Quotes 

  • Amy : Sometimes magma can find one of those fissures and rise up through it.

    Roark : What's magma?

    Rachel : Lava.

    Roark : Lava? Right here in L.A?

    Amy : It is one of the possibilities.

    Roark : We have a history of that here in the downtown area?

    Rachel : Paricutin... 1943, a Mexican farmer sees smoke coming out of the middle of his cornfield. A week later there's a volcano a thousand feet high. There's no history of anything until it happens. Then there is.

  • Amy : [calling Roark on his phone]  How fast can you get to the corner of Wilshire and Western, we have a problem.

    Roark : No, no. Not anymore. We have it stopped.

    Amy : The volume of ash is too high to think that we're out of danger.

    Roark : So, why did it just stop?

    Amy : Well, maybe it didn't, maybe it went someplace else.

    Roark : So, how do you know it didn't stop?

    Amy : I don't. But what I do know is when Mount Saint Helens blew, the force was twenty seven thousand times greater then that of the Hiroshima bomb. Do you think that vent released anywhere NEAR that amount of energy yet?

    Roark : No.

    Amy : Well, lets just assume that we haven't seen the real bulk of the magma yet. Trust me, get down here.

    [hangs up the phone] 

    Amy : Shit.

  • Amy : Roark, Roark. There's lava in the red line. This just came through on the radio. The lava had overtaken a subway train in MacArthur park and completely destroyed it.

    Roark : Is it still flowing?

    Amy : It stopped. But there's more under us. There's has to be something feeding this. We know that the lava broke through here at the tar pits and created this vent, and we know that it broke through at MacArthur park, so that means it is traveling laterally underground over a course of at least eight miles.

    Roark : Yesterday, you said it would flow straight up.

    Amy : I've never tracked lava under a city before. I don't know what it will do with man-made tunnels to travel through.

    Roark : I doesn't matter. I have to deal what's in front of me right now. I don't have time to read a filer on geological theory.

    Amy : Well, somebody has to.

    Roark : I can only fight what I can see.

    Amy : Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and check it out.

  • Dr. Jaye Calder : We have put the kids in the mall. The Hard Rock I think.

    Norman Calder : Okay, you've done your duty. Can we go now?

    Amy : Are you sure she is there?

    Dr. Jaye Calder : Yes. I've left her with some kids.

    [to Norman] 

    Dr. Jaye Calder : Norman, hold this.

    [hands Norman a pack of interferon] 

    Norman Calder : [hands a person the interferon]  Here take this.

    [to Jaye] 

    Norman Calder : These people are strangers Jaye! Are you gonna die for them? Jaye, answer me!

    Dr. Jaye Calder : I am answering you Norman.

    [to other doctors treating a man who is unconscious] 

    Dr. Jaye Calder : This man is under cardiac arrest. I'm defibrilating!

    [uses a defibrilator on the man] 

    Norman Calder : [turns away]  Oh shit! I'm outta here.

  • Amy : Right over the Red Line

    [metro tunnel] 

    Roark : That steam could come anywhere... maybe the earthquake broke a water main

    Amy : How did it get heated?

    Roark : I don't know

    Amy : You gotta lower me down there

    Roark : I'm not letting you down there

    Amy : Why... It's too dangerous?

    Roark : Yes

    Amy : I thought it was a water main?

    Roark : All right... I'll go

    Amy : You'll go... How are you gonna get up... I'm gonna lift you

    Roark : I'm not letting you go

    Amy : Then what are we going to do?

    [lowers a camera down the shaft]
