Marilyn 'Lee' Cross:
So what are you gonna do?
Lt. John Barton: Ask for help.
Marilyn 'Lee' Cross: Don't be stupid. They're not gonna help. You're kind of stuck with me.
Lt. John Barton: Stupid? I'm being stupid? You have no idea what's happening.
Marilyn 'Lee' Cross: Yes I do. I'm here and it's against the rules and don't be such a pain. I said I'd pay the fine.
Lt. John Barton: There is no fine. It's more serious than that!

This was a great story when it was written. Unfortunately, this movie is anything but great. A straight-forward chilling science-fiction story has been turned into yet another "all businesses are run by greedy b****rds with no morals" piece of trash that resembles science fiction only superficially. I recommend against watching it, unless you are bored out of your mind and nothing else is on.
