Girl: Daddy, where are we going?

Jackson: Going to a relly special place I know. Actually, it's a place where your mom and I used to hang out a lot.

Boy: I don't want to know where you and mom had sex. I'm not ready for that, Jackson.

Jackson: Stop calling me that, it's creeping me out. What's wrong with "Dad"?

Girl: Daddy, look at this.

Jackson: That wasn't here before. What did I do? Go get your hat.

Boy: Can't you see the signs?

Jackson: There used to be a lake here.

Girl: Doesn't look much of a lake to me.

Jackson: I know. The whole damn thing's gone. Come on, let's check it out.

Boy: Great.

Charlie: Subjects have now entered hot zone.

Girl: What is that?

Jackson: It's the U.S. Army.

Charlie: All manner of government vehicle are converging on subjects.

Soldier: You're in a restricted area, sir. We need you and your family to come with us.

Jackson: Right. Okay, we're gonna go with these guys. That'll be fun, huh?

Charlie: This is wild. This is really wild.

Adrian: This is unbelievable. 2700℃ at 40,000 feet?

Scientist: I know, it sounds completely implausible. Nonetheless, we're noticing an increase of almost 0.5%

Scientist: No. Per hour.

Man: Dr. Helmsley, we arrested some tourists in the hot zone.

Adrian: I'll take care of it. Let's get Satnam on the communications link. Try to cross reference the data.

Adrian: We're geologists.

Jackson: You usually go digging with machine guns?

Adrian: Major, I'll take care of this, thank you.

Jackson: So what happened to the lake?

Adrian: Well that's what we're trying to find out. We think the entire area has become unstable. I think you should take your kids and leave, Mr...Curtis. You're not by any chance the Jackson Curtis who wrote "Farewell Atlantis"?

Jackson: The very same.

Girl: It's actually dedicated to my mom.

Adrian: I read a couple of your short stories in college. Your father is a very talented man.

Jackson: Listen up.

Adrian: It's amazing. I'm reading your book. I'm around day 300, the shuttle has just lost communication with Earth.

Jackson:  You're one of the lucky few who bought it.

Adrian: I didn't buy it.

Jackson: No?

Adrian: My dad gave it to me. Let me ask you something. Do you think those people would behave so selflessly knowing that their own lives were at stake?

Jackson: I hope so. The critics said I was naive, an unabashed optimist, but what do they know, right?

Adrian: It was a great pleasure meeting you. Mayor, could you escort these good people to the camp grounds, please. This is yours. Thank you

Mayor: Yes, sir.

Adrian: Take care.

Girl: He was very nice.

Jackson: You're just saying that cause he like my book.
