"November 3. The seventh session was more than revealing. I think I have found a door, a passage, that connects Helvetia and the Desange's house. There is no rational explanation that supports this theory, but it is only the ability to embrace a different reality that makes science expand beyond the limits of what we know. However, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. I now feel closer than ever to the real subject of my research. I will come back from Clifton Forge with an answer."

"I thought with the aliens, you’d think, “I don’t want to sit next to that on the bus, they look insane, they look barbaric.” And then by the end of the film, you’ve done a 180 on your perception of them. And that’s why their design reflects that. They are gross. They are insect-like, which represents this sort of hive-structure society that they come from, and then they have a human sort of geometry to their face and eyes, so that at some point in the film, you can feel that there’s a sentient creature behind those eyes. So they have to have both of those two things, which is a bit of a balancing act."

"[on the phone] Yes, ma'am. I I need the police over at the Wheatley house, mmm. I've killed Doyle Hargraves with a lawnmower blade. Yes, ma'am, I'm right sure of it. I hit him two good whacks in the head with it. That second one just plum near cut his head in two... It's a lil' ol' white house on the corner of Vine Street and some other street. There's a pick-up truck out front that says "Doyle Hargraves Construction" on it. Doyle said besides sending the police, you might wanna send an ambulance or a "hearst". I'll be sitting here, waiting on ye."
