Movie quotes

  • (..) - What do I do? - Mm-hm. I'm the key figure in a government plot to deny the existence of extraterrestrials. It's a global conspiracy with key players in the highest levels of power. And it reaches down into the lives of every man, woman and child on this planet. So, of course, no-one believes me. (..)
