Woman: Wait a minute, this can’t be right. The calculated source is only 5,000 kilometers. It’s coming from the moon.
[ Man #1 turns up signal ]

[ David has gotten the hidden signal through the fax machine and takes it to everyone to show them ]
David: Listen to this. I got the pattern on the signal and we can filter it out, but… if my calculations are right, it’s gonna be gone in, like 7 hours anyway; it’s recycling itself everytime we look at it, so, eventually, it’s gonna disa…ppear– are you listening?
Man: Can you believe this? DAVID, HAVEN’T YOU BEEN WATCHIN’?! DAVID!

David: Tell her to pack up and leave town.
Marty: Why? What happened?
David: JUST DO IT!
Marty: Ma, get your stuff together and head for Aunt Esthers! Don’t argue with me, just go! [ Hangs up phone ] Why did I just send my mother to Atlanta?! DAVID! DAVID, TALK TO ME!
David: Did you hear me tell you that this signal is slowly recycling down to extinction?
Marty: Not really.
David: It’s a countdown.
Marty: A countdown? A-A COUNTDOWN TO WHAT, DAVID?!
David: Uh, it’s like in chess: First you strategically position your pieces, then when the timing is right, you… strike. See?
[ Looks at TV ] They’ve positioned themselves all over the world, usin’ this one signal to synchronize their efforts. In approximately 6 hours, the signal’s gonna be gone and the countdown’s gonna be over.
Marty: AND THEN WHAT?!
David: Checkmate.
Marty: [ Gasps in Terror ] OH, MY GOD!! OH, MY GOD!! I’d better call my Grandma, I’d better call my housekeeper, I’d better call my lawyer– uh… forget my lawyer!

[ The giant alien ship has covered the whole city, causing terror, horror and insecurity ]
Constance: Now what do we do?
President Whitmore: Address the nation. There’s gonna be a lot of frightened people out there.
Constance: Yeah… I’m one of them.
[ Scene goes to the Steve Hiller’s house and Steve and Jasmine’s Labrador Retriever, Boomer, terrified by the quake earlier, jumps on Steve and Jasmine’s bed with a shoe in his mouth ]
Steve: Hey, hey, hey, come on!
Jasmine: He’s just tryin’ to impress ya.
Steve: If you wanna impress ME, you gotta get a job and stop slobberin’ all over my shoe.
[ He walks into the bathroom, puts up the toilet seat, urinates, and looks out the window and sees everyone moving out.
Steve: I don’t believe this. Jasmine! Neighbours movin’ out. Guess they finally got tired’a all these quakes. A little shake and they runnin’!

[His father has just thrown a styrofoam cup on the ground during a game of chess].
David: Do you have any idea how long it takes for those cups to decompose?
Julius: If you don’t move soon, I’m gonna start to decompose.
