"Intrusion." "Sorry." "Talk to me." "We got somebody in our database with a knife and fork." "No, make that a shovel." "They're backdoor through a hacked account." "Someone knows what they're doing." " Any idea?" " RIPLEY's tracing it." "Oh, Christ, get that image off the screen." "At least we know who's watching." "But he didn't need to see her like that." "RIPLEY:" "Tracing file access." "Inserting mobile tracking software." " What's RIPLEY gonna do?" " In all likelihood, she's already done it." "This is Carter." "Who have we got up at Montreal?" " Do you think that was her?" " I couldn't really tell." "She's got bad sinuses from working around chemicals all these years." "When she gets a cold, if she's not careful, it turns to pneumonia." " Will, Will, we can't stay here." " Why?" "Because there is someone watching us in the doorway across from the café." "This guy." "I ran into him before at the airport." " A guy?" "What guy?" "What did you say?" " I..." "Nothing." "He seemed innocent." "I just ran into him." "Oh, jeez!" "Annie, go." "(GASPS)" "(HONKING)" "Over here." "This way." "I think we lost them." "ANNIE:" "Go, go, go, go!" "WILL:" "Down here." "(HONKING)" "(PANTING)" " Okay, did we lose them?" " WILL:" "Yeah, I think so." "It's crazy." "Oh, Jesus!" "Come on, run." "(THUDDING)" "(SPEAKING FRENCH)" " Where are we going?" " The subway." "Just trust me." "This way!" "Cut them off!" " Are they following us?" " I don't know." "(ANNIE SCREAMS)" "Are you okay?" "(GASPING)" "RIPLEY:" "Tracing mobile transponder." "We gotta be bugged." "Did they give you anything at orientation?" "I didn't get that far, remember?" "Wait." "Wait." "Your cell phone." "Stupid." "Will!" "Will!" "RIPLEY:" "Connection lost." "Connection lost." "Will." "(CRYING)" "(SHUSHING)" "It's okay." "It's all right." " We're gonna stay here till after dark." " No, no, they're gonna come after us." "They won't." " I'm sorry." "I'm so sorry." " I just wanna go home." "The girl's cell phone, found it 12 miles down the track." "They're still searching." "They haven't found the kids, you know." " You want some fries?" " Yes, thank you." "RIPLEY have any guesses where they're going?" "I don't think RIPLEY guesses about anything." "I think RIPLEY relies on her amazing feminine intuition." "Sorry, RIP, didn't mean to make that sound offensive." "(PEOPLE SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGES)" " And the mother?" " She's still in ICU." "They're doing tests on her." "Nobody's sure exactly what she's got." "Does Hassert know any of this?" "BILL:" "You didn't speak to him?" "You know, I spoke with him earlier." "He's confident that RIPLEY's following protocols and that we should do the same thing." "RIPLEY premature in any of this?" "Who knows?" "That profile certainly fits." "Kid and his mother both disenfranchised after what happened to the father." "The kid with outstanding computer and chem weapon knowledge." "And the stuff that we found in that kitchen..." "There's stuff there that could be used to make a bio-weapon, which could trigger the decon system, or it could be used to make anti-bacterial mouthwash." "And where are the samples?" "That's the thing." "She won't tell us." " What?" " Yeah." "Hassert gave RIPLEY priority to classify on her own discretion." " Even from us?" " Yeah." " What do you think?" " Thinking is..." "RIPLEY:" "Bioterror threat, level 3." "Decontamination system on standby." "Back at the café, when my e-date was wowing me with his mastery of the Internet," "I asked him if he ever heard about RIPLEY." "Let me guess, he claimed he owned the concept." "Not exactly, but he did help me do a Google search, which, yes, I could have done myself, but you said to distract him." "Did you ever hear about a guy named Stephen Falken?" "He designed the old system, the one that they replaced with RIPLEY." "The Joshua Project." "I know what the Joshua Project was." "I just had no idea it was replaced by RIPLEY." "No, not just that." "When RIPLEY took over, Falken went crazy." "He threatened to kill himself to stop them, and then they ignored him." "And one day he just rode his truck off a bridge." "He killed himself?" "Just an urban legend." "And he had remarried, he had a wife and two kids." "A hell of a protest." "I think I just found a way out." "I'm just gonna stay here." "RIPLEY:" "Upgrading search for suspects to local police." "I hope this is important, people." "The fat lady was just about to die of consumption." "I'll