"The most terrifying thing about THE SWARM is that it is based on Fact: It exists. Fact: It has awesome destructive power. Fact: We don't know how to stop it."

"This is more than a movie. It's a prediction!"

"Olivia de Havilland — Maureen Schuster"

"By tomorrow there will be no more Africans... at least not in the Houston sector."

"Attention! Attention! This is Miss Schuster. Please listen very carefully. A swarm of killer bees is coming this way."

"Houston on fire. Will history blame me, or the bees?"

"We've been fighting a losing battle against the insects for fifteen years, but I never thought I'd see the final face-off in my lifetime. And I never dreamed, that it would turn out to be the bees. They've always been our friend."

"It's more than a speculation - it's a prediction!"

"Bees, bees, what a lot of bees."

"[About the killer bees] We have been invaded, by an enemy far more lethal than any human force."

"... is here!"

"Look, what I do for a living isn't important. What is important, critical, is that there are probably other invading swarms and what these bees did here, they can do again, all over the Southwest and, ultimately, all over the country."

"Monsters by the millions - and they're all for real!"
