Quotes 

• Brian Flagg : Listen to me, Briggs, think for a minute, do you suppose an army of guys in plastic suits show up every time a meteor falls?

  Dr. Meddows : [about Brian]  Shoot him, that's a direct order!

  Brian Flagg : How do you think they got here so fast? How did they even know when to come?

  Dr. Meddows : Shoot dammit shoot!

  Brian Flagg : I'll tell ya how! That meteor is man-made! It's some kind of a germ warfare test they fucked up!

• Dr. Meddows : Let Me tell you a story. Dinosaurs ruled our planet for millions of years and yet they died out almost over night. Why? The evidence suggests that a meteor fell to Earth carrying an alien bacteria.

  Meg Penny : Plague? Is that what this whole thing is about?

  Dr. Meddows : Prevention!

  Brian Flagg : And you think that this meteor brought some kind of killer germ?

  Dr. Meddows : It's something I've expected and prepared for all my life!

  Brian Flagg : Your meteor brought something all right but if it's a germ, it's the biggest son of a bitch you've ever seen!

• Jennings : Dr. Meadows, just for the record, I don't agree with any of this. Those people's lives are at stake.

  Dr. Meddows : Don't you think I know that? This isn't one of you text-book exercises, Mr. Jennings. This is an experiment in biological warfare, or hadn't you noticed? That organism is potentially the greatest breakthrough in weapons research since man split the atom. What we do here will affect the balance of world power! Of course there are lives at stake - whole nations, in fact. And that's far more important than a handful of people in this small town. And that is my cross to bear, Mr. Jennings. Now carry out your orders.

• Brian Flagg : In the meantime, we're your prisoners?

  Dr. Meddows : Not at all, you're my patients.

• Dr. Meddows : I want that organism alive.

  White Suit #1 : What about the civilians?

  Dr. Meddows : They're expendable.
