MacReady: [Holding TNT in one hand, and a lit flare in the other] Anybody touches me, and we go.
Garry: I don't know about Copper... but I give you my word I did not go near that blood!
[Garry lowers his gun and places it on a crate]
Garry: But I guess you'd all feel a little easier if somebody else was in charge. Norris, I can't see somebody objecting to you.
Vance Norris: [after a pause; nervous tone] I'm sorry fellas,
but I-I-I'm not up to it.
Childs: [goes for the gun] I'll take it.
Clark: [pulls out his knife] Like hell you will!
MacReady: [takes the gun] It should be somebody a little more even-tempered, Childs.
Kate Lloyd: Anyone else with porcelain fillings? Or clean teeth?
MacReady: [facing a silent group] Anybody seen Fuchs? Somebody blew out a fuse in the lab. Lights where out in there for an hour; any ONE of us coulda gotten to him. All right, we gotta find him. Nauls, why don't you come with me and we'll look outside. Palmer, you and Windows check the inside.
Palmer: I ain't going with Windows. I ain't goin' with 'im.
I'll go with Childs.
Windows: Hey, fuck you, Palmer!
Palmer: I ain't goin' with you!
Childs: Who says I want you goin' with ME?
MacReady: [emphatically] ALL RIGHT, CUT THE BULLSHIT!
[pause]
MacReady: Windows, you come with us. Norris, you stay here.
MacReady: [referring to Garry, Clack & Doc tied to the sofa] Any of them move, you fry 'em. You hear anything - anything at all - you cut loose on the sirens. We all meet back here in twenty minutes - REGARDLESS! And everybody watch whoever you're with... real close.
Norwegian Passenger with Rifle: [in untranslated Norwegian] Get the hell away! That's not a dog, it's some sort of thing! It's imitating a dog, it isn't real! GET AWAY, YOU IDIOTS!
Childs: You the only one who made it?
MacReady: Not the only one.
Childs: You kill it?
MacReady: Where were you, Childs?
Childs: Thought I saw Blair. Went out after him. Got lost in the storm.
MacReady: laughs ruefully
Childs: Fire's got
the temperature up all over the camp. Won't last long though.
MacReady: Neither will we.
Childs: How will we make it?
MacReady: Maybe we shouldn't.
Childs: If you're worried about me... .
MacReady: If we got any surprises for each other, I don't think we're in much shape to do
anything about it.
Childs: Well. What do we do?
MacReady: Why don't we just... wait here for a little while. See what happens.
Childs: You the only one who made it?
MacReady: Not the only one.
Childs: You kill it?
