Transformers

I saw the movie, it fun, but I was really displeased with this dialog:
<quote>
Agent Simmons: What you’re about to see is totally classified…
[Project Iceman is reveled: a towering mechanical clossus, imprisoned in a cryogenic chamber]
Keller: [awestruck] Dear God… what is this?
Tom Banachek: We think that when he made his approach over the North Pole our gravitation field screwed up his telemetry and crashed into the ice, probably a few thousand years ago. We shipped him here to this facility in 1934.
Agent Simmons: We call him NBE-1.
Sam Witwicky: I don’t mean to correct you on all that you think you know, but that’s Megatron. He’s the leader of the Decepticons.
Tom Banachek: He’s been in cryo-stasis since 1935. Your great-great-grandfather made one of the greatest discoveries in the history of mankind.
Agent Simmons: Fact is, you’re looking at the source of the modern age. The microchip, lasers, cars, space flight: all reverse-engineered by studying him. NBE-1…
[sneers at Sam]
Agent Simmons: That’s what we call IT!
Agent Simmons: And you didn’t think that the United States Military might need to know that you’re keeping a hostile alien robot frozen in the basement?
Tom Banachek: Until these events we had no credible threats to national security.
Keller: Well, you got one now!
