Quotes
-
Marv Loach : What department is that again?
Kent Mansley : Frankly, I'm not at liberty to divulge the particulars of the agency I work for, and all that that implies.
Marv Loach : You mean, national security?
Kent Mansley : Let me put it this way. Every so often things happen that can't be rationalized in a conventional way. People wanna know their government has a response. I am that response.

Dean McCoppin : Thanks for the scrap, Floyd. I'm sorry I can't pay you more, but it's got... it's got this large "bite" out of it.
Floyd Turbeaux : That's why I'm selling it. It's got a large bite out of it.
Dean McCoppin : Yeah, right. What could have done this?
Earl Stutz : I told you what.
Dean McCoppin : Oh, yeah. Strange invaders.
Earl Stutz : Thanks for believin' me. I really did call the government. They're sending someone over to take care of the whole thing.
Dean McCoppin : Jeez, Earl, you really are crazy. I mean, who in the hell would the government send?

Marv Loach : United States Government, eh? That must mean something big is happening here.
Kent Mansley : No, Marv. Big things happen in big places, and the sooner I file my report, the sooner I can get back to them.
[Later, after Mansley's car has been eaten by the Giant, proving he exists]
Marv Loach : What, uh... What are we looking at here, Mr. Mansley?
Kent Mansley : Something big, Marv. Something big.
