• [last lines] 

  Enid Elliot : You know, I think that creature was friendly. I wonder what would have happened if... if Dr. Mears hadn't frightened him.

  John Lawrence : Who knows? Perhaps the greatest curse ever to befall the world, or perhaps the greatest blessing.

• Enid Elliot : When I got close to it, it looked like a giant glass ball girdled with something like a steel belt. Three of them, I think. When I got close enough to look in - there it was.

  Professor Elliot : It? What?

  Enid Elliot : That face! Right on the other side of the glass looking right into mine! I was terrified!

  Professor Elliot : A face? A human face?

  Enid Elliot : A ghastly caricature like something distorted by pressure. I can't think how else to describe it - a horrible, grotesque face looking right into my eyes!

• Enid Elliot : Is it true that no one will ever know what happened here?

  John Lawrence : Knowledge would only bring more fear in a world already filled with it.

  Enid Elliot : Can such a thing be kept a secret?

  John Lawrence : No. No, but it can be reduced to gossip.
