- God, it's good to see you.

- We were going to change the world, Marty, remember? Did you ever get around to actually doing it? No, I guess not. Well, I think I can.

Top rated lines from this movie

I cannot kill my friend. Kill my friend.

There's a war out there, old friend, a world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information, what we see and hear, how we work, what we think. It's all about the information.
