- Dr. Frank Whitman: Try talking to a surgeon about compromise during an open-heart operation.”
Leslie William Nielsen - Mayor William Dudley
Barry Newman - Dr. Frank Whitman

“- Albert: I don't know about this, Sam. Those fires look awfuly close and they're getting closer.

John Friesen - Albert
Anthony Sherwood - Sam
