• [the team kill an alligator & examine it's mouth] 

  Lena : Lena: Whoa. It's exactly the same as the flowers. Look at the teeth. Concentric rows. Something here is making giant waves in the gene pool.

  [the paramedic, Anya, holds the alligator's mouth open. She has no tattoo on her arm] 

  Cass Sheppard : Sharks have teeth like that, don't they?

  Dr Ventress : Do you think it's a crossbreed?

  Lena : You can't crossbreed between different species.

  Anya Thorensen : Lena, this is getting heavy.

  [Later in the movie, Anya has acquired the tattoo] 

• Josie Radek : At first I thought the radio waves were blocked by the shimmer and that's why no one inside could communicate with base or GPS but the light waves aren't blocked, they're refracted and...

  Josie Radek : [takes her walkie talkie out of her bag and turns it on]  It's the same with the radios. Signals aren't gone, they're scrambled. That leaf in your hand, do you know what you'd get if you sequenced it?

  Lena : What?

  Josie Radek : Human Hox genes.

  Anya Thorensen : Hox? What does "Hox" mean?

  Lena : They're the genes that define the body plan, the physical structure.

  Josie Radek : And the plants have human body plan. Arms attached to shoulders, legs to hips.

  Lena : It's literally not possible.

  Josie Radek : It's literally what's happening. The Shimmer is a prism, but it refracts everything. Not just light and radio waves... animal DNA, plant DNA, all DNA.

  Anya Thorensen : What you mean "all DNA"?

  Dr Ventress : She's talking about our DNA. She's talking about us.
