Battleship (film)

"[to Stone Hopper; angrily, but calmly] What is wrong with you? You've got skills but I have never, EVER, seen a man waste them like you. Keep the ship out of the surf and spray... [Stone: Or you will plunge to destruction. Homer, sir] The fact that you know that infuriates me beyond words. What my daughter sees in you is a great mystery to me. You're a very smart individual with very weak character, leadership and decision-making skills. Do you have anything to say to me? Anything? [Stone: Negative, sir] Enjoy these naval exercises, Hopper. They're likely to be your last. Dismissed."

"We take great pride in honoring the many men and women who demonstrated exceptional gallantry in the face of overwhelming enemy force. Valor and courage were exhibited by so many... that I cannot honor them all. It is my great privilege to recognize those few whose actions deserve special note. Lieutenant Colonel, United States Army, Retired- Mick Canales. [...] The President of the United States takes great pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Commander Stone Hopper, for extraordinary heroism. Receiving the award on behalf of his brother- Lieutenant Commander Alex Hopper. [After receiving his brother's Navy Cross, Alex Hopper turns to leave] Stand fast, Mr. Hopper. It is my great pleasure to present you with the Silver Star, for your exceptional heroism and gallantry in combat operations. And I look forward to seeing you at sea on a ship of your own command. Soon."

"Sir, I can't explain this. We've lost communication with everyone on the other side of the barrier. We can't get in, and they can't get out."

"[After the Secretary of Defense demands that Shane try to send more planes at the aliens' force field, which is impenetrable] I'm far more aware than you of the need to get inside, but wasting lives will not help! You want me to send up another plane? I'll do it the second you get up here and put your ass in the co-pilot's seat, SIR!"

"[The morning after Alex has broken into a convenience store to get a chicken burrito and been arrested by the police, Alex wakes up in an ice bath while his brother is yelling at him.] I've had it! Look at yourself! How is it that you screw everything up?! Oh, by the way, that girl you were trying to impress last night? Do you know who her father is? Admiral Shane! He runs the whole damn fleet! So now, you're messing with MY JOB! MY LIFE! Now I've always stayed out of your business, haven't I? 'Cause I was hoping that maybe one day, you would learn from your mistakes- you would grow up, you would mature a bit! You're 26, and what've you got? You've got, $65 to your name? A car that doesn't start, you're living on my couch... [Alex has managed to get out of the ice bath Stone threw him in while he was passed out; he is now sitting on the couch.] As of right now, as of right this second there's a new dynamic at play. And this dynamic is the following: from here on, until I state otherwise, there will be no more debate, no more discussion, no more compromise! It's me speaking, you listening! Me saying, you doing. Do you understand that? [Pauses] It's time for a new course of action. A new direction; a game change. You're joining me in the Navy."
