Dr. Stephen Sorenson: Get me section 3ection 31, the district below Point Albert.
John Masefield: There's been no activity in that section, none whatsoever.
Dr. Stephen Sorenson: There *will* be, in about half an hour. There are *two* fissures now, rather, two *ends* of the same crack. One of them has changed direction, and if the other one does...
John Masefield: If they're extended, where would they intersect?
Dr. Stephen Sorenson: At the bore hole, where it all started.
John Masefield: A circle cut out of the Earth's crust?
Dr. Stephen Sorenson: Yes. And it will break away, acting as a safety valve of immense proportion. Twenty-thousand square miles of the Eearth's surface thrown out into space
John Masefield: The effect on the Earth's rotation?
Dr. Stephen Sorenson: [shrugs]
John Masefield: Do you think the Earth can survive?
Dr. Stephen Sorenson: No one has ever observed the birth of a moon, Masefield.

Fred Derry: I dreamed I was gonna have my own home. Just a nice little house for my wife and me out in the country... in the suburbs anyway. That's the cock-eyed kind of dream you have when you're overseas.
Peggy Stephenson: You don't have to be overseas to have dreams like that.
Fred Derry: Yeah. You can get crazy ideas right here at home.
