Justine : 678. The bean lottery. Nobody guessed the amount of beans in the bottle.
Claire : No, that's right.
Justine : But I know. 678.
Claire : Well, perhaps. But what does that prove?

John : I would like to raise a toast. To life.
Claire : To life? What do you mean, to life? You said it was going to be okay.
John : Well, there was no sense in alarming everybody.
Claire : So, you're saying that our lives were in danger?
John : No, I was saying - No. I was saying that when dealing with science and calculations of this magnitude, you have to account for a margin of error. That's all - that's all I'm saying.
