- Delbert McClintock: [after stepping on a spider, a dog barks in the background] Yeah, that's right... I'm bad!
- 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.

- Molly Jennings: So... what do we do?
- Delbert McClintock: Tear out bad wood. Put in good wood.
- 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.
- [Flicks ant off of Manley's knee]
- Doctor James Atherton: 24 hour ant.
- Jerry Manley: They bite?
- Doctor James Atherton: They kill, Mr. Manley, in sufficient numbers.
- Doctor James Atherton: In this first generation, the original male also produced a queen, and together they will construct a primary nest which the queen will guard. But eventually, she will create reproductive offspring of her own. And when that happens, this town is dead... and the next town... and the next town... and the next one, and so on.
- Dr. Ross Jennings: In my opinion...
- Margaret Hollins: In my opinion, Dr. Metcalf isn't aware of the difference between his ass and a hole in the ground

- Dr. Ross Jennings: [under his breath] You think I was hoping you were ravaged by disease?
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
