Henry Bennett: [to his young son] But you know, you know, the most scary bit for me?
Thomas Bennett: When the water hit?
Henry Bennett: No. After that, when I came up, I was on my own. That was the scariest part. And when I saw the two of you clinging to the tree, I didn't feel so scared anymore. I knew I wasn't on my own. You see?
Bellhop: And you, you don't work?
Maria Bennett: I'm a doctor. I'm not practicing right now. Just taking care of the kids.
Bellhop: I see, you got promoted.
Old Woman: Some of those stars have been burnt out for a long, long time. They're dead, but once they were so bright that their light is still travelling through space. We can still see them.
Lucas Bennett: How can you tell which one is dead and which one is not?
Old Woman: No, you can't, it's impossible. It's a beautiful mystery, isn't it?
Maria Bennett: Lucas, look at this place. They're so busy in here. You get to go and do something. Go help people. You're good at it.
Maria Bennett: You're so bossy.
Lucas Bennett: I wonder who I take after.
Henry Bennett: Did you set the alarm before we left?
Maria Bennett: Yeah, it was the last thing I did.
Henry Bennett: No, I was the last one to leave. I was the last one to leave, and I'm sure I didn't set it.
Maria Bennett: No darling, I was the last one out, and I did. I promise.
Henry Bennett: You sure?
Maria Bennett: Yup.
Henry Bennett: K.
Henry Bennett: [after a long pause] No, no, I was the last one, 'cause I went back in, and that means the alarm is not set, 'cause I didn't set it.
Maria Bennett: Well, um, I guess that means we'll be coming home to a large bunch of hippies sleeping in our bed.
Henry Bennett: What, just like your old college days?
