- Dr. Jake Terrell: Where are they?
- Curtis Mahoney: The dolphins? I would guess they're on that yacht.
- Dr. Jake Terrell: What've they been doing?
- Curtis Mahoney: That's the part we don't know. What we do know is that they've been working on this thing since you started teaching your friend Alpha to talk.
- Margaret 'Maggie' Terrell: How do we stop them?
- Curtis Mahoney: From doing what? That's the point. At the moment, assuming we could find them, we could get them on the unique charge of kidnapping a bottlenose dolphin. I'm not even sure it's a crime.
- Dr. Jake Terrell: They'll kill 'em.
- Curtis Mahoney: Hmm?
- Dr. Jake Terrell: They'll kill 'em, won't they?
- Curtis Mahoney: Yes, of course they will.
- Margaret 'Maggie' Terrell: Why?
- Curtis Mahoney: They killed a man. Do you think they're going to get sentimental about a dolphin?
- Margaret 'Maggie' Terrell: But, Jake, why? What - What would be the point of killing *them*?
- Dr. Jake Terrell: Alpha can talk. We taught 'im, remember? He's a witness.
- Curtis Mahoney: How does he know where the yacht went?
- Dr. Jake Terrell: He can taste it, following the trail of water.
- Dr. Jake Terrell: He's calling you a liar.
- Ben Wallingford - Foundation: He is, is he?
- Dr. Jake Terrell: Well, that's what he said.
- Ben Wallingford - Foundation: I'm being called a liar by a goddamn fish?
- Woman in audience: What about their speaking in English?
- Dr. Jake Terrell: I'm sorry?
- Woman in audience: I saw this dolphin on television and he could count from 1 to 10 in English.
- Dr. Jake Terrell: Really? I must have missed that.
- Woman in audience: Do you think its some kind of trick or something?
- Dr. Jake Terrell: Yes... yes its just a trick.
- Dr. Jake Terrell: Alpha, listen to Pa.
- Alpha: Pha loves Pa.
- Dr. Jake Terrell: Yes, Pa knows. Listen, Alpha. Some men will come here, men who are not good. Pha and B must go.
- Alpha: Pha stays with Pa.
- Dr. Jake Terrell: No. Pha and B go now.
- Alpha: Pa not love Pha.
- Margaret 'Maggie' Terrell: Yes. Pa loves Pha, and B. Ma loves Pha and B.
- Alpha: Pha loves Ma.
- Curtis Mahoney: Everybody loves everybody! Now for Christ's sake, let's get the hell out of here!
