Air Force One (1997)

Share this quote on facebook [in Russian, addressing state dinner in Moscow] The dead remember our indifference; the dead remember our silence. [turns back to English] I came here tonight to be congratulated. But today, when I visited the Red Cross camps, overwhelmed by the flood of refugees fleeing the horror of Kazakhstan, I realize I don't deserve to be congratulated. None of us do. The truth is we acted too late. Only when our own national security was threatened did we act. Radek's regime murdered over 200,000 men, women and children and we watched it on TV. We let it happen. People were being slaughtered for over a year and we issued economic sanctions and hid behind the rhetoric of diplomacy. How dare we? The dead remembered: real peace is not just the absence of conflict, it's the presence of justice. And tonight I come to you with a pledge to change America's policy. Never again will I allow our political self-interest to deter us from doing what we know to be morally right. Atrocity and terror are not political weapons, and to those who would use them, your day is over. We will never negotiate. We will no longer tolerate and we will no longer be afraid. It's your turn to be afraid.

Bennett: The president is up there with a gun to his head!
General Northwood: He's asking us to do that? To Air Force One?!
Bennett: He's not asking. Your commander-in-chief has issued a direct order. DO IT!

Share this quote on facebook Vice-President Kathryn Bennett: What are your intentions?
Egor Korshunov: What arrogance to think you could ever understand my intentions.
Bennett: I want to understand what it is that you want.
Korshunov: What do I want...When Mother Russia becomes one great nation again, when the capitalists are dragged from the Kremlin and then shot in the street, when our enemies run and hide in fear at the mention of our name, and when America begs our forgiveness...on that great day of deliverance, you will know what I want.

Share this quote on facebook Egor Korshunov: I know what you're thinking, First Lady. You want me dead. Well, it might come to that. In the war, people die.
Grace: This isn't war! You just murdered an unarmed woman.
Egor Korshunov: You, who murdered a 100,000 Iraqis to save a nickel on a gallon of gas. Are going to lecture me about the rules of war? Don't!

Share this quote on facebook Egor Korshunov: Madam Vice President, the time has come for you to show your good faith. I've read your press kits. I understand Air Force One is able to refuel in midair. Well, we need fuel and we need it now.
Vice-President Kathryn Bennett: I'm sure we can come to some kind of arrangement. If you land the plane, we'll trade fuel for hostages.
Korshunov: This is bullshit! It's simple physics. Without fuel, the plane crashes, everybody dies!
Bennett: We're trying to do everything that we can-
Korshunov: [Angrily] Tell me what I want to hear or I will execute a member of the senior staff and continue killing one hostage every minute until the plane crash or refueling plane arrive! [Calmly] Well, what do you say?
Bennett: Fuel's on its way.
Korshunov: [Politely] Thank you.

President James Marshall: You don't wanna do that. I'm what you came for, don't forget that.
Egor Korshunov: Then I'll kill them. Or just one? You pick. That's what you do in the White House? You play God.
President James Marshall: You're not here for this, you want something. What is it?
Egor Korshunov: I want Radek.
President James Marshall: How can I do that? I can't do that!
Egor Korshunov: Then you die the three of you.
President James Marshall: I'll do anything to save my family DON'T ASK ME FOR SOMETHING I CAN'T GIVE!
