"There might not be any grown-ups around when the Bomb explodes. Then... you're on your own."

"Now we must be ready for a new danger: the atomic bomb."

"It's a bomb! Duck and cover!"

"Sally Hawkins — Elisa Esposito"

"It's not the creature, I don't think that creature is designed in a way that he can be a romantic lead. It's beautiful, but it's not a romantic lead."

"Richard Jenkins — Giles"

"Octavia Spencer — Zelda Fuller"

"When I was in my 30s, I went to Universal and I said, "Can we do the movie from the point of view of the creature?" They didn't go for it. I said, "I think they should end up together." They didn't go for that, either."

"[to Elisa] Yeah. That's good. Keep that up. Lookin' like you don't know anything."

"[repeated line] This is some of my best work."

"Experience a connection beyond words."

"[to Elisa and Zelda; about the Amphibian Man] Let me say this up front: You clean that lab, you get out. The thing we keep in there is an affront. Do you know what an affront is, Zelda? [Zelda: Something offensive?] That's right. And I should know, I dragged that... filthy thing... out of the river muck in South America all the way here. And along the way we didn't get to like each other much. Now. You may think, "That thing looks Human". Stands on two legs, right? But... we're created in the Lord's image. You don't think that's how the Lord looks like, do you?"

"There he is. Dr. Fucking Shitbird."

"Get him out? What are you talking about? No! Absolutely not. Because it's breaking the law, that's why. We're probably breaking the law just talking about it."

"He's a wild creature. We can't ask him to be anything else."

"Man is as silent as the grave. But if farts were flattery? Honey, he'd be Shakespeare"

"[to Elisa] Oh! Woman, we gon' burn in hell!"

"The creature was the most beautiful design I'd ever seen, and I saw him swimming under Julie Adams, and I loved that the creature was in love with her, and I felt an almost existential desire for them to end up together. Of course, it didn't happen."

"Michael Shannon — Colonel Richard Strickland"

"You know, sometimes I think I was either born too early or too late for my life."

"Doug Jones — The Anphibian"

"If I told you about her, what would I say? That they lived happily ever after? I believe they did. That they were in love, that they remained in love? I'm sure that's true. But when I think of her, of Elisa, the only thing that comes to mind is a poem, whispered by someone in love hundreds of years ago. Unable to perceive the shape of you, I find you all around me. Your presence fills my eyes with your love. It humbles my heart, for you are everywhere."

"I do not fail. I deliver."

"[to Elisa] Whatever this thing is, you need it."

"[interpreting Elisa] When he looks at me, the way he looks at me, he does not know what I lack... or how... I am incomplete. He sees me for what I am, as I am. He's happy to see me, every time, every day. And now, I can either save him... or let him die."

"If I spoke about it... if I did... what would I tell you? I wonder. Would I tell you about the time? It happened a long time ago, it seems, in the last days of a fair prince's reign. Or would I tell you about the place? A small city near the coast... but far from everything else. Or, I don't know. Would I tell you about her? The princess without voice. Or perhaps I would just warn you about the truth of these facts... and the tale of love and loss... and the monster who tried to destroy it all."

"A Fairy Tale for Troubled Times."

"Short people are mean. I never met a short man that stays nice all the way through. No sir. Mean little backstabbers, all of 'em. Maybe it's the air down there. Not enough oxygen or somethin'."

"Some of the best minds in the country peein' all over the floor in this facility here"

"[To Giles] If we do nothing, neither we are."

"[to Strickland] F-U-C-K Y-O-U"

"[From Trailer] The Natives in Amazon worshiped it. Like a God. We need to take it apart, learn how it works"

"[After Elisa offers him a towel] Oh, no. No, a man washes his hands before or after tending to his needs. It tells you a lot about man. He does it both times-it points a weakness in character."

"[Last words, to the Amphibian Man before being killed by him] Fuck. You are a god."

"There's been a run on tinned food, sugar, and other storable items, which is causing shortages in some areas. A spokesman for the main supermarket chain said that panic buying is unnecessary. Fuel shortages are hindering resupply in some areas, but overall there is no shortage of stocks. They urge the public to calm down, be patient [...]"

"Since the expiry of the American ultimatum to the Soviet Union at noon yesterday, there have been intense diplomatic efforts to mediate between the two countries. There is still no information from Iran itself: no news teams have been allowed in or out of the country since phone and telex links were cut on Friday evening. Questioned in the House this morning, the Foreign Secretary said he had no definite news to report, and that it would be unhelpful to speculate in the absence of any hard information from the area."

"In response to today's news of the outbreak of hostilities between vessels of the United States and Soviet navies, a special session of parliament has this evening passed an Emergency Powers Act. There'll be a special announcement at the end of this bulletin, and details will be given then of how this affects you. The Prime Minister is expected to address the nation on the international crisis later this evening. A statement, issued earlier from Downing Street, said the government is optimistic that a peaceful, negotiated settlement to the conflict is at hand. In the meantime, the public is urged to remain calm, and to continue normally."
