• Marty Weiss : Bill, it's Marty, please let us in.

  Dr. Bill Stockton : Marty, I would if I could, do you understand? I swear to you I would.

  Marty Weiss : Bill, please, it's Marty.

  Dr. Bill Stockton : Marty I can't, don't stand there asking me. I can't, I can't and I won't.

  Marty Weiss : I feel sorry for you, Bill, I really do, you probably will survive but you'll have blood on your hands.

  [pounds on the shelter door] 

  Marty Weiss : YOU'RE A DOCTOR! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HELP PEOPLE! Help! Help! Help!

  Dr. Bill Stockton : [to his wife and son]  That was a million years ago...

• Marty Weiss : ...Jerry, you've known him longer than any of us. Tell him to pick out one family. We'll draw lots, or -- or something.

  Frank Henderson : *One family*. Meaning *yours*, huh, Marty?

  Marty Weiss : Why not? I've got a 3-month-old baby!

  Mrs. Henderson : What's that got to do with anything? Is your baby any more precious than one of my kids?

  Marty Weiss : I never said that! Look, if you're going to argue about who deserves to live and who doesn't...

  Frank Henderson : You shut your mouth, Weiss...! That's how it is when the foreigners come over here: pushy and grabby semi-Americans, crowding us out of our own country! Tainting our *bloodlines*!

  Marty Weiss : Why, you garbage-spitting...!

  [He and Frank attack each other, but Jerry breaks them up] 

  Jerry Harlowe : Keep that up, and we won't even need a bomb; we can slaughter each other!
