  Wayne Grey : Right. Sorry.

  Harry Block : Alright, so what do you say Ira? Pack it in?

  Harry Block : Take it! Take it! Take the leg!

  Harry Block : Block!

• Harry Block : So, do they give the Nobel Prize out in yearly payments or is it just one lump sum, like the lottery?

  Ira Kane : Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

  Harry Block : Oh, I'm not getting ahead of myself. I've very concerned about the potential tax consequences.

• Harry Block : I'm no biologist, but how many cells do single-celled organisms have?

  Ira Kane : Harry, if we're going to be big important scientists you have to start to act the part.

• [Kane and Block disguise themselves as a colonel and a private to sneak into the military base] 

  Harry Block : I still don't understand why you get to be colonel and I'm just a private.

  Ira Kane : I WAS a colonel.

  Harry Block : Yeah, and you obviously served your country with distinction.

  Ira Kane : You should be thankful, the penalty for impersonating an officer is five years in prison.

  Harry Block : Maybe for you, white boy. Me, they hang.

• Harry Block : There's a fly in my suit!

• [the heroes just killed a dinosaur-like creature] 

  Ira Kane : So, what do you want? Light meat, or dark?

  Harry Block : You have to ask?

• Nadine : I really need these credits to get into nursing school.

  Harry Block : Nursing school? Don't you think you'd be happier in a different profession, one where people's lives were NOT dependent on you?

• Harry Block : Liar, liar, pants on fire!

• Nadine : Um, Professor, the little wiggly worm things in there are breaking.

  Harry Block : Ira, look.

  Ira Kane : Yeah. It's not breaking, it's splitting. It's mitosis. That's how they reproduce!

  Harry Block : No sex?

  Ira Kane : No time for sex.

  Nadine : Bummer.

• [they see a dying monster coughing something up] 

  Wayne Grey : Whoa! It's like a big lugie!

  [the 'egg' breaks, and another monster comes out]

  Harry Block : CUT ME OPEN! There goes your Christmas gift, Judas!

• Harry Block : You going to finish that bacon?

  Wayne Grey : Yeah, I am. I ordered it, didn't I?

• [the alien creature turns around to reveal what looks like spherical buttocks] 

  Harry Block : [grinning]  Ira, look at that backside! Theater in the round. That's the kind of trunk space you want in a late-model car. Who does that remind you of?

  Ira Kane : I've no idea what you're talking about.

  Harry Block : She's been throwing it at you enough.

  Ira Kane : [incredulously]  Dr. Reed?

  Harry Block : Bull's-eye.

  [Cut to the Ops Room] 

  Lt. Cryer : Excuse me, Dr. Reed, did you authorize a walk-through?

  Dr. Allison Reed : No. Why?

  Lt. Cryer : Um, you should probably take a look at something. Here.

  [On the computer screen, they see and hear Block teasing:] 

  Harry Block : That's the kind of rump you want to roast! The kind of muffin you'd like to butter!

  Ira Kane : That is, that is a nice image. And I appreciate your assumption that there is an actual sexual human being underneath all Dr. Reed's deep-seated neuroses, but I don't think so.

  Harry Block : What?

  Ira Kane : Yeah. I think she is a humorless ice queen.

• Ira Kane : You sure this leads to the main cavern?

  Harry Block : It'll definitely lead us somewhere. Geology is not an exact science.

• Ira Kane : We call no one, we tell no one. This is our secret, right?

  Harry Block : What about the government? I mean, isn't this the kind of thing they usually get involved in?

  Ira Kane : No! No government. I know those people. Absolutely not.

• [They are admiring a ten-legged creature with heads at both ends] 

  Harry Block : Is it coming or it going? - The tree just ate it!

  Ira Kane : Everything down here seems to be food for something else, so let's try to stay off the menu, huh?

  Harry Block : Got that right. Ooops!

  [Block sees that he has stepped on a multi-legged creature. At once, alien insects descend like ants upon the mess and begin feasting] 

  Harry Block : Ira! Come here, look at these little things!

  Ira Kane : Oh, cool! Great. Snag one!

  Harry Block : Snag one?

  Ira Kane : Yeah. Snag one and put them in the bucket!

  Harry Block : I seen this movie, the black dude dies first. YOU snag it!

  Ira Kane : Aw, don't be scared. Come on, we came for a specimen. Now snag one! Come on. Not gonna hurt you. Look, he's turned the other way. He's eating.

  Harry Block : Come on, come on, my widdle red lobster. Come on, my sexy little crustracean. Come on...

• [In the courtroom] 

  Judge Guilder : Dr. Kane, are you asking me to bar the Federal Government from involvement in a discovery as significant as this one?

  Ira Kane : No, no, no. Not at all. We're asking you to make sure that the local scientists who actually made the discovery continue to play a significant role.

  Harry Block : They kept us out for almost two weeks! And we put our lives on the line to find these little guys, Your Majesty! We just want to be there for them, as they grow up.

  [He accidentally slaps Kane in the face, as though knowing Kane was going to correct him to say "Your Honor."] 

  Ira Kane : We were the first team at the meteor site, and all the initial testing was done in our lab, Judge.

  Brigadier Gen. Russell Woodman : The facilities at Glen Canyon Community College are jokes.

  Judge Guilder : They weren't a joke when I went there, General.

  [the General looks shifty-eyed and embarrassed] 

• [Kane and Block have sneaked into the Army Compound] 

  Harry Block : Ooh. Your girlfriend, eleven-o'clock.

  [Allison drops her files, as Kane turns to look] 

  Dr. Allison Reed : Oh, darn it.

  Ira Kane : That woman is a menace.

• [In the meteorite crater] 

  Ira Kane : This place has changed.

  Harry Block : Can you believe this?

  Ira Kane : Harry, look at that! Our little babies are growing up. Three weeks, it's already like a rain forest in here.

  Harry Block : Eww. Looks like the kitchen from my first apartment.

• Harry Block : Keep your chin up. You know she wanted to give you some, don't you?

  Ira Kane : Were you even in that courtroom?

  Harry Block : Getting barbecued like baby back ribs? It's all foreplay, baby.

  [they return to their lab, to find the door broken in, and all their work stolen] 

  Ira Kane : Oh, we've been hit!

  Harry Block : Forget the foreplay. We just got screwed!

• Wayne Grey : [as they arm themselves in the sporting goods store]  You ever use one of these things before?

  Harry Block : Just 'cause I'm a schoolteacher, that don't make me a pussy.

  Ira Kane : Ladies, ladies, there's a terrifying alien bird menacing the mall. Can we focus?

• Harry Block : Testing, testing, one, two, one-one-one-two... this is D.J. Harry Block here, and I'm an Aquarius...

  Ira Kane : Harry, would you stop it? I can hear you.

  Harry Block : Don't you snap at me, unless you want an angry solid gold dancer on your hands, Ira.

• Harry Block : Ira, are you sure you can handle this on your lonesome?

• Harry Block : [on finding a dead alien]  That dog is all ass!

• Harry Block : Hey, beneath this calm, sexy exterior beats the heart of a true scientist!

• Harry Block : [after the alien flying dragon's birth in back of the housing development]  It's flying away! Is that a bad thing?

  Ira Kane : Only if you're a human being.

• [Harry is about to leave Ira alone in the lab to study the DNA] 

  Harry Block : Ira, are you sure you can handle this by your lonesome?

  [Ira rolls his eyes at Harry] 

  Harry Block : [showing himself out]  All right. All right.
