Flicks ant off of Manley's knee]
Doctor James Atherton:
24 hour ant.
Dick Manley:
They bite?
Doctor James Atherton:
They kill, Mr. Manley, in sufficient numbers.
Dr. Ross Jennings:
Respect is fine, but actually I've always wanted to be feared.
Delbert McClintock:
Rock and roll!
Jerry Manley:
So how long will it take us to get back to camp?
Doctor James Atherton:
What's the matter? You still worried about dinosaurs?

noticing the dead spider Lloyd took out of the cereal box]
Milt Briggs:
What could have killed it?
Dr. Ross Jennings:
The shock of seeing Lloyd?
Dr. Ross Jennings:
The itsy-bitsy spider crawled up the water spout; down came the rain and washed the spider out.
Molly Jennings:
What's wrong?
Dr. Ross Jennings:
Metcalf - he's having a seizure.
Molly Jennings:
Thank God you didn't examine him this morning.
Delbert McClintock:
Would anyone object if I tore this floor out?
Molly Jennings:
I would.
Delbert McClintock:
False alarm then. Lead on.
Molly Jennings:
I'm sure you knew exactly what you were doing when you took Margaret off those pills.
Dr. Ross Jennings:
Like I knew what I was doing when I chose this town... with the country doctor from hell!
Dr. Ross Jennings:
What do you wanna bet they're gonna go chase fireflies?
Bunny:
Wanna blow up a bullfrog?
Shelley:
OK.
Delbert McClintock:
Spiders would find your barn a tad breazy this time of year. In that respect, spiders are a bit like you and me. No, I frankly doubt there are any spiders in your barn.
Dr. Ross Jennings:
Well, I frankly know there is Delbert. I saw a web! There is a web in my barn!
Delbert McClintock:
...A web would indicate an arachnoid presence.
Doctor James Atherton:
What's your specialty, Manley?
Jerry Manley:
Football.
Dr. Ross Jennings:
[
after killing a spider] Therapy.

after stepping on a spider, a dog barks in the background] Yeah, that's right... I'm bad!
Molly Jennings:
Why is all the wood rotting?
Delbert McClintock:
I'll tell you why. Bad wood.
Molly Jennings:
So... what do we do?
Delbert McClintock:
Tear out bad wood. Put in good wood.
Dr. Ross Jennings:
Not the Chateau.
Dr. Ross Jennings:
Milt, why don't you cover the living room.

sighs]
Dr. Ross Jennings:
Chris, why don't you check out back. And uh Lloyd, take the kitchen. And I'll just uh, I'll oversee the uh, I'll just coordinate the uh, I'll just stay right here.
Dr. Ross Jennings:
Chris, I'm scared to death.
Collins:
Yeah, we all are, but our brains secrete a neurotransmitter that enables us to deal with them.
Dr. Ross Jennings:
I don't think I have that particular neurotransmitter.
Dr. Ross Jennings:
Come on, let's go find that spider. And let's find your mom to take care of that spider. Honey, we're in the living room. We need you to kill a spider.
Sheriff Lloyd Parsons:
[
introducing Delbert to Doctor Atherton] Excuse me. Professor? This is our town exterminator.
Delbert McClintock:
Delbert McClintock, infestation management. Always nice to meet a collegue.
Sheriff Lloyd Parsons:
Now, he believes he came across one of the offending spiders a couple of hours ago.
Doctor James Atherton:
Might you have brought it with you?
Delbert McClintock:
Actually, he's probably still at the bottom of my shoe. You really can't tell what it is anymore.
Doctor James Atherton:
I think this is a new species of butterfly... we could call it Potius Manliae

Atherton being goofy making in inside joke to Jerry Manley after all the bugs fall from the tree]
Doctor James Atherton:
Well that could be the good news.

the spiders die soon after biting the victim]
Sheriff Lloyd Parsons:
Now let's discuss the bad.
Doctor James Atherton:
In its original habitat it was confined by geography that isn't true here.
[
the General spider is not from Canima]
Doctor James Atherton:
The king produced a queen in the original nest. Soon there will be a primary nest which the queen will guard. She will be able to have reproductive offspring of her own. When that happens this town is dead and the next one and so on.
Dr. Ross Jennings:
In my opinion...
Margaret Hollins:
In my opinion, Mr. Metcalf isn't aware of the difference between his ass and a hole in the ground
