The Stand

Major Len Carsleigh: We found him; we located Campion. He crash-landed on a one-stoplight town in East Texas. Lieutenant General William "Billy" Starkey: He made it halfway across the country. How'd he do that? MAJ Carsleigh: I don't know. But the important thing is, right now, we got a shot at containing this. LTG Starkey: Is he dead or alive? MAJ Carsleigh: He's dead. LTG Starkey: Denninger says this thing has a communicability rate of over 99%. You understand what that means? Any chance of containing this went by the window when Campion bought his first takeout burger. MAJ Carsleigh: We can't think that way, Billy. LTG Starkey: Yeah, you're right. Of course you are. What about the rest of his family? MAJ Carsleigh: They're dead, sir. Contact with the townspeople was minimal. LTG Starkey: That doesn't matter. We're gonna have to shut that town down, lock it up, dig a moat around it. MAJ Carsleigh: That operation's already on the launching pad, sir. LTG Starkey: What kinda coverage yo

Dr. Herbert Denninger: Mr. Stuart Redman, Dr. Herbert Denninger. Would you mind accompanying us, please? Stu Redman: Hey. You wanna take your hand off my arm, hoss? Dr. Herbert Denninger: [To the soldier accompanying him] He was one of the men who had direct contact with Campion; put him in the truck. If he resists- Stu Redman: I ain't gonna resist. Country don't mean dumb.

MAJ Carsleigh: We have a rather large problem in Wyoming, sir. LTG Starkey: What large problem is that, Len? MAJ Carsleigh: News team got out of Pine Bluff with some potentially damaging video tapes, sir. LTG Starkey: Flu victims, body dumps? MAJ Carsleigh: Little of both. And our ops, I'm told. LTG Starkey: Well, we can't have that. Showing footage like that would not be in the national interest! MAJ Carsleigh: Absolutely not, sir. LTG Starkey: Well, do we know where these news people, these rabble rousers are now? MAJ Carsleigh: Yes, sir, we do. LTG Starkey: Get that video tape, Len. By any means necessary. Make it a priority. MAJ Carsleigh: Yes, sir.

Dr. Denninger: Patty Greer says you've given her… quite a bit of trouble. She's quite upset. Stu Redman: Well, that makes two of us. Being hijacked by a bunch of government sons of bitches in spacesuits does that to me every time. So, if you don't wanna see how quick I can rip a hole in that thing 'fore you can get outta here, you better give me a little information.

When I was a boy, we caught ourselves a mountain lion back up in the hills. We shot it, 'n' dragged it back to town. What was left of that critter when we got home was the sorriest lookin' sight I've ever seen. You the second sorriest, boy.
