• Clark : [30:15]  I dunno what the hell's in there, but it's weird and pissed off, whatever it is.

• Dr. Blair : Clark?

  Clark : Yeah?

  Dr. Blair : Did you notice anything strange about the dog? Anything at all?

  Clark : Strange? No.

  Dr. Blair : What was the dog doing in the rec room?

  Clark : I don't know. It's just wondering around camp all day.

  Dr. Blair : Are you sayin' to me the dog wasn't put in the kennel until last night?

  Clark : Right.

  Dr. Blair : How long were you alone with that dog?

  Clark : I don't know. An hour... hour-and-a-half maybe. What the hell you looking at me like that for?

  Dr. Blair : [pause; now nervous]  I don't know.

  Clark : What?

  Dr. Blair : I don't know. It's probably nothing. It's nothing at all.

• [Holding the others at bay with a flamethrower, MacReady tosses a coil of rope amongst them] 

  Clark : What have you got in mind, MacReady?

  MacReady : A little test. Windows, you and Palmer tie everybody down real tight.

  Childs : What for?

  MacReady : For your health!

• Garry : I don't know about Copper... but I give you my word I did not go near that blood!

  [Garry lowers his gun and places it on a crate] 

  Garry : But I guess you'd all feel a little easier if somebody else was in charge. Norris, I can't see somebody objecting to you.

  Vance Norris : [after a pause; nervous tone]  I'm sorry fellas, but I-I-I'm not up to it.

  Childs : [goes for the gun]  I'll take it.

  Clark : [pulls out his knife]  Like hell you will!

  MacReady : [takes the gun]  It should be somebody a little more even-tempered, Childs.
