杰克逊带孩子来黄石地址公园露营，但他之前常和凯特来约会时的湖泊却不见了。杰克逊并不知道这里已经变成“地热禁区”。他们被带出了干涸的湖泊区域，随后与他们会面的哈姆西博士隐瞒了这一情况。他向《告别亚特兰蒂斯》的作者杰克森?克蒂斯问了一个很尖锐的问题：你真的相信，知道自己危在旦夕的那些人，会那么无私奉献吗？

Jackson: Stop calling me that, it's creeping me out. What's wrong with "Dad"?
Girl: Daddy, look at this.
Jackson: That wasn't here before. What did I do? Go get your hat.

Jackson: It's a national park, there's not supposed to be fences. What's going on here?
Adrian: We're geologists.
Jackson: You usually go digging with machine guns?
Adrian: Major, I'll take care of this, thank you.
Jackson: So what happened to the lake?
Adrian: Well that's what we're trying to find out. We think the entire area has become unstable. I think you should take your kids and leave, Mr...Curtis. You're not by any chance the Jackson Curtis who wrote "Farewell Atlantis"?
Jackson: The very same.
Girl: It's actually dedicated to my mom.
Adrian: I read a couple of your short stories in college. Your father is a very talented man.
Jackson: Listen up.
Adrian: It's amazing. I'm reading your book. I'm around day 300, the shuttle has just lost communication with Earth.
Jackson: You're one of the lucky few who bought it.
Adrian: I didn't buy it.
Jackson: No?
Adrian: My dad gave it to me. Let me ask you something. Do you think those people would behave so selflessly knowing that their own lives were at stake?
Jackson: I hope so. The critics said I was naive, an unabashed optimist, but what do they know, right?
Adrian: It was a great pleasure meeting you. Mayor, could you escort these good people to the camp grounds, please. This is yours. Thank you
Mayor: Yes, sir.
Adrian: Take care.
Girl: He was very nice.
Jackson: You're just saying that cause he like my book.
