Quotes 

• Cedric Yonah : I wonder what giant leap for mankind will be attained if you sign his order.

• Cedric Yonah : What are you afraid of General?

  General John Reager : It's not about being afraid it's about knowing who they are and what they want.

• Cedric Yonah : Your Xenophobia General is painfully apparent. What does Reager stand for? Something Germanic isn't it. How fitting someone with a Germanic name talks about identifying people. How fitting such a person commands a military apparatus...

  General John Reager : How dare you compare me to...

  Cedric Yonah : I'm not comparing you to anyone except yourself.

• Cedric Yonah : If Reager is developing what I think he is, the balance of power could shift in such a direction that life on this planet... as we know it... will be over.

• Cedric Yonah : My involvement in all this started before the war.

  Major Ellen Sampson : Iraq?

  Cedric Yonah : World War Two.

• Cedric Yonah : Governments spend billions on space exploration and the search for extraterrestrial life. Earth scientists have discovered nearly 1,000 extrasolar planets. Some in the habitable zone. Radio telescopes beaming and beaming hoping to make contact. And what happens?

  [turns to Reager] 

  Cedric Yonah : You discover they're right here.

• Cedric Yonah : Just because you don't know someone doesn't mean they're your enemy. They could be your friend.

• Cedric Yonah : You lied to Reager either because you didn't understand what you detected or didn't want to understand it.

  Major Ellen Sampson : I could go to jail for this.

  Cedric Yonah : You're already in a jail of conflict. An untenable command structure.

• Major Ellen Sampson : How old are you?

  Cedric Yonah : Old enough to never forget.

  Major Ellen Sampson : Why are you here?

  Cedric Yonah : Answers. You honestly don't believe we're the only ones here, do you?

  Major Ellen Sampson : Where are you from?

  Cedric Yonah : Earth...
