Ray Ferrier : [playing catch with Robbie] Mom says you got a report due on Monday, so you're going to work on that when you're done here.
Robbie Ferrier : Yeah, I'm almost finished, I just gotta type it up.
Ray Ferrier : Yeah, bullshit.
Robbie Ferrier : Yeah? What do you know, Ray?
Ray Ferrier : Everything. Haven't you heard? Between me and my brother, we know everything.
Rachel Ferrier : What's the capital of Australia?
Ray Ferrier : That's one my brother knows.
Robbie Ferrier : Okay with you if I just laugh the first five hundred times you tell that one?
Ray Ferrier : ...Just do your report. We don't send you to school so you can flunk out.
Robbie Ferrier : You don't pay for it, Tim does.
Ray Ferrier : [hesitates furiously for a second, then throws the ball really hard at Robbie, Robbie catches it hardly] That's half of what I got.

[Robbie is trying to hitch a ride with passing soldiers]
Ray Ferrier : Robbie, you want to go in that direction? There is nothing *living* in that direction!
Robbie Ferrier : What do you care? You never gave a shit before! You never gave a shit!
Ray Ferrier : Okay, hard-ass. You're in charge now? So what's your plan?
Robbie Ferrier : We catch up with these soldiers, and we head back there, and we get back at them! We get back at them!
Ray Ferrier : Okay, now come up with a plan that doesn't involve your 10-year-old sister joining the Army! You got anything like that?
Robbie Ferrier : Why don't you tell the truth? You don't know where to go! You only chose Boston because you hope Mom is there; You hope she is there, and then you can dump us on her! Then you will only have to care about yourself, which is exactly the way you like it!

Rachel Ferrier : If everything's fine, why do we have to sleep in the basement? We got perfectly good beds.

Ray Ferrier : Nice basement.
Rachel Ferrier : I wanna sleep in my bed, got back problems.

Ogilvy : They've been planning this for a million years. We're beat to shit.
Ray Ferrier : Please... my daughter.
Ogilvy : Think about it. They defeated the greatest power in the world in a couple days. Walked right over us. And these were only the first. They'll keep coming. This is not a war any more than there's a war between men and maggots... This is an extermination.

Ray Ferrier : You saw the lightning? Were you near it?
Robbie Ferrier : Yeah. 26 times we counted, over and over again. The lightning just started hitting. It opened up this, like, hole or something. I don't know.
Ray Ferrier : 26 times?
Robbie Ferrier : Yeah.
Ray Ferrier : You're okay?
Robbie Ferrier : Yeah.
Ray Ferrier : Good. All right, well, your sister is in the house. And I want you to go in that house and I want you to stay with her. And the next time you take my car with no driver's license and no permission, I call the cops.

Ray Ferrier : I am *not* going to let my daughter die because of you.
-

[Rachel is running to the trees to use the "bathroom"]
Ray Ferrier : Stay where I can see you.
Rachel Ferrier : I don't want you looking at me!
Ray Ferrier : I won't, but stay in sight.
Rachel Ferrier : That's looking!

Ray Ferrier : Two for you, two for Robbie, two for me... One for the house.
-
Ray Ferrier : That is so weird. The wind is blowing *toward* the storm.

Ray Ferrier : Okay, enough of the "Ray" shit, alright? It's Dad, Sir, or if you want, Mr. Ferrier... That sounds a little weird to me, but you decide.
Rachel Ferrier : *Dad*?

Rachel Ferrier : ...Got a splinter.
Ray Ferrier : Where'd you get it? Come here.
Rachel Ferrier : [Heads over to Ray] On your porch railing...
Ray Ferrier : Let me take that out.
Rachel Ferrier : Absolutely not!
Ray Ferrier : Come here! Let me see it.
Rachel Ferrier : [Rachel shows him the splinter, trying not to let him grab her hand]
Rachel Ferrier : Dad, just look at it. Don't touch it... dad!
Ray Ferrier : I can't... you're moving it.
Rachel Ferrier : Okay, but don't touch it! Just look at it.
Ray Ferrier : ...It's gonna get infected.
Rachel Ferrier : No, it won't.
Ray Ferrier : Yes, it's gonna get infected.
Rachel Ferrier : No it won't!... When it's ready, my body'll just push it out.
Ray Ferrier : Push it out, huh?
Rachel Ferrier : I read that... You should get Tivo. Tim got it for my room. It's awesome. I watch all my shows after homework.
Ray Ferrier : Yeah, just put it on my, uh, platinum card... Robbie? Robbie!
[Ray dips a piece of food in the hummus, disgusted]
Ray Ferrier : What... what is that?
Rachel Ferrier : Hummus.
Ray Ferrier : Hummus?
Rachel Ferrier : From the healthfood place. Kept one of the menues last time we were here.
[Ray nods his head]
Rachel Ferrier : [Scoffs] You said order!
Ray Ferrier : I meant order *food*.

Ray's Boss : Do you know what your problem is?

Rachel Ferrier : What are we supposed to do for food?
Ray Ferrier : You know - order.

Ray Ferrier : There's nothing living in that direction!

Robbie Ferrier : If we had any balls we'd go back there, find one of those things and kill it.
Ray Ferrier : Thank you, but maybe you should let me handle the big decisions.
Robbie Ferrier : When will that be, Ray? Never? Never's about your speed.
Ray Ferrier : Ok, enough of the "Ray" shit! It"s "Dad," or "Sir!" Or if you want, "Mr. Ferrier."... That sounds a little weird to me but you decide.
-
Ray Ferrier : Look at the goddamned birds!
