- Well, we could walk.
Helga
- WALK? It'll take days! We'll freeze to death! We'll be eaten by pigeons, or worse... eaten by RATS! I hate rats!
(about riding the subway)
- Sun goes down, stay above ground.
Helga
- Nope. No subway for me. Not no way. Not no how. I am not taking the subway.
- (next frame)

Blind Man
- Get off that pole, fat boy! That's for holdin' on, not climbin' on!
Harold
- Hey, how'd you know I was climbin'?

- Even though thousands of pounds of water are bearing down as we speak on the thin aging walls of this government-funded tunnel, you are in no danger.
Phoebe
- Actually, millions of pounds of water bearing down on the tunnel is more correct.
Conductor (over loudspeaker)
- Actually, this has never happened to me before!!! (sobs)
Grandma (on the stuck subway car)
- I'm the only ex-cop in this city crazy enough to take on a job like this.

Conductor (through PA system)
- (calmly) Passengers, it may just be a matter of minutes or hours (panicking) OR DAYS OR WEEKS (calmly) 'til the search and rescue team finds our (panicking) FORGOTTEN AND STRANDED SUBWAY CAR... (calmly) and takes us out of this (panicking) INCREASINGLY HOPELESS (calmly) situation, so let's all remain calm, there's no need to (panicking) DOOMED!!! WE'RE ALL DOOMED!!! WHY ME?!?!
Helga
- (sobbing) WE'RE ALL GONNA STARVE TO DEATH AND GET EATEN BY RATS!
Conductor (over PA)
- (calmly) Attention, passengers, I have an update: we're doomed, we're trapped. I'm talking to you from the fetal position. I'm scrunched up small, rocking back and forth, trying to think if there's any way out. I don't think there is. (panicking) I REALLY DON'T THINK THERE IS!!! DO YOU THINK THERE IS, NO!! THANK YOU FOR RIDING THE SUBWAY!!!! HAVE A NICE DAY!!! (sobbing)
Hillary
- Just think, big open spaces. Big wide open spaces.
Doctor
- That mantra doesn't do anything, you mental case!
Grubby man

Helga
- We know. We know.
Everyone
- Get out of your house.
Grubby man
- No, no, not that. I got something else to say…
