精彩片段對白：

Hoffstetler: We need to delay the procedure.

Strickland: Knock before you enter my office.

Hoffstetler: This is urgent!

Strickland: Go back out. Knock. Then I'll let you in and we'll talk. That’s the protocol. Follow the protocol. Come in.

Hoffstetler: I...

Strickland: Could you get the door for me, please? See? That's the way. Now we talk.

Hoffstetler: I need more time.

Strickland: Don't let the fact that you feel like a loser now, that you let your competitive tendency...

Hoffstetler: I'm not competitive! I don't want an intricate, beautiful thing destroyed.

Strickland: This thing dies. You learn. I leave. Outta here. I settle down. My family settles down. Somewhere nice. A real city.

Hoffstetler: This creature is intelligent. Capable of language...of understanding emotions.

Strickland: So are the Soviets, the Gooks. And we still kill them, don't we? The bottom line is, this isn't a petting zoo. And I don't want to be in this shithole any longer than need be. Do you? Bob... Do you?

Hoffstetler: No, I don't.

Yolanda: Hey, what are you waiting for?

Zelda: Have you seen Elisa?

Yolanda: Come on, Zelda.

Hoffstetler: Did you move the camera? On the loading dock? Is that where you're taking him? Through the service tunnels? That's very smart. Who do you work for? This water must be kept at five to eight percent salinity. Table salt will do. Mix one of these in his water every three days. Raw protein diet is a must. In five minutes, I'll meet you at the loading dock. The lights will go out, so be prepared.

Fleming: M-Mr. Strickland, sir... Twelve hours to the vivisection of the asset, and to... I-I need your signature here, please.

Soldier: Hold it right there. Michael Parker. Is that you?

Giles: My whole life.

Zelda: Are you out of your mind? Don't do this, Elisa. Don't do this!

Strickland: What's that... What's that vehicle?

Fleming: Uh, gosh, sir, I'm not sure, it's... A laundry van? B-But it's-it's not scheduled. Sir!

Strickland: Meet me at the loading dock.

Fleming: Sir! Sir, what do you need me to...

Strickland: Get backup.

Soldier: Step out of the vehicle, sir.

Giles: Oh, God, I'm not good at this.

Soldier: Out of the vehicle, now! I will not say it again.

Giles: God, please don't shoot me.

Soldier: Get out!

Giles: Oh, God, don't shoot me.

Hoffstetler: What are you waiting for? We're out of time.

Soldier: Get out now!

Hoffstetler: We have to go. Hurry!

Zelda: Oh, woman, we're gonna burn in hell! Come on, push! Push! Push!

Giles: I swear I'm not doing this on purpose. Mechanical objects and I just don't get along! What?

Hoffstetler: She's waiting for you at the dock. Go! Now!

Giles: Okay, I will. Who's that man? I think he just killed someone. Oh! Oh, my God, oh, my God! Are we ready? Are we ready? He's so beautiful. Huh?! Oh! Uh! Did I do that? I'm just not good at this.

Soldier: Move! Move!
