Hud : Ocean is big, dude. All I'm saying is a couple of years ago, they found a fish in Madagascar that they thought been extinct for centuries.
Rob Hawkins : So what? It's been down there this whole time, and nobody noticed?
Hud : Sure. Maybe it erupted from an ocean trench, you know? Or a crevasse. Crevice. It's just a theory. I mean, for all we know, it's from another planet and it flew here.
Marlena Diamond : Like Superman?
Hud : Yeah, exactly like... Wait. You know who Superman is?
Marlena Diamond : Oh, my God. You know who Superman is?
Hud : Okay, I'm not...
Marlena Diamond : [sarcastically] I'm, like, feeling something. Are you aware of Garfield.
-
Beth McIntyre : [sees monster] What is that?
Hud : It's a terrible thing.
[while trying to get to a flight of stairs, Rob encounters a parasite and kills it]
Beth McIntyre : Oh my God! What is that?
Hud : I don't know! Something else! Also terrible.
-
Clark : How are you going to survive without Rob? He's like your main dude.
Hud : Yeah, I don't know.
[sees Rob passing by]
Hud : Hey Rob, how am I gonna survive without you?
Rob Hawkins : I don't know. I'm like your main dude.
Hud : Straight up!
-
Hud : One of them grabbed me, tried to drag me away. What's up with that?
Marlena Diamond : Maybe it liked you, Hud.
Hud : Yeah. Maybe it tried to make me its queen.
-
Hud : Do you guys remember a couple of years ago when that guy was lighting homeless people on fire in the subways?
Rob Hawkins : Jesus, Hud! Maybe not the best time for this conversation down here!
Hud : Right.
[awkward silent pause]
Hud : I just can't stop thinking how scary it'd be if a flaming homeless guy came running...
Rob Hawkins , Lily Ford , Marlena Diamond : HUD!
Hud : I'm just saying. Sorry.
-
Hud : Are you okay?
Marlena Diamond : You tell me. How does it look?
[Hud sees Marlena's bloody back shoulder]
Hud : It looks like it hurts.
Marlena Diamond : What do you mean? Are you saying this isn't attractive at all?
Hud : A little bit.
-
Hud : Okay, just to be clear here, our options are: die here, die in the tunnels, or die in the streets. That pretty much it?
Rob Hawkins : Yeah... that's pretty much it.
-
Rob Hawkins : Still filming?
Hud : Yeah, people are gonna want to know... how it all went down.
Rob Hawkins : Well, you can just tell them how it all went down, Hud.
Hud : No, that wouldn't work. People need to see this, you know? It's gonna be important. People are going to watch this.
-
Hud : Beth lives in Midtown. Midtown is that way. You know what else is that way? Some horrific shit!
-
Hud : [during a very stressful run up stairs] I don't read the papers. Maybe our government made this thing.
Rob Hawkins : Oh, yeah.
Hud : I mean, you know, maybe it was an accident, or maybe it was on purpose.
Rob Hawkins : Sure, maybe they did. Does it really matter right now?
Hud : Yeah. It matters because I need to talk about something. Otherwise, I'm actually probably going to shit my pants in this stairwell.
-
Hud : [watches from the helicopter as the monster is being bombed] I think they got him. Yeah, yeah, yeah! That's the shit right there! That's what I'm talking about...
[the monster jumps out of the fire and smoke and attacks the helicopter and it crashes]
-
Hud : Nobody ever listens to me, then when they do... we're gonna die...
-
Hud : Rob, what time do the choppers take off?
Rob Hawkins : 0600
Hud : What time is that?
Rob Hawkins : 6:00 Hud...
Hud : Oh yeah, I knew that.
-
[repeated line]
Hud : I'm documenting.
-
Hud : If this is the last thing you see... that means I died.
-
Hud : Thanks for... thanks for coming back for me back there. I really appreciate it.
Marlena Diamond : What would make you think that I'm the kind of person that wouldn't do that?
Hud : No... no I know you aren't. I'm just glad that you did. Other wise I would have been dead
Marlena Diamond : [chuckles] Yeah.
