No Will Smith reference from this movie will make anyone think anything other than this guy touches his dick with other guys' dicks. So spare us. Instead turn to Bill Pullman as The President of the United States. He's a combat pilot, Will. He belongs in the air. Before returning to his war hero days, Pullman's Thomas Whitmore delivers a speech to rival all inspirational speeches. Take it from a guy who used to watch Braveheart before JV basketball games.
Mankind, that word should have new meaning for all of us today. I find myself using this phraseology when I have to elevate the importance of anything. For example: You're hungover and beat to all holy hell on any given Sunday afternoon. You remark to your girl - Breakfast burrito, that word should have new meaning for all of us today.
We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. When being dramatic, please rhyme. Not overtly, but subtly and poetically. What the hell, if you have to give a do or die pep talk to whomever you're inspiring, just plagiarize the shit out of this quote if you can make it applicable. If you can get just one goose bump, you've done your job. And that's what I call a close encounter...shame on me.
