General Rogard: You'll be Chief Inspector of Subway Toilets by the time I'm through with you!
Marv Loach: United States Government, eh? That must mean something big is happening here.
Kent Mansley: No, Marv. Big things happen in big places, and the sooner I file my report, the sooner I can get back to them.
General Rogard: [the U.S. Military proves unable to take down the Giant] Nothing can stop this thing! We've hit it with everything we got!
Kent Mansley: Not everything, General. The Bomb. The Nautilus has first strike capability and is anchored just off shore.
General Rogard: [Taken aback] ... You scare me, Mansley. You want us to
bomb ourselves in order to kill it?
Kent Mansley: The robot seems to go after whatever attacks it. We can lure it away from the town, then destroy it.
General Rogard: [Considers the thought for a moment, then to a soldier;] Radio the Nautilus. Tell them to stand by and await my command.
Hogarth Hughes: [opens the door for Kent] Kent Mansley, you work for the government.
Kent Mansley: I... wasn't going to say that. I have something for you, Hogarth.
Annie Hughes: Your B-B gun. Where did you find it?
Kent Mansley: Over at the power station.
Annie Hughes: Hogarth was
there the other night.
Kent Mansley: Really? See anything unusual there, Hogarth?
Hogarth Hughes: No... thing unusual, really.

Hogarth Hughes: Gotta use the bathroom!

Hogarth Hughes: Gotta use the bathroom!
Atomic Holocaust Narrator: [singing a bomb drill ditty] Time to duck and cover, the bombs are comin' down. The radiation shower will pour throughout your town. Hands over your head; keep low to the ground. Time to duck and cover, the bombs are comin' down. Duck and cover. Duck and cover. Get under the desk with your sister and your brother. Duck and cover. Duck and cover. Hands
over your head; keep low to the ground. And all the kids who don't will cease to be around.
Kent Mansley: Hey, where you going? Where you going, champ, chief, slugger? Where you going? Where you going?
Hogarth Hughes: I'm going out!
Annie Hughes: Well, why don't you take Mr. Mansley with you? You can show him the sights.
Hogarth Hughes: Awwww, Mom, the sights?
Dean McCoppin: Thanks for the scrap, Floyd. I'm sorry I can't pay you more, but it's got... it's got this large "bite" out of it.
Floyd Turbeaux: That's why I'm selling it. It's got a large bite out of it.
Dean McCoppin: Yeah, right. What could have done this?
Earl Stutz: I told you what.
Dean
McCoppin: Oh, yeah. Strange invaders.
Earl Stutz: Thanks for believin' me. I really did call the government. They're sending someone over to take care of the whole thing.
Dean McCoppin: Jeez, Earl, you really are crazy. I mean, who in the hell would the government send?
Kent Mansley: Two nights ago, at approximateley 1900 hours, S.A.T com radar detected an unidentified flying object entering Earth's atmosphere, losing contact with it two-and-a-half miles off the coast of Rockwell. Some assumed it was a large meteor, or a downed satelite, but my office in Washington received a call from someone reporting an actual encounter with the object. This
is no meteor, gentlemen. This is something much more serious.
Hogarth Hughes: Well, goodbye.
[Hogarth starts walking away, the Giant follows him]
Hogarth Hughes: No, no. Me go, you stay. No following. Good.
[Hogarth walks, the Giant still follows him]
Hogarth Hughes: I told you! I'll come back tomorrow! Now, stay!
[Hogarth leaves, the Giant follows him]
Hogarth Hughes: No, no, no! Bad robot!
