- [first lines]
- Remy Royce-Graff: God damn it!
- Stewart Graff: Your last words to me last night; your first word in the morning. Ever thought about expanding your vocabulary?

- Walter Russell:Thank you sir.
- Dr. Stockle:However, isn't that rather slender evidence for predicting a catastrophe?
- Mayor Lewis: The governor and I aren't even in the same party. If this turns out to be a false alarm, he'll make me out to be the biggest fool west of the Mississippi.
