• Jenny Lewis : Maybe you're right. Maybe we're looking for the creatures in the wrong place. At the very least, it's definitely worth checking out.

  Nick Cutter : Hey. As petty-minded bureaucrats go, you're the best.

• James Lester : Give me some good news.

  Nick Cutter : We still haven't found the boy.

  James Lester : No, that's bad news. Good news makes people happy. Keep trying.

  Nick Cutter : We found the shark.

  James Lester : Now you're getting the hang of it. So then... problem solved!

• Nick Cutter : How are you doing?

  Jenny Lewis : Three months ago, my idea of a life-and-death issue was getting front-row seats at London Fashion Week. How d'you think I'm doing

• Nick Cutter : There's another predator. Abby saw something.

  Stephen Hart : Another shark.

  Nick Cutter : Or it could be something else. All the evidence points to a marine mammal that sheds its skin, like a seal or a walrus. And the boy was taken off ground. So even if the shark could swam up the flooded drain, how did it grab him?

  Stephen Hart : Using that proboscis.

  Nick Cutter : That wouldn't explain the singing. A shark can't make that sound. It doesn't have vocal chords.

  James Lester : So to sum up then, we're looking for a deadly skin-shedding aquatic predator, with a neat line in Charlotte Church impressions. Well, the marketing possibilities are endless.

• Lucien : [Throws a rock that knocks out a Mer]  Yes! Two points. Who says I can't play?

  Nick Cutter : Nice shot!

• Abby Maitland : Is that what our future looks like?

  Nick Cutter : No. Not ours. The Earth's. Humanity is going to be long gone by then. Or perhaps we do survive, and we just evolve back into the world where we came from.

  Abby Maitland : You mean those things could be our descendants?

  Nick Cutter : Yeah. It's possible.

  Abby Maitland : Well, I didn't fancy yours much.
