Memorable quotes for
Star Wars (1977)
[Han, Luke, Leia and Chewie land in the trash compactor]
Han Solo: Garbage chute. Really wonderful idea. What an incredible smell you've discovered! Let's get out of here! Get away from there...
Luke: No, wait...!
[Han draws his laser pistol and fires at the hatch. The laser bolt ricochets wildly around the small room. Everyone dives for cover in the garbage as the bolt finally explodes]
Luke: Will you forget it? I already tried it. It's magnetically sealed!
Princess Leia: Put that thing away, you're gonna get us all killed!
Han Solo: Absolutely, Your Worship. Look, I had everything under control until you led us down here! Now it's not going to take them long to figure out what happened to us.
Princess Leia: It could be worse.
[Garbage creature growls]
Han Solo: It's worse.

Memorable quotes for
Screamers (1995)
Hendricksson: What are we doing? What in God's name are we doing Chuck?
Chuck Elbarak: We don't know if it’s true about Green, I mean we just saw...
Hendricksson: We saw bullshit is what we saw. You know as well as I do they can send us anything they want. Hell, they can make a goddamn hologram out of a dog and pony show.
Chuck Elbarak: That kid doesn't know policy, he’s a grunt...
Hendricksson: Get your head outta the lilacs man.
Chuck Elbarak: What do you expect me to believe here? That we're being dumped just like that? That twenty years of death and a stand against the horror up here has turned into a fucking galactic gold rush? Why do they keep sending us provisions? What do you think, that they're waiting for us to grow old and die up here so they can... carry on running the universe?
Hendricksson: Yes.
Chuck Elbarak: Well fuck you, I don't buy it!
Hendricksson: Well wake up man! We are betrayed here brother. We are beached! We're stuck, you heard that kid! Greens been shit-canned and this whole goddamn place is a lie! I mean, they just can't cut us off up here, because too many families on earth would raise hell about it and they sure as hell ain't gonna take us back there! If we sound off about this, nobody's gonna fight their fucking war for them. So they're just gonna let us roll on and on and on up here... until we're dead and we ain't ever getting off here Chuck. I'll tell you something else, Marshall Richard Cooper and his NEB command knows it goddamn well too, and that’s why he sent us a goddamn map! And your single, solitary NEB grunt came over here and got his ass shot to stop this thing! They know its pointless now!

The Final Countdown
:32:27
Skipper, the F-14s
are on top of the contact.
:32:32
Alert 1, this is Eagle 1.
What have you got?
:32:34
We've overflown
the craft, sir.
:32:37
It's a civilian yacht,
flying U.S. flag
:32:40
about 50 feet in length,
old but in mint condition.
:32:43
- Over.
- Hold observation position.
:32:46
Dispatching [ A-6 ] tanker
for refueling.
:32:58
Stand clear, Path 1.
:33:00
[ A-6 ] tanker departing.
:33:08
The challenger's back with one,
two, three jabs to the mouth.
:33:11
Louis responds with a right to the head.
Cuts with a left to the body.
:33:14
- Brings it up to the head.
- Hey, who's that fighting?
:33:17
- Louis takes another left and a right.
- I don't know.
:33:20
Louis is staggered by a right to the jaw.
He almost goes down.
:33:24
There's the bell ending round 12.
:33:26
Look sharp, feel sharp
:33:29
Be sharp and listen, mister
How are you fixed for blades
:33:32
- Do you have plenty?
- How are you fixed for blades
:33:35
You're better off...
:33:37
Let's get some air.
:33:40
Captain's off the Bridge.
:33:44
I don't know.
:33:48
Dan, what's this all about?
What do you make of it?
:33:52
Nostalgia broadcasting
on the Armed Forces band.
:33:55
Broadcasting
after a strike? Nah.
:33:58
Excuse me.
:34:02
Sir, is it possible that this could be
part of some secret naval maneuver?
:34:06
- Course not.
- There are a few people
:34:09
- who'd like to watch us work under pressure.
- What are you saying, Dan?
:34:13
The Department of Defense sent
him out here.
:34:15
Maybe they wanted
to give him something to watch.
:34:17
Now, that makes more sense
than anything else so far.
:34:20
Now, wait a minute, gentlemen. You may
be the victims of some kind of joke.
:34:24
But whether the Pentagon's
behind it
:34:25
or the Kremlin
or some little green men from Mars
:34:28
I promise you, I'm as much
in the dark about it as you are.

The Final Countdown
:39:37
but we also have to consider
one alternative possibility.
:39:40
What's that?
:39:41
The possibility that what's
happening here is real.
:39:44
[ That's ] ridiculous.
:39:46
Maybe, but we have some
pretty strong evidence, sir.
:39:49
Let's not just write off one
possible explanation for it
:39:52
- because we don't happen to like it.
- How would that be possible?
:39:55
- Could you explain that to me?
- No, sir, I can't.
:39:58
But all of us know that movement
through time is possible.
:40:00
Einstein proved it.
:40:02
- In theory.
- In theory.
:40:04
So all we have to do is move
through some storm at sea, and bingo...
:40:06
we're all much more
clever than Einstein.
:40:09
What sort of storm was that, Commander?
Certainly nothing like I've ever seen.
:40:12
Nothing like any of us
have ever seen.
:40:15
There are forces in the universe
:40:17
which we're only now just
beginning to understand.
:40:19
I mean, understand through science,
not superstition.
:40:21
There are black holes in space,
antimatter, curved space...
:40:24
things that are as strange to us
:40:25
as electricity would have been
to people in the Middle Ages
:40:28
or this ship
in World War II.

This was a pleasant surprise. I was disappointed though when I first saw them that they were preparing to leave. I think this is the one at the link below. I love these ships. Who needs a parade when you can watch a U.S. Navy warship getting underway? If I could choose any ship I wanted for a personal yacht, it would be a Burke-class destroyer.
