The Blob 1958 quotes

Steve Andrews

Listen, now listen to me, everybody, this town is in danger. Now, several people have been killed already! Now we – we had to make this noise so you would listen to us, so we could warn you!

If we're in trouble, where's the police?

Sgt. Jim Bert

You, boy, this time you really hung yourself.

Steve Andrews

Now, look, Sarge. Just give me a chance to talk to them, that's all.

Sgt. Jim Bert

I don't know what kind of stunt it is you're pulling here, but whatever it is, it's going to stop right now!

Officer Ritchie

Here comes Dave!

Lieutenant Dave

What's going on here, Jim? Steve!

Steve Andrews

Dave, make them listen to me. There IS a monster! We saw it again at dad's store, and it's bigger now!

Sgt. Jim Bert

Your story's gotten bigger now, kid.

Steve Andrews

Dave, look at me! Do I look like somebody's playing a practical joke? Am I laughing, or am I scared stiff?

Lieutenant Dave

He's telling the truth.

Steve Andrews

Dave! Doc Hallen's been killed!

Lieutenant Dave

Doc Hallen? What happened?

Steve Andrews

It's over at his place! You've gotta come now!

Lieutenant Dave

Now wait a minute, Steve. Tell us what happened.

Steve Andrews

I'm trying to tell you – that this thing has killed the Doc!

Sgt. Jim Bert

What was it?! Out with it, kid!

Steve Andrews

Well it's kind of a... It's kind of a mass. It keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Lieutenant Dave

Come on, Steve, make sense.

Steve Andrews

I know, I know! Look, Dave, you gotta see this thing to believe what I'm telling you.

Sgt. Jim Bert

Maybe this thing you saw was a... monster?

Steve Andrews

Yeah, maybe it was. I don't know.

Lieutenant Dave

Hold on, Jim. Now what is this, Steve? A little while ago it was driving backwards, now it's monsters.

Jane Martin

He's not making it up, Dave, honest!

Steve Andrews

Dave, I'm not kidding you, I swear, come out to the Doc's. You can see it for yourself.

Sgt. Jim Bert

You're crazy if you go. Can't you see it's a gag?

Lieutenant Dave

He says Doc Hallen's dead, Jim. We've got to check it out. Let's go.

Lieutenant Dave

At least we've got it stopped.

Steve Andrews

Yeah, as long as the Arctic stays cold.

Steve Andrews

CO2 ... It's cold! That's why it didn't come in the ice box after us, it can't stand cold!

Jane Martin

Oh, Steve, our parents! They think we're home in bed asleep, sound and safe.

Dr. T. Hallen

Kate? It's Dr. Hallen, I'm still at the office... something's come up. I need you back here right away. No, you've got to come back, Kate. There's a man here with some sort of a parasite on his arm, assimilating his flesh at a frightening speed. I may have to get ahead of it and amputate. No... I don't know what it is or where it came from.

Lieutenant Dave

I think you should send us the biggest transport plane you have, and take this thing to the Artic or somewhere and drop it where it will never thaw.

Beware of the Blob! It creeps, and leaps, and glides and slides across the floor.

Beware of the Blob! It creeps, and leaps, and glides and slides across the floor.

Steve Andrews

Dad, it isn't vandalism! Doctor Hallen is dead, and he was killed by some sort of a monster! Now, I know because I saw it, Dad.

Steve Andrews

How do you get people to protect themselves from something they don't believe in?

Indescribable... Indestructible! Nothing Can Stop It!

Indescribable... indestructible... insatiable.

It crawls... It creeps... It eats you alive!

Lieutenant Dave

Just because some kid smacks into your wife on the turnpike doesn't make it a crime to be 17 years old.
