Garry I've got six dead Norwegians on my hands, a burned up flying saucer, and we've just destroyed the scientific find of the century. Now **** off!

8 scenes Garry Garry [after passing the blood test]
I know you gentlemen have been through a lot. But when you find the time... I'd rather not spend the rest of the winter tied to this **** couch!
Garry How long have they been stationed there?
Fuchs
Says here about eight weeks.
Garry That's not enough time for guys to go bonkers.
Nauls
Bullshit. Five minutes is enough to put a man over down here.
Damn straight.
Nauls
I mean Palmer been the way he is since the first day.
Garry You reach anybody yet?
Sanchez
We're a thousand miles from anybody else, man. It's going to get a hell of a lot worse before it gets better.
So, MacReady, come on now. These Norwegian dudes come by... find him and dig him up...
Yeah, they dig him up and cart him back. He gets thawed out, wakes up and scares the shit out of them. And they get into one hell of a brawl...
Now how's this mother****er wake up after thousands of years in the ice, huh?
[annoyed]
I don't know how. Because he's different than we are. Because he's a space guy. What do you want from me, anyway. Go ask Blair.
You buy any of this, Blair?
It was here... got to that dog... It was here in this camp...
Garry So...? So what? It's over with.
Bennings
[Blair turns to them. A pause.] [edgy]
Well, isn't it?
Dr. Copper
Somebody got to the blood... sabotaged it.
Was it broken into?
Fuchs
No. Somebody opened it. Closed it. And then locked it.
Well, who's got access to it?
Dr. Copper
I guess I'm the only one.
Garry And I've got the only key.
Would that test have worked?
Dr. Copper
I think so.
Norris
Somebody else sure as hell thought so.
I don't know. Thousands of years ago it crashes, and this thing... gets thrown out, or crawls out, and it ends up freezing in the ice.
I just cannot believe any of this voodoo bullshit.
Childs, happens all the time, man. They're falling out of the skies like flies. Government knows all about it, right, Mac?
You believe any of this voodoo bullshit, Blair?
Childs, Childs... Chariots of the Gods, man. They practically own South America. I mean, they taught the Incas everything they know.
Garry So, come on now, MacReady, Norwegians get ahold of this... and they dig it up out of the ice.
Yes, Garry, they dig it up, they cart it back, it gets thawed out, wakes up - probably not the best of moods - I don't know, I wasn't there!
Nauls
[skates in with ripped long johns]
Which one of you disrespectful men been tossing his dirty drawers in the kitchen trash can, huh? From now, I want my kitchen clean, all right? Germ free!
So how's this mother****er wake up after thousands of years in the ice?
Bennings
And how can it look like a dog?
I don't know how. 'Cause it's different than us, see? 'Cause it's from outer space. What do you want from me? Ask him! [motions to Blair]
You buy any of this Blair?
Blair... he got back inside and blew the generator. In six hours, it'll be 100 below in here!
Garry Well, that's suicide!
Not for that Thing. It wants to freeze now. It's got no way out of here. It just wants to go to sleep in the cold until the rescue team finds it.
Garry What can we do? What can we do?
Whether we make it or not, we can't let the Thing freeze again. Maybe we'll just warm things up a little around here. We're not gettin' outta here alive. But neither is that Thing.
