Dante's Peak

Paul Dreyfus: How about a nice adult beverage? Greg: [seeing Rachel get out of her car with the coffees] Yes! It's coffee time! Coffee! Coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee! Cappuccino! Java! Yes! Harry: This little puppy's called Spider Legs. She goes in when it's too dangerous for us. Boldly goes, I might add. Terry: You guys see this? Do you see this? I expect apologies and six-packs from each one of ya. Paul: That's Terry's answer to everything. Kick it if it doesn't work. Sheriff Turner: Attention all citizens. There will be a meeting held…in the high school gymnasium at 6 PM to discuss the evacuation of Dante's Peak. To repeat: All citizens are urged to attend the meeting…that will be held in the high school gymnasium… Nancy: Why look at computers when you can look at the real thing?

Harry: Any idea where I might find Mayor Wando? Cluster: She should be right around the corner, accepting some award. Dante's Peak was just named the best... well, the second-best place to live... in the United States, population under 20,000. Harry: Good for you. What was number one? Cluster: I don't know. Some piece of crap town out in Montana. Who cares?

Karen: Thank you. Thank you very much, Les. Mayor Wando, it gives me great pleasure to present to you…a Money magazine award: Dante's Peak, the second most desirable place to live in the United States, population under 20,000. Congratulations. Rachel: Thank you… Lauren: It's Karen! Rachel: Thank you, Karen. Thank you, Lauren. This award means a lot to us. We've been proud of our town for a long time. It's beautiful. It's safe. It's a wonderful place in which to raise a family. And now with the prospect of a major investment in our economic future…by Mr. Elliot Blair of Blair Industries…Will you stand up, Elliot? Next year we're gonna be number one.

Ruth: Hi, Rachel... You Rachel's boyfriend? Harry: Uh, no, no. Harry Dalton, United States Geological Survey. Just up here to check on your mountain. That's all. Ruth: Bunch of you people came up here right after Mount St. Helens went nuts. There was nothing going on then. There's nothing going on here now. Harry: Yes, well, um… Rachel: I need to take Dr. Dalton up to the high lake and wondered if the kids could stay here for a little while. Ruth: Sure. But why don't we all go? We can go swimming. Lauren: Yeah! Ruth: Mess around in the hot springs on the way back.

Sheriff: I thought this was supposed to be an extinct volcano. Harry: Not extinct, just dormant... as in sleeping. And your volcano might just be waking up. Les: You're talking about the evacuation of 7,400 people. You don't think that's extreme? Harry: All I'm talking about…is you consider alerting the town to the possibility of an evacuation. Les: What Mr. Dalton here doesn't realize…is that if Elliot Blair gets the idea there is some kind of problem here, he's gonna take his $18 million, his 800 jobs, and he's gonna evacuate. Jane Fox: Les, two people are dead, and we don't know… Les: This is the first time in 4 years that we have the opportunity… Rachel: Look, look! It's been a very long day. Let's try to treat each other nicely. Norman, why don't you pull out the town's emergency evacuation plans? We should at least have a look at them. Norman: If I can find them.

Stan: Look at this nice little town. Nestled all snug and cozy right against the mountain. Nancy: Yeah, just like Pompeii.
