Quotes 

• Mitch Buchannon : So you think something live came bubbling up.

  Ryan McBride : We're fools to think that we've identified every life form.

  Mitch Buchannon : Alright, what do you think it is?

  Ryan McBride : Well, I dunno. Start with your basic life form. The single cell.

  Mitch Buchannon : Amoebas. Protozoa.

  Ryan McBride : Yeah, exactly, um, there's no structure, no bones, no vertebrae. It's just this ever-growing, ever-moving life form.

  Mitch Buchannon : Killer.

• Mitch Buchannon : Now listen to me. Obviously, something happened to this girl that's got her totally freaked out. Let's just give her the benefit of the doubt, alright?

  Ryan McBride : I say we give her a muzzle.

  Mitch Buchannon : She is this close to losing it.

  Ryan McBride : [whispering]  Well that makes two of us.

• Mitch Buchannon : Can this thing survive out of the water?

  Ryan McBride : Theoretically, the environment doesn't matter.

  Mitch Buchannon : How can it be so big!

  Ryan McBride : There are no limits. This thing can get as big as its food supply will support. Once it's big enough, then it divides.

  Claire : Divides!

• Ryan McBride : Hey, uh, not that it matters, but I just figured out why the radios wouldn't work and the engines wouldn't start. Um, EMP, it's uh, electromagnetic pulse, you see, sometimes when they set off bombs in the oceans, certain life forms take on this aura of a magnetic field, and they can disrupt any kind of electrical machinery anywhere near it.

  Mitch Buchannon : [whispering]  You're right. It doesn't matter.
