  • Marty Gilbert: A countdown... wait, a countdown to what David?
  • David Levinson: It's like in chess: First, you strategically position your pieces and when the timing is right you strike. They're using this signal to syncronize their efforts and in 5 hours the countdown will be over.
  • Marty Gilbert: And then what?
  • David Levinson: Checkmate.
  • Marty Gilbert: Oh, my God. I gotta call my brother, my housekeeper, my lawyer. Ah, forget my lawyer.
  • Marty Gilbert: [on the phone] Ma, I know, just try and stay calm.
  • David Levinson: Tell her to pack up and leave town.
  • Marty Gilbert: What?
  • David Levinson: Just do it!
  • Marty Gilbert: Ma, listen, pack your stuff and head for Aunt Esther's. Don't argue with me; just go.
  • [hangs up]
  • Marty Gilbert: David, why did I just send my mother to Atlanta?
  • Marty Gilbert: [seeing the approaching explosion] Oh, crap.
