Attention all citizens. There will be a meeting held…in the high school gymnasium at 6 PM to discuss the evacuation of Dante's Peak. To repeat: All citizens are urged to attend the meeting…that will be held in the high school gymnasium…
I thought this was supposed to be an extinct volcano.
Not extinct, just dormant... as in sleeping. And your volcano might just be waking up.
You're talking about the evacuation of 7,400 people. You don't think that's extreme?
All I'm talking about…is you consider alerting the town to the possibility of an evacuation.
What Mr. Dalton here doesn't realize…is that if Elliot Blair gets the idea there is some kind of problem here, he's gonna take his $18 million, his 800 jobs, and he's gonna evacuate.
Les, two people are dead, and we don't know…
This is the first time in 4 years that we have the opportunity…
Look, look! It's been a very long day. Let's try to treat each other nicely. Norman, why don't you pull out the town's emergency evacuation plans? We should at least have a look at them.
If I can find them.
Look at this nice little town. Nestled all snug and cozy right against the mountain.
Yeah, just like Pompeii.
I'm okay. My doc says I can leave as soon as they make sure my head's okay.
Okay. See ya in ten years then.
Ow. Ow.
I think Spider Legs was just... getting even with you for all those kicks in the butt you gave it!
You guys see this? Do you see this? I expect apologies and six-packs from each one of ya.
I can't see through the ash.
Maybe you ought to turn the lights on.
They are on.
Make the windshield wipers go faster?
I don't know how.
It's that thing there.
Don't touch things! You're gonna mess something up.
Like what?
I don't know. Something!
Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
Oh, my God! Don't look back, kids! Don't look back!
A man who stares at a rock must have a lot on his mind. Or nothing.
Eight years it took us to get this town on its feet. You wouldn't believe the struggle.
Fun is what you have when you don't have two children, a business, and a town to run.
Harry, Rachel, Graham, Lauren, and Ruth [singing while sailing across the acidic lake]: Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream... Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily... Life is but a dream... Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream... Merrily, merrily... Row, row, row your boat... Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily... Row, row, row your boat... Life is but a dream…Gently down the stream…Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily... Life is but a dream... Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily... Life is but a dream…Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily…Life is but a dream... Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily...
I'd like to thank Karen from Money magazine for this wonderful award. It's…oh, what is it, Lauren, is it Karen or Kathy?
I've always been better at figuring out volcanoes than people & politics.
Paul, I think we should monitor the entire area. Get the whole shooting match in here. I don't know, but the acidity in the lake is high enough to bother me. There's enough carbon dioxide coming out of the soil to start killing trees and wildlife…Paul. Paul, you sent me up here to check. I'm doing that. I think attention should be paid.
Thank you, Karen. Thank you, Lauren. This award means a lot to us. We've been proud of our town for a long time. It's beautiful. It's safe. It's a wonderful place in which to raise a family. And now with the prospect of a major investment in our economic future…by Mr. Elliot Blair of Blair Industries…Will you stand up, Elliot? Next year we're gonna be number one.
