- Quatermass: They tell me you have no police here?
- Dawson: Police? We don't need them - we're a law-abiding community, aren't we?
- Marsh: Hey look at this Sir! Look at this! I think this- I think this is a- a whole one! Yes it is! It's exactly the same odd shape as the other. It isn't even cracked. It's...
- Quatermass: What is it?
- Marsh: That's funny, I thought I felt a sort of...
- Quatermass: Put it down!
- Marsh: -a sort of vibration.
- Quatermass: Marsh, your face! There was something on your face! Are you alright? Let me take a look. You know, for a moment, I could have sworn I saw something that looked like a big black bubble.
- Quatermass: One of them took a swipe at me with his rifle!
- Secretary: Well, you shouldn't have been there!
- Quatermass: No. It's not a flare
- Ernie: What is it?
- Quatermass: It's the one thing that may save us - and Humanity.
- Lomax: You know what worries me? How am I going to make a final report about all this?
- Quatermass: What worries me is - how final can it be...?

- Quatermass: The Things have turned on 'em! They used them to stop the flow of oxygen! That pipe has been blocked with human pulp!
- Super: Your friend was arrested by security guards. If he was trespassing, I'm afraid they were within their rights.
- Quatermass: Am I to understand that you flatly refuse to do anything about this?
- Super: I don't know what you mean by 'flatly refuse', sir. As I see it, you ran into a project you don't understand in a place you had no right to be.
