And you, you don't work?
I'm a doctor. I'm not practicing right now. Just taking care of the kids.

No, Henry, you're the first to call. Is everybody all right?
Maria and Lucas are not here.
Family Member
What do you, what do you mean they're not there?
The water came and swept everyone away, and I found, I found Thomas and Simon... and I don't know what to do. I don't know where to look. [crying] Lots of people need to use the phone okay? I'll call you later.
Karl You can't leave it like that. Come on.
[calling back]
It's me again. Look, I promise you that I won't stop looking until I find them, okay? I don't know what I'm going to do cause it's nighttime now but I'll look in all the hospitals and I look in all the shelters. I will find them I promise you that. I'll call you when I do.
Yeah, it was the last thing I did.
No, I was the last one to leave. I was the last one to leave, and I'm sure I didn't set it.
No darling, I was the last one out, and I did. I promise.
You sure?
Yup.

[after a long pause]
No, no, I was the last one, 'cause I went back in, and that means the alarm is not set, 'cause I didn't set it.
[shrugs]
Well, um, I guess that means we'll be coming home to a large bunch of hippies sleeping in our bed.
[Trembling and distraught, after he and Maria have managed to take refuge on a tree in the rushing wave]
I thought I was a brave kid, Mum...! I'm scared! [sobbing]
Is it over?
I don't know! I don't know.
Mom, there's nothing we can do.
Wait.
We are almost there but we have to get to safety.
No, we have to help that boy.
If a wave catches us down here, we will die! We have to climb that tree right now.
Mom, look at you. We need help! We can't risk it mom. Come on.
Listen, what if that boy was Simon or Thomas? What if they needed help? You'd want someone to help them, wouldn't you?
Simon and Thomas are dead!
I wonder who I take after.
LUCAS!
DAD!!
Old Woman Some of those stars have been burnt out for a long, long time. They're dead, but once they were so bright that their light is still travelling through space. We can still see them.
How can you tell which one is dead and which one is not?
Old Woman No, you can't, it's impossible. It's a beautiful mystery, isn't it?
Thomas I'm scared.
I know, I know. I'm scared too but do you know, the most scary bit for me?
Thomas When the water hit?
No, after that, when I came up and I was all on my own. That was the scariest part. Then I saw the two of you, clinging to that tree, I didn't feel so scared anymore because I knew I wasn't on my own. What if Mommy and Lucas are on their own right now? Hmm? Imagine how scared they'll be.
Thomas We'll look for them together.
No.
Thomas You can't...
Thomas, no, you have to look after Simon and I'm gonna keep looking for them. Okay? Okay?
[at the hospital]
Lucas, look at this place. They're so busy in here. You get to go and do something. Go help people. You're good at it.
