Original clip from this movie

...this is W-9 GFO. CQ, this is W-9 GFO here. Come back? CQ this is W-9 GFO here. Come back? CQ, this is W-9 GFO. Is anybody out there? Not getting anything. Small moves, Ellie. Small moves. CQ, this is W-9 GFO here. Come back? Copy, W-9 GFO. K-4 WLD here. What do I say? Just be yourself. Where are you, K-4 WLD? Come back? Pensacola. Over. Pensacola, where's Pensacola? I'll give you a hint. Orange juice. Copy that, K-4 WLD. How's the weather down there in Florida? Pensacola, Florida. I have to tell you, Sparks. 1,116 miles. Pretty good. That's the farthest yet.

'Hey, Dad? Do you think there's people on other planets? I don't know, Sparks. But I guess I'd say, if it is just us, it seems like an awful waste of space.'

'CQ, this is W-9 GFO. Repeat. This is W-9 GFO. Come back? I'm going to need a bigger antenna.'

'I know it's hard to understand this now but we aren't always meant to know why things happen the way they do. Sometimes, we just have to accept it as God's will. I should have kept medicine in the downstairs bathroom. Then I could've gotten to it sooner.'

'The question that I'm asking is this: Are we happier as a human race? Is the world fundamentally a better place because of science and technology? We shop at home, we surf the Web but at the same time we feel emptier and more cut off from each other than at any other time in human history. We're becoming a synthesized society in a hurry to get to the...'

'Doctor, are you familiar with the scientific precept known as Occam's Razor? Yes. It means if the things are equal the simplest explanation tends to be the right one. Exactly. Now. You tell me. What is more likely here? That a message from aliens results in a magical machine that whisks you away to the center of the galaxy to go windsurfing with your own Dad and a split second later returns you home without a single shred of proof? Or that your experience is the result of being the unwitting star in the farewell performance of one S.R. Hadden? A man with the means and motive and the opportunity to play you and all of us as pawns in the biggest, the most elaborate, the most expensive hoax of all time?'

'All I know is that I wasn't alone, and for the first time in my life I wasn't scared of nothing, not even dying. It was God and there's no chance that you had this experience because some part of you needed to have it. I'm a reasonably intelligent guy but this ...'

'I had an experience. I can't prove it. I can't even explain it. But everything that I know as a human being, everything that I am tells me that it was real. I was given something wonderful, something that changed me forever. A vision of the universe that tells us undeniably how rare and precious we all are. A vision that tells us that we belong to something that is greater than ourselves. We are not alone.'
