Funny movie quotes from The Thing from Another World – a serious movie, with a lot of comedy moments to lift the mood. Enjoy!
Ned “Scotty” Scott: So few people can boast that they’ve lost a flying saucer and a man from Mars -all in the same day! Wonder what they’d have done to Columbus if he’d discovered America, and then mislaid it.
Lt. Ken McPherson: What if he can read our minds?
Eddie: He’ll be real mad when he gets to me.
Ned “Scotty” Scott: Dr. Carrington, you’re a man who won the Nobel Prize. You’ve received every kind of international kudos a scientist can attain. If you were for sale I could get a million bucks for you from any foreign government. I’m not, therefore, gonna stick my neck out and say you’re stuffed absolutely clean full of wild blueberry muffins, but I promise my readers are gonna think so.
Ned “Scotty” Scott: [referring to McPherson’s gun] You sure you know how to use that thing?
Lt. Ken McPherson: I saw Gary Cooper in “Sergeant York.”
Dr. Chapman: Find anything, Captain?
Hendry: Not a sign. We poked into every snowbank within miles.
Bob, Crew Chief: Barnes flushed a polar bear.
Cpl. Barnes: Sure did.
Dr. Chapman: Scare you?
Cpl. Barnes: Not after I saw it was only a bear.
[after a quick encounter with the Thing]
Hendry: Did you get your picture?
Ned “Scotty” Scott: No, you were in the way and the door wasn’t open long enough.
Hendry: You want us to open it again?
Ned “Scotty” Scott: NO!
Hendry: I’ve given all the orders I want to give for the rest of my life.
Nikki: If I thought that was true I’d ask you to marry me.