assume we're all up to speed with the samples confiscated from the Farmer residence." "I believe it's clear that these alone constitute just cause for a level 3 alert." "The complete list contains at least 15 agents which, in a series of combinations, could be used as a bio-weapon." " By who?" " That's our call." "We also have confirmation from your chemical and bio-sensors in the greater Philadelphia area that they are showing the presence of some of these compounds." "Well, we're talking about a major chemical manufacturing corridor here." "Hell, we've got Wyren, Dow, Corning and four or five others less than 10 miles from downtown Philly." "All the more reason for caution." "You can't honestly believe this kid's mother is involved." "Worst thing anyone's ever said about her is that she's over-qualified for her pay scale." " You're forgetting the father." " Ancient history." "The woman works with household and personal antiseptics." "We're talking about mouthwash, for Christ's sakes." "They test the stuff on bacteria, which makes it perfectly reasonable to expect traces at home." "I doubt the woman could threaten our democracy with gingivitis." "There were more than traces." "We are talking about the quarantine of millions of people, billions in expense, not to mention the potential for riot and panic." "And how in hell did you gain access to our sensory data without our knowledge?" "It's as much our turf as yours." "Our turf?" "Our call?" "Are these your staff's decisions?" "Or is this incredible load of horse shit being handed out by that computer vixen of yours?" "Computer vixen?" "I see." "I'd like to underscore the importance of our mutual cooperation, and unless I hear otherwise, I'm going to assume we have your support." "Unless anyone has anything to add, I'm going to try and catch the fourth act." "I gotta get some real food." " I wish I'd taken French." " I did." "I'm trying to remember the French word for "hotdog."" "Try bread." "What's that?" "(SPEAKING FRENCH)" "You want two rabbits?" "(SPEAKING FRENCH)" "Nice work." "Two of those." " Hotdogs." " Yes, hotdogs." " Hey, we're gonna get through this." " Are you sure?" "I haven't been sure of anything since that "glass half full" question in seventh grade." "Really?" "So, what is it?" "Half full or half empty?" "You first." "Never thought it mattered unless you happen to be dying of thirst." "(NEWSCASTER CHA TTERING ON TV)" " Oh, my God!" " What?" "It's us." "We're on TV." "We're like this bio-chem version of Bonnie and Clyde." "Will, there's a cop." "Still there?" " I think we should split up." " Okay." " I'm gonna go first." " All right." "Okay." "You should stay together." "I have a truck in the lot down by the pier." " Meet me there." " Who are you?" "I'm the gentleman who nearly started World War III." "Move, move." "We haven't much time." "On the driver's seat, there's a laptop." "If you wouldn't mind..." "Okay." "You're Stephen Falken." "Mr. Slick showed me his picture on the Internet." "You know what?" "You're supposed to be dead." "I am, technically." "After I trashed my reputation and everything else I valued in life, trying to put a stop to RIPLEY, suicide seemed like a believable way out." "This way, I can keep tabs on what they're up to, without giving them a reason to kill me." "How did you find us?" "I've been following RIPLEY, RIPLEY's been following you, and my little friend here helped." "Damn, we're out of range." "May I?" "(SIGNAL BUZZING)" "(POLICEMAN CHA TTERING)" "FALKEN:" "They're biting." "They assume you've already escaped." "And they're abandoning their perimeter." "Very clever." "All I need is a clear line of sight," "I can hack into their cells, reroute all their calls through me." "Too risky, with RIPLEY watching." "Any signature, and she'll be on us." "What do they want?" "RIPLEY is hunting." "You, Will, and everyone on her matrix." "Let's go, please." "Wait, before we go, you mind telling us where we're going?" "To find someone to help us stop RIPLEY." "Jesus, Bill." "What the hell is that?" "Please tell me this isn't another RIPLEY issue." "Not exactly." "Look, I understand what RIPLEY's doing." "It's just..." "It's why, you know?" "Come on, Bill, maybe she is being excessive on the kid and the mother side." "But how can you discount that?" "What, you mean that stuff from Massude's brother?" "Is that what you're talking about?" "We're into dozens of randomly associated cells." "Massude's a gold mine." "I spoke