• Utopia : [after Snake shuts down the entire planet] 

  Utopia : He did it! He shut down the Earth!

• President : [final scene, talking to Plissken's hologram]  What's it going to be, Plissken? Them or us?

  Snake Plissken : I shut down the third world, you win they lose. I shut down America, they win, you lose. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

  President : So what are you going to do?

  Snake Plissken : Disappear.

  Brazen : [Plissken types 6-6-6 into the satellite control]  He's entered the world code. No target code. Sir, that will shut down the entire planet.

  Snake Plissken : I told you you'd better hope I didn't make it back.

  Malloy : You push that button, 500 years' worth of work will be finished. Our technology, our way of life, our entire history. We'll have to start all over again. For God's sakes, don't do it, Snake!

  Snake Plissken : The name's Plissken.

  Utopia : [Plissken activates the satellites, shutting down all power, which saves Utopia from being executed in the electric chair]  He did it! He shut down the Earth!

  Snake Plissken : [Lights a cigarette and blows out the match used to light it]  Welcome to the human race.

• Cuervo Jones : That looks like Snake Plissken!

  Utopia : Who?

  Cuervo Jones : He used to be a gunfighter. He kind of faded out of the scene a few years ago. I hear he slowed down some.

  Utopia : He don't look that slow Cuervo!

  Cuervo Jones : Nobody rolls into town and direspects me! Not Snake Plissken, not nobody! Bolas!

• Utopia : To the American people! now it's the time to rise up and demand the surrender of the President and his corrupt theocracry! of lies and terror!

  Utopia : Today is day one of a brand new world. The days of Empire are finished; to the President... my father... you know what's in here... unless you open your borders, allow all the wrognfully accused, to return to their country... I will use this, on you and on the United States...

• Cuervo Jones : Hey, Presidente, silence is golden, no? Don't tell me you didn't enjoy this - just a little bit. I mean, if your wife's anything like your daughter, she's sweet to me, you just can't shut her up.

  Utopia : Hey, knock it off, Cuervo.

• Utopia : This is insane.

  Cuervo Jones : It is! That's the point.
