[after a lightning flash]

It's okay, you're fine.

Rachel

It hit right behind our house!

Ray

Yeah... uh... it's not gonna hit there again, okay? Because lightning doesn't strike twice in the same- [lightning strikes the same place] holy shit!

[Robbie, Ray and Rachel are fleeing the tripods along the highway]

Where are we going?!

Ray

We gotta go! We got to be the only working car around here. I'm not stopping until we are clear.

Clear of what?!

Ray

We gotta go!

What is going on?!

Ray

You saw! We're under attack!!

[Rachel begins to cry and scream hysterically]

By who?! Who is attacking us?!

Ray

Rachel... Rachel you've got to keep it down Rachel!

Ray
[Rachel, still crying, starts to hyperventilate]

Rachel! Shut up, Rachael! I can't think!!

You are freaking her out!!

Ray

Well, look, I'm driving!! Do something!!

[Robbie turns to Rachel and shows her an arm formation]

Okay, put 'em up, Rache. Make the arms. [Rachel copies the formation, still panicking. Robbie holds her arms] This space right here, this is yours. This belongs to you, right?

Rachel
[taking deep breaths, trying to calm herself]

Yes...

[reassuring her]

You're safe in your space.

Rachel

I'm safe in my space...

You're safe in your space. Nothing is going to happen to you in your space.

Rachel

I'm really scared...

I'm gonna go to the front seat to talk to Dad.

Rachel

No...

I will be two feet away, okay. Will you hold my hand?

Rachel

Yes.

Are you gonna be okay?

Rachel

Yes.

When they're hiding in the house of their mother

Rachel

I'm allergic to peanut butter.

Ray

Since when?

Rachel

Birth.

Rachel

If everything's okay, why do we have to sleep in the basement? We have perfectly good beds.

Ray

It's, like a slumber-party. [looks around] This is a nice basement...

Rachel

I wanna sleep in my bed. I got back problems.

Ray

Uh, well, you know how on the Weather Channel, when they say a tornado's coming and they tell you to go to the basement for safety? It's like that.

Rachel

There's gonna be tornadoes?

Ray

Okay, Rachel, no more talking.

Rachel
[Robbie puts his cap on Rachel's head.]

Could you be a little nicer to me, God?
