Quotes
-
Optimus Prime : What your leaders say is true: this was all my fault. I told them whom to trust. I was so wrong.
Sam Witwicky : That doesn't make it your fault, it just makes you human for a change.
Optimus Prime : Remember this: you may lose your faith in us, but never in yourselves.
Sam Witwicky : I need to know how you're going to fight back. I know there's a strategy, I know you're coming back with reinforcements, something. I know there's a plan. You can tell me, no other human will ever know.
Optimus Prime : There is no plan.
Sam Witwicky : If we just do what they want, how are we ever going to live with ourselves?
Optimus Prime : You are my friend Sam, you always will be. But your leaders have spoken. From here the fight will be your own.
-
Sam Witwicky : [to Lennox] We gotta get Sentinel outta here, he is the key to all this...
Sentinel Prime : Indeed I am! What you must realize my Autobot brothers, is we were never going to win the war! For the sake of our planet's survival, a deal had to be made... with Megatron!
[blasts Ironhide]
Lennox : GET BACK!
Ironhide : [rusting away] Sentinel... what have you done?
Sentinel Prime : [to Ironhide] I hereby discharge you from duty!
[shoots Ironhide again]
-
Optimus Prime : [shoots down the ship attacking Sam and Epps] We will kill them all! Your leaders will now understand: Decepticons will never leave your planet alone. And we needed them to believe we had gone. For today, in the name of freedom, we take the battle to them!
[other Autobots appear]
Sam Witwicky : I saw your ship blow up!
Roadbuster : The ship? We were never in the ship! We designed the damn thing, didn't we?
Leadfoot : We were hidden in the first booster rocket to seperate - splashed down back in the Atlantic, just as planned.
[spits]
Leadfoot : We ain't going nowhere!
Brains : Yeah, no one's exiling us!
Wheelie : The Autobots are staying right here. We're gonna help you win this war!
-
Dylan : Sam, do as I said, she won't be harmed, you have my word.
Sam Witwicky : I'll kill you, you have my word.

Sam Witwicky : [Bumblebee appears, transforms] That's my car.
-
Sam Witwicky : We got an emergency, you gotta get Colonel Lennox out here. I'm reporting Decepticons! Decepticons are back, you gotta open that gate right now!
NEST Guard : Easy sir, this is Heath and Human services.
Sam Witwicky : Right, packing M4s! What are you protecting? Colostomy bags? Bedpans? Throat lozenges? Where'd you get that hat from, nursing school? So you're nurses and foot powder protectors, fantastic!
-
Sam Witwicky : Come here. Come here!
Bumblebee : [through radio] "Come on, Sam!"
Sam Witwicky : What is your deal, huh? I know your Black Op stuff is important to you and i'm not trying to diminish it or guilt trip you or anything, I just never see you anymore! You can't come to the garage and hang out just one night?
Bumblebee : "Sam, that makes me feel bad."
Sam Witwicky : Well I hope you feel bad, you should feel bad - look at the jalopy I'm driving now - I feel bad every single day!
-
Charlotte Mearing : Mr. Witwicky, I thought I made it clear to you that I did not want you calling this phone...
Sam Witwicky : Listen, the whole thing has been a set-up since the beginning! The Decepticons wanted Optimus to find Sentinel because he was the only one who could revive him.
Charlotte Mearing : But we have the space bridge...
Sam Witwicky : Mearing, you have five pillars - I just learned that they have hundreds! You're doing exactly what they wanted you to do! What do you need me to say to you? The Decepticons are coming for Sentinel Prime!
-
Optimus Prime : They're surrounding the city to make a fortress so that no one can see what their up to inside. Our only chance is the element of surprise.
Sam Witwicky : [looks at the Decepticon airship] I think I know where to look. So you can fly this thing, right?
[Bumblebee wiggles his fingers]
Sam Witwicky : What is that... What is that? What is that? So-so? So you so-so can fly this. That feels terrible.
Bumblebee : Uh-huh!
-
[Bumblebee drops some sprockets]
Carly Miller : Oooh, rings!
[Bumblebee plays wedding chimes]
Carly Miller : I love this car!
Sam Witwicky : Yeah, but Bee. you gotta slow it down. You gotta slow way down, ok?
Bumblebee : [through his radio] "I'm just trying to help out."
-
Sam Witwicky : [comforting Carly] You're gonna be fine, I promise...
-
Robert Epps : I still got my NEST friends out there. I'm a round 'em up, we'll find your girlfriend and we're gonna bring this guy in.
Sam Witwicky : Why are you helping me?
Robert Epps : 'Cause that asshole killed my friends too.
-
Judy Witwicky : Sam, I think for a job interview that you should wear real pants.
Sam Witwicky : I think for life, you should wear real pants.
Judy Witwicky : [Sees Sam's new car] Oh, what happened to Bumblebee?
Sam Witwicky : He's off on his missions. I had to get this for backup.
Ron Witwicky : Your car has a job, huh?
Judy Witwicky : Stop. What does it change into?
