Donald Sinclair Quotes in Rat Race (2001)

[Donald Sinclair welcomes all the people who are invited to compete in the "race."]

Donald Sinclair: Excuse me. Thank you all for coming. I'm Donald Sinclair, I own this hotel. We don't have much time. There's a meteor the size of North Carolina heading straight for Earth. The impact is going to kill every thing and everyone on this planet. I built a bunker in the basement to this casino strong enough to withstand the blast. There's room enough for eight people. I have chosen the seven of you, plus me. When this is over, it'll be up to us to repopulate and re-civilize the planet.

[Everyone looks shocked for about 5 seconds, before Sinclair begins laughing hysterically]

Donald Sinclair: I couldn't resist! I'm sorry.

[after Sinclair has told them repeatedly to "go", to no avail]
