Dialogue

[edit]
Matthew: Maybe he’s become a Republican.
Elizabeth: I have seen these flowers all over. They are growing like parasites on other plants. All of a sudden. Where are they coming from?
Nancy: Outer space?
Jack: What are you talking about? A space flower?
Nancy: Well why not a space flower? Why do we always expect metal ships?
Jack: I've NEVER expected metal ships.
Elizabeth: Yep, Boccardo's pills. He eats it like candy... or used to. Take some.
Matthew: What are they?
Dr. Kibner: Elizabeth, could you please tell me, in your opinion, what is going on?
Elizabeth: People are being duplicated. And once it happens to you, you're part of this... thing. It almost happened to me!
Elizabeth: I keep seeing these people, all recognizing each other. Something is passing between them all, some secret. It's a conspiracy, I know it.
Matthew: There can't be a conspiracy!
Elizabeth: Matthew, I'm telling you something is going on here.
Matthew: [dials his phone] I'll get the police.
Telephone Operator: Police.
Matthew: Officer, I'd like to report four bodies.
Telephone Operator: Wait right there Mr. Bennel.
Matthew: How do you know my name?
Jack: Hang up, Matthew.
Matthew: [into the phone] I didn't tell you my name.
Jack: Hang up!
Matthew: [hangs up the phone] I didn't tell them my name!
Nancy: That's because they're all part of it. They're all pods, all of them!
Elizabeth: I hate you.
Dr. Kibner: We don't hate you - there's no need for hate now. Or love.
Elizabeth: There are people who will fight you. Stop you.
Dr. Kibner: In an hour you won't want them to. Don't be trapped by old concepts, Matthew, you're evolving into a new lifeform.

Nancy: Matthew?
Matthew: (loud, spine chilling scream as he points to her)
Nancy: No! Stop!
