Desperation in the Face of Danger
Elaine
Jarrod, what are you doing?
Jarrod
The only thing we can do. Making a run for it!

What's this really about?

Those things are coming for us!
Oliver
You think I haven't noticed that? You think I haven't noticed that mess under your shirt? The plan is we stay here and hold up... for good!
Elaine
I agree!
Jarrod
You're going to let him decide everything? Look around you! We have no power. No more running water.
Elaine
Yeah, but you saw what is out there! We will not get 100 yards from this building!
Jarrod
Yeah, and I would rather take a stupid chance out there trying to make a run for it then staying up here in a 20-story target! Between those things and the radiation, we are dead up here!

Discussion of Plans at the Marina
Oliver
All right, I'll bite. What's your plan now, boss man? Because I'm dying for you to tell me. What? Nothing to say?
[to Jarrod; pause]
Jarrod
We're sitting on the marina for Christ's sake!

I've noticed it.

They're hundreds of boats at the docks...
Candice
We've been through all this!
Oliver
Remind us how that worked out last time.
Jarrod
Well... uh... we... we'll go quietly this time. We wait until... uh... it gets a little quiet then we'll go down the back stairs and uh...
[trying to think]
Oliver
We tiptoe to the marina... on foot in broad daylight with little cover and just search every boat until we find the right one with the key? Great plan!
Elaine
I can't believe you're even suggesting this after what happened!
[to Jarrod]
Jarrod
What are you saying? What... are you saying that Terry's death was my fault? Are you blaming me for what happened?
Elaine
I was practically begging you not to go, but you and Terry wouldn't listen to me!
Jarrod
And if I had, do you really think Terry would have listened to me? Huh?

Desperate Choices Amidst Uncertainty
Candice
Where are they going?
Jarrod
Those choppers are coming back for them. We have to go up to the roof and get rescued. We're gonna get out of here.
Elaine
What if they don't come back? Look what happened to all those planes! What good is it trying to get away in a helicopter? We'll never make it with those things in the air!
Jarrod
I don't care! We need to take a chance!
Oliver
A chance? They just nuked a city! And you want to wave hello?
Jarrod
I'm not kidding anymore, Oliver. You need to back off!
Oliver
You're in no condition to decide anything and who knows what side you're on? If you go out there and try to run those things will see you and you'll be dead!
Jarrod
I told you to back off! Don't make me hurt you!
