Jo
(after finding a barn full of sharp instruments)
Oh my God, who are these people?!
I don't think so!
(a house crashes in front of Bill and Jo and they have no choice but to drive through it)
I think we're going in! (they scream as they drive through the house and out the other side) ...Maybe we should get off this road.
Jo
I think you're right.
Jo
We saw it.
Jo
(Bill pulls Jo to the truck as she fights)
Beltzer will tell us if drops near us!
It's not gonna drop near us its gonna drop right on us!
(they get out just as the tornado drops where they just were)
Jo
Where's the road Rabbit?!
It should be any second!
(the group come out on the road a moment later and nearly crash into Jonas' convoy)
[After their first attempt to launch Dorthy fails. Jo is picking up parts, while Dusty is chuckling]
Well, there's some good news. It DID fly. What was it like?
Jo
...It was windy.
Windy. [Chuckles] That's intense.
Jo
[After her truck is destroyed, looking over at Bill's truck]
Do you have full coverage on that truck?
Liability only.
Jo
Liability only...Well, it's a very pretty truck.
Thank you.
[Bill smiles and realizes what she is thinking]
Don't even think about it. [Jo looks at him] NO WAY.
Jo
[A combine has just been dropped from a tornado.]
Debris! Dusty, we have Debris!
DEBRIS?
Jo
Right! Left! Right! Left!
Which way now?
Jo
I have no idea.
Jo
:[during an argument] Can I drive?
No!
Jo
Then will you? :[the truck is about to hit a tractor]
WOAH! [Swerves away] GODDAMN!
Jo
Where's my truck? [Jo's truck falls from the sky in the way of Melissa. Melissa screams hysterically, while at the same time able to swerve around it] There it is.
Melissa?!
[Melissa stops the truck, panting and in shock. The rest of the team goes to meet her. Dusty is there first]
Did you just miss that truck? That's AWESOME! That's AWESOME!
Jo
:[cow flies by in the storm] Cow.
Jo
'Nother cow.
Actually I think that was the same one.
Jo
[Aunt Meg is being loaded into an ambulance]
Is she OK?
Paramedic
We'll probably keep her overnight just to be safe.
Aunt Meg
Overnight? Forget it, I'm all right.
Jo
You're going to the hospital.
Aunt Meg
OK, I'll go, but I'm gonna drive myself.
Honey, your car is in a tree around the corner.
Aunt Meg
OOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
You know, Jo, some of us couldn't help but notice how close we are to Wakita.
Jo
No.
Aunt Meg wouldn't mind a pit stop, right?
Jo
No!
Red meat! We crave sustenance!
Jo
Guys, we are NOT invading my aunt!
F-food!
Rest of the Team
Food! FOOD!
Jo
Hey! We're absolutely not going!
Jo
[Bill sees Jonas talking to a camera crew about his D.O.T.3 system, then starts angrily walking toward him]
Bill?
Why didn't you tell me?
Jo
Bill, don't!
Joey
Uh, what?
Jonas
And what will soon be the center of all studies- [Bill punches Jonas off his hat and slams him against his D.O.T.3 system] Hey! Hey! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!
[Bill's team goes to stop Bill arguing with Jonas]
You son-of-a-bitch! What, did you think I wasn't gonna find out?
Jonas
Hey guys, get this loser off of me!
Jonas's team member #1
[Bill's team comes to pull Bill off of Jonas, so as Jonas's team pushing Bill away]
Alright! Back off! Back off!
Jonas's team member #2
Put your malfunction, man!
Joey
Come on, he's not worth it!
Jonas
What is the matter with you?!
Joey
Calm down!
Jonas
[Pushes Bill back]
What the hell are you talking about?!
DOROTHY. You took her, you damn THIEF!
Jonas
[Realizes what Bill is talking about and smiles]
Oh, I get it. You wanna take credit for my designs, is that it?
You're a liar. She was our idea and you know it!
Jonas
Unrealized idea. Unrealized.
That thing ain't worth shit! [Tries to attack Jonas again, Jo helps stop it]
Jo
Hey! Hey, guys! Bill! Guys! GUYS!!! Oh my guys! Get a grip on yourselves. We both know they'll never get that thing up in the air.
Joey
That's right!
Jonas
Well, let me enlighten you people. This baby has satellite com-link. We've got an onboard pulse Doppler, and we've got NEXRAD real-time. Today, we're gonna make history. So stick around, 'cause the days of sniffing the dirt are over.
Better than what you sniff.
We'll see who gets it first, PAL.
Jonas
Oh, and by the way...[Referring to Bill's new weatherman job] I really enjoy your weather reports. [Laughs and walks away]
[Some of Jonas's team members laugh] [Tries to go after Jonas again]
JEEZ YOU SLIME!!! I'm not through with you, yet!