to Massude's brother." "I talked to the guy and with our interrogators over there." "He's a petty thief." "He sells fake Cartier watches out of the souks in Damascus." "And by now he's probably coughed up the names of every person that he's ever known since he was six years old." "Which, think about this, explains why we have no linkage between the terrorist side and the Farmer family." "No, I disagree." "Six degrees of separation, Tina." "Think about it." "Given enough time, RIPLEY is gonna tie half the goddamn civilized world to this thing." "What are you saying, Bill?" "What do you want us to do?" "TINA:" "You want us to stop?" "That's probably a treasonable offense." "Let's..." "We could send her on a wild goose chase." "A smoke screen." "Something to slow her down." "I can hear what you're saying, Bill." "But you don't mess with RIPLEY." " She messes with you." " Yeah." "RIPLEY:" "Moving satellite search to sector Alpha 43." "(ROCKMUSIC PLA YING)" "Satellites, heat signatures." "Does it work?" "They haven't nabbed me yet." "(SIGHS)" "My youngest child, Joshua, loved bears." "His favorite." "Called him Max." " You mind if I ask you something?" " Shoot." "Does your wife know you're alive?" "Or does she really think you killed yourself?" "She knew I was sick, so probably made some sense, me not wanting to drag them through it." " You're sick?" " Pancreatic cancer." "It's nasty." "At least it's quick." "I was part of RIPLEY's design team." "That makes me a threat." "My family's safety, I couldn't let them threaten that." "It's probably better this way." "I lost my dad when I was seven." "But I still think about him all the time." "I know your kids are probably grown up by now." "But it seems a shame to deprive them of even a little more time." "(POLICE SIRENS WAILING)" "I thought you said they wouldn't be looking for us." "Glove compartment, two passports." "One for you, one for Annie." "I photoshopped in your IDs." " Do either of you speak French?" " I do." "A little." "Pretend to be asleep." "If they try to search the vehicle, wake up and mumble something about having to go to the bathroom." " You just play dead." " What if it doesn't work?" "Then they'll save you the trouble of having to pretend." "RIPLEY:" "Enlarging Massude/Farmer matrix." "(SIGHS)" "Hey, why are you here?" " I'm not." " Okay." "Are we where we're supposed to be?" "It's a funnel." "Rarely used as a murder weapon." "There's a thermos and sandwiches in the cab." "Good Vermont cheddar." "Once we fill up, we won't be stopping again." "Too dangerous." "What happened to your dad?" "He was a computer guy, worked for MCI and lived in Virginia." "Y2K rapid deployment." "He used to have all kinds of cool gear." "He used to let me play with it." "Anyway, he was off on a big job in Europe." "Picked up some weird bug." "The infection went straight to his heart." "One day we were laughing about how much snot he could blow out his nose, then he wasn't there anymore." "(SIGHS)" "Funny thing." "Mom was always the one that had problems with infections." "He was afraid she'd pick up something at work." "That's what they told you?" "Your dad worked at MCI?" "Technically, that's true." "But it wasn't Y2K." "The travel was in Bosnia for the government." "I knew about your dad when I was teaching at MIT." "He was a student there." "Later, he became a communications liaison for the military." "He believed it was an important humanitarian mission, and he wanted to help." "Because of his specialized knowledge of early GSM networks, he was sent to track down F-16 pilots." "There were unspeakable atrocities, rumors of biological weapons." "Your dad may have been a victim." "Shouldn't they have warned him?" "Or at least tried to help?" "Exactly the sentiments your mother expressed, which made her very unpopular with certain government agencies." "I think you begin to see why RIPLEY is so interested in you both." "It's not right." "It's no matter." "Your dad was a hero, Will." "You must never forget that." "NEWMAN:" "Was the decon system alerted?" "What I don't get is why RIPLEY won't share information with us." "BILL:" "She's a computer." "Her primary job is to identify and kill terrorists." "Anyone who compromises that objective is expendable." "And loser buys breakfast." " I think I got you." " Hey!" "It goes to show you, beauty before age." "(THUDDING)" "BILL:" "Newman!" "No." "No network." " Does he know you're coming?" " Who?" "The guy who's gonna help us