Terry Rapson: This is very odd. There's a buoy here registering a thirteen degree drop in ocean temperature.
Simon: Oh, yeah, that's right. That buoy malfunctioned the other day. I'll put a call in, see if there are any ships near George's Bank to get it.
Terry Rapson: This buoy isn't in George's Bank. It's just off Greenland.
Simon: It is?
[Terry zooms the map out to show both buoys flashing]
Simon: What are the odds of two buoys failing?
Terry Rapson: Remote.
[A third one in a different area begins flashing]
Terry Rapson: Make that three.

Terry Rapson: There are no forecast models remotely capable of plotting this scenario -- except yours.
Jack Hall: My model is a reconstruction of a prehistoric climate shift. It's not a forecast model.
Terry Rapson: It's the closest thing we have. Nothing like this has ever happened before.

Terry Rapson: [Over the phone] What I'm about to tell you is supposed to be confidential. Several hours ago, three helicopters went down over Scotland. They crashed because the fuel in their lines froze.

Vice President Becker: Maybe you should stick to science and leave the policy to us.

President Blake: What exactly are you proposing, professor?
Jack Hall: [He draws a line from the middle of California across the US to the Virginias] Evacuate everyone south of that line.
President Blake: What about the people in the north?
