Listen up. I’m not going to go down in history as the President who was in office when the world came to an end, so somebody think of something, and think of it fast!
Mission Control: Buckaroo, The White House wants to know is everything ok with the alien space craft from Planet 10 or should we just go ahead and destroy Russia?
Buckaroo Banzai: Tell him yes on one and no on two.
