Mike : Wait a minute, you said desert!
Landa : There's a valley there with zero rainfall, plenty of fresh water in the snow for generations if need be.

Landa : I remember, Fred.
Fred the Cook : Preemptive first strike!
Mike : Shit!
Waitress : They have to evacuate us first, don't they?

Mike : That Thor Arthur thing meant something to you, I know it did. Is that the code for it?
Landa : It's possible.
Harlan : How the hell would you know, lady?
Landa : Because I used to date a guy who worked at the RAND Corporation. I've been trying to reach a few of our friends who could tell me if the unthinkable is being thought about in D.C. At this very moment, 4 out of 5 of them are in transit to the extreme Southern Hemisphere. I find that more than just very curious.
Mike : So what do we do?
Landa : We have less than 46 minutes until we'll know, and then everyone will. I'd like a head start. The streets will be jammed. I'm ready to make a commitment to getting to the airport as fast as possible, flying out from there.
