White House Down Quotes

Special Agent Todd keeps making those sounds, I'm gonna start looking at him.

Can you not hit me in the head with a rocket when I'm trying to drive?

You think you're tough, bitch?

It's the threat matrix. Every day, the Secret Service does a rundown of credible threats against the president. Every single one of these guys was on it. It's like Walker used it as a shopping list.

Get your hands off my Jordans!

Cale... I'm not leaving without my protection

Stenz : Welcome to the White House, Mr. Tyler.
Tyler : I love what you've done with the place. The, uh, bullet holes really add to the décor.

Walker : Cake?
Stenz : No, I don't want cake! I'm diabetic!
Walker : Where are you going?
Stenz : I'm going to end/finish this!
Walker : Don't make this personal!
Stenz : DON'T TELL ME NOT TO TAKE/MAKE THIS PERSONAL! You're gonna blow up half the world... FOR YOUR OWN GOD DAMN KID!

Walker : You just killed the Secretary of Defense.
Stenz : Well, he wasn't doing a very good job.

Finnerty : Cale was right. This is not about ransom. Walker has cancer. His doctors gave him less than three months. He has a golf ball-sized tumor on his frontal lobe.
Raphelson : Jesus Christ.
Finnerty : I think he's on a suicide mission.

Finnerty : You know you're gonna miss this.
Walker : When's the last time you took a day off?
Finnerty : Oh, I'm fine.
Walker : Hmm?
Finnerty : I'm fine.
Walker : Piece of advice: you gotta get back on the horse.
Finnerty : I've gotta get back on the horse?
Walker : First rule of divorce: you gotta get right out there. Sow some oats, break some hearts, have actual human interaction with a member of the opposite sex. Carol, you keep this up, twenty years from now, you're gonna look like me.
Finnerty : Well, there are worse things.
Walker : Don't make this your whole life. Trust me. It's not worth it.

General Caulfield : Stenz used to do black ops work for us off the books, but when the new Sawyer administration came in, the Secretary of Defense shut down the operation and disavowed all its assets. Stenz was captured and ended up spending several months in a Taliban-controlled prison.
Finnerty : No wonder he's pissed.

Raphelson : Carol, we have to end this. We have to. What if the next missile that he launches is aimed at Chicago or New York? We're talking about millions of lives.
Finnerty : Your first act as president is going to be bombing the White House?
Raphelson : Believe me. I know, I know. But our country is stronger than one house.

General Caulfield : Sir, I not sure using heavy artillery is a wise...
President Sawyer : I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK IS WISE... YOU GET THAT TANK... YOU PUT A HOLE IN THE GOD-DAMN FENCE RIGHT NOW

Raphelson : You can't do this! I am still the President of the United States!
President Sawyer : Then consider this a coup d'état!
President Sawyer : Get this trash off my lawn!
Raphelson : You won't get away with this. I have friends, powerful friends!
President Sawyer : And I'll make sure every single one of them joins you in prison!
Raphelson : You son of a bitch! You're not FIT to hold this office! You sold out this country by making a deal with the goddamn Arabs!

Martin, as the President of the United States, this comes with the full weight, power and authority of my office. Fuck you.

Cale : I literally just walked in the door. What did I do?

Melanie : No, it was last Thursday. It was on the school calendar.
Cale : What did she do?
Melanie : She was a flag twirler.
Cale : That's a talent?
Melanie : She practiced for, like, six weeks, John. She thought you were gonna be there.
Cale : All right, it would've been really nice to just have a little bit of a reminder.
Melanie : Come on, I'm not your secretary, John.
Cale : I'm not asking you to be my secretary. Look, I'm just... I'm trying. I'm trying really hard to be in her life.
Melanie : It's a little late for that, wouldn't you say?

Cale : I need a pass for my daughter.
Jenna : John...
Cale : Look, no, no, you don't understand. Okay? Look, she's a freak for all this kind of stuff, so if I get her in, I'm, like, Dad of the Year. All right? And I will owe you so much more than just a candlelight dinner.

Cale : Jenna. Did you get me in?
Jenna : What do I get if I did?
Cale : What do you want?
Jenna : Uh, dinner. Candlelight. And a promise that you will try to get to second base.
Cale : Done.

Raphelson : Quiet night?
