Independence Day Page #2

It was turned on, I

was ignoring you.

Hello. What's the...

What's the big

emergency?

It started

this morning.

Every station's making

like it's the 1950s.

We got static. We got snow.

All kinds of distortions.

Nobody knows...

What are you doing? There's a reason

we have bins labeled recycle.

What the hell

is going on?

My God in heaven.

So sue me, David!

We got a problem.

DAVID:
Did you, try to

switch transponder channels?

MARTY:
Oh, please. You think I'd be this

panicked if it was something simple?

Ok. Let's point the dish

at another satellite.

MARTY:
We tried that.

It didn't work.

It's almost as though

they weren't even there.

All right. What've

we got here?

This is impossible.

MAN:
We created a

race of robots.

Their function...

TROY:
Miguel, the signal's

all screwed up.

MIGUEL:
Stop it.

Just leave it alone.

You're gonna break

it, all right?

It's so fuzzy.

Oh, no.

Good morning, Lucas.

You see these?

LUCAS:
I got a whole god

damn crop full of these.

If your father's not in

the air in 20 minutes...

I'm getting

someone else.

Russell!

RUSSELL:
Hey, Miguel!

(LAUGHING EXCITEDLY)

(SCREAMING)

Whoa!

Yahoo!

MIGUEL:
Russell! What

are you doing?

(MOTORS RUNNING)

(AIRPLANE RUNNING)

Just what in the hell do

you think you're doing?

Whoa! (GROANS)

It's the wrong

field, you idiot.

Lucas' farm is on the

other side of town.

(ROOSTERS CROWING FAINTLY)

Are you sure?

(ENGINES RUNNING LOUDLY)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

MAN:
CNS is running a story

that we're covering up

some type of nuclear

testing experiment.

So tell them to run with it if

they want to embarrass themselves.

NASA's been on my

butt all morning.

They want to know

our position.

Our official position is we

have no official position.

Connie, what is

going on here?

Come on guys, would I

keep you out of the loop?

Yes, absolutely.

In a second.

So what? I can't

hear you.

At the moment our satellites

are somewhat unreliable.

Isn't it possible that this

thing may just pass us by?

ALBERT:
What if it

doesn't pass us by?

Let's retarget some ICBMs

to blow it outta the sky.

And risk turning one dangerous

falling object into many?

TOM:
We don't yet know enough

about what we're dealing with

to make any kind of

intelligent judgments.

Luckily, the press is making up

their own story at this point.

CONNIE:
But that's

not gonna keep.

We may need to

upgrade to DEFCON 3.

ALBERT:
Absolutely.

General contact NORAD.
