Dr. Karl Weigand: Lieutenant, I don't want to annoy you again, but nothing was left? Not a hair or a fingernail clipping? Only McLane's journal?
Ensign Quinlan: Well, that's all, Doctor.
Dr. Karl Weigand: That they are dead I can believe possible, but to vanish from the face of the earth - No!
Ensign Quinlan: The Navy thinks they were all at sea in their small boat when the typhoon hit. "Lost with all hands" is an old story.

Dr. Karl Weigand: The matter that the crab eats will be assimilated in its body as solid energy becoming part of the crab.
Martha Hunter: Like the bodies of the dead men?
Dr. Karl Weigand: Yes - and their brain tissue, which is, after all is nothing more than a storage house for electrical impulses.
Dale Drewer: That means that the crab can eat his victim's brain, absorbing his mind intact and working.

Dr. Karl Weigand: We are unquestionably on the brink of a great discovery. It is not likely that that discovery will be of a pleasant nature. That is the sum of my knowledge. If you need more, I suggest you ask Dr. McLane when next his voice calls in the night.

Hank Chapman: What does it mean, Doctor?
Dr. Karl Weigand: He is dead.
Dale Drewer: But he spoke, Carl.
Hank Chapman: Is this supposed to be a ghost story?
Dr. Karl Weigand: No. No, I do not believe in ghosts. We are dealing with a man who is dead, but whose voice and memory live. How this can be I do not know, but its implications are far more terrible than any ghost could ever be.

Martha Hunter: Jim, you don't know what could be down there!
Dr. James Carson: What could be other than earth, water and few land crabs?
