Bremen Radar: What do you want?
Kenan: This isn’t a hijacking! This plane is about to crash. We’re ready to die and there’s nothing you can do. And I know very well that your laws forbid you to shoot us down, so listen carefully, okay? Today, we’re avenging the deaths of our brothers and sisters.

Tobias Ellis: No, I didn’t.
Vedat: You lied to me.
Tobias Ellis: No, that’s what I said.

Tobias Ellis: Okay, this weather is stronger. It’s too strong for the autopilot. So I’ll have to fly it. But I don’t have my left arm, so you have to help. Okay? Say, “Okay.”

Vedat: Don’t lie to me.
Tobias Ellis: I’m not lying. That’s how long it takes.
