Quotes 

• Burt Gummer : Destiny's a bitch.

• Burt Gummer : [after killing a Shrieker with his bowie knife]  Who needs guns, when you got Pennsylvania steel?

• Burt Gummer : Does a wild bear shit in the woods and wipe its ass with a white rabbit?

• Jimmy : Alright, we're just about done setting up perimeter. Any of those, uh, things get in here, we're gonna frag their asses.

  Burt Gummer : Sorry, what?

  Jimmy : I said, we're ready to frag their friggin' asses!

  Jasmine 'Jas' Welker : Don't do that, Jimmy!

  Jimmy : What?

  Jasmine 'Jas' Welker : Don't say things like, "Frag their friggin' asses." Burt Gummer can pull off that stuff, but it's not a good look on you.

  Burt Gummer : Sage advice.

• Burt Gummer : Lord, be praised. Machetes, huh? Bless my soul, Pennsylvania steel.

  Jimmy : That supposed to be good?

  Burt Gummer : Does a bear shit in the wood and wipe it ass with a white rabbit?

• Burt Gummer : Shriekers. They're ambush hunters. They make a loud screeching sound just before they attack, ergo the name. A large, bony frill on their head is like a infrared camera of sorts.

  Jimmy : They hunt by heat signature? Like "Predator."

  Burt Gummer : This is real life, son, not some Hollywood fairytale.

• Anna : Mr. Gummer.

  Burt Gummer : Come to add salt to the wound?

  Anna : No. I've come to make peace. We just lost several of our hunting party fighting that thing, including Dr. Richards, and I'm afraid Bill's gone batshit crazy. So if you can use a spare set of hands, I'd like to throw in.

  Jasmine 'Jas' Welker : Oh, come on, Burt. They say it takes a village.

  Anna : Oh, it's gonna take an army.

  Burt Gummer : An army?

  Anna : Yeah, I just met the queen, and she's Godzilla-big.

• Jasmine 'Jas' Welker : You don't have to go it alone this time.

  Burt Gummer : I've got this, Slim.

  Jasmine 'Jas' Welker : Yeah, but what happens if...

  Burt Gummer : If? That's one hell of an if. But if so, then and that ne'er-do-well son of ours stand to inherit two thousand gallons of petrol, a five year supply of water, three thousand MRE's and enough munitions to blow the state of Nevada to Kingdom Come.

  Jasmine 'Jas' Welker : Nice portfolio.

  Burt Gummer : Oh, and you get these sunglasses back.

• Jimmy : Hey, you know what they say? One sometimes finds his destiny on the path to avoid it.

  Burt Gummer : Beats the hell out of civilization with all its rules and regs. State of Nevada ordered me to hook up a sewer. You know what that means?

  Jimmy : Uh, sanitation?

  Burt Gummer : Sanitation, my ass. It means permits, government inspectors, bureaucracy. Oh, it's one big self-licking ice cream cone. The government gets your spore, it gets your DNA.

• Bill Davidson : Don't you worry, Burt. I'll have those bad boys dressed and mounted by Monday morning.

  Burt Gummer : Before you begin your graboid-slaying quest, do yourself a favor and get something bigger than that 308. That's like spitting at Godzilla.
