"Mr. Couzins, this complex was built to be impregnable." "There's no possible way that anything or anybody could get in it." "Or out, if what you tell me is true, Major." "But we do know a bat did get in here." "It's just possible that it was in the elevator with us." "One of us would have seen it." "The state we were in, it's possible we could have missed seeing it." "A week before you were brought here, supplies were coming in day and night." "The elevator was the only access." "It was used at least 50 times a day." "Are you telling us the government anticipated this happening a week before it did?" "The government might have." "In Washington, one finds that major secrets are kept from people every day." " It's always been that way." " What I'm getting at... is it's possible the bat got in the elevator and got down here before any of you did." "If that were true, what was it feeding on before it got to the birds?" "Now we're just gonna have to search every room in this place, every inch of it... every conduit, every vent and find out how the thing got in here." "And then make sure that there are no others." "Loudspeakers, air conditioning grids, all clean." "[ Groans ]" "Let's not forget one thing." "Bats are nocturnal." "They can't tolerate light."

"I'm gonna try to find out what the trouble is." "Now is that all right with you, hmm?" "In the meantime, we are gonna keep all of our lights on... for 2 4 hours a day." "[ Man Over TV] Although no precise computation... has ever been made concerning the world's bat population... experts agree that the number would be in excess of 1 0 billion... perhaps as high as 50 billion."

"[ Russo ] We all feel the same way, Mr. Couzins, so why don't you just take it easy." "There's a time to take it easy and there's a time for action." "Now I'm gonna lay this whole thing out for you." "Iust what I think.Just what I have believed from the very beginning." "That this whole thing is a setup... and that someone down here is responsible for it." "Only the one thing he didn't count on were these bats."

"I agree with you, Gordon." "I think we all agree with you that we got to believe in each other... because each other is all we got... all there is between man's surviving or becoming extinct." "But if we're going to survive, it seems to me... we've got to do something." "I don't know what, but something... to protect ourselves against those damn bats." "[ Mayes ] An alarm system." "Why couldn't Gordon here rig up some kind of an alarm system... so that if the lights go out, at least no one will be caught sleeping... through this kind of thing again." "Some sort of audio warning system." "Yeah, that's possible." "It'll take hours for me to complete." "Then you don't think you're going to be able to find the problem about the lights?" "I haven't yet." "And until I do, a warning system's a damn good idea." "The group adjustments which were beginning to take shape... are now seriously threatened by this most recent contact with bats." "The experience has caused extreme depression and fear." "It is possible the bats are trapped down here with us, sealed off." "And though an alarm system cannot keep them away... it will warn us if they come again." "And it must work... because it seems that this particular species ofbat... will attack humans without provocation." "[ Footsteps ]" "Well, what have you got there, Doctor?"
