Ambulance Driver:
We had to dig him out from under the most peculiar things I ever saw.
Dr. Hill:
What things?
Ambulance Driver:
Well, I don't know what they are; I never saw them before. They looked like great big seed pods.
Dr. Hill:
Where was the truck coming from?
Ambulance Driver:
Santa Mira.
Dr. Miles J. Bennell:
This is the oddest thing I've ever heard of. Let's hope we don't catch it. I'd hate to wake up some morning and find out that you weren't you.
Becky:
[
laughs] I'm not the high school kid you use to romance, so how can you tell?
Dr. Miles J. Bennell:
You really want to know?
Becky:
Mmm-hmm.
Dr. Miles J. Bennell:
[
after kissing her] Mmmm, you're Becky Driscoll, all right!
Jack Belicec:
Stop trying to rationalize everything, will ya? Let's face it, we have a mystery on our hands!
Dr. Dan 'Danny' Kauffman:
Sure you have. A real one! Whose body was it, and where is it now? A completely normal mystery. Whatever it is, it's well within the bounds of human experience, and I don't think you ought to make any more of it.
Dr. Miles J. Bennell:
Look, I wouldn't if I hadn't looked in Becky's cellar! How do you explain away the body I saw there?
Dr. Dan 'Danny' Kauffman:
I don't think you saw one there.
Dr. Miles J. Bennell:
You don't think I saw one here, either?
Dr. Dan 'Danny' Kauffman:
I know you did because three others saw it too.
Dr. Miles J. Bennell:
But I dreamed up the second one?
Dr. Dan 'Danny' Kauffman:
Doctors can have hallucinations too.
Dr. Miles J. Bennell:
They're here already! You're next! You're next, You're next...!
Dr. Miles J. Bennell:
Drugs dull the mind - maybe that's the reason.
Dr. Miles J. Bennell:
I never knew fear until I kissed Becky.

Dr. Harvey Bassett:
Oh, Doctor Hill.
Dr. Hill:
Dr. Basset. Well, where's the patient?
Dr. Harvey Bassett:
I hated to drag you out of bed at this time of night. You'll soon see why I did.
Becky:
Is this an example of your bedside manner, doctor?
Dr. Miles J. Bennell:
No, ma'am. That comes later.
[
last lines]
Dr. Hill:
Get on your radios and sound an all points alarm. Block all highways, stop all traffic, and call every law enforcement agency in the state.
[
on phone]
Dr. Hill:
Operator, get me the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Yes, it's an emergency!
Becky:
They're like huge seed pods!
Dr. Miles J. Bennell:
And so I ran. I ran, I ran, I ran! I ran as little Jimmy Grimaldi ran the other day.
Dr. Dan 'Danny' Kauffman:
Love, desire, ambition, faith - without them, life's so simple, believe me.
Dr. Miles J. Bennell:
I don't want any part of it.
Dr. Dan 'Danny' Kauffman:
You're forgetting something, Miles.
Dr. Miles J. Bennell:
What's that?
Dr. Dan 'Danny' Kauffman:
You have no choice.
Wilma Lentz:
There's no emotion. None. Just the pretense of it. The words, the gesture, the tone of voice, everything else is the same, but not the feeling.
Charlie:
Give up! You can't get away from us! We're not gonna hurt you!
Charlie:
[
mob chases Miles to the highway] Let him go. Nobody will ever believe him.
[
from trailer]
Dr. Miles J. Bennell:
Listen to me! Please listen! If you don't, if you won't, if you fail to understand, then the same incredible terror that's menacing me WILL STRIKE AT YOU!
Stanley Driscoll:
Is the baby asleep yet, Sally?
Nurse Sally Withers:
No, but she will be soon. And the'll be no more tears.
Stanley Driscoll:
Shall I put this in her room?
[
referring to the alien seed pod he is carrying]
Nurse Sally Withers:
Yes, in her playpen.
Becky:
I can't do it, I can't, can't, can't go on.
Dr. Miles J. Bennell:
Yes you can.
Becky:
I don't want to live in a world without love or grief or beauty, I'd rather die.
