Quotes2

  • [the team kill an alligator & examine it's mouth]
  • Lena: Lena: Whoa. It's exactly the same as the flowers. Look at the teeth. Concentric rows. Something here is making giant waves in the gene pool.
  • [the paramedic, Anya, holds the alligator's mouth open. She has no tattoo on her arm]
  • Cass Sheppard: Sharks have teeth like that, don't they?
  • Dr Ventress: Do you think it's a crossbreed?
  • Lena: You can't crossbreed between different species.
  • Anya Thorensen: Lena, this is getting heavy.
  • [Later in the movie, Anya has acquired the tattoo]
  • Josie Radek: At first I thought the radio waves were blocked by the shimmer and that's why no one inside could communicate with base or GPS but the light waves aren't blocked, they're refracted and...
  • Josie Radek: [takes her walkie talkie out of her bag and turns it on] It's the same with the radios. Signals aren't gone, they're scrambled. That leaf in your hand, do you know what you'd get if you sequenced it?
  • Lena: What?
  • Josie Radek: Human Hox genes.
  • Anya Thorensen: Hox? What does "Hox" mean?
  • Lena: They're the genes that define the body plan, the physical structure.
  • Josie Radek: And the plants have human body plan. Arms attached to shoulders, legs to hips.
  • Lena: It's literally not possible.
  • Josie Radek: It's literally what's happening. The Shimmer is a prism, but it refracts everything. Not just light and radio waves... animal DNA, plant DNA, all DNA.
  • Anya Thorensen: What you mean "all DNA"?
  • Dr Ventress: She's talking about our DNA. She's talking about us.