Hud : Yeah?
[chuckles]
Hud : Alright, you just got bit.
-
Hud : Rob, it is time to leave the electronic store.
-
Marlena Diamond : Hey Rob! Uh, Marlena. We probably met like three times total, and every one of those times I've seen you were drunk, so I don't really know what to say. But you have a really cool job! That's something. You're like President of something.
Hud : Vice President!
Marlena Diamond : Also really cool! So good luck with that, and so we're going to be here, in New York, really safe and fine for you when you come back.
Hud : Cool. That was a really good one!
Marlena Diamond : Yeah.
Hud : Yeah. We can do another one of you if you want.
Marlena Diamond : Do you actually have a card or something? My agency... we're leaving... we're going on this stupid retreat and they like all this video like bonding crap.
Hud : Oh yeah, I'm not actually a professional.
Marlena Diamond : What?
Hud : I'm not a professional. I'm Hud.
Marlena Diamond : Hug?
-
Hud : So, how do you want to do this? Do you want to do most of the talking? Or do your want me to do most of the talking?
Jason Hawkins : You're not doing any talking.
Hud : Okay. Cool.
-
Hud : [to Rob] Maybe you should've left town a little bit earlier, right?
-
Hud : Hey man. Were you surprised?
Rob Hawkins : I was like not even surprised.
Hud : No? Can you describe your current emotions right now?
Rob Hawkins : I would say blasé. I mean, I'm a little... I'm just a little bored...
Hud : No you're not!
Rob Hawkins : No man, that was awesome dude! What are you doing with a video camera?
Hud : I'm documenting the night so that you can take it to Japan with you.
Rob Hawkins : Oh, can I watch it every night while I'm there?
-
Hud : [with Marlena and Lily, trying to get Rob to stop] One of us is gonna have to tackle you and that's gonna be very uncomfortable for everyone involved!
-
Rob Hawkins : Hey, is that my camera?
Hud : Uh, I don't know. Jason just gave it to me.
Rob Hawkins : Did you change the tape? Because I had a tape in there... something important.
Hud : I didn't, it was already on when I got it.
-
Hud : Hey, you guys! I have it on tape!
-
Lily Ford : Rob and Beth slept together.
Hud : Are you serious?
Lily Ford : Yeah, a few weeks ago. Beth made me promise not to say anything.
Jason Hawkins : Are you kidding me Lily? Rob and Beth sleeping together and you're not even going to tell me that?
Hud : Why wouldn't you tell me?
Lily Ford : [long pause] Why wouldn't I tell you?
-
Lily Ford : Robert Hawkins, I can't believe you're leaving me to look after your brother by myself!
Jason Hawkins : Oh! Easy, easy. I'm mean I'm obviously standing right here.
Lily Ford : And I know I'm not officially family... yet...
Jason Hawkins : Not fair.
Hud : [to Lily] Dude... I'll cut him out later.
Lily Ford : But I think of you as my brother, and I hope you think of me as your sister.
-
Hud : Hey, Marlena. It's me, Hud, from before.
Marlena Diamond : [slightly annoyed] Hi.
Hud : Did you know that Rob and Beth had sex?
Marlena Diamond : No.
Hud : Yeah, isn't that crazy? They've been friends forever. I mean, Rob's been in love with her since college.
Marlena Diamond : Well, maybe it was like a going away present, you know?
[Marlena walks to bathroom]
Hud : Yeah! Wait, were we supposed to give presents?
-
Jason Hawkins : Hud! Listen, I got a job for you.
Hud : Uh, I've already got a job, putting up the sign.
Jason Hawkins : Yeah, I see that but this is more important than the sign. Um, you know how at weddings people give testimonies to the camera, right?
Hud : No.
Jason Hawkins : Alright. You're going to take the camera and just you know go around the party and film people telling Rob good luck.
Hud : I don't know. I mean, that's a lot of responsibility Jason and...
Jason Hawkins : Marlena's going to be here.
Hud : She is?
