Dialogue

 * Judy Witwicky: I have a bald spot. From a waffle iron! When you go, he goes! I cannot live with a psychotic alien in my garage!
 * Ron Witwicky: Judy, ssh! National Security...look, if we stay quiet, they're gonna take care of everything. Just consider this the official start of our remodel...okay?
 * Judy Witwicky: Fine, if the government's paying, I want a pool and a hot tub, and I'm gonna skinny-dip and you can't say shit about it!


 * Director Galloway: Now, what do we know so far? We know that the enemy leader, classified NBE One, aka Megatron, is rusting in peace at the bottom of the Laurentian Abyss, surrounded by SOSUS detection nets and a full-time submarine surveillance. We also know that the only known remaining piece of your alien AllSpark is locked in an electromagnetic vault here on one of the most secure naval bases in the world. And since no-one can seem to tell me what the Decepticon enemy is now after, well, there's only one clear conclusion: you. The Autobots. They're here to hunt you. What's there to hunt for on Earth besides that? "The Fallen shall rise again?" Sounds to me like something's coming. So, let me ask, if we ultimately conclude that our national security is best served by denying you further asylum on our planet, will you leave peacefully?
 * Optimus: Freedom is your right. If you make that request, we will honor it. But, before your President decides, please ask him this. What if we leave… and you’re wrong?
 * Lennox: That’s a good question.


 * Megatron: Starscream, I'm home.
 * Starscream: [visibly nervous] Lord Megatron, I was so relieved to hear of your resurrection.
 * Megatron: [coolly infuriated] You left me to die on that pathetic insect planet!
 * Starscream: O-Only to help spawn our new army. The Fallen decries it. After all in your absence, someone had to take command.
 * Megatron: [angrily slams Starscream against the wall and strangles him] So disappointing.
 * Starscream: [choking] Hatchlings, hatchlings! Careful, fragile.
 * Megatron: It seems you've forgotten yourself while I was away, so allow me to reiterate that which you should already know. Whether in death, imprisonment, or exile, there is no command but mine. [scene cuts to Megatron meeting the Fallen] My master, I regret to inform you that I failed you on Earth. The AllSpark is destroyed and without it, our race will surely perish.
 * The Fallen: Oh, you have much to learn, my disciple. The Cube was merely a vessel. Its power, its knowledge can never be destroyed. It can only...transform.
 * Megatron: How is that possible...?
 * The Fallen: It has been absorbed by the human child. The key to saving our race now lies within his mind.
 * Megatron: Well, then, let me strip the very flesh from his body.
 * The Fallen: And you will, my apprentice, in time. For a millenia I have dreamt of my return to that wretched planet, where I too was once betrayed by the Primes I called my brothers. Only a Prime can defeat me and now only one remains.
 * Megatron: Optimus, he protects the boy.
 * The Fallen: Then the boy will lead us to him and revenge will be ours.
 * Megatron: Yes.
 * Starscream: The boy will not escape us. We have him in our sights. But without more Energon the hatchlings will keep dying.


 * Optimus Prime: HIDE, sam! [hits Megatron] Weak! PUNY! Waste of metal. Junkyard crap!
 * Megatron: Decepticons! [calls Grindor and Starscream]
 * Starscream: Come here, boy.
 * Megatron: There is another source of Energon hidden on this planet. The boy could lead us to it. [Optimus fights off Grindor, Starscream, and Megatron, who sends him sprawling with a kick]
 * Sam: Optimus!!!
 * Megatron: [blasts Optimus] Is the future of our race not worth a single human life?
 * Sam: Up! Get up!!
 * Optimus Prime: You'll never stop at one. I'll take you all on! [charges the three Decepticons, then jumps on top of Grindor and rips his head apart with his Energon hooks, killing Grindor]
 * Grindor: No, not me! [screaming] Noooooo!!!
 * Optimus Prime: Piece of tin.


 * [After killing Optimus, Starscream and Megatron meet on top of a building; Starscream is holding his severed arm]
 * Megatron: That went well.
 * Starscream: We’ve...lost the boy, Master. The Autobots must be shielding their signals.
 * Megatron: [Frustrated] I can't even rely on you...
 * Starscream: Sorry, no!
 * Megatron: [Grabs and slams Starscream onto the building] ...to swat a simple insect! [Kicks Starscream and edges him over to the side of the building]
 * Starscream: One insect among seven billion--!
 * Megatron: Shut up!
 * Starscream: He could be anywhere.
 * Megatron: Then we will force them to find them for us! It’s time for the world to know of our presence. No more disguises... no mercy! The time has come for my master’s arrival.
 * Soundwave: [in space] Decepticons, mobilize. It is time.


