  • MacReady: I don't know. Thousands of years ago it crashes, and this thing... gets thrown out, or crawls out, and it ends up freezing in the ice.
  • Childs: I just cannot believe any of this voodoo bullshit.
  • Palmer: Childs, happens all the time, man. They're falling out of the skies like flies. Government knows all about it, right, Mac?
  • Childs: You believe any of this voodoo bullshit, Blair?
  • Palmer: Childs, Childs... Chariots of the Gods, man. They practically own South America. I mean, they taught the Incas everything they know.
  • Garry: So, come on now, MacReady, Norwegians get ahold of this... and they dig it up out of the ice.
  • MacReady: Yes, Garry, they dig it up, they cart it back, it gets thawed out, it wakes up... probably not the best of moods... I don't know, I wasn't there!

  • Childs: So how's this motherfucker wake up after thousands of years in the ice?
  • George Bennings: And how can it look like a dog?
  • MacReady: I don't know how. 'Cause it's different than us, see? 'Cause it's from outer space. What do you want from me? Ask him!
  • [motions to Blair]
  • Childs: You buy any of this Blair?
  • George Bennings: [Bennings rushes into Childs room] Childs, Mac wants the flamethrower!
  • Childs: Mac wants the what?
  • George Bennings: That's what he said. Now move!
  • Childs: [Childs tucks in his shirts and grumbles] Damn it!
  • George Bennings: [Watching a video of the Norwegians] How much more of this crap is there?
