Goofs When Mya and Rod flee the building and head to the car you can see the corpse with the yellow blouse breathe and move. However, it is never established that it is a corpse. It could very well be someone dying, but not yet dead. See more »

Quotes Anna: What if my party guests show up?
Clark: Anna, I don't know if you know this, but there is some seriously insane shit going on out there right now. People are losing their minds.
[Clark goes to turn off the TV]
Clark: There's a bad sector in the electromagnetic spectrum which is causing a rift in logical thinking. Rational behavior has given way to primal... primordial action.
[Anna sees someone on fire outside]
Clark: We've reached a critical juncture in the consistency of everyday living. Societal norms are being completely abandoned. Anarchy has replaced etiquette. Chaos is the ruling class of this civilization, so I think coming to a goddamn New Years Eve party is the last thing on people's minds!