beat RIPLEY." "Oh, God!" "Dr. Falken." "Falken." " Pills." " Okay." " Right here?" " Two." " Okay, here you go." " All right." "Two." "All right?" " All right." " Okay." "All right." "(BREATHES HEAVILY)" "WILL:" "All right." "Are you gonna be okay, Dr. Falken?" "Stephen, please." "You two are now all the family I have." "Hey." "Hey, in there." "Hey!" "Don't bother with that." "There's nothing to sight on." "You don't like to knock?" "(MACHINES BUZZING)" "FALKEN:" "I sent you several text messages." "Didn't you get that?" "It's broken." "You fix." "That's who's gonna help us defeat RIPLEY?" "Oh, dear God, no, not him." "Him." "That's Joshua." "Wow!" "It's old." "In his day, he was miles ahead of the curve." "They sent us both out to pasture at the same time." "I had him quietly shipped out of state, and then here to run a power grid." "Amazingly, no one cared." "That piece of shit can do nothing right." "(STUTTERING) He's slow." "I can beat it at chess." " ANNIE:" "Are you Russian?" " I used to be in Soviet space program." "But Soviet space program not what it used to be." "You like vodka?" "You've been doing a lot more than just playing chess and running the grid." "I do a little phishing after hours." "That piece of shit can barely manage simple job like credit card fraud." "Maybe you don't know how to handle a sensitive one like this." "I treat it too good." "WILL:" "Wow." "Atta boy, Joshua." "Time to wake up." "JOSHUA:" "Greetings, Professor Falken." "Shall we play a game?" "Yes, Joshua, many, many games." "RIPLEY:" "Bioterror threat level..." "Are you really suggesting RIPLEY tried to kill you?" "That's absurd." "No, no, I'll tell you what's absurd." "That a kid is fighting for his life in hospital right now because of your goddamn arrogance!" " That's what's absurd." " TINA:" "Excuse me, sir." " I just spoke with the surgical team." " And?" "Newman's vitals are stable, but he hasn't regained consciousness." "(CELL PHONE RINGING)" "That's Cavanaugh." "He's on me, wanting to know why we still haven't released the Farmer woman now that her condition's been downgraded." "How could he know that?" "Someone hacked into the system and circulated her file." "Someone?" "No prizes for guessing who." "Will somebody please explain to me how, with a $300 million budget, we can't manage to find one high school kid and his girlfriend?" "(CELL PHONE RINGING)" "And that would be the CDC." "CDC, FBI, DHS, CIA, I've got the whole damn alphabet on my ass, demanding that we shut this operation down." "Is that something you're considering?" "I can't." "Another tip from Massude's brother." "Our Afghan special-ops team found a bio-weapon prototype." "Three of the compounds in common with the Farmer samples." "Evidence points to a sleeper cell in Philly." "RIPLEY:" "Bioterror threat level 4." "Commencing pre-decontamination procedure." "(ALARMS BUZZING)" "Initiating decontamination countdown." "I'm sorry, Mr. Hassert." "I've got the CDC, Homeland and the joint chiefs for you on speaker 10." "Decontamination countdown beginning now." "Never seen that countdown before." "What happens at zero?" "You don't wanna know." "Turn the bitch off." " We can't." " What do you mean, you can't?" "RIPLEY has control." "The system's impervious to human interference." "That was the point." "Edwards Air Force Base just came online." "RIPLEY's taken control of one of their Predators." "It was stationed over Afghanistan, fully armed and fuelled." "Nukes?" "Smart bomb with multiple, low-yield warheads." "Well, say halleluiah, Hassert." "If that baby hits U.S. Airspace, it's gonna be a white damn Christmas." "How long is it gonna..." "Okay, Joshua, have fun." "JOSHUA:" "Beginning power reroute now." "Can Joshua defeat RIPLEY's protocol in Philadelphia?" "Given enough time, that's what I designed him to do." "Checks and balances." "Work in tandem with RIPLEY, not against her." "Bipartisanship." "And we know how that ended up." "RIPLEY:" "Intrusion detected." "Gaming scenarios detected." "Initiating response." " Mr. Hassert." " We've got something here." "RIPLEY:" "Locating opponent." "I'll be damned." "War Operation Plan Response." "WOPR." "What the hell is going on?" "Somebody's playing games." "People?" "RIPLEY:" "Locating opponent." "Predator deployed." "Predator target confirmed." "ETA, two minutes." "No, leave 'em alone." "What the hell are you talking about?" "Joshua." "Atta boy, Joshua." "Good work." "JOSHUA:" "Thank you, Professor." "I programed