JJ CollinsHey. Another thing. Never call a woman by anything other than her name. Not honey, or honey pie, or sugar, or sugar pie, or sweetie, or sweetie pie. Not baby, sweetheart, ho, bitch, and above all, most of all, beyond all else, don't ever, ever, call her darlin'.

JJ's DadWhat's the one thing I've taught you since you were little? The one rule in life?
AlexanderI'm not complaining. I was the product of a failed society. A society that consistently rewards money and ignores everything else.

Game TheoristBy my calculations, your proposed plan has a 14% chance of success. To give up that command center to a superior force with no certainty of regaining it is what we refer to as a negative outcome inducing event. Are you serious with this shit? Are you willing to gamble every life in America on your ability to retake the center?
Game TheoristI'm sorry. I cannot endorse such a move.
JJ CollinsListen, genius. You're saying my plan is running at 14%? Yours is zero! You haven't been beat up, strangled, or shot defending this rig today. So I think you'll find I'm kind of fucking motivated here.

AlexanderDo you know anything about the fall of Rome? When the barbarians massed outside the city gates they did unspeakable things to try and force the Romans to let them in. Exitus actum probat. The result justifies the deed.
AlexanderIn America? You've never been mocked for your faith? Never been the subject to enhanced screenings at airports? Share the world what you've seen.
ShahI've seen you in the showers, and I can see why you're obsessed with missiles.
Soldier[radio transmission] May Day, May Day! We are under attack. Under attack from our own people. They just started shooting. They took out everyone.

President WallaceOh, and you have another visitor.
AlexanderThis is Captain Joanna Julia Collins. J.J. to her friends. A soldier who has fought with honor and courage here today. Now, three years ago, one of our nation's top generals tried to abuse his position of power and force her to have sex with him. Whose career you think was ruined? You should be... showering her with praise, but she's a woman. So instead, her fellow service members put a bounty hunt on photos like this.

AlexanderMy fellow Americans, I am Alexander Kessel, son of trust fund billionaire, Alexander Kessel Senior, who you may also know is the current utterly unqualified US ambassador to the United Nations. Now, my associates in Russia control 16 nuclear missiles, and I control the only interceptor missiles that are capable of stopping them. Sixteen American cities have been targeted. 300 million of you will die. One city will be destroyed first so that the rest of you can watch in horror. Missile team one... fire.
AlexanderNow in 12 minutes, that missile I just launched, will pass over my head, at which point, it will be too late for this interceptor to catch it. But which city has been chosen? Is it yours? Wherever it lands, there's no time to run. You can't flee. If you guessed Los Angeles, congratulations. The City of Angels has 23 minutes left to live.
AlexanderI will launch a second wave of 15 nuclear missiles. San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas, Cincinnati, Dallas, Denver, Memphis, Chicago, St. Louis, Atlanta, Boston, Philadelphia, Miami, New York. And of course, Washington DC.
[the missile is on a direct course towards L.A.]
AlexanderToday... America dies in a paroxysm of fear. America is the greatest lie ever told. American exceptionalism? Maybe once. When the founders got rid of kings. When they declared that all men are created equal. Now they say ours are United States, but when was that true? Was it true during the Civil War? Or Jim Crow? Hell, is it true now? You know, this national lie, it's a festering wound, and it's fatal. There's no Band-Aid to patch it. No, the only way to save our nation and the promise it once held is to erase it. Start over. So maybe then, when we are staring at each other from across the rubble, we will all agree that this time we're going to get America right.
