You know, statistically,

the chance of a plane going down

because of turbulence is less

than, what? One in a billion?

Or is it a million?

I can't remember

if it's a million--

Shut up, Brian.

Listen, Sam.

Don't pay attention

to him, okay?

Everything's fine.

They're still

serving drinks.

[ P.A. Dings ]

[ Man ]

Folks, it appears we're gonna...

have a little bit

of a bumpy ride here

for the next few minutes.

Please fasten your seat belts

and put your tray tables

and seat backs...

in their upright positions

until we get through this.

Thank you.

- Whoa!

- Grab it! Grab it!

[ Woman ]

Watch out!

[ Hyperventilating ]

[ People Shouting ]

[ Engines Whining ]

[ Engines Slow ]

[ Girl ]

Sam?

- Sam.

- Hmm?

Can I have

my hand back?

I can't believe

I'm spending two weeks

alone with my mum.

Be patient with her, all right?

She's been looking forward

to this holiday for months.

I know.

[ Both Chuckle ]

I love you.

I love you too.

Hey. Hey, hello.

Bye-bye.

[ Man ] The cause

of this extreme weather

remains a mystery,

although some meteorologists

believe sunspots are to blame.

This is very odd.

There's a buoy here

registering a 13 degree drop

in ocean temperature.

Oh, yeah. That's right.

That buoy malfunctioned

the other day.

I'll put a call in,

see if there are any ships

near Georges Bank to get it.

This buoy isn't

in Georges Bank.

It's just off Greenland.

[ Man ]

What?

What are the odds

of two buoys failing?

Remote.

Make that three.

[ Horns Honking ]

[ Man ]

Just another typical day

in New York City.

Traffic jam 10 blocks long.

Looky here, Buddha.

These people and their cars

and their exhaust.

They're just pollutin'

the atmosphere!

Excuse me, sir.

We're really late.

We're almost there.

We're only two blocks away.

Let's walk.

[ Barking ]

[ Birds Calling ]

[ Barking ]

- [ Roaring ]

- What's got into them?

[ Animals Howling, Calling ]

I have no idea.

They're all worked up today.

[ Howling ]

In 1532, Spanish Conquistador

Francisco Pizarro...

defeated this Incan Emperor

at the Peruvian highland town

of Cajamarca.

What is his name? Time.

Montezuma.

No, no.

Montezuma was in Mexico,

not Peru.

It's like

Anta something.

- Atahuallpa?

- That's it!

- [ Buzzer Sounds ]

Time's up.

Correct answers, please?

That's five points

for Woodmont...

[ Crowd Cheering ]

and five points

for Pinehurst Academy.

Next question.

In what year

did Louis Quatorze...

ascend to the throne

of France?

** [ Pop ]

* Do you really want to

hurt me *

This place is so retro.

It might actually be cool

if it were on purpose.

Hmm.
