    Erle Kenton: You can't tame what's meant to be wild, Doc. It just ain't natural. Fred Francis: [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.

    Karen White: There was howling just a minute ago. Bill Neill: It was probably somebody's stray dog. Karen White: Not like any dog I've ever heard. It sounded like a wolf. Bill Neill: Honey, you're from Los Angeles. The wildest thing you've ever heard is Wolfman Jack. This is the country. There are no wolves here.

    Chris Dugan: We'll find out if any of Eddie's killings were on a full moon. Walter Paisley: Hey, that's a lot of Hollywood baloney. Your classic werewolf can change shape any time it wants, day and night, whenever it takes a notion to it. That's why they call 'em shapeshifters. I got a dozen books on it. Terri Fisher: What about killing it with silver bullets? Walter Paisley: Well, sure. Silver bullets or fire, that's the only way to get rid of the damn things. They're worse than cockroaches. They come back from the dead if you don't kill 'em right. Plus they regenerate, you know what that is? Cut off an arm, cut off a leg, stick a knife in the heart, nothing. They may look dead, but bam, three days later, they're as good as new. Chris Dugan: You believe in this? Walter Paisley: What am I, an idiot? I'm makin' a buck here. You want books, I got books. I got chicken blood, I got dog embryos, I got black candles, I got wolfbane. Look at this: silver bullets. Some joker ordered them. Thir

Terry Fisher: [notices the damage on the inside of the locker door] Look at the door! Chris Dugan: You think somebody took him? Morgue attendant: Well, he didn't just get up and walk away!

    Eddie Quist: Hello, bright boy. Chris Dugan: Eddie? Eddie Quist: You know me, and I don't know you. Now why is that? Chris Dugan: Where is she? Eddie Quist: Why? Is she your girlfriend? Chris Dugan: Just answer the question. Where's Terry? Eddie Quist: Just down the ritual center, down the path. That's where Wagner sends us to, uh, unwind. He's so repressed. Chris Dugan: What did you do to her? Eddie Quist: Why tell you, when I can show you. [points to tape recorder; sounds of growling and screaming] She's got a sexy voice. I like a woman with a sexy voice. I, uh...listen to this part here. [sound of Terry screaming] Chris Dugan: You're crazy! Eddie Quist: Oh, I'm much more than that, bright boy. I'm much more. [hands Chris his rifle] Here. Take it. For all the good it'll do you. Call it a gift. Come on. [pats his chest] Come on, bright boy. Lay one on me. Don't you know anything?

    Karen White: Where's Bill? And what have you done to him? Marsha Quist: He's one of us now. Dr. Waggner: 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. Dr. Waggner: You'd have Bill back; there's still time if you accept the gift.

    Jerry Warren: It was a mistake to bring her to the Colony. Erle Kenton: We should have stuck with the old ways. Raising cattle for our feed. Where's the life in that? Charlie Barton: The humans are our cattle. Erle Kenton: Humans are our prey. We should feed on them, like we've always done. Screw all this "channel your energies" crap. Dr. Waggner: But the danger of exposure! We need this shelter to plan! To catch up with society! Times have changed and we haven't! Not enough. Marsha Quist: Shut up, Doc! You wouldn't listen to me! None of you! "We can fit in," you said. "We can live with them!" You make me sick. Dr. Waggner: Marsha! Marsha Quist: Oh, you're through, Doc! She's ours now...for the taking.

    Karen White: Chris, run! They'll kill you! T.C. Quist: That gun won't do you any good, mister. Chris Dugan: Don't come any closer. Chris Dugan: I have silver bullets in here. Jerry Warren: Silver bullets, my ass! Get up, T.C.! Dr. Waggner: [to Karen] They're real. [approaches Chris] Chris Dugan: Don't come any closer, Doc, please. Dr. Waggner: [with a look of relief] Thank God... [collapses, dead]

    First man at bar: The things they do with special effects these days! Did you see the one about the guy in the spaceship? Second man at bar: It was real. She turned into a werewolf, and they shot her. First man at bar: You're plastered! Second man at bar: Doesn't mean it wasn't real. Third man at bar: Hey, Ernie? Put that pepper steak on for me, would you? And a hamburger for the lady. Ernie: How do ya want that? Third man at bar: How do you want it, honey? Marsha Quist: Rare. [smiles]
