Quotes 

• Carol Malone : [On phone]  Seven-fifty-nine, Sector C.

  Steve Malone : [Running down stairs]  Carol! We gotta go, we gotta get out of here! We gotta go right now!

  Carol Malone : Listen to me, Steve.

  Steve Malone : No, you don't understand! We gotta go!

  Carol Malone : Go where?

  Steve Malone : No, we gotta go! What the hell are you talking about?

  Carol Malone : Steve, this is important. Go where? That's right, go where? What happened in your room... Are you listening? What happened in your room is not an isolated incident. It is something that is happening everywhere.

  Steve Malone : What are you talking about?

  Carol Malone : So, where you gonna go? Where you gonna run? Where you gonna hide? Nowhere, 'cause there's no one like you left. That's right...

  Steve Malone : [Realizes that Carol is a pod person]  Oh, god.

  Carol Malone : That's right, that's good, you're listening now, that's very good. Okay, now I know you're frightened Steve. I know you're scared. That's okay, I understand that. You're confused. Let me tell you something, Steve. Let me tell you something. All that anger, all that fear, all that confusion, it's going to melt away. It's going to go away, Steve. It's going to go away. You go to sleep, you wake up. It's very simple. In the morning you'll wake up, you'll feel wonderful. We're going to be together, we'll be connected, we'll be close. No more fear. C'mon, let's go to bed, Steve...

  Steve Malone : [Begins weeping] 

  Marti Malone : [Runs down stairs]  Dad!

  Steve Malone : Get away from me! Get away from my kids!

  Carol Malone : [Screams to alert the other pod people] 

• Marti Malone : Dad?

  Steve Malone : I don't want to talk to you right now, I'm really angry with you right now.

  Marti Malone : Dad please...

  Steve Malone : No, I can't trust you, you come home drunk and you're an hour late.

  Marti Malone : I'm not drunk.

  Steve Malone : You're not drunk and you know the guy a hundred years...

  Marti Malone : I had ONE lousy beer and came home HALF an hour late! Big deal, I'm not a fucking 10 year old!

  Steve Malone : [grabs her]  DON'T use that language to me, you don't talk like that.

  Marti Malone : Why not? It's the only time you'll listen.

  Steve Malone : That's not true and you know it.

  Marti Malone : Bullshit! You never listen to me, I don't know why I bother talking to you.

• Marti Malone : I can't wait till I'm 18.

  Steve Malone : Why, you think you won't be my daughter anymore?

  Marti Malone : No, I'll still be your daughter, I just won't have to listen to you.

  Steve Malone : You don't listen to me now. Look, if you want to go so bad, you don't have to wait till you're 18, just go now.

  Marti Malone : You'd like that, huh? Then it'll just be the three of you.

  [leaves the table] 

• Major Collins : I'm interested in the kind of effects exposure to these chemicals can have on people.

  Steve Malone : Effects? You know, you got a lot of chemicals on this base, they're all pretty toxic. The effects physically, they can be devastating.

  Major Collins : I'm not talking physically, I'm referring to psychological effects.

  Steve Malone : I'm not following you.

  Major Collins : Can they effect the brain patterns, can they interfere with chemo-neurological processes? Can they foster psychoses, paranoias... narcophobias?

  Steve Malone : Well I'm a chemist, I'm not a psychiatrist, I don't know.

  Major Collins : Simply, can they alter a person's view of reality? Let me be frank, I'm seeing people at the infirmary, who are exhibiting, extreme delusional fixations. People afraid to sleep, people afraid to deal with family members, afraid *of* family members, uh, exhibiting, paranoia about others, about other people's identities, people afraid of themselves. Suddenly I've got a camp full of very deplaced people.

  Steve Malone : I don't know what you're seeing but it's not the PCBs. That phenomenon is not part of the symptomology.

  Major Collins : I need you to keep me up to date on your research, I'm worried about these... people.

  [turns and leaves] 

  Steve Malone : [under his breath]  Better take a vacation, doc.