 * Jetfire: What planet am I on?
 * Sam Witwicky: Earth.
 * Jetfire: "Earth?" Terrible name for a planet. Might as well call it "Dirt". "Planet Dirt." Tell me, is that bloody civil war still going on? Who's winning?
 * Sam Witwicky: The Decepticons.
 * Jetfire: Bah! Well, I changed sides to the Autobots.
 * Sam Witwicky: What do you mean changed sides? You can do that?
 * Jetfire: It's a choice. It's an intensely personal decision. So much negativity and wanton slaughter... who wants to live a life full of hate?
 * Wheelie: What, so ya mean ya don't haveta work for them miserable friggin' Decepticons?
 * Jetfire: Pah, if the Decepticons had their way, they'd waylay the entire cosmos.
 * Wheelie: [immediately falls in deference to Mikaela and, for some reason, starts humping her leg] I'm changin' sides, I'm changin' sides to, Warrior Goddess! Who's ya little Autobot?
 * [Mikaela looks down amused, while Sam, Simmons, and Leo look down incredulously and disturbed]
 * Mikaela: Aw, aren't you cute?
 * Wheelie: [STILL going at it] Name's Wheelie, say mah name say mah name!
 * Sam: [quite thoroughly disgusted] What're you allowing to happen to your foot right now?
 * Mikaela: [passive aggressively] At least he's faithful, Sam.
 * Sam: [no less annoyed] Oh yeah, well he's faithful, and he's nude, and he's perverted. NOW COULD YA STOP!? ''[kicks Wheelie of Mikaela's leg]


 * [As the Constructicons surround them]
 * Simmons: You ever see that film Gunfight at the O.K. Corral? With Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas?
 * Leo: No, why?
 * Simmons: Looks like we’re right in the middle of it.
 * Leo: Is that good?
 * Simmons: A lot of people died.


 * Sam: You’ve got to get in the car and get to safety.
 * Ron: No, this isn’t up for discussion! You’re my son! You’re my son!
 * Sam: I know. Dad-
 * Ron: We all go together!
 * Sam: Listen-
 * Ron: We’re all going together!
 * Sam: Dad, stop, okay? Get in the car. He’s gonna get you to safety. You know, you run. You don’t stop, you don’t hide, you run. You hear what I’m saying, okay? I’ll find you when you’re safe.
 * Ron: No.
 * Sam: You’ve got to let me go, Dad. You have to let me go. You have to.
 * Judy: Ron. Ron. Ron, let him go.
 * Ron: You come back! You understand? You come back to us! Come on.
 * Judy: Ron! Mikaela! Mikaela!
 * Sam: Go with my parents, I'm not gonna let you die with me.
 * Mikaela: No, I’m not gonna go without you. We see this through together.


 * Sergeant Epps: I hope those F-16s have good aim.
 * Major Lennox: Why?
 * Sergeant Epps: I told them to hit the orange smoke.
 * ''[Lennox looks over to a smoke canister that is pouring orange smoke into the sky almost directly next to them]
 * Major Lennox: That smoke?
 * Sergeant Epps: It wasn't one of my best tosses, okay?
 * Major Lennox: Alright...
 * Both: [to Sam and Mikaela, who are crouching next to them] RUN!


 * [After the Fallen is killed…]
 * Megatron: No... No...
 * Starstream: Not to call you a coward, Master, but sometimes cowards do survive. [Flies away]
 * Megatron: This isn’t over. [Follows Starscream]


 * Mikaela: It took all this for you to tell me that you love me.
 * Sam: You said it first.


 * Optimus: Thank you, Sam, for saving my life.
 * Sam: You're welcome. And thank you, Prime, for believing in me.

Quotes about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

 * The dialog of the Autobots®, Decepticons® and Otherbots® is meaningless word flap.
 * Roger Ebert, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen", Chicago Sun-Times, 23 June 2009
 * On every level this movie is as bankrupt as GM. [...] Transformers: The Revenge of The Fallen is beyond bad, it carves out its own category of godawfulness.
 * Peter Travers, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen", Rolling Stone, 24 June 2009
 * This is blockbuster porn absent even the suggestion of care or concern for anything that might resemble "a point," save the obvious one to move more Hasbro action figures and animated-series DVD boxed sets.
 * Robert Wilonsky, "Michael Bay Can't Live Up to Michael Bay in Transformers Part 2", The Village Voice, 23 June 2009
