Stephen Jarvis
- Stephen Jarvis: You know, you're very beautiful. Maybe it's the environment, but you turn me on. And I could turn you on, too. You've seen my kid, haven't you? That's just a glimpse of the animal in me.
- Stephen Jarvis: You guys are taking a hell of a risk.
- First Cuban: They wouldn't pay any attention to us, what we have to say.
- Second Cuban: We're Commies.
- First Cuban: You're just a lunatic.
- Stephen Jarvis: Should I tell them how I got here?
- Second Cuban: They wouldn't believe that.
- Stephen Jarvis: Why are you doing this?
- First Cuban: Haven't you heard? We're human beings.
- Stephen Jarvis: You know, some people might want to know about that.
- Second Cuban: No, they wouldn't.
- First Cuban: We're lucky we heard that report on the radio about the fishing boat and the bodies.
- [shakes Jarvis' hand]
- First Cuban: Buenos tardes.
- Stephen Jarvis: Maybe I'll see you in Havana someday.
- Second Cuban: Maybe you'll see us in Mexico City or Tijuana.
- Stephen Jarvis: Don't bet on it.
- First Cuban: [gives Jarvis a handgun] Here. Take this.
- Stephen Jarvis: This is strange, a Cuban giving an American a gun.
- Second Cuban: A Russian gun. Do you know how to handle it?
- Stephen Jarvis: I was an actor. I fired off a lot of blanks.
- First Cuban: These aren't blanks.
- Stephen Jarvis: Adios.
- First Cuban: Good luck with your kid. Maybe you won't have to shoot him.
- Lt. Perkins: I guess my feet are too big for you.
- Stephen Jarvis: You're a little off your beat, aren't you?
- Lt. Perkins: It's amazing how far a man will travel to find a pair of shoes that'll fit. Especially when you're on your feet as much as I am. Did you see the newspapers this week?
- Stephen Jarvis: I never read the newspapers.
- Lt. Perkins: This is a good job for a person who hates kids.
- Stephen Jarvis: That's too bad about Judge Watson. I didn't send flowers. So, what, are you going to arrest me?
- Lt. Perkins: So, a man dies, a policy changes. Dr. Swenson's back and in charge now. He's a revisionist and a certified lunatic.
- Stephen Jarvis: I always thought he was a nice enough guy.
- Lt. Perkins: Yeah, well, believe it or not, he wants to go back there.
- Stephen Jarvis: Back where?
- Lt. Perkins: He wants to see what they're like now, how they've grown up.
- Stephen Jarvis: Well, it's been four years. They grow pretty quickly, don't they?
- Lt. Perkins: Yeah, and the crazy part is he wants me to go along for security. I'm supposed to be some kind of an expert.
- Stephen Jarvis: Well, you're not here to ask my permission.
- Lt. Perkins: Swenson wants you, too.
- Stephen Jarvis: He is a lunatic.
- Lt. Perkins: Ah, he remembers how you acted in the courtroom. How you touched it, how it responded. Your kid would be what, five years old now? Well. They asked me to find you. I've done that.
- Stephen Jarvis: You're looking forward to this, aren't you? Come on, admit it, you son of a bitch. You want to find out how they turned out, right?
- Lt. Perkins: How long is it going to take you to pack?
- Stephen Jarvis: Now that you can tell me, where they put him?
- Lt. Perkins: Paradise. You'll love it.
- Sally: This whole pier is getting to be a meat market, isn't it? Kids think they own this town.
- Stephen Jarvis: They're okay.
- Sally: How about a little adult competition, huh?
- Stephen Jarvis: No, thanks.
- Sally: Got a place right around the corner. And I got some, some great videotapes you might like. You know, grown-up stuff.
- Stephen Jarvis: Not tonight.
- Sally: And I get the Disney channel. Okay, you don't know what you're missing.
- Stephen Jarvis: You've got a great arm.
- Sally: Yeah? Thanks. Wait 'til you see the rest of me.
- [Stephen receives a stuffed animal]
- Stephen Jarvis: Thanks. Is this for me?
- Sally: Yeah.
- [They're showing making out in her bed]
- Sally: Take it easy. I'm not charging you by the hour.
- Stephen Jarvis: Oh, you got a weekly rate?
- Sally: Say, when was the last time you made love to a woman, huh?
- Stephen Jarvis: It shows, huh?
- Sally: God, you're like a high school kid.
- Stephen Jarvis: I was good as a high school kid.
- Sally: Yeah?
- Stephen Jarvis: And it's been about that long.
- Sally: Since this is such a big night in your life, let's make it very special.
- Stephen Jarvis: You have great skin. You really do.
