- Doctor Reuben: Loud noises disturb the victim, so do bright lights. Sometimes they have hallucinations, strong sexual urge, and then in the last stages, the sight of water terrifies them, even though they have an overwhelming thirst.
- Pancho: Hey, doc. You thirsty now?
- Perla: Hey, you know, he wouldn't be too bad with a bath and a - shave. Bring him over here and I'll soap him up.
- Doctor Reuben: What are you doing here?
- Perla: Sleeping.
- Doctor Reuben: Couldn't you find some place else to sleep?
- Perla: No.
- [giggles]
- Perla: Well, yes, but I couldn't wake you up.
- Perla: You know, I was wrong about you last night. I thought you were alive, but you're not even breathing.
- Doctor Reuben: What are you doing here? The party's at the engineer's house.
- Perla: I know, but I don't want an engineer. What I need is a doctor. You see, my temperature's going up.
- [seductively]
- Perla: Cure me, doc.
- Doctor Reuben: Physician, heal thyself. That's the first rule in medicine. Here, have a drink. It's the best cure there is.
- Perla: You sure can lap it up, doc. You know, if you're not careful, you're gonna end up with blood in your alcohol.
- Doctor Reuben: What are you wearing that for?
- Perla: Your doctor shirt? If you want, medicine man, I could - take it off.
- Perla: You filthy, no good bum! What the hell do you think you're doing? You think I want your stupid mouth - you think I want your stupid mouth on, on me? You jerk!
- Perla: You know, uh, all you've done since I've been here is just bawl me out and drink that rotgut.
- Wife of Old Man: The chief engineer is coming!
- Old Man: And if he sees you like that, he'll keep on going. Get your clothes on.
