Captain Yugi Nagata: I can't believe that worked!
Alex Hopper: Yeah, Art of War, "fight the enemy where they aren't." After all these years, that finally just clicked.
Captain Yugi Nagata: But that's not what it means.
Alex Hopper: ...Really?

Captain Yugi Nagata: Not even close.

Petty Officer Cora 'Weps' Raikes: We've ended up in a department run by some kind of Donald Trump-Mike Tyson mutant combo.
Alex Hopper: What was that, Petty Officer Raikes?
Petty Officer Cora 'Weps' Raikes: Nothing, sir.
Alex Hopper: I swear you said Donald Trump. Wanna clarify? I think I heard a "Mike Tyson"

as well.
Petty Officer Cora 'Weps' Raikes: If you did, it was only in reference to the fact that you both project great physical intensity, sir.
Alex Hopper: That's flattering.

Secretary of Defense: [from the Pentagon] Just scramble the jets, Admiral! We need to get in there-!
Admiral Shane: I'm far more aware than you of the need to get inside! But wasting lives will not help! You want me to send up another plane? I'll do it the second you get up here and put your ass in the co-pilot's seat, *sir*!

Petty Officer Cora 'Weps' Raikes: My dad said they'd come. He said it his whole life. He said we ain't alone. He said one day, either we'd find them, or they'd find us. Know what else he said? He said, "I hope I ain't around when that day comes."

Lieutenant Colonel Mick Canales: You ready?
Cal Zapata: I'm sorry, but there is no way that I am going down there. I do not possess that kind of courage.
Lieutenant Colonel Mick Canales: Right now, you're going to acquire that courage, or else I'm going to break my steel leg off in your ass. You

feel me?
Cal Zapata: I feel you.
Lieutenant Colonel Mick Canales: Go. Now.
Cal Zapata: [gets up] Acquiring courage... acquiring courage...

Admiral Shane: [Reprimends Alex Hopper] What is wrong with you? You've got skills, but I have never, EVER seen a man waste them like you. Keep the ship out of the surf and spray...
Alex Hopper: [interrupts Admiral Shane] ... or you'll plunge to destruction. Homer, Sir.
Admiral Shane: The fact that you know that infuriates me beyond

words. What my daughter sees in you is a great mystery to me. You're a very smart individual, with very weak character, leadership and decision-making skills. Do you have anything to say to me, ANYTHING?
Alex Hopper: Negative, Sir.
Admiral Shane: Enjoy these naval exercises, Hopper. They're likely to be your last. Dismissed!