- Sally: Hey, wait a minute. You know, I think I've made love to you before.
- Stephen Jarvis: No, I... You'd have remembered if you'd made love to me.
- Sally: You look awfully familiar. Hey, what's the matter? Did I do something to turn you off?
- Stephen Jarvis: No, no. It's all right.
- Sally: You know, guys talk to me. It does them good.
- Stephen Jarvis: I got to catch a flight.
- Sally: Why is it whenever I meet the nice ones, they're always in a hurry? Why don't you stick around a while? I could make you a couple of eggs and some coffee, and...
- Stephen Jarvis: No, thanks.
- Sally: You know, I can't get over the feeling I've seen you somewhere before. Do you come up to Cape Vale much?
- Stephen Jarvis: No, I've never been here before.
- Sally: Hmmm. Well, what do you do?
- Stephen Jarvis: I was an actor. Nothing big, mainly commercials.
- Sally: I believe it. You're good enough looking to be on tv.
- Stephen Jarvis: Thanks.
- Sally: Hey, you know who you look like? Now, don't get mad, but that guy on the news who went to court over his baby. You know that awful thing about the monsters? But I got cable news on all the time, and that guy, he could have been a brother to you. God, he looks so much like you.
- Stephen Jarvis: That's who I am. I'm Stephen Jarvis in person.
- Sally: Oh, shit!
- Stephen Jarvis: Sally...
- Sally: I really know how to pick 'em
- Stephen Jarvis: Don't be worried...
- Sally: Let me go, get your hands off me.
- Stephen Jarvis: I'm healthy, they've run tests on me...
- Sally: Leave me alone. Get your hands off of me!
- Stephen Jarvis: It's not catching.
- Sally: How do you know? How does anybody know? You know, you should tell people who you are before you put your hands on 'em. You shouldn't let a woman know who you are before you try and make love to her. I don't want your dirty, filthy money, either. Just get out of here. Go on, get out. You're a freak. Ugh! You're sick and you make me sick, too. Get out, you freak! You're sick! Oh god, he touched me.
- Dr. Brewster: We're going to communicate with the subjects and record their speech. After all these years in isolation surely they've developed a language of their own.
- Dr. Swenson: No question they'll have instincts beyond ordinary humans. After all, the Davis child did find his way back through the Los Angeles sewer system to his parents house. We've never been able to account for that phenomenon.
- Lt. Perkins: We were getting pretty lonely walkin' around out there.
- Stephen Jarvis: Are you gonna let us in on what's happening?
- Dr. Brewster: Purely technical matters.
- Stephen Jarvis: I know you would invited us on this expedition, but we gotta get some ground rules straight. Perkins and I expect to be equal members of this party.
- Lt. Perkins: You do expect us to be attacked?
- Dr. Swenson: Oh, will be armed with weapons that will sedate the creatures without having to kill them. Incapacitate them long enough for me to examine them, draw blood and fluid samples, and be safely away before they can regain consciousness.
- Stephen Jarvis: And leave them on the island till the next expedition?
- Dr. Brewster: Well, surely you didn't think we intended to bring them here.
- Dr. Morrell: The government feels that we ought to bring back at least one subject for the purpose of internal examinations. Something we're not equipped to do on the island itself.
- Stephen Jarvis: You mean kill one of 'em for experimental reasons?
- Dr. Morrell: It won't be your child. That's out of the question, of course.
- Stephen Jarvis: Oh, really? What are you gonna butcher him on the island or wait till you get him on the high seas?
- Dr. Swenson: I'll let you know when I decide upon the government's request.
- Dr. Morrell: I need a breath of fresh air.
- Lt. Perkins: I think, gentlemen, it would be advisable to leave all conventional weapons on board. Just take your stun guns and your tranquilizer rifles, but leave the rest of the hardware. I wouldn't want anybody like Ms. Morrell, shooting one of these things between the eyes. You know, kind of, accidentally on purpose?
- Dr. Swenson: How about a compromise, Lieutenant Perkins? You and Jarvis will have the conventional weapons. We'll take the tranquilizer guns.
- Dr. Brewster: Yes, that way if there's any killing to be done, you two can do it.
- Lt. Perkins: Well that sounds like a workable compromise. What do you say, Jarvis?
- Stephen Jarvis: [holding a tranquilizer rifle] This just puts them to sleep?
- Dr. Brewster: That's right.
- Stephen Jarvis: Does it hurt 'em?
- Dr. Brewster: Not in the least.
- Stephen Jarvis: You're sure that?
- Dr. Brewster: Absolutely.
- [Jarvis shoots him in the arm with the tranquilizer guns]
- Stephen Jarvis: See you in the morning.
- [Dr Brewster passes out]
