- Dan Forester: If there's one thing that the world needs right now, it's scientists. We cannot stop innovating. That's how you solve a problem.
- James Forester: I wish Stevie Nicks would show up in her birthday suit with a jar of pickles and a bottle of baby oil.
- Dan Forester: [to Muri] You know what it takes to be the best. You got to say to yourself, "I will do what nobody else is willing to do".
- James Forester: Did you tell it to die?
- Dan Forester: Yeah.
- James Forester: It worked. Why didn't you tell it sooner?
- Dan Forester: [to Dorian] I'm not a hero. I was trying to save my daughter. If I got to save the world to save her, then I'm damn sure gonna do it.
- Dan Forester: [to Muri] I am not going to leave you here to die. I'm coming back for you. And you and me, we're gonna save this world. Together.
- James Forester: So, how was the future? Miami Dolphins still suck?
- Dan Forester: I need a plane... And a pilot... To fly undetected into Russian airspace, so I can get a team of soldiers to the top of a glacier island, in order to find... an alien spaceship.
- James Forester: Wow, you know, they say ids never come by unless the need something...
- Dan Forester: I need you help.
- James Forester: I'll get my coat.
- Colonel Muri Forester: You gotta leave me here.
- Dan Forester: Hey, we'll just sit here for a little while, okay?
- Colonel Muri Forester: Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I said all those things to you. I shouldn't have said them. I was angry and I didn't mean to hurt you.
- Dan Forester: It's okay.
- Colonel Muri Forester: I'm so happy I got to see you like this. How you were when I was a kid. This is how I remember you.
- Dan Forester: We can't quit. We cannot quit right now. We can't do this right now. Oh, no.
- Colonel Muri Forester: You have to take this.
- Dan Forester: No, no, no, I'm not leaving you. No.
- Colonel Muri Forester: You gotta leave me. We were never going to make it. You need to make sure this never happens.
- Dan Forester: Yeah.
- Colonel Muri Forester: I love you, dad.
- Colonel Muri Forester: They have no use for prisoners or government, technology, money... nothing. We are food. And they are hungry.
- [last lines]
- Dan Forester: I'll never leave this family. Because my best future, it turns out, was always right in front of me.
- Colonel Muri Forester: This is the end. Within the next few weeks, the human species will disappear from the face of the earth. We are literally living on borrowed time.
- Dan Forester: [to Emmy] I don't know what's gonna happen to me if I go, but you and I both know what will happen to all of us if I stay.
- Colonel Muri Forester: Nothing about this for me is sentimental. I didn't in any way bring you here because I wanted to spend time with my father. I brought you here for a reason.
- James Forester: Did you tell it to die?
- Dan Forester: Yeah.
- James Forester: It worked. Why didn't you do it sooner?
- Dan Forester: Yeah. Yeah. Let's just take a little break...
