Ellie Arroway: Is this some test? Alien: No, no tests. You have your mother's hands. Alien: You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone; only, you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable... is each other. Ellie Arroway: What happens now? Alien: Now... you go home. Ellie Arroway: Home? But... I have so many questions... Do we get to come back? Alien: This was just a first step. In time, you'll take another. Ellie Arroway: But other people need to see what I've seen, they need to see... Alien: This is the way it's been done for billions of years. Small moves, Ellie. Small moves.

Ellie Arroway: Mathematics is the only true universal language.
Palmer Joss: I'm not against technology, doctor. I'm against the men who deify it at the expense of human truth.
Ellie Arroway: Those are primes! 2,3,5,7, those are all prime numbers and there's no way that's a natural phenomenon!
Young Ellie: CQ, this is W9GFO. CQ, this is W9GFO here. Come back?
Young Ellie: I'm going to need a bigger antenna.
Palmer Joss: Do you believe in God, Dr. Arroway?
Ellie Arroway: I'm okay to go! I'm okay to go! I'm okay to go...
David Drumlin: Ellie, still waiting for E.T. to call?
Palmer Joss: You could call me a man of the cloth, without the cloth.
Young Ellie: CQ, CQ, this is W9GFO. Is anybody out there?
Ellie Arroway: One down, couple of billion to go.
Eleanor Arroway: One down... a couple billion to go.
Ellie Arroway: Mathematics is the only true universal language.
Palmer Joss: I'm not against technology, doctor. I'm against the men who deify it at the expense of human truth.
S.R. Hadden: Clever girl.
Young Ellie: I'm going to need a bigger antenna.
Ellie Arroway: I'm okay to go! I'm okay to go! I'm okay to go...
Young Ellie: CQ, this is W9GFO. CQ, this is W9GFO here. Come back?
Palmer Joss: Do you believe in God, Dr. Arroway?
Ellie Arroway: Those are primes! 2,3,5,7, those are all prime numbers and there's no way that's a natural phenomenon!
Young Ellie: Dad, do you think there's people on other planets? Ted Arroway: I don't know, Sparks. But I guess I'd say if it is just us... seems like an awful waste of space.
David Drumlin: I know you must think this is all very unfair. Maybe that's an understatement. What you don't know is I agree. I wish the world was a place where fair was the bottom line, where the kind of idealism you showed at the hearing was rewarded, not taken advantage of. Unfortunately, we don't live in that world. Ellie Arroway: Funny, I've always believed that the world is what we make of it.
S.R. Hadden: I wanna show you something. S.R. Hadden: Hokkaido Island. Ellie Arroway: The systems integration site. S.R. Hadden: Look closer. S.R. Hadden: First rule in government spending: why build one when you can have two at twice the price? Only, this one can be kept secret. Controlled by Americans, built by the Japanese subcontractors. Who, also, happen to be, recently acquired, wholly-owned subsidiaries... Ellie Arroway: ... of Hadden industries. S.R. Hadden: They still want an American to go, Doctor. Wanna take a ride?
Rachel Constantine: I assume you read the confidential findings report from the investigating committee. Michael Kitz: I flipped through it. Rachel Constantine: I was especially interested in the section on Arroway's video unit. The one that recorded the static? Michael Kitz: Continue. Rachel Constantine: The fact that it recorded static isn't what interests me. Michael Kitz: Continue. Rachel Constantine: What interests me is that it recorded approximately eighteen hours of it. Michael Kitz: That is interesting, isn't it?
Palmer Joss: What are you studying up there? Ellie Arroway: Oh, the usual. Nebulae, quasars, pulsars, stuff like that. What are you writing? Palmer Joss: The usual. Nouns, adverbs, adjective here and there.
Michael Kitz: Your having sent this announcement all over the world may well constitute a breach of national security. Ellie Arroway: This isn't a person-to-person call. You can't possibly think that a civilization sending this kind of message would intend it just for Americans. Michael Kitz: I'm saying you might have consulted us; obviously, the contents of this message could be extremely sensitive. Ellie Arroway: You want to classify prime numbers now?
News Reporters: Reverend Joss! Reverend Joss, what do you believe? What do you believe? Palmer Joss: As a person of faith I'm bound by a different covenant than Doctor Arroway. But our goal is one and the same: the pursuit of Truth. I for one believe her.
Ellie Arroway: Why did you do it? Palmer Joss: Our job was to select someone to speak for everybody. And I just couldn't in good conscience vote for a person who doesn't believe in God. Someone who honestly thinks the other ninety five percent of us suffer from some form of mass delusion. Ellie Arroway: I told the truth up there. And Drumlin told you exactly what you wanted to hear.
Rachel Constantine: Twenty million people died defeating that son of a bitch, and he's our first ambassador to outer space? Ellie Arroway: Actually the Hitler broadcast from the... David Drumlin: '36 olympics was the first television transmission of any power that went in to space. That they recorded it, and sent it back, is simply their way of saying "hello, we heard you." Michael Kitz: Or, "Sieg Heil, you're our kind of people."
Ellie Arroway: Is this some test? Alien: No, no tests. You have your mother's hands. Alien: You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone; only, you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable... is each other. Ellie Arroway: What happens now? Alien: Now... you go home. Ellie Arroway: Home? But... I have so many questions... Do we get to come back? Alien: This was just a first step. In time, you'll take another. Ellie Arroway: But other people need to see what I've seen, they need to see... Alien: This is the way it's been done for billions of years. Small moves, Ellie. Small moves.
Ellie Arroway: You're not real. None of this is real. Alien: That's my scientist. Ellie Arroway: When I was unconscious, you downloaded my thoughts, my memories, even Pensacola. Alien: We thought this might make things easier for you.
Dr. Kent Clark: Nice to smell you again, Mr. Kitz. Michael Kitz: You too. Dr. Kent Clark: Wouldn't have pegged him as a Polo man.
Young Ellie: CQ, this is W9GFO, do you copy? Young Ellie: Dad, this is Ellie, come back?... This is Eleanor Arroway, transmitting on 14.2 megahertz. Young Ellie: Dad, are you there? Come back? Dad, are you there? Dad, this is Ellie...
Ellie Arroway: I work for a project called SETI. Palmer Joss: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence? Wow, that's out there.
S.R. Hadden: The powers that be have been very busy lately, falling over each other to position themselves for the game of the millennium. Maybe I can help deal you back in. Ellie Arroway: I didn't realize that I was out. S.R. Hadden: Well, maybe not out... but certainly being handed your hat.
Mission Director: David, we're not seeing anything abnormal down here. David Drumlin: No good! Hold the sequence. I'm gonna take a direct reading. Mission Director: What the hell's he talking about? Technician: Can anyone say "grandstanding"? 2nd Technician: He sure knows *he's* on TV. Communications: Back home, that's what we call a "overcooked ham".
Ellie Arroway: What I meant to say is that the message was written in the language of science. Now if it had been religious in nature it should have taken form of a burning bush or a big booming voice from the sky. Palmer Joss: But a voice from the sky... is exactly what you found, Dr. Arroway!
Ellie Arroway: Mrs. Constantine? May I have a word with you? Rachel Constantine: Certainly. Ellie Arroway: Um, I have a big problem. Rachel Constantine: Yes? Ellie Arroway: Uh, do you know where I can find like a really great dress?
