Quotes 

• Craven : They all drowned.

  Emma Craven : I know. I was there.

  Craven : Why didn't you tell me?

  Emma Craven : Dad... you were on their side.

  Craven : No!

• Emma Craven : Millions of years ago when the Earth was cold, it looked as if life on the planet would cease to exist. But black flowers began to grow, multiplying across it's face til the entire surface was covered in blooms. Slowly, the blackness of the flowers sucked in the heat of the sun and life began to evolve again. That is the power of Gaia.

  Ronald Craven : It'll take more than a black flower to save us this time.

  Emma Craven : This time when it comes it'll melt the polar ice cap. Millions will die. The planet will protect itself, it's important to realize that. If man is the enemy, it will destroy him.

  Ronald Craven : Is this some kind of warning?

  Emma Craven : All I'm saying is don't spend your last hour seeking revenge, dad. The planet will do it for us, in time.

• Clemmy : [realizing Craven is fatally ill]  You can't die alone, Ronnie...

  Craven : Why not? We all do, you know.

• Craven : It seems rather hard on the rest of Scotland.

  Darius Jedburgh : Yeah, that's what I thought too. Especially the golf courses. So I decided against it.
