- Senator Higgins: [VO] This is the story of the human race. This is the story of its guardian. A tale of love and a tale of hate. Of infinite knowledge and infinite madness. This is the tale of Gilgamesh.
- Special Agent Lars: They say you can attract more flies with honey than vinegar. But if it's flies that you're after, then rotting flesh has always seemed to do the trick.
- Angela Kozlov: Wait! I feel like I have a job for her in the White House.
- Special Agent Lars: Call it home, my dear. I like the sound of that.
- US Vice-President: What could you possibly need me for?
- Angela Kozlov: [to the US Vice-President] We need someone to clean up the dog shit in our backyard.
- Valentina Ivanov: Not that we owe you an explanation but, if you must know, your system has failed, Senator Toole.
- Senator Toole: It's not my system!
- Alexandra: That's right. It's not. It never belonged to you!
- Valentina Ivanov: It belongs to the people!
- Senator Toole: Look, the government is complex! I can't just waive a magic wand and pass a bill, ok? We voted for it!
- Alexandra: This country is being purged as we speak.
- Valentina Ivanov: By 0700, there will be none of you left. All those bills you voted on will be null.
- Alexandra: The government let my mother die of cancer. No insurance because we couldn't afford it. And you let her die in the street like a rat. Well, now the shoe is on the other foot.
- Valentina Ivanov: I was told to ignore my PTSD until they found out it wasn't actually caused by trauma. It was caused by chemical gas. The government sat by as I developed Type Two brain cancer.
- Valentina Ivanov: Should we just kill him?
- Alexandra: I've never killed anyone before.
- Valentina Ivanov: We can kill him together.
- Alexandra: Ok!
- Valentina Ivanov: [after Valentina and Alexandra murder Senator Toole] How did that feel?
- Alexandra: I don't feel anything. It's like he wasn't even human.
- Valentina Ivanov: You get used to it.
- Alexandra: Do you believe in mind control? How do...
- Valentina Ivanov: I believe it exists. Ask yourself this: is it worth giving up everything we have been fighting for just for an emotional response?
- Alexandra: Yeah...
- Valentina Ivanov: [Valentina offers a clenched fist] For the people...
- Alexandra: [Alexandra reciprocates with a clenched fist of her own] For the people.
- [They fist bump each other]
- Senator Toole: Goddamnit! The man is brainwashing you! He's using mind control! It's what he does!
- Valentina Ivanov: [Valentina kicks him] Shut up!
- Senator Toole: It's what he literally does!
- Special Agent Lars: I was going to offer you immunity for the launch codes. But since Senator Higgins has decided to play ball, we really have no use for you.
- US Vice-President: You can shove your Party up your ass, Commie!
- Special Agent Lars: That wasn't very nice. I suppose we'll just kill you now.
- Special Agent Lars: Our former Commander-In-Chief only picked you as his running mate because you are a woman of younger age. It's the New Age. You've always got to put something fresh and exciting in the White House. Why not me?
- US Vice-President: I handed you your last assignment.
- Special Agent Lars: Oh, I know. And I completed it.
- US Vice-President: It was to find the corruption in the president's circle. There was a mole at the CIA.
- Special Agent Lars: I found the corruption. It was all of you. And after the purge, it will be none of you.
- Special Agent Lars: You can now choose your method of death.
- US Vice-President: What are my options?
- Special Agent Lars: Angela?
- Angela Kozlov: Hmmm... This bitch isn't worth my sweat. Let's leave her for the rats. They deserve a little something too, you know.
- US Vice-President: No! You're the rats! You're the fucking rats!
- Special Agent Lars: They won't come if they don't smell blood. Give them a little bit of incentive.
