...

The countless lives

that we lost in the war of '96...

did not perish in vain.

They inspired us to rise from the ashes...

as one people of one world.

For 20 years, the world has seen no armed conflict.

Nations have put their petty differences aside.

United, we rebuilt our families,

our cities and our lives.

The fusion of human and alien technology...

not only enabled us to defy gravity

and travel with unimaginable speed...

it also made our planet, finally, safe again.

Great speech, Patty.

Thank you, Madam President.

One moment.

We're ready for you, sir.

Captain Hiller.

Welcome to the White House.

It's great to be back.

I cannot tell you how proud we are

to have you flying our flag up there.

It's an honor, Madam President.

Your father was a great man.

He'd be so proud.

I think you know the Secretary of Defense.

Sir.

Nice to see you again, son.

I know I don't have to introduce you two.

Ma'am, let's get you touched up for photo.

Moving up in the world.

Says America's knight in shining armor.

Oh, you're the one that's back in the White House.

Yeah, as an employee I don't quite get

the same benefits as when I lived here.

Captain. Yeah?

We're ready for you. Thank you.

Dylan...

be nice to Jake when you see him up there.

Moon-Tug-Ten, confirm position.

Seven miles and closing.

The slowest trip of my life.

Hey, cheer up.

There's worse things that you could be doing...

than towing a half trillion dollar weapon.

Yeah, well, I need a little more stimulation.

Hey, you know?

I didn't have to follow you up here.

Yeah, you did. You get lonely without me.

I was the youngest valedictorian

in the history of the academy.

I could have been stationed anywhere.

Like San Diego, you know?

Beaches, surfing.

You never surfed a day in your life.

But I'm a fast learner.

And I got great balance. Like a cat.

Ah, cats hate water, Charlie.

Four percent. Reverse thrust.

Roger, Tug-Ten.

Reversing thrust, four percent.

The tugs and the weapon are on final approach.

They're in position, sir.

Docking in three, two...

one.

Initiate uncoupling sequence.

All tugs disengage.

Do you realize that there are only 36 women

on this Moon Base?

I'm sure one of them will eventually come around, pal.

You know, it's not like they all rejected me.

I happen to have standards.

Whoa! What did you do?

Nothing!

That didn't sound like nothing.

Tug-Ten collided with the weapon.

The clamps have stopped.

They're not responding, sir.

All tugs, take evasive action.

Pull back! Pull back!

Charlie! It's gonna crush the base!

I said pull back!

That's a negative, sir.

This isn't a fighter, Jake.

Don't remind me!

Lt. Miller...

what are you idiots doing?

I don't know, sir!

We're gonna die! This is how I die!

Sir, he's slowing the fall.

Go to your happy place.

I'm kicking in the fusion drive.

Are you crazy? We'll burn up!

Yeah, that's very possible!

Come on!

Yes!

Yes!

It's actually working!

I honestly didn't think that was gonna work.

Oh, shit!

Jiang's coming in hot and he's got that look.

He knows we don't speak Chinese, right?

Whoo! That was a close call, sir.

You almost got us all killed.

Ah, yeah... but then I saved everyone.

You don't get credit for cleaning up your own mess.

And you destroyed one of my tugs.

Uh, actually, sir, if anybody's to blame...

Sir, I lost my focus. It won't happen again.

No, it won't.

You're grounded until further notice.

Can I still watch TV or...

You didn't have to take the fall.

Yeah, well...

He already hates me. Why break tradition?

Transport 103-ARP-1.

General Adams, we are being directed

to Alien Prison, Platform 1.

General. This better be good.

My wife and I were enjoying a very nice morning...

in a very expensive bed and breakfast.

I'm sorry, sir.

I thought you should see this.

Sir.

It started a couple of hours ago.

Look how their behavior changed.

After 20 years of being catatonic.

Get me Director Levinson.

We tried.

He's unreachable, sir.

You need to take me seriously.

I've been chasing you across the planet

for three weeks now.

But now that I have you...

Excuse me, who are you again?

Floyd Rosenberg.

Government appointed controller.

Please be advised.

Entering hostile territories.

We should slow down.

We don't wanna look like we're posing a threat.

Now, we're gonna start with Appendix 2.

I know a lot of people have

a negative reaction to being audited.

But I've found it's a constructive experience.

Lloyd. Lloyd, Lloyd.

It's Floyd.

We have to meet a friend right now,

a great guy. Come say hi.

Where are we?

Director Levinson.

Who are those men?

It's Umbutu's rebel forces.

The warlord?

I don't think there's anything to worry about.

His old man just died and I hear that the son

is much more of a moderate.

Uh, hey, fellas...

howdy doody. Say, um...

I'm looking for Dikembe Umbutu.

I see you found their armory.

The one and only, David Levinson.

Catherine, wow!

What are you doing here?

You don't think you're the only expert

he called, do you?

I'm so surprised to see you, a little bit.

I'm a little surprised that you remember my name.

Hey, hey, come on.

Let's be professional.

Well, we both remember what happened

the last time we tried to be professional.

I'm sensing a palpable tension here.

We've bumped into each other at a few conferences.

I bet you have.

Shut up, Floyd.

Director Levinson, I'm sorry.

We're not done our business here.

What papers?

Uh, it looks like this.
