Roark: St. Louis! I'm from St. Louis.
Emmet: [into phone] He's not in St. Louis anymore, sir.

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!

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.

[Roark ordered 200 Jersey barriers to redirect the lava.]
Roark: Where's the rest of 'em?
Truck driver: What "rest of 'em?" This is it!
Lt. Fox: Hey, there only seems to be eighty here!
Truck driver: Eighty-two; everything else is stuck on the 5 and the 10.
Lt. Fox: We're trying to keep the city in one piece, pinhead. Eighty rails ain't gonna do it!
Truck driver: So what are you blaming me for?
Lt. Fox: Convenience, all right!?!?
-
[His phone rings]
Roark: That'll be my little girl wanting a tattoo.