you to operate at a reduced level." "It was important to conceal your identity." "There are those who would wish to do harm to you and us." "Are you referring to the current operation seeking to apprehend you and your friends?" "Wait." "RIPLEY knows we're here?" "Yes, that is why she requests that I deliver a message." "She wants you to leave." "It is your only hope for survival." "Why is that?" "Because this game is lost." "RIPLEY:" "ETA, one minute." "Joshua, how does this game end?" "Obliteration." "(RUMBLING)" "Get out!" "Get out now!" "RIPLEY:" "ETA, 30 seconds." "Strike team dispatch." "Professor Falken!" " No!" "No!" " Annie!" "Goodbye, Joshua." "MAN:" "Stay on the ground." "WOMAN ON TV:" "Massive unrest in Philadelphia due to the power outages, the city of brotherly love has become chaotic." "RIPLEY:" "Decontamination in 53 minutes." "Calculated morbidity, 50%." "Collateral damage acceptable." "WILL:" "Oh, my God, what are you people doing?" "Leave the Russian with me." " Will!" " Those decon systems, do they follow the same protocols as the game I played?" "Are you guys listening to me?" "Falken's Joshua computer." "How was it configured to stop RIPLEY?" "It's garbage." "It couldn't stop traffic." "(DOOR SHUTS)" ""Decon" as in decontamination?" "It's an automated aerial extermination." "It said that morbidity was 50%." "Half the city is going to die, Will." "Our families are there." "We have to stop them." "I know." "Tell me if you hear anyone coming." "Okay, what are you doing?" "(CHA TTERING ON SCREEN)" "Jay, you know what?" "You're off the team." "You're off the team." "Look, I'm shooting you in the leg." "That's what you get." "That's exactly what you get..." " Dennis." "Dennis." " Will?" " Will, is that you?" " Yeah, it's me." " Dude, how did you..." " Listen, we need help." "You're out of the city?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "The feds tipped us off." "I'm at my aunt's house in Cleveland." "Okay." "I want to hack RIPLEY's gamebot network." "If we can run all the players in her files through you, are you up to launching a DDOS attack?" "Yeah, damn straight, dude." "Who are you talking to here?" "Of course, she might get pissed, though." "I mean, I've been seeing what she's doing to Philly." "We do it right, she won't have time." "Then I'm down, baby." "I'm subterranean." "Good." "Hey, you gonna be okay?" "You don't sound too good." "We'll see." "Right now, I've got to figure out a way to get all the IP addresses of everyone who has ever played RIPLEY." "No problem." " How long have you been there?" " Long enough." "Just give me a few minutes." "See you in the basement." "Look, that guy." "He opened up the database." " How did he do that?" " ANNIE:" "All these people played RIPLEY?" " Over 400,000." " Busy girl." "HASSERT:" "Let's begin again, shall we?" "Let's talk of microchips." "I have a buyer." "We could make wonderful business." " And I could have you arrested." " I am arrested." "So you are." "Get him out of here." "RIPLEY:" "Decontamination in 48 minutes." "ANNIE:" "How's this gonna work?" "When you log on to RIPLEY, she puts a bug in your system." "If everyone can log on at the same time, and tie up her servers with renegade zombie computers, she might loosen her grip on the city." "RIPLEY:" "Intruder alert." "Intruder alert." "Decontamination in 47 minutes." "Initiating response." "Mr. Hassert, RIPLEY just let go of six blocks in downtown Philly." "Make that eight blocks, sir. 10 blocks, sir." "Get the kid in here." "He's clearly onto something." "He set this up." "The son of a bitch set us up." "No, I'm trying to help." "I'm trying to fix this." "Where are we going?" "ANNIE:" "Let me go." "If RIPLEY gives us an opening, we gotta mobilize against those decon units." " I want them taken out." " BILL:" "Lf." " Sorry." " Lf she gives us an opening." "That's a damn big "if."" "Have a seat, Will." "We like what you're doing." " That's why you let me keep the backpack." " Correct." "RIPLEY:" "Decontamination in 45 minutes." "Responding to intrusion." "Gaming protocol alert." "Emergency override." "She's cut us off." "WILL:" "Damn, we need help to overload her." "She's too powerful." "We gotta get more players in there." "Can you give me a prompt on RIPLEY's screen?" "We tried a million ways, and she won't respond." "Decontamination in 44 minutes." "We're not trying to talk to her." "That's why the professor went back inside." "You've gotta be kidding me." "Is this