Dialogue

Karen: Is he handsome, father?

Prof. Martens: No. He's got three eyes and a false mustache! Hurry now, I don't want him to wait.

Karen: But how will I know him?

Prof. Martens: Since when must I tell you how to find a man?

Gen. Mark Grayson: Come in!

Capt. Einer Brandt: Is there anything I can do for you?

Gen. Mark Grayson: Yeah, get me transferred out of this damn place!

Capt. Einer Brandt: I think, General, if you'd just visit the city, you might learn to like it.

Peterson: Olsen! Olsen! It's alive! It's loose.

Officer Olsen: Come in Peterson.

Peterson: Come on! We have to get there as fast as possible!

Officer Olsen: Now see what you've done!

Peterson: I'm sorry.

Officer Olsen: What's all this about, Peterson? What happened?

Peterson: The electricity went out. All over.

Officer Olsen: All over?

Peterson: Yeah! Even the electric eel.

Officer Olsen: Then what?

Peterson: Then it was so dark, I couldn't see my own face in front of me!

Officer Olsen: I wish I could be that lucky, Mr. Peterson and what happened then.

Peterson: There was only the big hole left. The monster is loose.

Officer Olsen: Ya, sure sure. Why don't you go and tell Dr. Dalby about it?

Peterson: I can't he sent me here to tell you!

Officer Olsen: Why, sure.

Peterson: Ya!
