Laura Chapman Quotes in The Day After Tomorrow (2004)

Laura Chapman: I've got one. Your favorite vacation?

Sam Hall: Besides this one?

Laura Chapman: I'm fine... s'can't sleep... My mind keeps going over all those worthless Decathlon facts.

Sam Hall: Mm.

Laura Chapman: 'S pretty stupid, huh?

Sam Hall: No, it's alright. I guess you just haven't had time to adjust yet.

Laura Chapman: How'm I supposed to adjust, Sam? Everything I've ever cared about, everything I've worked for... has all been preparation for a future that no longer exists. I know you always thought I took the competition too seriously... you were right. It was all for nothing.

Sam Hall: No, no... No I just, I just said that to avoid admitting the truth.

Laura Chapman: The truth about what?

Sam Hall: ...About w-why I joined the team... I joined it because of you.

Laura Chapman: [on the plane, Sam is scarfing down peanuts] You alright?

Sam Hall: Hmm?

Brian Parks: He's afraid of flying.

Sam Hall: I'm fine.

Brian Parks: [the plane rattles due to turbulence] You know, statistically, the chance of a plane going down because of turbulence is less than what, one in a billion? Or is it a million? I can't remember if it's...

Laura Chapman: Shut up, Brian.

Sam Hall: [after nearly drowning in freezing water that's flooded an underground tunnel] My hands are shak... shaking.

Laura Chapman: That's okay. Here. Here. Come here.

[Laura embraces Sam]

Sam Hall: What are you doing?

Laura Chapman: I'm using my body heat to warm you. If we let the blood from your arms and legs rush back to your heart too quickly, your heart could fail.

Sam Hall: Where did you learn that?

Laura Chapman: Some of us were actually paying attention in health class.

Laura Chapman: Everything I've ever cared about, everything I've worked for... has all been preparation for a future that no longer exists. I know you always thought I took the competition too seriously. You were right. It was all for nothing.

Sam Hall: No, no... No I just, I just said that to avoid admitting the truth.

Laura Chapman: The truth about what?

Sam Hall: About why I joined the team.

[Laura stares at him]

Sam Hall: I joined it because of you.

[Laura smiles and Sam looks away]

Laura Chapman: Hey.

[they kiss]

Laura Chapman: [to Sam] Sam, can I have my hand back?

Laura Chapman: She left her bag in the cab. Her passports. I'll get it for her.

Sam Hall: Laura! Laura!

Brian Parks: Sam!

J.D.: No! Brian, no!

Sam Hall: Laura! Laura, look! Come on! Come! Come on!
