Quotes:

  • Amy: Sometimes this can form a fissure and magma can find its way up to the surface.
    Roark: Magma?
    Rachel: Lava.
    Roark: There a history of this happening in the downtown area?
    Amy: Well, to---
    Rachel: Paricutin.
    Roark: What?
    Rachel: Mexico, 1943. Farmer notices smoke coming from the middle of his cornfield. A month later there's a volcano over a thousand feet high. There's no history of anything until it happens. Then there is.
     
  • [Museum personnel are moving paintings from a threatened museum.]
    1st. Guard: Man, this Hieronymus Bosch stuff is heavy!
    2nd. Guard: That's because it deals with man's inclination towards sin, and defiance of God's will.
    1st. Guard: That's not what kind of heavy I was talking about.
     
  • Roark: We're going to put as many people in front of it as it takes. Listen up, people! Let me tell you what's south of us: no more department stores, no more museums, just homes! People! If we turn and run, they're going to be defenseless! You don't like my plan? That's good. Give me a better one, but don't tell me we're backing out!
     
  • [His phone rings]
    Roark: That'll be my little girl wanting a tattoo.
     
  • Emmet: The Chief says you're not in Kansas anymore.
    Roark: St. Louis! I'm from St. Louis.
    Emmet: [into phone] He's not in St. Louis anymore, sir.
     

Trivia:

  • The lava was primarily made of methylcellulose, the thickening agent used in fast-food milkshakes.
     
  • The ash was made mostly of ground newspaper.
