Dr. Stephen Arden : Have you found any other bodies?
Xavier Fitch : No, we haven't not yet.
Dan Smithson, Empath : You will. She's a predator. Her eyes are in front. Her eyes are in front so she can judge the distance to her prey.
Dr. Stephen Arden : That's right.

-
Dr. Laura Baker : You don't want us to capture her alive so that we can study her?

Dan Smithson, Empath : I'm sorry for you.
Preston Lennox : Yeah, well, thank you, Dan. I'm sorry for her.
-

Xavier Fitch : The video enhancement is not all that great.
Dr. Stephen Arden : How old do you think she is? 20? 23?
Dr. Laura Baker : Her reproductive system should be fully developed.
Dr. Stephen Arden : Her biological clock must be in hyper-drive.
Dan Smithson : She wants to have a baby.
Dr. Stephen Arden : Well, if she manages to have a child, our problems have just started. If her offspring is male, and it develops at the same accelerated rate as Sil, it could be capable of reproduction in less than 6 months. God knows how many females it could impregnate.
Preston Lennox : [on the phone] Fitch?
Dr. Stephen Arden : You see when a predatory species is introduced into a closed ecological system, the extinction of the weaker species is inevitable.

Xavier Fitch : What's happening? Kills a girl at the club, comes home with this guy and kills him.
Dr. Stephen Arden : Well I'd say she fits the classic definition of a psychopath. She's got nothing to inhibit her. No moral sense, no social structure
Dr. Laura Baker : Well she wasn't exactly smothered with a mother's love, or taught good manners, you know what I mean?
Xavier Fitch : I asked what was happening.
Dan Smithson : He did something to her. She was angry.
Dr. Stephen Arden : She'll kill if she feels threatened. She'll kill anyone that gets in her way?
Xavier Fitch : Gets in her way of what?
Dr. Laura Baker : Her life cycle. I think she's trying to mate. Reproduce.
Xavier Fitch : Okay, so why did she kill the girl at the club?
Dan Smithson : Sexual competition.
Preston Lennox : She's pretty hard on the competition.
Xavier Fitch : And now she's managed to mate.
Preston Lennox : It doesn't look like a successful mating to me. He's still got his pants on.
Dan Smithson : She's frustrated.
Dr. Stephen Arden : Who isn't.
Xavier Fitch : What is her problem? He was here. She was here.
Dr. Laura Baker : All right, maybe she rejected him. She probably has some special kind of senses. Rats can sense diseased or genetic damage in their potential mates, So we can test his body for any hereditary diseases, any defects that would have made him a loser, essentially.
Preston Lennox : Needles. Maybe he was some kind of a doper or a diabetic.
Dr. Laura Baker : Yeah. Well, either way would have made him unacceptable. Excuse me. All right. Insulin. Diabetic. There you have it.
Xavier Fitch : Well, she could have just walked out. Why did she have to kill him?
Dr. Laura Baker : Well, I guess he pissed her off.
Dan Smithson : Some men don't like to get rejected. They get insistent.
Xavier Fitch : Put an APB out on this guy's car.
Aide : It's already happened.
Xavier Fitch : I'll go back to the motel. I want to check it out thoroughly.
Preston Lennox : More docile and controllable, huh, Fitch?
-
Dan Smithson, Empath : Something bad happened here...
-
Dan Smithson, Empath : Something's - something's wrong.
-
Dan Smithson, Empath : Fitch, Fitch it doesn't feel right.
