Dr. Miles J. BennellIn my practice, I've seen how people have allowed their humanity to drain away. Only it happened slowly instead of all at once. They didn't seem to mind... All of us - a little bit - we harden our hearts, grow callous. Only when we have to fight to stay human do we realize how precious it is to us, how dear.

Dr. HillGet on your radios and sound an all points alarm. Block all highways, stop all traffic, and call every law enforcement agency in the state.

Dr. HillOperator, get me the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Yes, it's an emergency!

Ambulance DriverWe had to dig him out from under the most peculiar things I ever saw.
Dr. HillWhat things?
Ambulance DriverWell, I don't know what they are; I never saw them before. They looked like great big seed pods.
Dr. HillWhere was the truck coming from?
Ambulance DriverSanta Mira.

Dr. Miles J. BennellI've been afraid a lot of times in my life. But I didn't know the real meaning of fear until... until I had kissed Becky.

Becky DriscollIs this an example of your bedside manner, doctor?
Becky DriscollI don't want to live in a world without love or grief or beauty, I'd rather die.

Dr. Miles J. BennellThis is the oddest thing I've ever heard of. Let's hope we don't catch it. I'd hate to wake up some morning and find out that you weren't you.
Becky Driscoll[laughs]I'm not the high school kid you used to romance, so how can you tell?
Dr. Dan 'Danny' KauffmanThe mind is a strange and wonderful thing. I'm not sure it will ever be able to figure itself out. Everything else maybe, from the atom to the universe. Everything except itself.

Wilma LentzThere's no emotion. None. Just the pretense of it. The words, the gesture, the tone of voice, everything else is the same, but not the feeling.

Dr. Miles J. BennellEven these days, it isn't as easy to go crazy as you might think. But you don't have to be losing your mind to need psychiatric help.

Dr. Miles J. BennellListen to me! Please listen! If you don't, if you won't, if you fail to understand, then the same incredible terror that's menacing me WILL STRIKE AT YOU!

Becky DriscollMiles, why don't you call Danny? Maybe he can help.
Dr. Miles J. BennellDanny? No. The way he was behaving last night... I'm afraid it's too late to call Danny too.
Dr. Miles J. BennellAnd so I ran. I ran, I ran, I ran! I ran as little Jimmy Grimaldi ran the other day.

Dr. Miles J. Bennell[having returned from finding that large numbers of pods are being grown in greenhouses, to Becky who, exhausetd, had fallen asleep in his absence]I've been afraid a lot of times in my life, but I didn't know the real meaning of fear until... until I had kissed Becky.
Jack BelicecStop trying to rationalize everything, will ya? Let's face it, we have a mystery on our hands!
Dr. Dan 'Danny' KauffmanSure you have. A real one! Whose body was it, and where is it now? A completely normal mystery. Whatever it is, it's well within the bounds of human experience, and I don't think you ought to make any more of it.
Dr. Miles J. BennellLook, I wouldn't if I hadn't looked in Becky's cellar! How do you explain away the body I saw there?
Dr. Dan 'Danny' KauffmanI don't think you saw one there.
Dr. Miles J. Bennell[grabs Dr. Bassett]Doctor! Will you tell these fools I am NOT crazy? Make them listen to me while there's still time!

Dr. Miles J. BennellWell, it started, for me it started last Thursday. In response to an urgent message from my nurse I'd hurried home from a medical convention I'd been attending. At first glance, everything looked the same. It wasn't. Something evil had taken possession of the town.
Dr. Miles J. BennellI don't know, maybe I clown around too much, pretty soon my patients won't trust me to prescribe aspirin for them. Seriously, what's the trouble?
Grandma GrimaldiAn hour ago I found him hiding in the cellar having hysterics, he wouldn't tell me anything until I started to phone his mother. That's when he said Anna wasn't his mother.

Dr. Dan 'Danny' KauffmanYou say it as if it were terrible. Believe me, it isn't. You've been in love before. It didn't last. It never does. Love, desire, ambition, faith... Without them, life is so simple. Believe me.
