marcicatthat speech from 'Independence Day'
And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!
(PS: I hope Dylan Thomas would be honored. Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night)
(PPS: A better-written speech, but not, you know, associated with a major US holiday: cancelling the apocalypse.)
At the edge of our hope, at the end of our time, we have chosen not only to believe in ourselves, but in each other. Today there is not a man nor woman in here that shall stand alone. Not today. Today we face the monsters that are at our door and bring the fight to them! Today, we are canceling the apocalypse!
