President Orlean : Call it 70% and let's just move on.
Kate Dibiasky : But it's not even close to 70%.
President Orlean : You cannot go around saying to people that there's 100% chance that they're going to die. You know? It's just nuts.

Dr. Teddy Oglethorpe : One time, I met Sting, and I swear to God, he farted right in front of me. Didn't break eye contact and didn't even say "excuse me." And the thing is, he actually pulled it off. 'Cause I still found him to be quite charming.