[Melissa sees the commotion. Jo's team holds Bill back until Jonas leaves, so as Jonas's team pushing Bill away. Bill then shoves them away, though still fuming]
Alright! Alright!
Come on! Come here! Come on! Come on! Get your hands off of me! Let go of me! OKAY!!!
He's a corporate kiss-butt, man!
Jo
[Walks to Bill]
I'm sorry. I should've told you.
Okay, Professor! Hang on there, I think I fixed it. I got it.
Jo
[almost gets electrocuted by a short in the portable Doppler radar unit]
**** me, this thing is USELESS!
Whoops. Sorry, Jo.
Hiya, Jo.
Jo
Hey, Bill. I'm happy you found us.
How're you doing?
Jo
[Briefly looks up at the gathering storm clouds and smiles wide]
It's going good. Did you see the sky today?
Yeah, she's, uh, she's really talking.
Jo
Catch. [Tosses some electrical cables to Bill, who only catches them at the last second] It's the biggest series of storms in 12 years; one lined up right after another. NSSL says they've never seen anything like it.
[Bill and Jo are talking about Melissa]
YES, she's very nice. NO, she does not work at the station, she...she's a therapist.
Jo
[pause]
Oh. [beat] Yours?
CHRIST!
Jo
What?!
-You couldn't resist, could you?
Jo
I'm not saying you-
Come on.
Jo
-need therapy!
Wait, wait, wait, wait, I need therapy?
Jo
I didn't say that!
I need a therapist?
[Jo: I didn't say that!
What could I possibly need a therapist for?
Jo
I don't know.
You're the doctor, tell me.
Jo
I don't know! Um... inability to finish things? Maybe rushing into things you can't quite commit to?
Commitment?
Jo
You asked me.
Look...
Jo
YOU ASKED ME!
NO, that is BULLSHIT. Look, I may-
Jo
You asked-
have walked out, [looks away from the road and at Jo] but at least I showed up in the first place...
Jo
Okay, THERE'S A WHOLE ROAD THING GOING ON OUT HERE, OKAY?
You never had the slightest idea about commitment - what being married means! [truck veers into the grass] Like-like... stability, supportiveness, and a house, and all kinds of neat stuff like that!
Jo
Can I drive?
NO.
Jo
[notices Bill about to hit a parked combine]
Then would you?
WHOA!! [steers the car to safety] Damn...
Jo
Somebody should warn her about your temper.
Jo, I swear to-
Jo
She obviously has no idea what she's getting herself into.
[Cuts to Beltzer & Haynes driving, listening to Bill & Jo's argument over the radio]
' Stay the hell out of it. I know exactly what I'm doing!
Jo
What exactly are you doing?
What am I doing?
I think they're getting better at this.
Jo
[Cuts back to Bill & Jo]
You know what? As long as you're happy...
THANK YOU. I am happy. I'm a happy person. I'm happy with my life. I'm happy with the way things are going in my life. I'm happy with... [falls apart] with-- with-- with-- with--
Jo
Melissa?
Jo
You look happy. You're happy.
I AM.
Jo
[Jo and Jonas' chaser teams drive alongside one another on the same road to intercept a tornado. Bill, driving lead with Jo and Melissa, looks up at the tornado, then suddenly steps on the brake, stopping his truck and the rest of the team following]
What're you doing? What're you doing?!
[Jonas and his driver Eddie briefly look back in confusion, but keep driving]
Look at the updraft, the angle. It's gonna shift its track.
Jo
Are you sure?
Oh yeah, it's definitely a sidewinder...It'll move left.
Is that bad?
Wasn't there a road back there–?
Jo
[Sees what Bill saw]
You're right. Go, go, go, go, go!
[Bill quickly reverses, then turns left onto another road, the rest of the team following] [Her phone rings. She answers]
Hello? Donald, now's not a very good time for me, I'm – okay, put Julia on...
Jonas
[In his truck, Jonas is calculating the track of the tornado. Eddie's watching the tornado, sees it starting to turn.]
Looking good, looking very good. Alright, now about four miles south, hang a right, let's deploy, and we'll be done.
Eddie
Uh, Dr. Miller?
Jonas
[Looks up and sees the tornado's new heading]
Shit, shit, IT'S MOVING AWAY! God!
Eddie
[Sees Bill's team down a different road]
Looks like they're gonna intercept.
Jonas
[Looks with his binoculars in surprise at where Bill's team is]
Dammit, Tony, I thought you told me this thing was gonna stay on the same heading!
Allan
[last lines]
Hey, Jo, Bill, check out that sky!
Jo
You know what? I think we've seen enough. [Turns to kiss Bill]
