Quote from Strudwick

Strudwick: Tommy, I know I've shown you nothing but contempt, but I love you. Welcome to the family.
Tommy: There's something out there!
Dick: I want to feel the baby kick.
Alissa: The what?
Tommy: Dick, she's not pregnant! But there's something evil outside!
Dick: Not pregnant? No! Vincent, are you as devastated as I am?
Strudwick: Frankly, Dick, I'm kind of relieved.
Tommy: I'm telling you we're not safe!
Dick: Are you abandoning me? We were in this together.
Strudwick: We were in bed. I was vulnerable.
Dick: Oh, screw you, Pop-pop!
Strudwick: In your eye, Gee-gaw!

Quote from Sally

Tommy: Will you people shut up? We're in horrible danger!
Harry: What's all the commotion, everybody?
Sally: Anybody need any help?
Tommy: Did you guys see? There's something out there.
Alissa: It's terrifying.
Sally: Uh... which part of the terror did you find most romantic?
Alissa: Romantic? He tried to sacrifice me to the creature.
Sally: She called us "The Creature."
Harry: Our work is done.

Quote from Tommy

Dick: Look, it's been a long night of dashed dreams and close calls. The important thing is that we're all safe and sound. And no one has been harmed.
Mary: [enters] Why did you leave me! [all scream]
Tommy: It's her! It's the creature! [all scream]

Quote from Dick

Dick: Well, I'll be damned if Strudwick becomes a grandfather before I do. Oh, Tommy, look. There's one waiting for the bus. She's the perfect mate. Hey, you! Bus girl!
Sally: Dick, what is the attraction about being a grandfather anyway?
Dick: Grandchildren are vessels of youth, optimism, and hope. And the wonderful thing is by the time they screw up their lives, you're either dead or completely out if it.
Harry: People don't say that enough.
Dick: Tommy, look. There's another prospect.
Tommy: That's Dubczek.
Dick: Oh. Man, she fools you from behind.
