Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)

Project Leader: It's flight number 19!
David Laughlin: 19 what?
Project Leader: It's that training mission from the naval air station at Fort Lauderdale. They were doing target runs on an old hulk.
David Laughlin: Who flies crates like these anymore?
Project Leader: No one! These planes were reported missing in 1945.

Brad Neary: Dad, do my problems for me.
Roy Neary: I don't have to do your problems for you. You do your problems for you. That's why I graduated, so I don't have to do problems.
Brad Neary: I don't understand these fractions.
Roy Neary: All right. What's one-third of 60?
Brad Neary: That's a fraction. I don't understand them.

Roy Neary: Pinocchio! The kids have never seen Pinocchio. You guys have never seen Pinocchio. You'll love it.
Brad Neary: Aww. I don't believe this. Who wants to go to see some dumb cartoon rated G for kids?
Roy Neary: How old are you? Eight. You wanna be 9?
Brad Neary: Yeah.
Roy Neary: Then you're gonna see Pinocchio tomorrow night.

Jillian Guiler: It's like Halloween for grownups.
Roy Neary: ITrick or treat.

— Ladies and gentlemen, this is a flying saucer... It's made of pewter, made in Japan, and thrown across the lawn by one of my children... I just wanted to point that out to you to show that we're not all "polished brass" about these things. And also point out that last year Americans shot more than seven billion photographs at a record of $6.6 billion for film equipment and processing. Now, with all those shutters clicking, where is the indisputable photographic evidence?

Roy Neary: I guess you've noticed something a little strange with Dad. It's okay, though. I'm still Dad.

Roy Neary: I can't describe it, what I'm feeling and what I'm thinking. This means something. This is important. That's not right. It's not right. That's not right.

Roy Neary: I figured it out, that's all... Ronnie, look, you ever look at something when it's crazy and then you look at it in another way and it's not crazy?

Roy Neary: Come on, Ronnie. Just listen.
Ronnie Neary: I don't know what you're doing.
Roy Neary: Just close your eyes for five minutes. Close your eyes and hold your breath, everything will be really pretty.
Ronnie Neary: Roy, you're scaring us now.
Roy Neary: Don't be scared. Just don't be scared. I feel really good. Everything's gonna be all right. I haven't felt this good in years. Everything's gonna be okay. I can feel it.

Roy Neary: Honey, where you going? Where are you going?!
Ronnie Neary: Taking the kids to my sister's.
Roy Neary: That's crazy. You're not even dressed!
Ronnie Neary: What? You said what?

Roy Neary: Who are you people?

Claude Lacombe: Monsieur Neary, please, one more question. Have you recently had a close encounter? A close encounter with something very unusual?

Claude Lacombe: But what did you expect to find?
Roy Neary: An answer. That's not crazy, is it?

— What are we saying to each other?
— It seems they're trying to teach us a basic tonal vocabulary.
— It's the first day of school, fellas.
