Sam Hall Quotes in The Day After Tomorrow (2004)

Jack Hall: [on Sam failing calculus] I'm not angry. I'm disappointed.

Sam Hall: Do you wanna hear my side of it?

Jack Hall: Sam, how can there be two sides?

Sam Hall: Hey, look, I got every question right on the final and the only reason why Mr. Spengler failed me was because I didn't write out the solutions.

Jack Hall: Why not?

Sam Hall: I do them in my head.

Jack Hall: Did you tell him that?

Sam Hall: I did. He didn't believe me. He said if he couldn't do them in his head then I must be cheating.

Jack Hall: Well, that's ridiculous! How can he fail you for being smarter than he is?

Sam Hall: That's what I said.

Jack Hall: [smirks] You did? How'd he take it?

Sam Hall: He flunked me, remember?

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.

J.D.: [showing the other students the museum] I couldn't let you guys leave New York without seeing the Natural History Museum.

Sam Hall: I know I did.

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.

Jack Hall: [on the phone] Are you sure you can't get home any sooner than tomorrow?

Sam Hall: [on the phone] Well, look, Dad, I would if I could, you know. It's just... This smell is unbearable Dad.

Jack Hall: [on the phone] Stop kidding around! I want you home.

Sam Hall: [on the phone] Dad, I'll be on the train. Do me a favor, okay. Just don't worry about me. I'll figure it out.

Sam Hall: [to Brian] Let's go! Pull, Brian! Take the medicine to Laura. Come on! We're almost there. Come on. Brian, close the door!

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: 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!

Brian Parks: Man you've got some serious competition.

Sam Hall: Please.

Brian Parks: And I'll bet he's really rich too.

Sam Hall: Shut up.

Sam Hall: [to Brian] So much for one in a billion.

J.D.: Sam, just tell her how you feel.

Sam Hall: Yeah.

Sam Hall: [refusing blindfold prior to hanging] "The Sun's setting for me. It'd be a shame to miss it."

Sam Hall: You annoy me, sheriff. When I leave your hotel I'm gonna squash you like I'd squash a bug.
