- David Drayton: Sure there's no way I can talk you out of this?
- Brent Norton: David, there's nothing out there. Nothing in the mist.
- David Drayton: What if you're wrong?
- Brent Norton: Then, I guess... the joke will be on me afterall.
- David Drayton: [seeing a bunch of soldiers speeding past them] Guys from the base.
- Brent Norton: From up the mountain?
- David Drayton: Uh-huh.
- Brent Norton: The arrowhead project? Well, you're a local - any idea what they do up there?
- David Drayton: Missile defense research, you know, I'm sure you've heard the stories.
- Brent Norton: I'm sure the woman at the laundry mat says that they have a crashed flying saucer up there with frozen alien bodies.
- David Drayton: Right, Ms. Edna. Yeah. Ms. Tabloid! "I had Bigfoot's baby". "Satan's face appears in oil well fire". You know, real reliable stuff.
- Brent Norton: Now listen people. We are experiencing some kind of disaster. I don't know whether it's man-made or natural, but I do know that it's definitely not supernatural. Or biblical. And no offense Mrs. Carmody, but the only way we're going to help ourselves is to seek rescue. We're going out.
- David Drayton: Brent, look...
- Brent Norton: I'm not discussing this any further.
- David Drayton: I know. I just want to ask a favor.

- David Drayton: Tie this around your waist.

- David Drayton: It'll let us know you at least got three hundred feet.
