The End of America and Humanity
Charlie Frost
This marks the last day of the United States of America. And, by tomorrow, all of mankind. And we will be visible from the Milky Way as a tiny little puff of smoke. I'm watching the earth crumble before my eyes. The giant ash cloud created by this super-volcano will first envelop Vegas and then St. Louis and then Chicago and then, at long last, Washington, D.C. will have its lights go out! I have goosebumps, people! I wish you could see what I'm seeing, people! I WISH YOU COULD BE HERE WITH ME! OH, BABY... BRING IT ON!! ALWAYS REMEMBER FOLKS: YOU HEARD IT FIRST FROM CHARLIE!!!!

Adrian Helmsley
That thing in Paris, we're not involved in any of that, are we?
Anheuser
We"? Who's "we", what are you talking about? What we need to do is focus on the timeline.
Helmsley
So when do we let the country know?
Anheuser
What?
Helmsley
The people, sir. They need to know.
Anheuser
Well, of course they do. Listen, your job is to figure out when this is all gonna fall apart, my mission is to figure out how to retain some semblance of government after it falls apart, and until then, we don't have time for anything except for doing those jobs, okay? Now, you call me the moment you get any news from Yellowstone.

Yes, sir.

The Challenge of Human Civilization
Adrian Helmsley
Ladies and gentlemen, this is Dr. Adrian Helmsley, chief science adviser to the late President Wilson.
German Chancellor
Could you please turn up the volume, Mr. Hoffmann?
Helmsley
I know we've all been forced to make difficult decisions to save our human civilization, but to be human means to care for each other and civilization means to work together to create a better life. If that's true, then there's nothing human and nothing civilized about what we're doing here.
Carl Anheuser
Dr. Helmsley's passion is admirable, but I will remind you that we have very limited resources and extremely limited time.
Helmsley
Ask yourselves, can we really stand by and watch these people die? I read a quote two days ago. The author is probably dead by now, but he said: "The moment we stop fighting for each other, that's the moment that we lose our humanity.

Anheuser
And in order to save the human race, we have an obligation to stick to this plan, which every nation on this flotilla has signed up for.
Helmsley
We have to let these people in-
Anheuser
They're in God's hands now! Officer, you turn that off. That is an order, sailor! TURN IT OFF!

Anheuser
Have you completely lost your mind?! LOOK AT THE CLOCK! WE HAVE BARELY 15 MINUTES LEFT! Do you wanna be responsible for the extinction of the human race? Can you handle that, Adrian?
[points to countdown]
Helmsley
There's a young astrophysicist from India who's the reason we're all here.
Anheuser
Oh, for God's sake.
Helmsley
He's the one who discovered it all. He connected all the dots. We all owe him our lives. I just learned that he was killed with his family in a tsunami in eastern India. He was my friend, and he died in vain. Everybody out there has died in vain if we start our future with an act of cruelty. What would you tell your children? What will they tell theirs?

Russian President

This is the captain. In a few moments, we will open the gates and get you people in. Please step back and clear the platform.

Facing Catastrophe Together as One Family
US President Thomas Wilson
My fellow Americans. This will be the last time I will address you. As you know, catastrophe has struck our nation, has struck the world. I wish I could tell you we could prevent the coming destruction. We cannot. Today, none of us are strangers. Today, we are one family, stepping into the darkness together. We are a nation of many religions, but I believe these words reflect the spirit of all our faiths. "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall -
