Hey, Doc, isn’t it true that if even one of those tiles were to come loose, millions and millions of gallons of water would come pouring down on us and squash us like tiny little bugs? Is that a leak up there? You see those tiles? They’re leaking water right there!

DR. WEITZMAN
Bill. Cut it out. Oh, my God!

JACK
I will hold back the waters.

DR. WEITZMAN
Thanks, Jack.

BILLY
Dr. Verboven can be such a perfectionist.

JACK

JACK
Let me hold the gun.

HENRY
No.

JACK
I let you sit in the front seat.

PSYCHIATRIST

JACK
