Dr. T. Hallen:
"(on the phone)
Kate? It's Dr. Hallen, I'm still at the office... something's come up, I need you back here right away. No you've got to come back, Kate, there's a man here with some sort of a parasite on his arm, assimilating his flesh at a frightening speed. I may have to get ahead of it and amputate. No... I don't know what it is or where it came from."
Steve Andrews:
"Dave! Doc Hallen's been killed!"
Lieutenant Dave:
"Doc Hallen? What happened?"
Steve Andrews:
"It's over at his place, you've gotta come now!"
Lieutenant Dave:
"Now wait a minute Steve, tell us what happened."
Steve Andrews:
"I'm trying to tell you, now this thing has killed the Doc."
Sgt. Jim Bert:
"Well what was it? Out with it, kid!"
Steve Andrews:
"Well it's kind of a... kind of a mass, it keeps getting bigger and bigger."
Lieutenant Dave:
"Come on, Steve, make sense."
Steve Andrews:
"I know, I know, look Dave, you gotta see this thing to believe what I'm telling you."
Sgt. Jim Bert:
"Maybe this thing you saw was a... monster?"
Steve Andrews:
"Yeah, maybe it was, I don't know."
Lieutenant Dave:
"Hold on, Jim, now what is this, Steve? A little while ago it was driving backwards, now it's monsters."
Jane Martin:
"He's not making it up, Dave, honest!"
Steve Andrews:
"Dave, I'm not kidding you, I swear, come out to the Doc's, you can see it for yourself."
Sgt. Jim Bert:
"You're crazy if you go, can't you see it's a gag?"
Lieutenant Dave:
"He says Doc Hallen's dead, Jim, we've got to check it out."
