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!

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.

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

Meg Penny : [Meg rescues Kevin from the sewers but then can't get out herself. Kevin tries to save her anyway, to no avail] Run, Kevin! Go to Town Hall!
Kevin Penny : No, but Meg...
[then, before he can respond]
Meg Penny : DO IT NOW!
Kevin Penny : [gets up, resignedly] I'll miss you, Meg.
[as he runs off, Meg dives back into the sewer and swims for it; sure enough, she finds an alternate way out]

Meg Penny : Sir, excuse me, but I think my little brother's over at the movie theatre on Main Street.

Meg Penny : Right, but you don't understand...
Pharmacist : We'll handle it okay, now get back in line.
Pharmacist : I don't see you handling much of anything... are you on a coffee break?
Soldier Outside Town Hall : [Now irritated] Look mister
Pharmacist : [Snaps] Don't you look mister me... I'm a tax payer... I pay your salary... now what are you going to do about finding my son?
Soldier Outside Town Hall : [as her father argues with the soldier... Meg takes off into the crowd] I understand you're upset, Sir, but if you just get back in line. We have the situation under control.
Pharmacist : [Grudgingly] I know.
