Amanda Dunfrey: You don't have much faith in humanity, do you?
Dan Miller: None, whatsoever.
Amanda Dunfrey: I can't accept that. People are basically good; decent. My god, David, we're a civilized society.

Mrs. Carmody: Well maybe your window turned out to be a door. Isn't it?
Wayne Jessup: Not my door! It's the scientists!
Mrs. Carmody: [sarcastically] Oh, the scientists.
