  • Where's my daughter, Where is... [stutters] ...she. Why can't I remember my daughter's name? Where is she?!
  • Oh, can you use Wynn's aux. monitor because we'll need the big guns here for our little mouse hunt.
  • I hope your shortcut worked, Mr. Quigley.
  • Instant paralysis. They really weren't kidding, were they?
  • I don't trust machines, I have a machine to thank for this [points to his right eye, which is robotic] and this! [pounds the ground with his cane] I want to see them with my own God-given eye!

  • Do you believe in god?

Wynn

  • She's gonna die in there, and she's probably innocent!
  • This room is... green.
  • Would you forget the party line for a minute and make the call?

Dialogue

edit
Dodd: We'll call up when it's an emergency.
Wynn: Well, what do you think this is?!
Dodd: I don't see a fire, or flooding, or a gas leak or somebody down on the floor having a heart attack! But right now, I sure would like to!

[Wynn reaches out for the telephone and it starts to ring.]
Wynn: Hello? [pause] It's for you.
[Wynn hands the phone to Dodd.]
Dodd: Yes, sir. Right away sir.
[Dodd hangs up.]
Dodd: Someone's at the exit.
Wynn: [panicking] Then what do we do?!
Dodd: The exit procedure.

Cassasndra: Water?
Wynn: [astonished] The auxiliary exit!

Haskell: Hey, you can't go climbing around in here.
[Rains turns around.]
Rains: Why not?
Haskell: There are traps.
Rains: How do you know?
Meyerhold: Because of this.
[He holds up his hand to reveal that he has two fingers cut off.]

Dodd: You know, you shouldn't be looking at the files.
Wynn: It's not against the rules.
Dodd: It's not encouraged.
Wynn: C'mon.
Dodd: [pointedly] It's not encouraged.
Wynn: [muttering] What's got into you?

Rains: Good memory.
Meyerhold: Yeah, in the short term. Now if I could just remember anything between birth and about three hours ago.

Haskell: Look, we had to leave him. If he stayed with us, we'd already be infected with what she had.
Rains: You don't know that!
Wynn:[entering through the hatch at the top of the room] Actually, he's right. It was a highly aggressive form of necrotizing fasciitis. Flesh-eating disease.
