• Sheriff Bryce Hammond : All right, enough.

  [shouts] 

  Sheriff Bryce Hammond : Enough! It's not a god, it's not a devil. It's just a fucking animal, and any living thing can be killed.

  Timothy Flyte : But this thing is what wiped out the dinosaurs! Which were pretty tough fucking customers!

• Timothy Flyte : What they do not understand is that death is for mortals, not or gods. Even after all they witnessed tonight they still don't *believe*, they still think you're only an *animal*... only a *thing*. Show yourself! Gods have nothing to fear...

  [mockingly] 

  Timothy Flyte : Or *do* they?

• General Copperfield : Just what is this thing?

  Timothy Flyte : Chaos. Chaos in the flesh.

• Timothy Flyte : Show yourself. Gods have nothing to fear... Or do they?

• Timothy Flyte : I used to believe that any theory, once published with supporting evidence, then became open to discussion and debate. But I've learned how envious, vindictive, and vicious the academic community can be; they're swine. Polite swine, but swine nonetheless.
