Dr. John Rollason

• Of all the idiotic, maniac ideas!
• This creature may have an affinity for man, something in common with ourselves. Let's remember that before we start shooting.
• I'm wondering... wondering how old that face is. It's seen a long life.

Dr. Tom Friend

• They killed him. It was the sound of that howling. He couldn't stand it - it drove him mad.

Dialogue

Dr. John Rollason: This is complete madness, Friend, and you know it.

Dr. Tom Friend: Relax, will ya. He knows how to hold his fire.
