Charlie Frost Quotes in 2012 (2009)

Charlie Frost: You'd have to keep a thing like this underwraps. I mean, just think about it, okay? First, the stock market would go. Then the economy, boom! The dollar, boom! And then pandemonium in the streets. War, genocide, ba-ba-ba-ba, boom, boom, boom!

Jackson Curtis: [notices one of them] Whoa, whoa, whoa! That's Professor Meyers.

Charlie Frost: Well, that must have been before this "accident."

Jackson Curtis: Meyers is dead?

Charlie Frost: [on radio] Folks, did you hear that? The authorities in L.A. say there's nothing to worry about. I'd love to see their dumb faces when Malibu and Beverly Hills get sucked into the gurgling maw of the Pacific. Where are they going to plug in their electric cars then? Ha, ha, ha.

Charlie Frost: [as he witnesses the Caldera erupt] I have goosebumps, people.

Charlie Frost: [Repeated line] Always remember, folks. You heard it first from Charlie.

Jackson Curtis: I was listening to the broadcast and I was wondering what is exactly that's gonna start in Hollywood?

Charlie Frost: It's the apocalypse. End of days. The Judgment Day, the end of the world, my friend. Christians called it the rapture, but the Mayans knew about it, the Hopis, the I Ching, the Bible, kind of...

Charlie Frost: Hey. Hey, guess what? They're selling seats.

Jackson Curtis: Put me down for three.

Charlie Frost: No, guys like you and me don't have a chance. You'd have to be Bill Gates or Rupert Murdoch or some Russian billionaire or something.

Charlie Frost: Get them out of Yellowstone. It's gonna get ugly up here.
