- David Anders: [after checking the food in Clancy's house with the Geiger counter] Nothing, no radioactivity.
- Steven Anders: I'll get Deb.
- [goes outside]
- Steven Anders: Debbie? We found some food.
- Deborah Anders: Can we eat it?
- Steven Anders: Yeah, it's okay.
- [both go into kitchen and begin eating the food rapidly, along with David]
- Deborah Anders: [after a minute] Hey, we're gonna get sick.
- David Anders: Hm?
- [all three begin to laugh loudly]
- Deborah Anders: [after finding someone's clothes on a car seat and some white powder] It was a nuclear war.
- Steven Anders: Deb, come on.
- Deborah Anders: [going into hysterics] It was a nuclear war! And they're all dead! Everybody's dead!
- David Anders: [starts to hit the telephone with the receiver] No! No! No! No! No! No! No!
- Steven Anders: David.
- David Anders: Leave me alone! It's not a nuclear war! It's not the whole world, it's just here and that's all! And Mom's not here! She's home and she's alive! Just like us!
- [he takes off running]
- [first lines]
- Deborah Anders: It was a Sunday in August. Mom, Dad, David, and I were on vacation digging for fossils in the high Sierras. Mom had to go back to LA that morning. We didn't know that two and a half hours later the world as we knew it would cease to exist.
- Steven Anders: [David is walking far ahead of the group] David, you're gonna lose us.
- David Anders: You're goin' too slow.
- Deborah Anders: [talking about Jenny] She can't walk any faster!
- David Anders: I can't walk any slower.
- Deborah Anders: Well, what do you expect us to do, leave her here?
- David Anders: What about Mom? How do we know what's happening to her? She may need our help now, and she's slowin' us up!
- Deborah Anders: You know, I really believe he'd leave her here. What's happening to him?
- Steven Anders: He's scared, hon. I guess this is his way of hiding it. Be patient with him.
