Merrill: Move children! Vámanos.
Merrill: Move, children. Vamanos.
Officer Caroline: Merrill... how's work at the gas station?

Graham Hess: What are you thinking about?
Bo: Why do you talk to Mom when you're by yourself?
Graham Hess: Makes me feel better.
Bo: Does she ever answer back?
Graham Hess: No.
Bo: She never answers me either.
Graham Hess: It's happening.
Morgan: I think God did it.
Graham Hess: We're going to board up every window in this house.

Merrill: Everything has a weakness.
Graham Hess: My vote counts as two.
Morgan: That's bullshit. You're cheating.
Graham Hess: Morgan, calm down.
Morgan: We don't know anything yet.

Morgan: Some guy had a sign saying it was the end of the world.
Merrill: Don't worry.
Morgan: You won't let anything happen to us, right?
Merrill: No way.

Graham Hess: The police are here. I am with them. I am a police officer. I just want to talk with you. We know all about the hoax. We already took some of your friends downtown in a paddy wagon. Just tell us your name and why you did it, and we'll give you the same deal we gave the others. Don't throw your life away, son.
Morgan: It's not contaminated, you don't even know what that word means.
Morgan: If you're gonna make fun of it, then forget it.
Bo: This is serious.
Graham Hess: I don't know what got into me.
Morgan: There are pictures. Dr. Bimbu, one of the authors of the book.
Graham Hess: Bimbu?
Morgan: Dad.
Graham Hess: I just asked his name.
Morgan: You had a tone.
Merrill: The nerds were right.
Answer: It could be that they are affected by the chlorine in the tap water (humans are affected by chlorine to, just look at Mustard Gas) to a greater extent then humans.
