Geostorm Movie Quotes
Jake Lawson
[on Dutch Boy]
This was my life's work, Max. You know, they said it was impossible, but we pulled it off. And it worked perfectly, without fail, day after day, year after year, so what do people do with it? Turn it into a gun.

[narrating]
Everyone was warned, but no one listened. A rise in temperature, ocean patterns changed and ice caps melted. They call it extreme weather. They didn't know what "extreme" was. In the year 2019, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and droughts unleashed a wave of destruction upon our planet. We didn't just lose towns or beachfronts. We lost entire cities. The East River swallowed Lower Manhattan. A heat wave in Madrid killed two million people in just one day. But in that moment, facing our own extinction, it became clear that no single nation could solve this problem alone. The world came together as one, and we fought back. Scientists from 17 countries, lead by the U.S. and China, worked tirelessly. Not as representative of their nations, but of humanity. They found a way to neutralize storms with a net of thousands of satellites each deploying countermeasures designed to impact the basic elements of weather, heat, pressure and water, all overseen by the International Space Station. They gave the satellite net a technical name, but we all came to call it Dutch Boy after the story of a child who plugged a dam with his finger. This is what saved us all. And it was built by a team led by one man... my father.

Leonard Dekkom
What the hell is Dutch Boy if not playing God? Ask Max. Science is all about playing God. Sometimes God doesn't play so nice.
Max Lawson
You know what my brother would say?
Leonard Dekkom
What?

How the hell did you...
President Andrew Palma
How? Because I'm the goddamn President of the United States of America. You're done, Leonard.

Leonard Dekkom
I've given you an opportunity, Mr. President. You should take it.
President Andrew Palma
An opportunity? It's genocide, Leonard!
Leonard Dekkom
You say genocide, I say preemptive strike.
President Andrew Palma
You've lost your mind!
Leonard Dekkom
Tomorrow the sun will rise. All our enemies will be gone. Wiped away as if by the hand of God.
President Andrew Palma
Why would you do this?
Leonard Dekkom
Because no one else would. I'm turning the clock back to 1945, when America was a shiny city on a hill, not just a bank disguised as a country.

You remember that day Dad took us fishing? He dropped his cell phone in Key Biscayne.
Max Lawson
Our dad never took us fishing.
Dana
Oh. That's sad. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not any good at the, like, "talk about your daddy issues" kind of friend thing. I just...
Max Lawson
What? No, no, no... It's a code.

Duncan Taylor
Well, you know well what us lowly scientists get paid. Take that a thousand times.
Jake Lawson
What difference is it gonna make? If you don't stop, there's not gonna be a planet to spend it on.
Duncan Taylor
Please. We're gonna keep all the best bits. Aren't you a little bit curious to watch the world burn?
Jake Lawson
No. 'Cause millions of people are gonna die. And one of them's my daughter.

Let me introduce to your team.
Duncan Taylor
Oh, of course, an American.
Jake Lawson
Actually, my brother and I were born in in the UK, but thank you.
Duncan Taylor
Yeah, but you've got the old Stars and Stripes on your arm there and a cowboy look in your eye. Oh, no offense.

You can't undo the past. All you can do is face what's ahead. NASA maintained the satellites while we rebuilt the space station. We made it safer, made it stronger. It belongs to all of us now. One planet, one people. As long as we remember that we share one future, we will survive.

Max Lawson
All right, Dekkom is trying to change the map of the world.
President Andrew Palma
And what? Blame it on a computer glitch?
Max Lawson
Yeah, well, that and a dead president. He'll take office after wiping out everyone in the life of succession.

Sarah Wilson
Assistant Secretary Lawson, I'm not permitted to engage in casual conversation while I'm at a post. We are being watched. We're always being watched.
Max Lawson
Well, if we're always being watched, then what's the point of hiding anything?
Sarah Wilson
You're interfering with my duties. I'd rather not shoot you.
Max Lawson
Well, it would be an honor to be the first person that you kill.

Are you going back up to space?
Jake Lawson
No.

Yes, you are! You're leaving today to fix Dutch Boy.
Jake Lawson
What did I tell you about eavesdropping?
Hannah Lawson
You never told me anything about eavesdropping. You don't really do much parenting.
