[on the phone after Karen freezes during a newscast]

Who knows? Maybe she's pregnant. Listen, get in touch with that Fujiama, Fujimoto, or whatever the hell her name is and get her ready for the 11:00 report.

[looks in what was Eddie Quist's morgue locker]

He's not here!

Morgue attendant

He was here this morning!

Terry Fisher
[notices the damage on the inside of the locker door]

Look at the door!

You think somebody took him?

Morgue attendant

Well, he didn't just get up and walk away!

I've got silver bullets in here. [points his rifle]

Jerry Warren

Silver bullets my ass! Get up, T.C.!

We should have stuck with the old ways. Raising cattle for our feed. Where's the life in that?

Charlie Barton

Humans are our cattle.

Humans are our prey We should feed on them, like we've always done. Screw all this "channel your energies" crap.

Jerry Warren

We should have stuck with the old ways. Raising cattle for our feed. Where's the life in that?

There was howling just a minute ago.

Bill Neill

It didn't sound like any dog I've ever heard before

Bill Neill

Honey, you're from Los Angeles. The wildest thing you've ever heard is Wolfman Jack. This is the country.

Where's Bill? And what have you done to him?

He's one of us now.

In given time, he would've brought you over to us; our secret would be safe.

Donna

It's wonderful, Karen. When I was first bitten, I fought against it and so did Jerry. And then we found the Doctor. He helped us. He helped us to adjust. You see, Karen, he understands all about the gift. He knows how to use it... how to control it.

You'd have Bill back; there's still time if you accept the gift.

[last lines, after Karen transforms and is shot on live television]

The things they do with special effects these days! Did you see the one about the guy in the spaceship?

Second man at bar

First man at bar

You're plastered!

Second man at bar

Third man at bar

How do you want it, honey?

Rare. [smiles]

[about his occult bookstore]

We get 'em all: sun-worshippers, moon-worshippers, Satanists. The Manson family used to hang around and shoplift. Bunch of deadbeats!
