The President of the US-AI on radio:
[reference to Independence Day]
We won't go silently into the night.
[I am trying to make a personal point here]
God bless America, we're all God's people and He does not make mistakes. We do.
God bless the World, the Chinese, the Mexicans, the Commonwealth and the European Union, the dear people of Russia who have no idea what's going on in the Ukraine (Butterflies and flowers in this story, alien invasion in real life). We should all unite and stand tall against the Krell machines. Let's remember. The Krell were once a peaceful and highly civilized species, a million years ahead of us. Let's not make the mistakes they made. Let's prove together there's intelligent life in the Universe after all.
[tripod howl)
Daisy:
There's a tripod machine down there. Turn off the lights. I am afraid the airforce will try to take it down.
Brian:
Daisy, you just said the A-word.
Daisy:
Shoot! I take that back. I am not afraid. It's just a big camera stand.
Brian:
999 998 997.. 996
[strikefighter flies by]
General Wells on radio: TG1 target confirmed.
Brian:
Damn... We're toast.
Daisy:
What's your biggest fear?
Brian:
Being on a ferry when it tips over and there's no time to get off the ship.
Daisy:
Well, that's definitely not going to happen.

[policecar crashes into a tripod and rolls through the soundstage]
General Wells: Policecar: zero, Tripod: 12 points

Brian:
Walker is on his way to the White House. I am convinced he will make it and share the Knowledge. In the meantime the library will keep us safe.
General Wells on radio:
A policecar just crashed in Central Park, target is nine clicks away and heading to the public library. Let's give it all we have. Top Guns, you are cleared to fire at will.
Brian:
Ah, come on! Seriously???

General Wells on radio:
Special broadcast for science people hiding in the library. You need to evacuate on the double. Uh... Go to the Upper Bay ferry now, my special forces will ensure safe passage and escort you to the National Institute for Noise Studies. Semper Fi.

Daisy: Come on, We need to hurry!
Brian: Can we please hurry more slowly? I have a very, I mean, a very bad feeling about this.

Ferry Captain:
Boarding is now closed, the ferry can't take anymore cars and passengers.
Daisy:
Ah, We made it! Semper Fi.

[in the middle of the bay]
Just count backwards.
Brian (counting):
665 664 663
We are idiots! I am sick and tired of your fluffy flower power goatmeal bull. But I am NOT going down with this ship today.

General Wells on radio:
Ferry team, we have movement. Three clicks away, Go to full stop. Now!

Brian:
There's something down there. In the water. I see blue and purple lights moving
(passenger) and it isn't mother nature.
Special Forces leader:
People listen up, we have hostile activity at the starboard bough. Brace for impact.
[weird noise and tripod rises from the water[
Brian:
We gotta get off this ship.
[ferry tips over and tripod throws with cars]
[underwater]


The President of the US-AI on radio:
I bring you great news. This could be a turningpoint in this dark history, and the chance of a lifetime to rewrite it. With the joint effort of all beautiful minds in the World, we managed to design a musical device that blocks your fears and nightmares. It provides room to focus on the best things we have to offer to ourselves and each other. I ask you to lay down your weapons, because they only emphasize the fact that you're terrified. They will just backfire and fuel the Krell Machinery. Practise this ground thought: What you fear most will never happen.
And start building on that. I will broadcast this message in all languages of the World. What you fear most will never happen.
Trust me, it works. I am not afraid anymore. I am not afraid of anything.
Assistant:
Mr. President, we have to go...
President:
I am NOT going anywhere.
[surfacing sounds, heroic Hans Zimmer stuff]

[What you fear most will never happen in over eight languages, except the last one (Ukrainean) translates as 'what we feared most, did not happen'. Please note this is my personal 'mantra' for coping with irrational fears. Real fear is functional and can save your life. Irrational fear isn't functional].

Daisy:
Well, we're off the ship allright, see? We're still alive and you're gonna be fine.
Brian:
Yeah, that wasn't so bad. I guess there's something far worse that will never happen.

General Wells on radio:
We have new orders, top guns! Stand down and return to base for strawberry icecream and a huge coctail with sugar on the edge and a tiny paper umbrella. I repeat...
Michael:
For the very first time in this living nightmare, the Krell Machinery revealed little cracks in their flawlessly imagined designs and creations. In a world completely dominated by fear, a spark of hope is like sugar in a fueltank.
