• Apache Pilot : [after accidentally hitting the Chrysler Building with a missile, blowing the roof off of it]  Aw, damn, uh... That is a negative impact. I repeat, that is a negative impact.

  Radio Technician #3 : Negative impact, sir.

  Mayor Ebert : [shocked]  Negative impact? That's the goddamned Chrysler Building we're talking about here.

• Mayor Ebert : What the hell's the matter with you people? You've caused more damage than that goddamn thing did!

  Gene - Mayor's Aide : All right, Mayor, calm down. Have some candy.

  Mayor Ebert : [flails his arms around like a child having a tantrum, knocking the bag of candy out of Gene's hand]  No, I don't want any candy! Leave me alone!

• Gene - Mayor's Aide : Didn't we agree that we weren't going to have any sweets until after the election?

  [Gene tries to take away Ebert's bag of sweets but Ebert grabs his hand] 

  Mayor Ebert : [threateningly]  Back off, Gene.

• Mayor Ebert : We can use this. "The mayor who destroyed Godzilla".

  Gene - Mayor's Aide : I don't think we should exploit this. It could backfire.

  Mayor Ebert : Listen to me, idiot, I do the thinking around here. It's a magnificent idea.

  Gene - Mayor's Aide : You know what I think about you and your campaign?

  [he gives Ebert a thumbs down gesture and walks away] 

  Mayor Ebert : Gene, wait a minute, where are you going? I need you!

• Mayor Ebert : Do you believe this?

  Gene - Mayor's Aide : I don't know what's going on.

  Mayor Ebert : You never know what's going on.

  Gene - Mayor's Aide : Thank you.
