Which character in "Contact" said...

So you think you are a fan of "Contact." Let's see how well you know it. Match the following lines with the characters that spoke them. Can you get them all right?

  1. Mathematics is the only true universal language.

  2. Ok to go... Ok to go

  3. [Young Ellie on a ham radio following her father's death] CQ... CQ... this is W9GFO, come back? Dad, do you read me?

  4. What I'm asking is... are we happier? Is the world fundamentally a better place because of science and technology? We shop at home, we surf the Web, and at the same time we feel emptier, lonelier, and more cut off from each other than at any other time in human history...

  5. So what's more likely? That an all-powerful, mysterious God created the Universe, and decided not to give any proof of his existence? Or, that He simply doesn't exist at all, and that we created Him, so that we wouldn't have to feel so small and alone?

  6. I'm not against technology, doctor. I'm against the men who deify it at the expense of human truth.

  7. Ironically the thing that people are most hungry for, meaning, is the one thing that science hasn't been able to give them.

  8. I've had a long time to make enemies, doctor. So many governments, business interests, even religious leaders that would like to see me depart this Earth. I'll grant them their wish soon enough. But before I do, I wish to make a small contribution. A final gesture of good will to the people of this little planet who have givenâ€"from whom I have takenâ€"so much.

  9. You're an interesting species, an interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other.

  10. Ellie, still waiting for E.T. to call?

  11. First rule in government spending: why build one when you can have two at twice the price?

  12. [On why the message does not foreshadow an alien attack] We pose no threat to them. It would be like us going out of our way to destroy a few microbes on an ant hill in Africa.
