President Orlean: Mmm-hmm. So how certain is this? Dr. Randall Mindy: There's 100% certainty of impact. President Orlean: Please, don't say 100%. Old Aide #2: Can we just call it a potentiality significant event? President Orlean: Yeah. Kate Dibiasky: But it isn't potentially going to happen. It is going to happen. Dr. Randall Mindy: Exactly, 99.78% to be exact. Jason Orlean: Oh, great. Okay, so it's not 100%. Dr. Teddy Oglethorpe: Well, scientists never like to say 100%. President Orlean: Call it 70% and let's just move on. Kate Dibiasky: But it's not even close to 70%. President Orlean: You cannot go around saying to people that there's 100% chance that they're going to die. You know? It's just nuts.

Guy from the Bar: I got three scared kids at home. How about you just tell us something. Dr. Randall Mindy: I understand. I wish could share information, but... Guy from the Bar: We're people just like you. We deserve to know! Kate Dibiasky: They're right. They deserve to know. Do you really wanna know what's going on? Dr. Teddy Oglethorpe: Kate, don't. Kate. Dr. Randall Mindy: Kate. Kate Dibiasky: They found a bunch of gold and diamonds and rare shit on the comet. So they're gonna let it hit the planet to make a bunch of rich people even more disgustingly rich!

Dialogue

Riley Bina: You guys discovered a comet? That's so dope. I have a tattoo of a shooting star on my back. Kate Dibiasky: Oh. Dr. Randall Mindy: That's terrific.

Dialogue

Dr. Randall Mindy: I don't feel so good. Brie Evantee: Alright, so I think what we'll do, we'll go to commercial break... Dr. Randall Mindy: No, please, please Brie. Don't cut away. Let me say something Jack Bremmer: You came to the right place, because on this show, we like to say things... Dr. Randall Mindy: Would you please, just stop being so [[bleep] pleasant? I'm sorry, but not everything needs to sound so goddamn clever or charming or likeable all the time. Sometimes we need to just be able to say things to one another. We need to hear things! Look, let's establish, once again, that there is a huge comet headed towards Earth. And the reason we know that there is a comet is because we saw it. We saw it with our own eyes using a telescope. I mean, for God's sake, we took a fucking picture of it! What other proof do we need? And if we can't all agree at the bare minimum that a giant comet the size of Mount Everest, hurtling its way towards planet Earth is not a fucking good thing,
