Quotes 

• Meg Penny : The front door is locked.

  Brian Flagg : [picks up a brick]  That's okay, I got a key.

• Brian Flagg : Listen to me, Briggs, think for a minute, do you suppose an army of guys in plastic suits show up every time a meteor falls?

  Dr. Meddows : [about Brian]  Shoot him, that's a direct order!

  Brian Flagg : How do you think they got here so fast? How did they even know when to come?

  Dr. Meddows : Shoot dammit shoot!

  Brian Flagg : I'll tell ya how! That meteor is man-made! It's some kind of a germ warfare test they fucked up!

• Dr. Meddows : Let Me tell you a story. Dinosaurs ruled our planet for millions of years and yet they died out almost over night. Why? The evidence suggests that a meteor fell to Earth carrying an alien bacteria.

  Meg Penny : Plague? Is that what this whole thing is about?

  Dr. Meddows : Prevention!

  Brian Flagg : And you think that this meteor brought some kind of killer germ?

  Dr. Meddows : It's something I've expected and prepared for all my life!

  Brian Flagg : Your meteor brought something all right but if it's a germ, it's the biggest son of a bitch you've ever seen!

• Meg Penny : Nobody believes me about what happened tonight.

  Brian Flagg : What did happen?

  Meg Penny : You were there, you saw!

  Brian Flagg : All I saw was an old man with a funky hand, that's all I saw.

  Meg Penny : The thing on that man's hand killed him and then it killed Paul, and whatever it is, it's getting bigger!

  Brian Flagg : So you told the cops? Do you mind if I ask you a personal question? I know you're the homecoming queen type and all but are you strung out on something or what?

  Meg Penny : [laughs]  You're just the same.

  Brian Flagg : What are you talking about?

  Meg Penny : You act like you're different, you put on this big show, but you're just like everybody else in this town, you're full of SHIT, Flagg!

• Col. Hargis : Let's scrag that son-of-a-bitch!

  [the soldiers fire their weapons into the manhole] 

  Col. Hargis : SATCHEL CHARGE! SHORT FUSE! FIRE IN THE HOLE!

  [Drops the explosive into the manhole and it detonates] 

  Col. Hargis : Chew on that, slimeball!

  [after a pause, the ground all around them begins to tremor violently] 

  Col. Hargis : What's happening?

  Brian Flagg : I think... you pissed it off!

• Brian Flagg : In the meantime, we're your prisoners?

  Dr. Meddows : Not at all, you're my patients.

• Brian Flagg : [to Meg]  I never thought I'd go out of my way to find a cop.

• Meg Penny : Brian! I need to talk to you. Brian?

  Brian Flagg : What the hell are you doing here?

  Meg Penny : Look, I came down to bail you out.

  [holds out credit card] 

  Brian Flagg : Who do you think they are, Neiman Marcus? They don't take plastic.

• Brian Flagg : It's locked.

  Meg Penny : So what? Brian, what is with you? You're acting like a complete jerk.

  Brian Flagg : I have a problem with authority figures.

  Meg Penny : What are you doing?

  Brian Flagg : I think we ought to get out of here. We ought to take my bike and blow this town. It's getting a little thick around here. Don't you think?

  Meg Penny : That's crazy. These people are here to help us.

  Brian Flagg : Come on Meg, we don't even know who they are. NASA, CIA, Royal Canadian Mounties, all I know is I saw a bunch of unmarked trucks back there, I think the whole thing stinks.

• Brian Flagg : Are you coming?

  Meg Penny : Brian, I have to go back, my family's there, people that I care about.

  Brian Flagg : Well I'm going, and if you're smart you'll come with me.

  Meg Penny : Then go. Take care of yourself. That's the only thing you're really good at, isn't it?

• Brian Flagg : [to the people of Aborville]  It's a lie. All of it.

• Paul Taylor : Flagg! What'd you do to him?

  Brian Flagg : Hey I'm not the one who bounced him off my car!

  Paul Taylor : YEAH RIGHT! You ran him into the middle of the road!

  Meg Penny : Stop it! Let's get him to a doctor!

• Deputy Bill Briggs : Flagg! What are you doin' here boy?

  Brian Flagg : The men from Glad here are showin' us how to keep our leftovers fresh.

• Brian Flagg : So, uh, Moss, how about the ratchet?

  [Moss throws a skeptical look at him] 

  Brian Flagg : All right, maybe I'll put in a couple of hours over the weekend. Maybe that'll lighten things up a bit.

  Moss Woodley : There's twelve sockets in that set. Twelve. And they better all be there when I get it back, too.

  Brian Flagg : You got it, buddy. You got it. Thanks a lot, Moss. Hey, I owe you one.

  Moss Woodley : You owe me too damn many.

• Brian Flagg : [escaping the van being driven by government agents taking them back to town]  You coming?

  Meg Penny : Brian, I have to go back. My family's there, people that I care about.

  Brian Flagg : I'm going. If you're smart, you'll come with me.

  Meg Penny : Then go. Take care of yourself. It's the only thing you're really good at, isn't it?

  Brian Flagg : No one else ever volunteered for the job.

• Brian Flagg : All right, Meddows. If you won't listen to me, listen to this.

• Brian Flagg : You don't give up, do you?

  Meg Penny : I need your help.

• Paul Taylor : Hey, get in the car.

  Brian Flagg : What for?

  Paul Taylor : There's going to be a lot of explaining to do and you're part of it, now are you gonna get in the car, or am I going to make you get in?

  Brian Flagg : What's the matter, Taylor? You worried about a little insurance claim on daddy's car, huh? Maybe I will come along, just to make sure you don't try pinning this whole thing on me.

• Sheriff Herb Geller : Flagg, congratulations.

  Brian Flagg : For what?

  Sheriff Herb Geller : Well, I hear you have a birthday comin' up. No more juvie hall, right?

  Brian Flagg : Yeah, right.

  Sheriff Herb Geller : Now, you mess up now, and you're in the majors. I'll see you around, Flagg.

• Brian Flagg : Moss, what's happenin'?

  Moss Woodley : You look like hell.

  Brian Flagg : Hey, it's a fashion statement, man.

  Moss Woodley : Well, the only statement them clothes got to make is, "I look like hell".
