Dante's Peak - Casual Conversations Over Coffee and Danger
Paul Dreyfus:
How about a nice adult beverage?
Greg: [seeing Rachel get out of her car with the coffees]
Yes! It's coffee time! Coffee! Coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee! Cappuccino! Java! Yes!
Harry:
This little puppy's called Spider Legs. She goes in when it's too dangerous for us. Boldly goes, I might add.
Terry:
You guys see this? Do you see this? I expect apologies and six-packs from each one of ya.
Paul:
That's Terry's answer to everything. Kick it if it doesn't work.
Sheriff Turner:
Attention all citizens. There will be a meeting held…in the high school gymnasium at 6 PM to discuss the evacuation of Dante's Peak. To repeat: All citizens are urged to attend the meeting…that will be held in the high school gymnasium…
Nancy:
Why look at computers when you can look at the real thing?

Cast a Deadly Spell - Changing Trust Between Two Detectives
Det. Morris Bradbury: [in Bradbury's office]
I used to hate your guts... you know that, don't you?
Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft:
You told me often enough.
Det. Morris Bradbury:
Now you're about the only man in this town I can trust.
Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft:
Gosh, Bradbury... I didn't know you cared.
Det. Morris Bradbury:
It's just you're the only guy now walking around without a magic wand up his ass. I got vampires in West Hollywood, salamanders coming out of the fire hydrants in Santa Monica, black rain, red rain, hail the size of your fist.
Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft:
Magic is the way of the future. You wouldn't want to buck the future, would you, Bradbury?
Det. Morris Bradbury: [he slams his office door shut]
If this is the future,
Det. Morris Bradbury:
I'll take vanilla.

Cast a Deadly Spell - Navigating Danger with Confidence and Skepticism
Det. Morris Bradbury:
Phil, this doesn't have to be a trip to the dentist. Like I say, we've got no beef with you. Fella's partner goes bad, goes on the take, that happens. You are square with us... just because Harry Borden-...
Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft:
I don't need a history lesson!
Det. Morris Bradbury:
Someone's throwing lesser demons at you, black magic from the Pit of Asagoth, and you don't even carry a rabbit's foot!
Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft:
I can handle it.
Det. Morris Bradbury:
Well, I'm not worried about you, Phil... I'm worried about the people who might get in the way.
Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft:
How is it?
Det. Morris Bradbury:
Bad.
Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft:
It's always bad.
Det. Morris Bradbury:
There's bad and then there's bad. Something's coming, something ugly. And it's guys like me got to clean up the mess. Now I got enough to worry about, Phil, so do us both a favor... watch your back.
Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft:
Thanks.

Det. Morris Bradbury: [Lovecraft shows Bradbury a voodoo doll]
What's this?
Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft:
It's the murder weapon. Well, Bradbury, at least she found a nice clean way to bump him off.
Det. Morris Bradbury:
Time was you had to look a man in the eye before you could kill him... you owed him that.
Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft:
Yeah, now with the miracle know-how you can do it by tying six knots in a piece of string. Ain't modern living grand?
Det. Morris Bradbury:
Magic... gives me the shakes what you can buy in this town.
Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft:
Well, they said it would make things easier.
Det. Morris Bradbury:
And it has.

Cast a Deadly Spell - Detectives Discuss Ethics and Business Practices
Det. Harry Philip Lovecraft: [to his female client, whom the police have just arrested]
Sorry, angel, but I don't play the sap for anybody. Bad for business.
Det. Otto Grimaldi:
Hey, Lovecraft... too bad you're losing out on your fee! With a client like this, maybe you already collected... up front, if you know what I mean.
Det. Morris Bradbury: [arriving on the scene]
Get up, Grimaldi... people'll think you've never been socked by a dame before.

The Thing - Organism's Perfect Imitation Explained
Blair: [showing the remains of the dog-thing to the entire camp]
You see, what we're talkin about here is an organism that imitates other life-forms, and it imitates em perfectly. When this thing attacked our dogs it tried to digest them... absorb them, and in the process shape its own cells to imitate them. This for instance. That's not dog. It's imitation. We got to it before it had time to finish.
Norris:
Finish what?
Blair:
Finish imitating these dogs.

Se til helvete og kom dere vekk. Det er ikke en bikkje. Det er en slags ting! Det imiterer en bikkje. Det er ikke virkelig! Kom dere vekk, idioter! (Get the hell away. That's not a dog. It's some kind of thing! It's imitating a dog. It's not real! Get away, idiots!)
Clark:
I don't know what the hell's in there, but it's weird and pissed off, whatever it is.
Garry: [after passing the blood test]
I know you gentlemen have been through a lot. But when you find the time... I'd rather not spend the rest of the winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH!
Norris:
This is just what it wants! To pit us against each other!
Windows:
Are you guys gonna listen to Garry?! Are you gonna let him give the orders?! I mean, he can be one of those things!
Blair:
Hey, wait a minute. Wait a minute, man. I want to come back inside, don't you understand? I'm alright, I'm much better. And I won't harm anybody. Now you gotta let me come back inside.
