  Max Klein : I thought I was dead.

• Max : People don't believe in god so much as they choose not to believe in nothing.

• Carla : This is a German car?

  Max : Swedish!

  Carla : It's very sturdy.

  Max : It's a very safe car - a very safe car, and I'm an excellent driver. I've never been in an accident - well at least not while behind the wheel. But even strapped in to all of this marvelous technology of the reenforced doors and roof - we could still get crushed.

• Carla Rodrigo : You told me I was going to be safe with you.

  Max Klein : You're safe. You're safe because we died already.

• Max Klein : [talking to God]  You want to kill me but you can't!

  Jeff Gordon : Max, this is a very important meeting. I need you to calm down. I need you to be with me. All right? God, you're such a neurotic.

  [pause] 

  Max Klein : Something's not right.

  [an explosion rocks the cabin, and the passengers scream] 

  Max Klein : Oh shit!

  Pilot : [over the P.A., frantically]  This is your Captain. Please return to your seats, put your tray tables up and fasten your seatbelts.

  Flight Attendant : Ladies and gentlemen, please be sure to fasten your seatbelts tightly around your waist! The flight attendants will be coming by to collect all your trays!

  [the cabin shakes heavily, bags drop from the overhead compartments] 

  Passenger #2 : Is everything okay?

  Flight Attendant : We're just fine. We just hit a little unexpected turbulence.

  Passenger #1 : I don't think this is turbulence!

  Pilot : We're experiencing problems with our hydraulic system.

  Max Klein : The hydraulics!

  Max Klein : [screaming]  He can't steer! We're going down!