Sam Witwicky : It doesn't change into anything. It's a collector's item, Ma. I got it for a steal. It just needs some work. Trust me.
Judy Witwicky : No, I think it's darling. It reminds me a lot of Bumblebee... if Bumblebee were a sad piece of shit.
-
Robert Epps : [seeing destroyed Chicago] My god. We came here to find her in the middle of all of that?
Epps Team 'Stone' : Are we really going out there Epps?
Eddie : I'm not going in there!
Robert Epps : No one's going in.
Sam Witwicky : I am. With or without you, I'll find her.
Robert Epps : You're going to get yourself killed Sam! Is that what you want? Is that what you want, you came all the way out here to get yourself killed? Listen to what I'm saying!
Sam Witwicky : She's here because of me, do you understand?
Robert Epps : Listen, if you go in this building, that's if she's still alive, there's no way you're going to be able to reach her!
Sam Witwicky : What do you suggest I do?
Robert Epps : It's over. I'm sorry, but it's over.
-
Wheelie : [coming in out of the rain] Frickin' shorting my circuits out here! It's inhumane, that's what it is! Make us live in a box on a balcony next to a beast? Like a common animal!
Sam Witwicky : Stop, okay? You and your creepy sidekick can't be in here without permission.
Wheelie : According to who? Miss Blondie Blonde?
[climbs on the dog]
Wheelie : Giddyup, little doggie! Ha!
-
Wheelie : You know, Sam, I don't know about moving in with this chick. What if she dumps us like the last girl?
Brains : She was mean, didn't like her.
Wheelie : Us guys gotta stick together!
Brains : [sings] We are family! fa-fa-mi-mi-family.
Sam Witwicky : No, we are not family! You're a political refugee, and I have finally found someone who appreciates me for me!
Brains : Well, you tell her that we're not your pets, and we're not your toys, all right? We're an advanced genius alien race just looking for a home!

Sam Witwicky : Promise.

[as the Autobots leave in the starship Xanthium]
Sam Witwicky : You wanted an answer, you got it.
Dylan : I always get what I want, Sam. I just had to be sure.
Sam Witwicky : Sure of what?
Dylan : That they would go without a fight.
[signals Starscream, who blows up the Xanthium]
Dylan : We all work for the Decepticons now.
-
Judy Witwicky : [learning Sam and Carly broke up] Okay, you gotta read this. "She Comes First." There's some killer shit in this.
Sam Witwicky : No, no, no...
Ron Witwicky : Oh, that's it, I'm going...
Sam Witwicky : No, no. No, no.
Judy Witwicky : Sit down! Sit down! Back me up.
Ron Witwicky : Happy wife, happy life.
Judy Witwicky : Fuck, yeah.
Ron Witwicky : Unhappy wife, stone-cold misery for the rest of your...
Judy Witwicky : [hitting him] Stop it.
Ron Witwicky : It's true.
Judy Witwicky : All I'm saying is, do you love this girl?
Sam Witwicky : She's the one.
Judy Witwicky : Then you gotta go get her. I mean, your dad and I, when we had troubles, he... he moved heaven and earth to find me. Guess what he... say what you said. Say it.
Ron Witwicky : "I will follow you to the end of time." Does that suck or what? I mean, it's like a bad sci-fi film.
Judy Witwicky : No, it was sweet.
-
Sam Witwicky : [after meeting Dylan] Oh, here we go. Here we go. See that? Judgment. Judge a man by his car? And you're gonna wave at him while he's judging me?
Carly Miller : What's with you? He's my boss. This job pays for our food, our rent.
Sam Witwicky : No, I totally understand. I'm totally fine. I get it. I'm well-fed. And guess what? I'm not your boy toy anymore. I got my big-boy pants on. You see 'em?
[she laughs]
Sam Witwicky : In the car, Duchess.
Carly Miller : Oh, my god. Are you threatened by him?
Sam Witwicky : [fake, forced laugh] Threatened? What am I threatened by? His money? His power? His good looks? None of the above. Check!
Carly Miller : [sarcastic] God, your temper tantrums are so sexy.
-
Sam Witwicky : You love it, don't you? I'm just your American boytoy!
Carly Miller : [laughs] I love a boytoy.
Sam Witwicky : Do you know how demoralizing it is that I've saved the world twice and still be groveling for a job?
Carly Miller : People don't know that you've saved the world Sam, I mean I do, I believe you.
Sam Witwicky : Government knows, I mean they could hook me up with a job right here in DC. I should be working with the Autobots otherwise, it's not fair.
-
Dylan : NOOOO!
[pulls a gun on Sam]
Sam Witwicky : Dylan, you can't do this, okay?
Dylan : There's only one future for me!
-
Sam Witwicky : The Autobots are off saving the world and I've organized four binders.
-
Sam Witwicky : [seeing Driller coming at them] No, no, NO! MOVE! WE GOTTA MOVE!
Robert Epps : Why do the Decepticons always get the good shit? We're about to be eaten, people!
-
Sam Witwicky : [Upset as it seems Bruce won't hire him for the job he wants] I've saved your life twice. I can't tell you how, but you are still alive because of me.
