• Jed Chandler : Whether you like it or not, you're Noah. And that ship is your ark.

• Jed Chandler : Gonna be puttering around all day?

  CO CDR Tom Chandler : Just getting the place in order.

  Jed Chandler : Well, I thought you might just be, uh, procrastinating 'cause you don't know how to go back the ship and tell that crew of yours that you're quitting. Do you not realize that they... that they can't do it without you? What kind of message are you gonna send to them, that you're, uh, George Washington and you've come back to work on your farm? You think because you got a... a lab in Baltimore and six planes with the cure that everything's in hand? The world is in chaos. There's a lot more to do.

  CO CDR Tom Chandler : And that crew is trained to do it, with or without me.

  Jed Chandler : They need you!

  CO CDR Tom Chandler : [pointing towards the house]  And they don't? And what if I don't come back? I'm gonna make my kids orphans?

  Jed Chandler : You think you're the first soldier that had trouble leaving their family behind? Huh? During World War II, English naval captains put their wives and children in bunkers in London and went back out to sea to fight the Nazis for years.

  CO CDR Tom Chandler : Wives and children, dad. The wives were there.

  Jed Chandler : I know you, and I know you're beating yourself up, but if you're looking for someone to blame, blame me. I should have never let her go to that town. So cut the shit and quit laying this guilt trip on yourself.
