Bush speaking: "... we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never ... Hey what is that shiny thing over there? Can I see that?" (Okay this was much funnier to me in the middle of the night, but I still think it fits the President.)
The following link has the entire text of the original speech as delivered by Sir Winston Churchill, and is posted, with his other speaches and quotes, on the site of the Chruchill Centre at www.winstonchurchill.org.
