Quotes1

  • Jay Whitman: [at happy hour after a close call with the nuclear defense system] Let me just tell you what that particular privilege buys you.
  • Kat Sandoval: Mm hmm, tell him.
  • Jay Whitman: You get whisked away, without saying goodbye to your friends and family. And then you get to be in an underground bunker with generals and top government brass for weeks or months, eating MREs and drinking ionized water. You emerge after the radiation's reduced to livable levels. At which point you get to try to pick out your loved ones bones from the rubble and ash. And then you spend however many years running the bombed-out husk of the former United Stats government under martial law. That's not a list that you wanna be on.
