I thought you said if we destroyed the brain, it'd die!
It worked in the movie!
Well, it ain't working now, Frank!
You mean the movie lied?

Listen, there's a bunch of people from the cemetery who are stark, staring, mad, and they'll kill you and eat you if they catch you. It's like a disease. It's like rabies, only faster, a lot faster. That's why you've got to come and get us out of here now... right now!

You mean the movie lied?
You did what? You opened it? You stupid moron! You idiot! What's the matter with you Frank? Haven't I already told you never to even go near those goddamn tanks?
What are we gonna do, Burt?
I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to be sued by the Darrow Chemical Company. I might even be investigated by the government. I might become very famous. I might even lose my business. I might even go to jail, goddamn it! That's what I'm going to do!
What about the bones Ernie?
Bones are no problem. Hardest thing to burn is the heart.
A heart, why?
'cause it's just one big tough muscle.
Yeah, but Ernie, I mean, c'mon, we don't want the heart sticking around!
Then I'll turn it up hotter for the heart.
Man, look, how can we kill those things?
You don't.
Da **** you mean, "You don't"?
Burt.
You can't kill those mothers, they're already dead. You gotta understand they're not living creatures, they're animated. I mean, you can chop them up into pieces, the pieces would still come after you.
Oh, ****!
All you can do is just burn'em. You got to totally reduce them to ashes, so there's nothing left to come after you.
Man, there's a hundred of those ****ers!
Yeah, that is the question.
Burt...that favor you owe me?
Yeah.
Watch your ass out there.
