View Quote What you hear isn't half of it. He's got scams you haven't even dreamed of. Kickbacks on his kickbacks.

Nick: The guy that sold me that camera just set up our computer network.
T: Windows NT?
Nick: No, just Windows.
T: Man, get out of here with that shit.

Nick: That's ridiculous. If you wanted a job, you could have one.
T: There's a spider on your head.

View Quote Loris Harrow: There's more to a bottle cap than keeping liquid from leaking out of glass. The main thing is: pay attention, pay attention to everything, everything you see.

View Quote Doon Harrow: The Generator's our only source of power. If it goes, we all go.
Loris Harrow: Well, that's dramatic.
Doon Harrow: Dad, this place is falling apart. No, I will not just sit around while Ember collapses. I'm getting in to that generator, whatever it takes.

View Quote Loris Harrow: [first lines] On the day the world ended, the fate of mankind was carried in a small metal box. In a secret location, architects, scientists and engineers met and concluded that there was only one hope for our future: to build an underground city designed to keep its citizens protected for generations to come. [Later on] The box was entrusted to the first mayor, who was to pass it on to her successor. As the years counted down, the box passed from mayor to mayor. None knew what secrets it held, only that it would open when it was needed most. But fate ran another course, and the chain was broken. The box was tucked away and forgotten, and as the city grew old and began to crumble, the box quietly clicked open.
