:02:01
in the unlikely event that
the comets do strike the Earth.
:02:05
So, in the soft limestone
of Missouri,
:02:09
we've been preparing
a network of immense caves,
:02:12
and they're almost finished.
:02:14
And we can put
a million people in them.
:02:16
And that million people can
survive there, underground,
:02:19
for 2 years,
:02:21
until the air clears
and the dust settles.
:02:24
Now, the cave is more
than a dormitory.
:02:27
It's our new Noah's Ark.
:02:29
We're storing seeds
and seedlings,
:02:31
plants, animals,
enough to start over.
:02:35
On August 10th,
a computer
:02:36
will randomly select
800,000 Americans
:02:40
to join the 200,000 scientists,
doctors, engineers,
:02:43
teachers, soldiers, and artists,
who have already been chosen.
:02:47
Other countries
are preparing similar caves
:02:49
along whatever lines
they feel are best
:02:50
to preserve their way
of life.
:02:53
This is ours.
:02:54
Beginning tonight and continuing
until the crisis passes,
:02:58
I am declaring a state
of martial law.
:03:02
The armed forces
and the National Guard
:03:03
are working
with local law enforcement.
:03:06
A national curfew begins
at midnight tonight.
:03:09
Now, wherever you are,
go home.
:03:12
Stay offthe roads
after sunset.
:03:15
Crimes against persons
or property
:03:17
will be dealt with
swiftly and harshly.
:03:21
News stations around the nation
are being faxed copies
:03:24
of the lottery procedure
as we speak,
:03:25
and they'll be broadcasting
the details to you
:03:28
in a few moments.
:03:36
I wish...
:03:40
No.
:03:43
Wishing is wrong.
:03:45
It's the wrong word
right now.
:03:47
That's not what I mean.
:03:51
What I mean is...
:03:54
I believe in God.
:03:56
Relax.
:03:59
I know a lot of you don't,
