- Police Capt. Dennis McDermott: [Clayton and Benson are trapped in the supply room and the Governor's staff is talking about how to rescue them] We have to move very slowly. If we move the wrong thing, we'll have to get those guys out of there with a spatula.
- Governor Eugene Xavier Gatling: [the Governor talking about past earthquakes in the state] The worst damage I heard of, was back when I was in high school. Old Man Norton's outhouse collapsed. He wasn't hurt, but they never did find his pocket watch.
- Peter 'Pete' John Downey: You know, Ms. Kraus, you're all out of cookies. I'll be in the basement.
- Miss Gretchen Wilomena Kraus: [Pete leaves the kitchen] How can I stop him eating everything?
- Benson DuBois: How good are you with a bow and arrow?
