The Day After Tomorrow Page #2

---

I got every question right

on the final.

The only reason Mr. Spengler

failed me was 'cause I didn't

write out the solutions.

Why not?

- I do 'em in my head.

- Did you tell him that?

I did.

He didn't believe me.

He said that if he can't

do them in his head,

then I must be cheating.

Well, that's ridiculous!

How could he fail you

for being smarter than he is?

That's what I said.

You did?

- How'd he take it?

- He flunked me, remember?

Oh. Yeah.

Sam, I'm sorry.

I jumped to conclusions.

I'm gonna call this guy,

have a word with him.

We're gonna get

this whole thing

straightened out.

Don't worry about it.

Sam!

Sam!

[ Man ]

Parker, this is Houston.

We're seeing

some bad weather

over Canaveral.

Doesn't look like

you're coming back

this week.

[ Chuckles ]

Your wife's gonna

give me an earful.

[ Chuckles ]

Roger that.

[ Man #2 ]

Hey, come take a look

at this storm system.

It's enormous.

[ Thunder Rumbling ]

[ Thunderclap ]

You all right?

He's afraid of flying.

I'm fine.

[ P.A. Dings ]

You know, statistically,

the chance of a plane going down

because of turbulence is less

than, what? One in a billion?

Or is it a million?

I can't remember

if it's a million--

Shut up, Brian.

Listen, Sam.

Don't pay attention

to him, okay?

Everything's fine.

They're still

serving drinks.

[ P.A. Dings ]

[ Man ]

Folks, it appears we're gonna...

have a little bit

of a bumpy ride here

for the next few minutes.

Please fasten your seat belts

and put your tray tables

and seat backs...

in their upright positions

until we get through this.

Thank you.

- Whoa!

- Grab it! Grab it!

[ Woman ]

Watch out!

[ Hyperventilating ]

[ People Shouting ]

[ Engines Whining ]

[ Engines Slow ]

[ Girl ]

Sam?

- Sam.

- Hmm?

Can I have

my hand back?

I can't believe

I'm spending two weeks

alone with my mum.

Be patient with her, all right?

She's been looking forward

to this holiday for months.

I know.

[ Both Chuckle ]

I love you.

I love you too.

Hey. Hey, hello.

Bye-bye.

[ Man ] The cause

of this extreme weather

remains a mystery,

although some meteorologists

believe sunspots are to blame.

This is very odd.

There's a buoy here

registering a 13 degree drop

in ocean temperature.

Oh, yeah. That's right.

That buoy malfunctioned

the other day.

I'll put a call in,

see if there are any ships

near Georges Bank to get it.

This buoy isn't

in Georges Bank.

It's just off Greenland.

[ Man ]

What?

What are the odds

of two buoys failing?

Remote.

Make that three.

[ Horns Honking ]

[ Man ]

Just another typical day

in New York City.

Traffic jam 10 blocks long.

Looky here, Buddha.

These people and their cars

and their exhaust.

They're just pollutin'

the atmosphere!

Excuse me, sir.

We're really late.

We're almost there.

We're only two blocks away.

Let's walk.

[ Barking ]

[ Birds Calling ]

[ Barking ]

- [ Roaring ]

- What's got into them?

[ Animals Howling, Calling ]

I have no idea.

They're all worked up today.

[ Howling ]

In 1532, Spanish Conquistador

Francisco Pizarro...

defeated this Incan Emperor

at the Peruvian highland town

of Cajamarca.

What is his name? Time.

Montezuma.

No, no.

Montezuma was in Mexico,

not Peru.

It's like

Anta something.

- Atahuallpa?

- That's it!

- [ Buzzer Sounds ]

Time's up.

Correct answers, please?

That's five points

for Woodmont...

[ Crowd Cheering ]

and five points

for Pinehurst Academy.

Next question.

In what year

did Louis Quatorze...

ascend to the throne

of France?

** [ Pop ]

* Do you really want to

hurt me *

This place is so retro.

It might actually be cool

if it were on purpose.

Hmm.

And look at

all these nerds.

Hey!

Hey.

You look beautiful.

Thanks.

This place is incredible.

Do you believe

that this is

their cafeteria?

You played

a great first round.

So did you.

These are my teammates,

Sam and Brian.

I'm Laura.

I'm J.D.

- Your school is amazing.

- Would you like--

Would you like a tour?

Sure. That'd be great.

Could you hold this

for a sec?

Yeah. Sure.

Thanks.

* Do you really want

to make me cry **

Man, you got

some serious competition.

[ Sam ]

Please.

I'll bet

he's really rich, too.

Shut up.

[ Phone Ringing ]

Who is it?

Terry Rapson here. Sorry

to call you so early.

No, Professor.

That's all right.

What is it?

Well, we've found

something extraordinary--

extraordinary

and disturbing,

that is.

You recall what you said

in New Delhi...

about how

polar melting might disrupt

the North Atlantic current?

Yes.

Well,

I think it's happening.

What do you mean?

One of our

NOMAD buoys...

registered a 13 degree drop

in surface temperature

the other day.

I sent you

an e-mail.

Hold on.

At first we thought

it was a malfunction,

but there are four more

across the North Atlantic

showing the same thing.

[ Jack ]

This is unbelievable.

You predicted

it would happen.

Yes, but not

in our lifetime.

This is too fast.

There are no forecast models

remotely capable

of plotting this scenario,

except yours.

My model is a reconstruction

of a prehistoric climate shift.

It's not a forecast model.

It's the closest thing

we have.

Nothing like this

has every happened before.

At least not in

the last 10,000 years.

As I predicted yesterday,

the swell off Hurricane

Noelani is incredible.

These waves are even

bigger than I imagined.

Just take a look.

[ Ringing ]

Shouldn't you be monitoring

the weather or something?

This is L.A.

What weather?

[ Motor Running, Faint ]

Wait.

What's that noise?

What noise?

[ Motor Running, Louder ]

[ Motor Stops ]

[ Phone Ringing ]

[ Sighs ]

Honey, I'll be

right back.

[ Woman ]

The coast guard has

closed the beaches...

as waves have been too big

for even the most experienced

of surfers.

L.A. Weather Center.

It's Tommy!

I'm down at the beach!

I'm in the middle

of something.

What do you need?

There-- Ooh! Uh.

There's-- There's hail

the size of golf balls

coming down here!

[ Tommy Continues, Indistinct ]

[ Man ] Low pressure system

moving along...

the California coastline

is creating a cyclonic system

across the L.A. basin.

[ Phone Ringing ]

Yeah. Hello.

Hey, boss, turn on

the Weather Channel.

I think we have to issue

a tornado warning.

What are

you talking about?

[ Woman ]

Palmdale and Lancaster

are reporting...

wind speeds in excess

of 70 miles per hour,

Hold on a second.

conditions that are

highly unusual for California.

Tom, we're building

a forecast model.

We're gonna need what?

Priority access

to the mainframe

for two days, maybe three.

Oh, is that it?

Anything else?

We need it immediately.

I would say that

you've lost your mind,

but you've been this way

for the past 20 years.

Tom,

this is important.

What is this forecast model

you're building,

if you don't mind my asking?