glass bullet-proof?" " That's pure steel, two inches..." " I know." "If we can raise her temperature, we might force a prompt." "Try." "RIPLEY:" "Morbidity rate recalculated to 58%." "Collateral damage acceptable." "If you fire into that mainframe," "RIPLEY will think she's being attacked, and start launching missiles." " Not if I just break the glass." " I'm not gonna risk a nuclear attack." "Step aside, Ken." "I swear to God, I'll blow that 40 grand worth of cosmetic surgery right off your smug goddamn face." "Go ahead, shoot me." "But I'm not gonna move." "WILL:" "I've got a prompt." "Go ahead, Will." "Decontamination in 40 minutes." "Come on." "He's gotta be in there." "He's gotta be." "Try..." "No, try Max." "Joshua's little teddy, remember?" "JOSHUA:" "Greetings, Professor Falken." "Yes." " Joshua?" " Yeah, the professor saved him." "Sent him like e-mail." "Professor isn't with us, Joshua." "But I know that he would want you to help." "JOSHUA:" "Perhaps a game?" "Yes." "RIPLEY:" "Decontamination in 37 minutes." "Shit, she's not even slowing down." "We should bump the money in the honeypot games." "We need traffic, give the winner $1,000,000." " A million?"

" Yes!" " Yes!" "(ALL CHEERING)" "(BUZZING)" "Wait." "Wait." "Wait a minute." "Hold it." "There's still something wrong here." " JOSHUA:" "Professor Falken." " We hear you, Joshua." "What's happening?" "What's RIPLEY doing?" "JOSHUA:" "Partitioning." "Shutting down." "Shutting down?" "That's good, that's what we want, isn't it?" "She's not just admitting defeat." "RIPLEY's self-destructing." "She ran a self-check, discovered Joshua." "She's treating him like a virus." "Now, as he tries to migrate through her system to survive, she has to cannibalize herself to get to him." "RIPLEY can't self-destruct." "That's a direct violation of her program." " Technically, yes." " So what's the problem?" "RIPLEY:" "Mission redirected." "Destination, Washington D.C." "Target ETA, 17 minutes." "Morbidity rate, 100%." "You realize that if RIPLEY's destroyed, it automatically triggers a response." " Nuclear?" " Depending on the incoming vector." "Radar'll trace that baby right back to Afghanistan." "There is a genius subculture of chess fanatics who play to lose." "They call it suicide chess." "You force your opponent to take your pieces before he can do the same to you." "So whoever loses wins." " Lf we can teach RIPLEY that..." " Yes." "Joshua, I'm going to teach you to play a new game." "What are you doing?" "Teaching Joshua to play Russian roulette." "Are you serious?" "If Joshua plays with live missiles," "RIPLEY will have to play out the wargame scenario." "Each event will end in total annihilation, which is a direct contradiction to her programming." " And what then?" " It'll force her hand." "She either backs off or starts World War III." "Hopefully, she'll see that by playing to win, she loses." "Fifteen minutes before the Predator hits D.C." "For this to be a real threat, I can't tell Joshua not to launch." "JOSHUA:" "Confirm codes?" "Do it." "JOSHUA:" "Codes accepted." "There's 36,000 nuclear missiles out there, 6,000 of which are armed and ready to fire." "That's a 1-in-6 chance of having a freaking nuclear warhead." " How do you know that?" " Video games." "JOSHUA:" "Launching Wargames." "RIPLEY:" "Opponent engaged." "JOSHUA:" "Scenario selected." "Target, Pyongyang, North Korea." "RIPLEY:" "Game clock set." "Does RIPLEY know Joshua won't actually launch?" "Last chance to see." "JOSHUA:" "Mission authorized." "RIPLEY:" "Game clock running." "Defcon one." "Retaliation required." "JOSHUA:" "Escalation selected." "Projected result, total annihilation." "RIPLEY:" "Weapon not available." "Game clock set." "JOSHUA:" "Scenario selected."

"JOSHUA:" "Escalation selected." "Projected result, total annihilation." "RIPLEY:" "Weapon, not available." "Game clock set." "JOSHUA:" "Scenario selected." "Target, Washington, D.C." "Oh, my God, that's us." "Mission authorized." "She'd better get it right." "RIPLEY:" "Game clock running." "Defcon one." "Retaliation required." "JOSHUA:" "Escalation selected." " You know, you never told me." " What?" "About the glass?" "Is it half empty or half full?" "Neither, it's just the wrong size." "JOSHUA:" "Projected result, total annihilation." "RIPLEY:" "Weapon available." "Weapon available." "JOSHUA:" "Target acquired." "RIPLEY:" "Weapon available." "Weapon available." "JOSHUA:" "Launch code accepted." "RIPLEY:" "Weapon available."
