      Library Security Guard: [as Brian works on a radio] Maybe you should have somebody help with that, you know?

      Brian Parks: Sir, I am president of the Electronics Club, the Math Club, and the Chess Club. Now, if there's a bigger nerd in here, please... point him out.

      Library Security Guard: ...I'll just leave you alone to work on it, then.

    Definitely not scientifically accurate but I love it anyway

    Honestly I love this movie. No matter what I'm doing if I see this on tv I go ahead and grab a drink and put my feet up. Don't watch this expecting realism. Just watch it for what it is - a disaster movie that suspends reality and science to reunite a father and his son during the storm of the ages.
