• Major Connolly : First of all let me apologize, to you, Miss Evans, not only for the, uh, the lateness of the hour, but for the stress and worry that you've all been put through. As you know, BioTek is leading a revolution in agriculture. You've all heard the magic words "genetic engineering". Well, in just a few short years we may have ourselves a whole new kind of farm. Corn that doesn't need fertilizer, cattle that fatten themselves. On the other hand, with any new technologies, there are certain risks! Now earlier today, someone spilled a batch of experimental yeast. No one got hurt, but if we open those doors prematurely, before a proper cleanup can be done, we endanger the herds and crops that you already have.

  Vic Flint : Hey what's with the men from Glad?

  [Glad brand plastic bags] 

  Major Connolly : I assume you're referring to our mobile quarantine package

  [Evans is being sealed in a large plastic bubble against her will] 

  Major Connolly : . It's a temporary measure, for her protection and yours.

• Tom Schmidt : I hear you brought the whole shooting match down there but never bothered to speak to me! We had a pump malfunction an hour ago and we fixed it!

  Major Connolly : Hold on, Schmidt! We're in for the long haul. Protocol 1 has been validated.

  [Schmidt collapses against the wall in disbelief] 

  Tom Schmidt : ...Validated?... How many are dead?
