Quotes from Chiwetel Ejiofor's Characters

    1. Scotty: It's been upgraded to a 10.9 by the guys at Harvard.
    2. Adrian Helmsley: What does Caltech have to say?
    3. Professor West: The whole city of Pasadena was wiped out just a few minutes ago. This is coming in from Coachella Valley out near Joshua Tree. That wasn't there this morning. And 400 miles further north, Point Reyes, same thing.
    4. Adrian Helmsley: The San Andreas Fault is shifting.
    5. Professor West: Yes. And all major sister faults in the Bay Area. The whole Pacific plate is destabilizing.
