MacReady: How you doin', old boy? Blair: I don't know who to trust. And everybody watch who you're with, real close. We all meet here in 20 minutes regardless. You hear anything, anything at all, you cut loose on the sirens. I ain't going with him, I'll go with Childs- Windows: Hey, FUCK YOU, Palmer! Palmer: I ain't going with you! Childs: Who says I want you going with me?! MacReady: ALL RIGHT, CUT THE BULLSHIT! Windows, you come with us.
#One thing about me quotes windows#
Palmer, you and Windows check the inside. Nauls, why don’t you come with me and we'll go outside. Childs: So, how do we know who's human? If I was an imitation, a perfect imitation, how would you know if it was really me? MacReady: Somebody in this camp ain't what he appears to be. Norris: Finish what? Blair: Finish imitating these dogs. We got to it before it had time to finish. absorb them, and in the process shape its own cells to imitate them. When this thing attacked our dogs it tried to digest them.

What do you want from me? Ask him! Childs: You buy any of this Blair?īlair: You see, what we're talkin' about here is an organism that imitates other life-forms, and it imitates 'em perfectly.

'Cause it's different than us, see? 'Cause it's from outer space. MacReady: Yes, Garry, they dig it up, they cart it back, it gets thawed out, wakes up - probably not the best of moods - I don't know, I wasn't there! Nauls: Which one of you disrespectful men been tossing his dirty drawers in the kitchen trash can, huh? From now, I want my kitchen clean, all right? Germ free! Childs: So how's this motherfucker wake up after thousands of years in the ice? Bennings: And how can it look like a dog? MacReady: I don't know how. Garry: So, come on now, MacReady, Norwegians get ahold of this. I mean, they taught the Incas everything they know. Government knows all about it, right, Mac? Childs: You believe any of this voodoo bullshit, Blair? Palmer: Childs, Childs. They're falling out of the skies like flies. Palmer: Childs, happens all the time, man. Childs: I just cannot believe any of this voodoo bullshit. gets thrown out, or crawls out, and it ends up freezing in the ice. Thousands of years ago it crashes, and this thing. I'd rather not spend the rest of the winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH!ĭialogue MacReady: I don't know.

When attacked, your blood will try and survive - and crawl away from a hot needle, say. It's a newly formed individual with a built-in desire to protect its own life. But blood from one of you Things won't obey. Every piece of you is self-sufficient, an animal unto itself. Watching Norris in there gave me the idea that maybe every part of you bastards is a whole. 'cause we're gonna find out who's The Thing. We're gonna draw a little bit of everybody's blood.If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kill it. It'll fight if it has to, but it's vulnerable out in the open. This thing doesn't want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation. And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human. MacReady, helicopter pilot, US outpost number 31. nobody trusts anybody now, and we're all very tired. Windows found some shredded long johns, but the nametag was missing. One other thing: I think it rips through your clothes when it takes you over. The storm's been hitting us hard now for 48 hours. If none of us make it, at least there'll be some kind of record. I'm gonna hide this tape when I'm finished.
