- The world will be destroyed, but a few people will be saved?

- The world, our world, will come to an end on August 12th, in slightly more than eight months. There is no margin for error in that, sir.

- But we believe that the planet Zyra once contained living matter. We believe, and this is theory, not certainty, that some form of vegetation may still exist on Zyra.

- No, sir. But we are hoping that, with God's help and guidance, a few people may do exactly that.

- A 20th-century Noah's ark, huh?

Top rated lines from this movie

Time is all that counts. The money doesn't matter at all.
Aren't you fellows ever positive? -Only about doomsday.
Astronomy is a very exact science. -Maybe so, but when they start telling me doomsday is just around the corner, we part company.
At 1:00 on July 24th, Zyra, a new planet, will pass so close to the Earth, it will cause vast destruction. There is no doubt about the coming of Zyra. Remember, there is no doubt.
The silence, an eerie foretelling of the destruction to come at 1:00, the hour of doom.
