View Quote Lt. Harper: It was a saucer.
Poiliceman: A flying saucer?
Larry: What makes you say that?
Lt. Harper: You remember the noise we heard the other night?
Larry: We were knocked to the ground, how could I forget?
Lt. Harper: Exactly, but you're not remembering that sound.
Larry: There you're wrong, Lieutenant. I'm with the fact the sound is similar, but what about the blinding light?
Lt. Harper: Well haven't you heard? Many times a saucer hasn't had a glow, or a light of any kind for that matter.
Larry: That proves it.
View Quote Larry: Strange. If someone had broken in, the dirt should be piled up here somewhere. It looks like it's fallen in, into the grave.
Lt. Harper: Larry, you'll be out of that uniform before you know it.
View Quote Gen. Roberts: Sit down. I understand, Colonel, you've been on tap for many of our saucer attacks.
Col. Edwards: I'm in charge of field operations, Sir.
Gen. Roberts: You believe there are such things as flying saucers, Colonel?
Col. Edwards: Yessir.
Gen. Roberts: You've seen them?
Col. Edwards: Yessir.
Gen. Roberts: You realize there's a government directive stating that there is no such thing as a flying saucer?
Col. Edwards: Yessir.
Gen Roberts: Do you stand by your statement that you've seen flying saucers?
Col. Edwards: Well, uh, yessir.
Gen. Roberts: This could mean a court marshall. Admitting this against direct orders.
Col. Edwards: General Roberts, may I speak freely?
Gen. Roberts: You may.
Col. Edwards: How could I hope to hold down my command if I didn't believe in what I saw and shot at?
Gen. Roberts: I, uh, like you Colonel.
Col. Edwards: Thank you, Sir.
Gen. Roberts: There are flying saucers. There's no doubt they are in our skies. They've been there for some time.
Col. Edwards: What're we going to do about them?
Gen. Roberts: Who knows?
View Quote Gen. Roberts: You ever been to Hollywood?
Col. Edwards: Oh a couple of times. A few years ago.
Gen. Roberts: You're going to be there in the morning. Just a few minutes from Hollywood, in the town of San Fernando, reports have come in of saucers flying so low the exhaust knocked people to the ground. There have even been stated claims of saucer landings. Major Carlson will replace you while you're out there. You're the best man for the job of attempting to contact them. Find them, Colonel. See what in hell it is they want!
View Quote Kelton: Did you see that thing? Did you get it?
Lt. Harper: We got it.
Kelton: What was it? It didn't fall...I fired every bullet I had.
Lt. Harper: So did I. I don't know what it was or what happened, but unless that bag of bones can reassemble itself, it's out of the running now.
View Quote Lt. Harper: [at the cemetery] Colonel I've been out here so often you'd think I'd taken a lease on this place.
Col. Edwards: Not a long lease, I hope.
Lt. Harper: I see what you mean. But you know, I can't help but feel the answer's out here somewhere.
Col. Edwards: Is the, uh, girl safe?
Lt. Harper: Mrs. Trent you'd better stay with the car.
Paula: Stay here alone? Not on your life.
Lt. Harper: Modern women...
Col. Edwards: Yeah, they been that way all down through the ages. Especially in a spot like this.
View Quote Jeff: Now you stay close to the officer, Honey.
Paula: I'd feel safer with you.
Jeff: Now the Lieutenant knows best.
Paula: Oh I don't like it, but I guess there isn't much I can do about it.
View Quote Col. Edwards: [at Clay's grave] Looks to me like someone had broken out instead of in.
Lt. Harper: I figured that, but that's impossible!
Col. Edwards: I wonder.
Lt. Harper: Look, Colonel, some things just can't happen.
Col. Edwards: Yeah, well after that apparition that was draped across Mr. Trent's patio, I would say we should keep our minds open to anything.
Lt. Harper: Look, Colonel, I'm a policeman. I've got to deal in facts. But, I guess I'll have to go along with you. You know I bet my badge right now we haven't seen the last of those weirdies.
View Quote Jeff: You goin' in that thing?
Col. Edwards: That's what we're here for.
Jeff: I don't know, the way these things speed around we might just get in there and pft! Off it goes.
Col. Edwards: That's a chance we take.
Lt. Harper: Well, I took a chance on those earlier airplanes. Might just as well see what the inside of one of these looks like. Got your guns ready?
Jeff: I tell you one thing, if a little green man jumps out at me I'm shooting first and asking questions later.
View Quote Lt. Harper: Now you two stay right where you're at.
Eros: We will do as you command. For the moment.
Lt. Harper: No for the moment about it. You just do as I tell you.
Eros: You do not need guns. They would be of no use to you now.
Lt. Harper: They've been mighty useful before on flesh and blood, and you two look like you've got a lot of both.
Eros: True, they would be effective upon us. If you were to have the opportunity to use them.
Jeff: Mister, if you don't get away from that control board I'll show you just how effective they can be.
View Quote Larry: Holy cow! Look there. It's Clay all right, there's no mistaking that.
Kelton: And he's got Mrs. Trent!
Larry: Get your gun ready.
Kelton: From all I've seen tonight guns won't do any good. Clay is dead, and we buried him. How are we going to kill somebody that's already dead? Dead! And yet there he stands! That other one earlier I emptied a full clip into him .
Larry: I'm seeing it, that's the only reason I'm listening to you. Look, I've got an idea. Hurt him or not, we've got to try something. I'm going to sneak up behind him and whop him over the head. That oughta make him move. Follow me. Even when Clay was alive he couldn't run fast enough to catch me, so when he does, you grab Mrs. Trent and run like lightning in the opposite direction.
Kelton: Oh, you think it will work?
Larry: Know anything else to try?
View Quote Lt. Harper: Oh, I wonder if that's the last we'll see of them?
Col. Edwards: Perhaps, but sooner or later there'll be others.
