Quotes 

• Greg Stillson : Put your hand on the scanning screen, General, and you'll go down in history with me!

  Five Star General : As what? The world's greatest mass murderers?

  Greg Stillson : You cowardly bastard! You're not the voice of the people, *I* am the voice of the people! The people speak through *me,* not you...! It came to me, Sonny; in the middle of the night, it came to me. I must get up now, *right now,* and fulfill my destiny!

  [to the General] 

  Greg Stillson : Now, you put your goddamned hand on that scanning screen, or I'll chop it off and put it on there for you! *Do it!*

  Five Star General : ...May God forgive me.

  [He does as he's told, then Stillson completes the sequence and pushes "The Button"]
