- McCreedy: The vault... I tried to warn you... those creatures... the vault... I tried... All my work! Thirty years, I have tried to prevent this from happening.
- Kyle: [as everyone is making out and Mr. McCreedy hangs up the phone] Uh... excuse me sir, can I use your phone?
- [first lines]
- McCreedy: [Dennis is listening to his radio] Dennis. Dennis!
- [takes off his headphones]
- Dennis: Hey! What gives?
- McCreedy: You're being paid to work around here, not just sit around and blast your eardrums!
- Dennis: Hey, take it easy. I can do both.
- [smiles]
- McCreedy: [a phone rings, McCreedy answers] Hello? Hello?
- [hangs up]
- McCreedy: [to Dennis] Didn't you hear the phone ringing?
- Dennis: No, I didn't.
- McCreedy: They've already hung up!
- Dennis: Then, it couldn't have been too important.
- McCreedy: Don't you have any sense of responsibility? That could have been a very important call!
- Dennis: At this hour?
- McCreedy: Look, in the future, would you just answer the phone no matter what hour it is and not to make decisions about what is important and what isn't?
- Dennis: Yeah, yeah, right, right.
- McCreedy: It's time for our rounds.
- McCreedy: [McCreedy and Dennis are roaming around inside the lot] Did I ever tell you about what this studio lot was like?
- Dennis: More than once.
- McCreedy: [smiles] Oh, this used to be one of the biggest lots in town!
- Dennis: Must have been a wild ride to Metropolis.
- [both chuckle]
- Dennis: [They approach a room] Hey, wait a minute. What's this down there?
- McCreedy: Oh, it's just an old film vault. There's nothing down there.
- Dennis: Well, why don't we check it out anyways?
- McCreedy: I'm telling you there's nothing down there and I'm not going to waste my time checking it out!
- Comstock: [Through the walkie-talkie] McCreedy!
- McCreedy: [to Comstock] What is it now?
- Comstock: I need to talk to you now.
- McCreedy: But I can't right now!
- Comstock: NOW! I mean it!
- McCreedy: I'll be right back. Oh, and remember what I said about the vault.
- Dennis: [putting on headphones] Whatever you say, pops.
