For the Spinal Tap fans-—
Al Gore: The numbers all go to six. Look, right across the board, six, six, six and...
Rational person: Oh, I see. And most storms go up to five?
Gore: Exactly.
Rational person: Does that mean it’s stronger? Is it any stronger?
Gore: Well, it’s one stronger, isn’t it? It’s not five. You see, most storms, you know, will be moving at five. You’re on five here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you’re on five on your hurricane. Where can you go from there? Where?
Rational person: I don’t know.
Gore: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Rational person: Put it up to six.
Gore: Six. Exactly. One stronger.
Rational person: Why don’t you just make five stronger and make five be the top number and make that a little stronger?
Gore: [pause] These go to six.
