Quantum Apocalypse Page #3

---

- You have a name for it?

- Yeah.

Nothing.

Down since yesterday.

I don't think so.

If your cell phone doesn't work,

you can use mine.

Thanks, sweetie.

Where's Terry?

- He's been out there all morning.

- What time?

He was out there when I got up.

We're taking the kids to school.

We'll see you tonight.

- There's Hot Pockets for dinner.

- Bye, Pumpkin.

- We made some progress.

- It's not progress.

We just have an idea of what's

to come. You better prepare.

Go ahead.

The anomaly is

a gravitational vacuum.

- A black hole?

- No, that's omnidirectional.

- This has a focal point.

- Think of a flashlight.

Instead of emitting light

it sucks everything in.

- We do mean everything.

- Everything.

- Matter... anti-matter...

- Light, gravity, time.

Hold on. Time?

It sucks time?

Time is one of

the 11 dimensions.

It'd take us hours to explain.

Time is a quantifiable object...

- like space.

- Matter.

- And gravity. You go.

- It will impact Earth...

- in 48 hours.

- And thats it.

When it hits us,

it's zero time.

We are gone. We are

going down to crunch town.

We'll be done before that.

For humanity anyway.

Soon it'll exert gravitational

pull on the moon and the planet.

It will affect weather patterns.

The water cycle will be slowed up.

A water canopy may be created.

Thick atmosphere keeping moisture...

- closer to the planet surface.

- We've depleted the ozone enough...

that it's not gonna be

catastrophic, but it's gonna be...

- be rough.

- It's gonna be rough.

Gravity will be affected and

things will grow lighter.

As it nears the perihelion,

it's gonna create a large vacuum.

On the 1st pass it's gonna 2

maybe 3 kilometers deep.

It will reach its perihelion and

impact the Far East first.

- Somewhere between...

- Australia.

- And Japan.

- Depending on the time...

- and the exact point.

- As the Earth rotates it's gonna...

rotate right into the vacuum.

Even if we survive the first days...

come day three, the entire

planet will be consumed.

- How good is this assessment?

- This is the real deal, sir.

I'll call the president.

Think. All of you.

Any chance of stopping this thing?

That's what we try to do.

But it doesn't look good.

You wanna do me a favor and take

it a little easy on your mom?

She's my step mom, OK?

And she can take it easy on me.

It'd be nice if you call her

mom now and then.

That's never gonna happen.

She's not my mom.

- Can I borrow a hundred bucks?

- It's not gonna happen.

She's not my mom. Can I borrow

a hundred bucks? What the hell?

Remember the girl you saw yesterday

at the school, Lindsey?

The clouds part, all becomes clear.

Yeah, I remember Lindsey.

I want to take her to dinner

this weekend.

- Take her to the Fleur-de-Lis.

- Fleur-de-Lis?

Why not just fly her to Paris?

You don't need to take her there.

- I'll pay you back.

- With what? You don't have a job.

This summer I'm gonna work.

- Wait! Stop the car.

- What?

- Dad, just stop the car.

- All right. What?

What's that? You see that?

- Have you ever seen that?

- No. Never.

- Hey, Roz.

- Another day of weirdness?

- Very strange. Any calls?

- The governor called first thing.

- Wants you to call him back.

- Okay, thanks.

Back from the dead.

Stanley. I'm sure you've come to

the same conclusion that we have.

We must detonate our

nuclear assets at the poles...

to reshape the planets axis.

This is our only solution.

- This Russian plan is a bad idea.

- Agreed.

Long lasting effects on the planet

would be catastrophic.

Launching the world's nuclear

arsenal at the N. Pole to knock...

the planet off a few degrees

sounds genius to me.

- It'll never work. No dice.

- Really? Never?

Man, no dice, you guys.

No game, no guts, no game off.

- Who is this kook?

- You cannot smoke in here.

Didn't you get the email?

The world's about to end.

Dr. Medev was Russian cosmologist.

Yuri Zelnikov I think his name is.

- He's still alive?

- He's such a hack.

- You know him?

- Everybody knows that Soviet dude.

We need to tell our people

not to go with this plan.

Rebound! That ball! Jump!

Get it! Get it! That ball!

Jump! Get it! Rebound!

That ball!

Jump! Jump! Get it! Get it!

Rebound! That ball!

- Whoo!

- Hey.

Good practice today.

See you Thursday?

- Of course!

- Bye Lindsey.

Jump! Jump! Get it!

Get it! Rebound! That ball!

Stop. I hate practicing indoors.

It's so hot in here.

- What's going on with the weather?

- I thought you had all the answers.

- Are you getting sassy with me?

- Maybe.

- What was that?

- So weird. Think it's a hurricane?

- I didn't see that on the news.

- Didn't see any news. No TV.

- That's true. Good point.

- It's a very good point.

- Can I talk to you for a second?

- She's already talking to me.

- But thanks for interrupting.

- I wasn't talking to you.

- Stop it, okay?

- Really.

There's nothing to talk about.

I deleted your Facebook messages.

It's over, so just forget

about it and move on.

- It's not that simple.

- Yeah, it is!

- Hey Terry. Where's Ben?

- I need 6 distributor caps.

I need 24 spark plugs.

I need 2 truck batteries.

- Phone call, line 2.

- Governor?

- No. Earl over at the auto shop.

- Okay. Hey Earl!

Your brother Terry's here.

He's buying a bunch of stuff.

- Shall I put it on your account?

- Well, what's he buying?

- Spark plugs and distributor caps.

- The governor's on the phone.

I gotta take this.

Let him take whatever he wants.

All right.

Hello, Richard, how you doing?

Okay, I'm sitting down.

We worked out calculations and

the anomaly may be dark matter.

We need the missiles to create a

chain reaction to stop this thing.

The Russians and the Chinese are

putting their plan in motion.

They want the US to come on board.

They say their plan can work.

They have always been

We can't use our missiles.

We may need them later.

- For what?

- We're working on a...

counter offensive

for when the thing comes close.

I'll inform the president.

We'll save them.

I'll try to convince the Russians

and the Chinese that were not...

taking any strategic advantage

by withholding our arsenal.

- Where's your car?

- I didn't drive today.

- Want a ride?

- My dad will pick me up.

You could call him and tell him

you've found a ride...

- but the phone lines are down.

- He'd be worried if I wasn't here.

- Isn't that cute?

- Shut up.

You better don't ride in my car.

The inside smells like mildew.

- So I'll see you?

- Okay.

- Okay. Bye.

- All right. Bye.

- Your dad could give me a ride?

- Can I kiss you?

I mean I'll give you a ride.

While were waiting we could...

Yeah, really like.

- Bet I could still pick you up.

- Yeah?

I'm not that strong.

Quick, get in.

- Can we give Lindsey a ride?

- Sure, let's go.

- Is everything all right?

- We'll talk about it.

- Did something happen to Terry?

- No.

- Nice to meet you, Mr. Marshall.

- Sorry, there's a lot going on.

- What was that?
