How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Independence Day.
Quote #1
STEVE: Look, why don't you get some things packed and you and Dylan come stay with me on the base? And you will see that there is nothing to be scared of.
When Steve has to leave for the base to help with the alien sitch, he invites his girlfriend, Jasmine, to come with—since she's (understandably) freaking out about all the ships in the sky. Steve is putting on a brave face and, whether he believes it or not, trying to keep Jasmine from assuming the aliens are hostile.
Quote #2
PRESIDENT: Although it's understandable that many of us feel a sense of hesitation or even fear, we must attempt to reserve judgment.
When the aliens first arrive, the President attempts to calm people's fears—after all, he suggests, we don't know for sure that they're up to anything, right?
