Brigadier Gen. Russell Woodman: Suffice to say, we're all very appreciative of the discovery made by Dr. Kane and Mr. Black...
Harry Block: Block! (Cusack Cyril)
[Kane and Block disguise themselves as a colonel and a private to sneak into the military base]
Harry Block: I still don't understand why you get to be colonel and I'm just a private.
Ira Kane: I WAS a colonel.
Harry Block: Yeah, and you obviously served your country with distinction.
Ira Kane: You should be thankful, the penalty for impersonating an officer is five years in prison.
Harry Block: Maybe for you, white boy. Me, they hang. (Cusack Cyril)
Wayne Grey: Now that's a face for radio. (Cusack Cyril)
Harry Block: There's a fly in my suit! (Cusack Cyril)

[as Allison introduces herself, she trips and falls, and her skirt rides up]
Ira Kane: A garter belt? At a day function? (Cusack Cyril)
[Ira moons General Woodman]
Ira Kane: Fruit basket for Russell Woodman! (Cusack Cyril)
Dr. Allison Reed: Dr. Kane, you were a top-level researcher at USAMRIID until 1997, is that correct?
Ira Kane: Yes.
Dr. Allison Reed: Until you were dismissed in June. Can you tell us why that was?
Ira Kane: My services were no longer required?
Dr. Allison Reed: So, in your opinion, your dismissal had nothing to do with an experimental anthrax vaccine that you developed and distributed to over 40,000 U.S. soldiers in May of that year?
Ira Kane: [leans in] I see where you're going with this.
[louder]
Ira Kane: It may have been a factor, you'd have to ask the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Dr. Allison Reed: I'll make a note to do that. But in the meantime, could you tell us what happened to the soldiers who were inoculated with your vaccine?
Ira Kane: Well, uh, none of them got anthrax, if that's what you're asking.
[fakes some chuckles]
Dr. Allison Reed: What did they get?
Ira Kane: Well, as with any new vaccine, there were certain side effects...
Dr. Allison Reed: Could you be more specific?
Ira Kane: Well, it was a wide range of things, it's very technical, I'd hate to waste the court's time...
Dr. Allison Reed: Humor me.
Ira Kane: Some debilitating stomach cramps... severe diarrhea... memory loss.
Dr. Allison Reed: Go on. Any more symptoms?
Ira Kane: [Harry is looking mortified and shocked at the defense table] Partial facial paralysis, temporary blindness, drooling, bleeding gums, erectile dysfunction, uncontrollable flatulence. I think that's it.
Dr. Allison Reed: One more question. Do you recall what the soldiers called this illness?
Ira Kane: Yeah, they called it "The Kane Madness." (Cusack Cyril)
Brigadier Gen. Russell Woodman: We'll seal off the tunnels, and then we burn the alien menace right the hell out of there.
Dr. Allison Reed: With what?
Brigadier Gen. Russell Woodman: With napalm. Lots and lots of napalm.
Ira Kane: Napalm? Why don't you just nuke 'em while you're at it?
Col. Flemming: What about nukes?
[Woodman starts thinking about it]
Governor Lewis: Pull your horns in there, boys! Nobody's dropping an H-bomb in the middle of my state! (Cusack Cyril)
Dr. Allison Reed: There's something I've been wanting to tell you, but I don't know exactly how.
Ira Kane: Well, we're all adults here and we're all about to die a very horrible death anyway, so? (Cusack Cyril)
Harry Block: They kept us out for almost two weeks. We put our lives on the line to find these little guys, your majesty. We just want to be there for them as they grow up. (Cusack Cyril)
Ira Kane: Let's shampoo us some aliens! (Cusack Cyril)
Governor Lewis: I oughta throw the whole goddamn, jacked-up bunch of you in prison. No, not that cushy federal place with the loose jumpsuits. *State prison*... with the crotch binders! (Cusack Cyril)
Harry Block: Ira, are you sure you can handle this on your lonesome? (Cusack Cyril)
I'm Catholic, he's Jewish, and it was just easier to elope. (Cusack Cyril)
A Catholic would be guilty of formal cooperation in evil, and so unworthy to present himself for holy Communion, if he were to deliberately vote for a candidate precisely because of the candidate’s
permissive stand on abortion and/or euthanasia. When a Catholic does not share a candidate’s stand in favor of abortion and/or euthanasia, but votes for that candidate for other reasons, it is considered remote material cooperation, which can be permitted in the presence of proportionate reasons. (Cusack Cyril)
After the Second Vatican Council, the impression arose that the pope really could do anything in liturgical matters, especially if he were acting on the mandate of an ecumenical council. Eventually, the idea of the givenness of the liturgy, the fact that one cannot do with it what one will, faded from the public consciousness of the West. In fact, the First Vatican Council had in no way defined the pope as an absolute monarch. On the contrary, it presented him as the guarantor of obedience to the revealed Word. The pope’s authority is bound to the Tradition of faith, and that also applies to the liturgy. It is not ‘manufactured’ by the authorities. Even the pope can only be a humble servant of its lawful development and abiding integrity and identity. . . . The authority of the pope is not unlimited; it is at the service of Sacred Tradition. . . . The greatness of the liturgy depends - we shall have to repeat this frequently - on its unspontaneity. (Cusack Cyril)
All the Saints of God are there to protect me, to sustain me and to carry me. And your prayers, my dear friends, your indulgence, your love, your faith and your hope accompany me. (Cusack Cyril)
Dear brothers and sisters after the great Pope, John Paul II, the cardinals have elected me, a simple and humble worker in the Lord’s vineyard. The fact that the Lord can work and act even with insufficient means consoles me, and above all I entrust myself to your prayers. In the joy of the resurrected Lord, we go on with his help. He is going to help us and Mary will be on our side. Thank you (Cusack Cyril)
Deeply saddened by the news of the terrorist attacks in central London, the Holy Father offers his fervent prayers for the victims and for all those who mourn. (Cusack Cyril)
God is not solitude, but perfect communion. For this reason the human person, the image of God, realizes himself or herself in love, which is a sincere gift of self. (Cusack Cyril)
Grant that we may be one flock and one shepherd. Do not allow your net to be torn, help us to be servants of unity. (Cusack Cyril)
Having a clear faith, based on the creed of the church, is often labeled today as a fundamentalism. … Whereas relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and ’swept along by every wind of teaching,’ looks like the only attitude acceptable to today’s standards. (Cusack Cyril)
I am not alone. I do not have to carry alone what in truth I could never carry alone. (Cusack Cyril)
The ecclesial communities which have not preserved the valid Episcopate and the genuine and integral substance of the Eucharistic mystery, are not Churches in the proper sense; however, those who are baptized in these communities are, by Baptism, incorporated in Christ and thus are in a certain communion, albeit imperfect, with the Church. (Cusack Cyril)
Thus, a vision of the whole gradually grew for me that was nourished by the various experiences and realizations I had encountered along my theological path. I rejoiced to be able to say something of my own, something new and yet completely within the faith of the Church. The feeling of aquiring a theological vision that was ever more clearly my own was the most wonderful experience of those years. (Cusack Cyril)
