" 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?"

"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."
