- Peggy Hatton: Do you know what's happened?
- Jeff Nolan: No I don't. I took a plane up this morning for a shakedown flight and when I went up everything was normal. When I came down, everyone was dead. I drove all day. You're the first folks I've seen alive.
- Quinn Taggart: You're kidding yourself Nolan. What happened earlier this morning, that was no accident. Whoever did it, won the war. All they're got to do is to move in and take over, and then it's every man for himself.
