Morley, you're wrong! This isn't peace! This is a resting place for the living dead! I don't believe it's the end of the world! I don't believe it's the end of mankind!
Dr. Jeremiah Morley:
You're young! You don't know! I've lived through the terrors of two great wars! I've had enough!

How little you know about women!

You'd be surprised.