- Senator Higgins: [VO] Some say that he's older than our planet. Older than our galaxy even. That he was manifested in the very beginning. Before space. Before time. Dust, debris, and radiation - left over from the great explosion that created the universe - created him. It was simply the right combination of elements to create life. Yet others make claim that he is a guardian sent by God Himself to watch over the human race and protect us... from ourselves. And others... question his motives. Not sent by God, but by someone - or something - else. Not to watch over us, but to corrupt us and spread fear and death.
- Senator Higgins: [VO] There are so many unexplained phenomena on our tiny little planet. Who built Stonehenge? The pyramids? That is only the tip of the iceberg. Let alone the questions that we may ponder of the vast and ever-expanding universe. Mere ants going about their daily routine... never taking the time to understand the meaning of existence. But all those questions... they have an answer. It's not a matter of these so-called mysteries having no answers. Someone has the answers - if only one man. It's a matter of do you want to know the truth? And better yet, would you want to understand truth - to comprehend it - even if you were able to?
- Kristen Murphy: So what's the pay on this one?
- David Murphy: I have no clue. They said I could retire for a few years.
- Kristen Murphy: Really? We're archaeologists. Normally we lose money.
- Kristen Murphy: You're lucky we're both science and history dorks - otherwise I'd have to divorce you.
- David Murphy: The Soviet Union under Stalin did exile thousands to this place - forced them and their families to relocate and work in camps. A few of their descendants could still be out there.
- Kristen Murphy: Well, there are locals out there. We know that for a fact, Mr. History Buff.
- David Murphy: Yes, and some of them still hold ill will towards Americans. They probably think it's 1978.
- Russian Agent: [In Russian] Stupid gun-ho Americans. They think they can come into our country and boss us around. Global bullies.
- McGuiness: So, it's just a coincidence? I mean, that we're this close to ground zero - right?
- David Murphy: Ok, guys. We're on an archeological expedition. Relax. There's no boogieman out there.
- McGuiness: Fuck you! I'm not scared of the boogieman! I don't want leukemia!
- Lt. Baker: That's all you have to do - is pretend. Got it? You'll be debriefed when we get back to the base.
- David Murphy: I'll write up a bullshit report. Sure. Then let's just get the fuck out of here.
- Lt. Stein: No signs of life. Nothing big enough to be human at least.
- David Murphy: Human? Who's out there? Cossacks?
- McGuiness: I'm gonna fucking kill you! I'm gonna slit your fucking throat! I'm gonna drink your fucking blood, you filthy, fucking cunt! I'm gonna stab you and rip your guts out...
- Kristen Murphy: So, who is this chick?
- David Murphy: It's got to be something political. Who knows - maybe the president's illegitimate daughter?
- David Murphy: Ever since her parents passed away, it's like she expects me to fill the void of two people.
- Guy Bentley: There's a very good reason why the Vatican is in Rome and not some other European city. When the Roman Empire was losing power, they changed their religion. That's what you need to do, buddy. You need to change the way you're perceived.
- David Murphy: You're pretty smart for a stupid guy.
- David Murphy: Where are you from?
- Inanna: Greece.
- David Murphy: What were you doing in Russia?
- Inanna: Some things a girl never tells.
- David Murphy: You know, I shouldn't still be drinking but one more never hurt anyone - unless you're Ted Kennedy.
- Inanna: Who's Ted Kennedy?
- David Murphy: Really? Well, I guess you ARE a tourist.
- Inanna: I can have any man that I want.
- David Murphy: You're a good looking girl. I'm sure you can.
- Inanna: [laughs] I know I can.
- David Murphy: How long were you gone for?
- Inanna: One thousand, five hundred, and sixty years.
- David Murphy: [laughs] Well, you look pretty good for your age!
- Inanna: [laughs] I feel pretty good for my age!
- David Murphy: Time to get some sleep. I'll see you around.
- Inanna: I don't require sleep. Why don't you stay out with me?
- David Murphy: Because, you see, I do require sleep.
- David Murphy: Look! You're telling me that if Brad Pitt tried to kiss you, you wouldn't freeze for just a split second?
