In response to all the other Questions, she naturally shifted her gaze to find the information she was looking i()r. Yet the students remembered they had seen the exact opposite, purely because of their expectation.177

One person suggested that she had not been able to keep eye-contact when she had lied, whereas she had kept eye-contact for all the other answers. I asked the rest of the group if they agreed with that theory, and there was general approval. In reality, as I then explained, the time she lied was the only occasion I hat she kept eye-contact. In response to all the other Questions,

How ingrained this common misunderstanding is hit home 10 me after a hypnosis show one evening. I sat a student in front of I he audience, which had remained for a question and answer session, and asked her a few questions about her day. I told her 10 lie once but to try not to give away on which occasion she had lied. I picked out the lie and asked the audience what she had done differently.

" You have fun with Jason.

PRESIDENT ORLEAN
Jason?
She realizes who he is talking about

INT. BASH LAUNCH CENTER - CONTINUOUS
Jason is still seated. The control center is almost empty.
JASON
She’s coming back."

"He says Jewish billionaires invented
the comet so the government can
confiscate our liberty and our
guns."

Heehehhehehe

"RANDALL
It’s somewhere between 6 and 9
kilometers across. So, it would
damage the entire planet. Much more
than a house.

JACK BREMMER
The entire planet. Ok, so while
it’s damaging that, can it hit this
one house in particular, that’s
just off the coast of New Jersey?
It’s my ex-wife’s house. I just
need it to be hit. Can we make that
happen?"

"It was a comet. A big
one. And it’s headed directly at
earth. And it very likely will hit.

JACK BREMMER
This sounds very, very exciting." 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

"From a wedding
proposal to a little science
experiment,"

"KATE
They know what we’re here to talk
about right?

STAGE MANAGER
Of course. Jack and Brie love doing
science segments. Just remember
keep it light, fun. Jack and Brie
love to have a good time."

THIS WOULD BE SUCH A GOOD BOOK TO ANALYSE FOR ENGLISH LITERATURE

"KATE
A comet bigger than the asteroid
that killed the dinosaurs is headed
directly at earth. If it isn’t
deflected the entire planet dies.

Phillip is stunned. A PASSERBY stops.

PASSERBY
What did you just say?

KATE
It’s for a video game.

Passerby moves on"

"RANDALL
I’M SORRY! How is it criminal if we
just tell people, like the public,
what we saw? And tell them the
truth."

"BENJAMIN
(re: Randall)
Make sure this one gets some kind
of media training before he hits
the shows. He seems a step slow."

"PRESIDENT ORLEAN
Do you know how many “the world is
ending meetings” that we’ve had
over the years? Economic collapse,
loose nukes, car exhaust killing
the atmosphere, rogue A.I....

JASON
Drought, famine, plagues,
population growth, the hole in the
ozone, the rapture, alien
invasion..."

"PRESIDENT ORLEAN
Okay, let’s bottom line this. What
is this gonna cost me? What’s the
ask here?"

SO MANY GOOD QUOTES

"this comet is
what we call a planet killer."

"So how certain is this?"

"99.78 percent to be exact."

"Oh, great! So it’s not 100%."

"Call it 70% and let’s move on."

"It’s not even close to seventy
percent."

"Look, can I sit down to have lunch
with your mom in like....7 months?"

"7 months?! That’s weirdly specific
and distant!"🤭🤭🤭🤭

"When you wake up, you won't be able to remember your
name. Just like all of those things that you try to remember
but find impossible; all of those things that are right on the tip
of your tongue but just get further and further away the more
you try to remember them. In the same way that you forget a
tune or a name, you will have no recollection of your name
when you awake."

"Students are asked to watch a film involving
a car accident. They are then asked, 'How fast do you think the car
was going when it passed the barn?' or 'How fast was the white
sports car travelling when it hit the bus?' In fact there was no barn,
and the car was not white. In formulating their answers, many of the
students will report afterwards remembering a white sports car or
a barn featuring in the film."

I LOVE THIS QUOTE SOO MUCH 🧡🧡🧡

"When they were young, they wanted to be rich, and now that they're rich, they want to be young" 🔥🔥🔥🔥
