【选段台词】

NIMZIKI: That thing's a wreck. It crash landed back in the fifties! We don't even know if it's capable of flying.

DAVID: Jim, remove the clamps! Any other questions?

PRESIDENT: Let's do it. Good luck,pilot!

STEVE: Thank you, Mr. President.

DAVE: Do you really think you can fly that thing?

STEVE: Do you really think you can do all that bullshit you just said?

NIMZIKI: I understand you are upset over your wife’s death. But that’s no excuse for making another fatal mistake.

PRESIDENT: No, the only mistake was to appoint a sniveling weasel like you as Secretary of Defense.

NIMZIKI: You don’t understand!

PRESIDENT: However, that is one mistake I am thankful to say that I don’t have to live with.

NIMZIKI: Mr. President...

PRESIDENT: Mr. Nimziki, you’re fired.