-
Charlotte Mearing : I don't care who you are. If you breathe a word of what you see in here, you will do time for treason. Do you understand me?
Sam Witwicky : I'll take my orders from the Autobots. I know them. I don't know you.
Charlotte Mearing : You will.
-
Brains : [watching Carly and Sam make out] Wow!
[snarls]
Brains : Get lucky!
Carly Miller : [shrieks] Get him out of here!
Brains : [is grabbed by Sam and is kicked] Wait. No, no, no, no!
Carly Miller : Oh, he's gross!
Brains : She's good.
Sam Witwicky : Sorry. They're stranded here. Somebody's got to watch out for them.
Carly Miller : Yesterday, that one was in my underwear drawer.
Brains : Did research! Looking real good too! Ha-ha-ha...
[Sam slaps him]
Brains : Ow! No need to hit me!
-
Dylan : I really think I could help you, Sam. I remember a talk I had with my dad once about tough choices.
Sam Witwicky : Yeah, now's not the time. We'll set something up, though.
Dylan : Of course, that was way back when my dad's firm was in charge of budget review and accounting for NASA. You see, the thing that he taught me was, when it's not your war, you join the side that's going to win.
-
Lennox : Director Mearing, this is Sam Witwicky, the civilian...
Charlotte Mearing : I know his name, Colonel. I want to know who gave him clearance.
Sam Witwicky : Who gave me clearance? How about Optimus Prime when he touched down in suburbia looking for my house?
Lennox : This is the National Intelligence Director, in case you...
Sam Witwicky : [awkwardly] Hi.
Charlotte Mearing : Disrespecting a federal officer? Huh. Maybe that'll get you somewhere. Who's she?
Sam Witwicky : She's my girlfriend.
Charlotte Mearing : What is this, like, a date?
Lennox : She knows all about the Autobots, okay? She knows Bumblebee. And she comes from a military family. I can vouch for her.
Sam Witwicky : Hey, I-I have an idea. How about we get back to the important topics, like the fact that I almost had my face cut off by a Decepticon? As a taxpayer, I'd like to lodge a complaint, a-as a matter of fact.
-
Dylan : You really think you're the first man ever asked to join the noble alien cause?
Sam Witwicky : Who are you?
Dylan : Do you know why we've not been back to the moon since 1972? Because these two... they came to my dad and they told him to do some creative accounting. Make it way too expensive to ever go back. So he and others shut down the American and Russian space programs, and they've been our clients ever since.
Sam Witwicky : You help them kill people?
Dylan : You think they'd give you a choice? Besides, it's not like I personally participated.
-
Charlotte Mearing : "Total Nightmare" file. So the investigation is open. We've sent agents to your office. And for the time being, we're gonna send you home with Autobot protection.
Sam Witwicky : Who-who do I need to speak to get you guys to understand that I can help? That I can contribute?
Brains : Hey, we can all help. Want me to tell you what I know? I could tell you about the solar system, all the gun planets to hang out in.
Charlotte Mearing : [taking out and putting her gun on the desk] Get off my desk, please.
Brains : Oh, you pulling out guns? I can't help you out now. She angry.
Charlotte Mearing : Oh, my god.
Sam Witwicky : What do you envision for me? I go home now? I go back to work? I make copies? I mean...
Charlotte Mearing : This is a unit for veteran intelligence officers and Special Forces, not for boys who once owned special cars.
-
Sam Witwicky : That woman, she called me a messenger. You believe that? After everything I've done, I'm a messenger.
Wheelie : Oh, I believe it. I tell you, Sammy, we feel the same way. The disrespect on this rock is criminal.
-
Sam Witwicky : I know you're worried, but I promise you, I can... I can handle this.
Carly Miller : Can you? You can promise it?
Sam Witwicky : I promise.
Carly Miller : Sam, I don't want to lose you, and I know where this leads. I'm not ready for this. Are you coming with me?
Sam Witwicky : I can't.
-
Carly Miller : You think I could sleep last night? And then it hit me: no, Sam wants to be in danger. He doesn't know who he is without it.
Sam Witwicky : I just want to matter.
Carly Miller : You matter to me.
-
Sam Witwicky : It's funny. I was just thinking on the way over here, I could really use some advice from Dylan. And there he is.
[to Carly]
Sam Witwicky : Can I speak to you?
Dylan : Welcome. Please, sit down. Have a drink.
Sam Witwicky : You know what? I don't need a drink. Or a car or a job. I just need to speak to my girlfriend alone. Is that okay with you, Mr. Inappropriate?
-
Dylan : You think you're a hero? YOU THINK YOU'RE A HERO?
Sam Witwicky : No, I'm just a messenger.
[knocks Dylan into the pillar]
-
Sam Witwicky : [looking at documents] Bee, there's something else going on here. The moon programme, the cover-ups, the assassinations, it's all led to this...
-
Sam Witwicky : [pillars start to spark] It's starting!
-
Sam Witwicky : Chicago is Ground Zero, do you understand?
