David Anders : [after checking the food in Clancy's house with the Geiger counter] Nothing, no radioactivity.
Steven Anders : I'll get Deb.
[goes outside]
Steven Anders : Debbie? We found some food.
Deborah Anders : Can we eat it?
Steven Anders : Yeah, it's okay.
[both go into kitchen and begin eating the food rapidly, along with David]
Deborah Anders : [after a minute] Hey, we're gonna get sick.
David Anders : Hm?
[all three begin to laugh loudly]

David Anders : [thinking about having their car forcibly taken earlier by a man] I wish I'd had the rifle. He wouldn't have got the Blazer.
Steven Anders : Why, would you have shot him?
David Anders : Yeah.
Steven Anders : Have we come to that already, David?

Steven Anders : All right, you ready to tell me what's going on? Had a feeling ever since we left Clancy's you had something on your mind you didn't wanna share. Is that for my protection or your sister's?
David Anders : I didn't know for sure.
Steven Anders : David, this is not some scientific experiment where we can sit and accumulate data to write a paper later on. I'm not a scientist. I have to depend on you. And we have to depend on each other. Now tell me, do you think something happened to the sun?
David Anders : Yeah, I do.
Steven Anders : What?
David Anders : Probably some kind of explosion.
Steven Anders : Would that reduce your mother's chances? Come on, we have to accept the worst.
David Anders : No!
Steven Anders : All right, then. All right, let's accept the best. Now you tell me all you know or all you think you know.
David Anders : Could've been a solar flare.
Steven Anders : Solar flares, don't they happen all the time?
David Anders : Yeah. It would have to be have been a big one, bigger than anything ever recorded. It was send out a tremendous amount of gamma rays, enough energy to knock out the power sources.
Steven Anders : But what killed the people? We know it wasn't radiation.
David Anders : I don't know. It had nothing to do with whether or not they were sheltered.
Steven Anders : That's right. Clancy's family died, but Michael and his parents lived. And we're alive, so your mother must be, too. All right, let's go tell your sister.

Deborah Anders : [after finding someone's clothes on a car seat and some white powder] It was a nuclear war.
Steven Anders : Deb, come on.
Deborah Anders : [going into hysterics] It was a nuclear war! And they're all dead! Everybody's dead!
David Anders : [starts to hit the telephone with the receiver] No! No! No! No! No! No! No!
Steven Anders : David.
David Anders : Leave me alone! It's not a nuclear war! It's not the whole world, it's just here and that's all! And Mom's not here! She's home and she's alive! Just like us!
[he takes off running]

Steven Anders : [David is walking far ahead of the group] David, you're gonna lose us.
David Anders : You're goin' too slow.
Deborah Anders : [talking about Jenny] She can't walk any faster!
David Anders : I can't walk any slower.
Deborah Anders : Well, what do you expect us to do, leave her here?
David Anders : What about Mom? How do we know what's happening to her? She may need our help now, and she's slowin' us up!
Deborah Anders : You know, I really believe he'd leave her here. What's happening to him?
Steven Anders : He's scared, hon. I guess this is his way of hiding it. Be patient with him.
