Haynes Quotes in Twister (1996)

Joey: [Discussing at Meg's on the tornadoes they have seen so far at Meg's home at her dining table, eating steak and eggs] No, that was a good size twister. What was it, an F3?

Bill: Solid F2.

Melissa: See, now you have lost me again.

Bill: It's the Fujita scale. It measures a tornado's intensity by how much it eats.

Melissa: Eats?

Bill: Destroys.

Laurence: That one we encountered back there was a strong F2, possibly an F3.

Beltzer: Maybe we'll see some 4's.

Haynes: That would be sweet!

Bill: 4 is good. 4 will relocate your house very efficiently.

Melissa: Is there an F5?

[Everyone goes dead silent]

Melissa: What would that be like?

Jason 'Preacher' Rowe: The Finger of God.

Melissa: None of you has ever seen an F5?

Bill: ...Just one of us.

[Looks upstairs, indicating Jo]

Haynes: [listening to Bill and Jo argue on the CB] I think they're getting better at this.

Joey: [Computer beeps] We've got a touchdown!

Laurence: [On radio] We have touchdown! Touchdown! Tornado is on the ground!

Haynes: [Hands radio to Beltzer] Listen to this!

Laurence: Looks like it's heading down Route 33.

Bill: Jo, we're on 33.

Jo: What's the path?

Laurence: Looks like it's going about 35 mph.

Rabbit: [Looking around] Can you see this?

Allan Sanders: I can not see this. Where is it? Hello? Which way you guys looking?

Bill: Where, where, where...

Jo: Direction, Rabbit.

Rabbit: North northeast!

Beltzer: Do you see it?

Haynes: No.

Rabbit: North northeast, you copy?

Bill: Shit, it's coming right at us!

Laurence: Axis has gone vertical, gone vertical. Sucker's really gaining up strength.

Jo: You see it?

Bill: No...

[Takes radio]

Bill: Beltzer! We do not have a visual. Repeat, we do not have a visual. Help us out here!

Jo: Where is it?

Beltzer: Yeah, I got it Billy. Best motion I've ever seen. Looks like the base of this sucker's at least a half mile wide.

Bill: Rabbit?

Rabbit: If you are going east on 7, it should be coming right over that hill in a matter of minutes!

Allan Sanders: This is the one man, I feel it.

Haynes: [to Steve] I expect you realize I'm pretty much the law around here. I can make things easier for you, or I can break you. It's up to you.
