The Happening Quotes

 Nursery Owner:
This woman's talking to her daughter. She's talking to her daughter in Princeton. Isn't that where your friend went?
Elliot Moore:
Come on! [they run over to the woman]
Woman on Cell Phone:
[speaking to her daughter at Princeton] It's OK, honey, honey, it's OK. [to the fellow survivors]
Woman on Cell Phone:
She's so scared... You just stay in that room, you don't open the door for nothing. Just keep watching out the window with the tree, baby, someone will come and get you soon.
Elliot Moore:
Tell her, tell her not to go near the window with the tree, just tell her!
Woman on Cell Phone:
Baby, don't go near the window with the tree!
Elliot Moore:
Ask her if Princeton's been affected.
Woman on Cell Phone:
Honey, someone wants to know if Princeton's had any problems... she says everyone's dead outside. [they all gasp]
Woman on Cell Phone:
You just stay in your room... Honey, honey you're talking funny, what's wrong with you?
Elliot Moore:
What do you mean? Everyone's dead?
Woman on Cell Phone:
What? Stacy, you're scaring me, I don't, I don't understand what you're saying. What, baby? She's just not making any sense.
Young Woman Voice on Phone:
Calculus, I see... in calculus. Calculus. Calculus.
Woman on Cell Phone:
Stacy... Stacy... [loud noise, then silence on Stacy's end of the line]
Woman on Cell Phone:
Stacy Ann? [woman starts weeping]
Woman on Cell Phone:
Oh no no no no no Stacy, Stacy, oh no no no... Oh, Stacy!
 

 Julian:
Don't look outside. Stop it! Stop it! Just look at me. Just keep looking at me. Close the vents. I'm going to give you a math riddle, okay? And you're going to tell me the answer.
Panicked Woman in Car:
What?
Julian:
How much... how much would you have if I said I would pay you a penny on the first day, and then two pennies on the second, and then four pennies on the third, and then it just kept doubling and it did this for a month. How much money would you have at the end of the month?
Panicked Woman in Car:
Ten dollars?
Julian:
Higher. Just keep looking at me. Just keep looking at me.
Panicked Woman in Car:
Twenty dollars?
Julian:
No. Keep going. Keep going.
Panicked Woman in Car:
Thirty. It's thirty dollars.
Julian:
I'll tell you the answer. It's over ten million dollars. You'd have over ten million dollars at the end of the month. Want to hear another one?

[shots are heard firing in the distance] Oh no...
Alma Moore:
What "oh no"?
Elliot Moore:
The toxin? The toxin's affecting them?
Woman in Group:
Are those people killing themselves?
Realtor:
You were with the Private, what do we do?
Alma Moore:
We need to do something!
Elliot Moore:
Just let me think...
Alma Moore:
[as shots continually fire in the background] They're dying!
Elliot Moore:
I need a second...
Realtor:
They released it? We're not near the roads!
Alma Moore:
We can't just stand here as uninvolved observers!
Elliot Moore:
I need a second okay? Just give me a second!
Alma Moore:
We're not gonna be one of those assholes on the news who watches a crime happen and not do something! We're not assholes!
Elliot Moore:
Just a second!
Woman in Group:
There were children in that group!
Alma Moore:
Elliot please tell us what to do!
Elliot Moore:
I need a second okay? Why can't anybody give me a goddamn second? [talks to himself]
Elliot Moore:
All right, be scientific, douchebag. Identify the... rules... design the experiment... careful observation, measurements, that's what I'm trying to do, interpret the experimental pattern, interpret... What if it IS the plants? That group was larger than ours. This thing's been escalating all day. Smaller and smaller populations have been setting this off. They react to human stimulus. Maybe people are setting off the plants?
Alma Moore:
What are you saying? That guy was crazy! We have to save them!
Elliot Moore:
They're already dead! What if they're targeting us as threats? This part of the field may not have been set off. Something in this field could be releasing the chemical into the air when there's too many of us together. Let's just stay ahead of the wind!
