Masrani: You created a monster!
Henry Wu: Monster is a relative term. To a canary, a cat is a monster. We're just used to being the cat.

Claire: You can track them by smell or footprints?
Owen: I was with the Navy! Not the Navajo!

Claire: Corporate felt genetic modification would up the 'wow' factor.

Vivian: Uh, I have a boyfriend.

Gray: Can we stay with you?
Claire: I am never leaving you again!
GrayZach: [points to Owen] No, no, him. We mean him.

Peter Ludlow: Roland, there's a job for you in San Diego if you want it.
Roland Tembo: No thank you. I believe I've spent enough time in the company of death.
