"I know what you mean, Blair." "Trust's a tough thing to come by these days." "Tell you what." "Why don't you just trust in the Lord?" " Watch Clark." " What?" "I said, watch Clark." "And watch him close." "Do you hear me?" "And now the radio's gone." " And so are the choppers." " We're completely cut off." "All we can do now is hole up 'til spring, wait for the rescue team."

"I don't know about Copper, but I give you my word, I did not go near that blood." "But I guess you'll all feel a little easier if somebody else was in charge." "Norris, I can't see anybody objecting to you." "I'm sorry, fellas, but I'm not up to it." " I'll take it." " Like hell you will." "It should be somebody a little more even-tempered, Childs." "MacREADY:" "All right." "MacREADY:" "I know I'm human." "And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now." "So some of you are still human." "This thing doesn't want to show itself." "It wants to hide inside an imitation." "It'll fight if it has to." "But it's vulnerable out in the open."

"No, Doc, he's doing a real fine job." "I'm gonna hide this tape when I'm finished." "If none of us make it, at least there'll be some kind of record." "Storm's been hitting us hard now for 48 hours." "We still have nothing to go on." "One other thing, I think it rips through your clothes when it takes you over." "Windows found some shredded long johns, but the name tag was missing." "They could be anybody's." "Nobody..." "Nobody trusts anybody now." "And we're all very tired." "Nobody trusts anybody now." "There's nothing else I can do." "Just wait." "R.J. MacReady, helicopter pilot, U.S. Outpost, number 31." "You come up with anything yet?" "One or two ideas." "But, MacReady, I've been thinking."

"Yeah." "Why would it burn him?" "Flare." "Maybe he tried to burn it." "Maybe he burned himself before it could get to him." "Great!" "Now what are we gonna do?" "You go inside." "Tell the others we found Fuchs." "We'll be in as soon as we can." " Where are we going?" " Up to my shack." "What the hell for?" "'Cause when I left yesterday, I turned the lights off."

"It could've been anytime, anywhere." "CHILDS:" "If it did get to him." "Look, Childs, come on." " When the lights went out." " That would've been perfect." "Right." "You said guys were missing." "Windows, where were you?" "I told you to shut your mouth!" "(ALL YELLING)" "NORRIS:" "This is just what it wants!" "To pit us against each other." " Let's open it." " Hell no!" "You think he's changed into one of those things?" "He's had time." "Nothing human could've made it back here in this weather without a guide line." " Let's open it now." " Why are you so anxious to let him in here?" "Because it's so close." " May be our best chance to blow it away." " CHILDS:" "Let him freeze." "Childs, what if we're wrong about him?" "Well, then, we're wrong!" "(GLASS SHATTERING)" "The supply window!" "All right, all right, we got no choice now!" "Damn it!" "He's got the keys!" "MacREADY:" "What's going on?" "The towline snapped." "Bullshit, Childs." "He's got to know damn well I cut it!" "You're a dead man, MacReady!" "Or a dead whatever the hell you are!" "Anyone messes with me and the whole camp goes." "Come on, Childs, burn me." "Put those torches on the floor and back off." "Back off." "Way off." " You asshole." " You'd have done the same thing." "Don't argue with him." "Where's the rest?" "Come on, man, I mean it!" "It's cool, MacReady, come on." "Yeah." "Yeah, man, just relax." "Anybody touches me... and we go." "(GROANS)" " He's not breathing!" " Go untie the doc." "Get him in here." "And bring the others." "From now on, nobody gets out of my sight." "Let me at him." "So, you sweethearts were about to have a little lynching party, huh?" "I might just have to put an end to you on general principles, Nauls." "Did it ever occur to the jury that anybody could've gotten some of my clothes" " and stuck them up the furnace?" " CHILDS:" "We ain't buying that." "Quit that bickering over there!" "Windows, wheel that defibrillator over here." "Give me those paddles!" "CHILDS:" "You're gonna have to sleep sometime, MacReady." "I'm a real light sleeper, Childs." "If anyone tries to wake me..." "Clear!" " Clear!" " Clear." "(SCREAMING)" " We're on fire, MacReady!" "We're on fire!" " Get back!" "Just wait!" "All right, go!" "Windows!" "Windows, get in here!" "You gotta be fucking kidding." "(SCREAMING)" " What do you got in mind, MacReady?" " A little test." "And, Windows, you and Palmer, tie everybody down real tight." " What for?" " For your health." "Let's rush him!" "He's not gonna blow us all up!" "No, no, wait a minute." "Wait a minute." "Let's do what Mac says." "I mean, he wasted Norris pretty quick, didn't he?" "That's close enough, Clark." "He ain't tying me up." "Then I'll have to kill you, Childs." "Then kill me." "I mean it." "(GUN COCKING)" "I guess you do." "(GUN FIRING)" "Geez." "This is bullshit, Mac!"

"MacREADY:" "We're gonna draw a little bit of everybody's blood 'cause we're gonna find out who's the thing." "Watching Norris in there gave me the idea that maybe every part of him was a whole." "Every little piece was an individual animal with a built-in desire to protect its own life." "You see, when a man bleeds, it's just tissue." "The blood from one of you things won't obey when it's attacked." "It'll try and survive." "Crawl away from a hot needle the same." "Now you." "That's good." "All right, move back, over there." "I guess you're okay." "All right." "Put that on and watch them." "Now I'll show you what I already know." "It's a crock of shit." "Let's try the doc and Clark." "Now Clark." "Then Clark was human, huh?" "Which makes you a murderer, don't it?" "Palmer now." "This is pure nonsense." "It doesn't prove a thing." "I thought you'd feel that way, Garry."
