"In the meantime, I got this plan. It's called "Save Ass". And the way it works is this - I slip outta one of these windows and I run like a bastard!"

"Warden: [After punching Wilson out of a chair without the slightest provocation] He just slipped right out of the chair."

"Napoleon: [In sarcastic tone] Yeah, I don't sit in chairs as well as I used to."

"Wilson: Maybe you've been associating with the wrong kind of people."

"In my situation, days are like women - each one's so damn precious, but they all end up leaving you."

"I go through all that, and his gun isn't even loaded."

"Leigh: I've never had much faith in anyone coming to my rescue."

"Austin Stoker as Ethan Bishop"

"Wells: It might... If we don't flip a coin."

"September the 12th at 2 A.M. I've just placed a large male hustle roach into the tank to determine if copulation with the fire bug is possible. And I've simulated the atmosphere in which both insects should be able to function."

"September 16th, 4 A.M. The male is dead from the pressure, but the mating was successful. I'm about to depressurize to transfer the egg case. The fire bug... I'll keep it alive just as long as necessary."

"She wouldn't let me anywhere near it. That fire bug is protecting the egg case even though she's under terrific atmospheric pressure. It's incredible. You can almost feel her pain. Never mind. The egg should incubate at sea level pressure."

"September 18th, 10:20 A.M. The egg case has tripled in size in just 24 hours. I wonder... I wonder what kind of creatures this new generation will be. I've already decided to name them Parmiterra Hephaestus. Hephaestus for the Greek god of fire, Parmiterra for me."

"Jesse Vint as Tom Tacker"

"They've become adults in five hours, and they're a combination of both parents and are like either one. Elongated, brownish in color, with two tightened clone-like projections on their head. And spotted segments on the back."

"Today, I noticed that the females are at last carrying egg cases. They continue to listen to me, even to my voice on the tapes when I play them back. Now I know it's an irrational thought, but they even seem to watch me. And certainly lately, they've taken to forming different sorts of patterns."

"I've gone too far. The case is... They must be destroyed. It's cracked. I gotta have it fixed. I'm gonna fix it. I gotta get it all fixed."

"Bradford Dillman as Professor James Parmiter"

"The Parmiters will eat only raw meat, any kind. I'm not gonna have enough here to satisfy their appetites. I'm gonna have to get some more, but the astonishing fact is that they will only eat as a combined single unit."

"Joanna Miles as Carrie Parmiter"

"The Parmiters are sensing the more powerful. They seem to know they'll live only as long as I allow them to."

"Clusiot: You're Louis Dega. I'm Clusiot. How come you ended up in a place like this? Dega: Favoritism."

"Toussaint: We do a lot of smuggling here. We raid the mainland. We steal boats. When an outsider comes in we generally kill him, as a security measure. Papillon: That makes sense. Toussaint: Well... a man of Christian understanding."

"Papillon: If your wife was here and you were in Paris with all of that money how much would you pay to get her back? Dega: Everything I have. Papillon: And how much would she pay to get you back?"

"Dega: Remember what the chicken said to the weasel? Papillon: If he was a healthy weasel, the chicken didn't get a chance to say anything."

"Judge: I accuse you... of a wasted life. Papillon: Guilty. Judge: The penalty for that is death. Papillon: Guilty... guilty... guilty."
