Quotes:

Jenny Lerner: When I was 11, I stole $32 from your wallet.::Jason Lerner: When you were a baby I once dropped you on your head.

President Beck: Life will go on, we will prevail.

Spurgeon Tanner: [about the Wolf comet] Now the outgassing has created a vent a half mile wide and at least two miles deep. Comet gets closer to the sun; sun melts the ice, ice turns to steam. We get a big hole, okay? So, how many nukes do we have left in the back?::Mikhail Tulchinsky: Four.::Spurgeon Tanner: Okay. If we can get the remaining bombs in that vent, there shouldn't be anything left of that comet bigger than a suitcase. Now, we can't do anything about the little one, but you know... it just might give them a chance. Now, without the arming codes, we're going to have to wait to set the bomb timers until we get closer to Earth, to raise Houston.::Mikhail Tulchinsky: We may not have enough life support left to get back into the cargo bay for the nukes. Much less to go down to the comet.::Mark Simon: We sure as hell don't have enough propellent left in the Messiah to maneuver with. How are we supposed to get back off the surface once we've... once we've gotten down there?::[Fish is silent, and everyone's expression changes knowingly]::Orin Monash: We don't.::Andrea Baker: [smiles briefly] Well, look on the bright side. We'll all have high schools named after us.

Jason Thurman: Hey Leo, you're going to have more sex than anyone in our class!

Alan Rittenhouse: I know you're just a reporter, but you used to be a person, right?

Spurgeon Tanner: [reading to Oren Monash, blinded and strapped to a bunk in the spacecraft] Well, let's get started. Moby Dick. Chapter One. Call me Ishmael...

Oren Monash: Fish. Why the hell do they call you FISH?::Spurgeon Tanner: Well, Spurgeon... Sturgeon... FISH. Took about 15 minutes my first day at the Naval Academy.

President Beck: We always thought the deadline for public knowledge was the publication of next year's budget since we've spent more money than we can account for. That won't happen for two weeks. I don't suppose I could prevail upon you to wait two weeks in the name of national security?::Jenny Lerner: Two weeks? There's no such thing as two weeks in the news business.

[President Beck & Jenny are discussing the upcoming news conference about the comet]::Jenny Lerner: I want exclusivity.::President Beck: Now listen, young lady. This is a presidential favour. I'm letting you go because I don't want another headache. And I'm trusting you because I know what this can do for your career. Now, it may seem like we have each other over the same barrel but it just seems that way.::Jenny Lerner: I want...::President Beck: You want?::Jenny Lerner: May I... May I have the first question?::President Beck: I'll see you Tuesday, Miss Lerner.

Leo Biederman: [to his parents] I have to go back for Sarah.

Famous quotes by Mark Simon:

"I think our 1-2-2 zone helped a lot. We were able to take away the perimeter shots."

"He's probably the only pitcher that I know who really didn't need to warm up. You know most guys start out warming up slow and gradually increase their speed. When I knew Elmer, he went to the mound, he opened up and he was just about full speed on his first warm-up pitch. That struck me as being unusual."

"We didn't get rattled by (the dunk) at all. Defense won it for us. The turnovers created a lot of energy, and we play off of energy."

"He was at Hedgcock every waking moment. He was easy to find."

"We have tried to steel ourselves,"

"He was always in the gym every waking moment (practicing), ... I had to make sure he ate regularly."

"You want your best scorer to get the ball."

"None at all. When you get to that level, you're there to win games,"

"He was amazing with some of the things he'd do in practice, ... Practices can be a drag, but he made them fun."

"We'll lose it most definitely, ... It likes water, but it can't take three feet of it."
