• Nauls : Where are we goin'?

  MacReady : Up to my shack.

  Nauls : What the hell for?

  MacReady : 'Cause when I left yesterday, I turned the lights off!

  [Nauls looks and sees the lights on in MacReady's shack] 

• MacReady : I don't know. Thousands of years ago it crashes, and this thing... gets thrown out, or crawls out, and it ends up freezing in the ice.

  Childs : I just cannot believe any of this voodoo bullshit.

  Palmer : Childs, happens all the time, man. They're falling out of the skies like flies. Government knows all about it, right, Mac?

  Childs : You believe any of this voodoo bullshit, Blair?

  Palmer : Childs, Childs... Chariots of the Gods, man. They practically own South America. I mean, they taught the Incas everything they know.

  Garry : So, come on now, MacReady, Norwegians get ahold of this... and they dig it up out of the ice.

  MacReady : Yes, Garry, they dig it up, they cart it back, it gets thawed out, it wakes up... probably not the best of moods... I don't know, I wasn't there!

  Nauls : [skates in with ripped long johns]  Which one of you disrespectful men been tossing his dirty drawers in the kitchen trash can, huh? From now, I want my kitchen clean, all right? Germ free!

  Childs : So how's this motherfucker wake up after thousands of years in the ice?

  George Bennings : And how can it look like a dog?

  MacReady : I don't know how. 'Cause it's different than us, see? 'Cause it's from outer space. What do you want from me? Ask him!

  [motions to Blair] 

  Childs : You buy any of this Blair?

• Nauls : Maybe we at war with Norway?
