[discussing the fossils Roney discovered]
Prof. Quatermass : Well if you're wrong it won't matter.
Dr. Matthew Roney : No. I'll just retire. They'll stick me alongside the Piltdown forgeries as a horrid warning.

Dr. Roney : [speaking at a press conference about the fossil apemen] We need time to do our work properly and I'm afraid we're not going to get it. The owners of the site want to get on with their building - now that's natural enough - and they're pressing us to get out.
Museum Official : Uh, that was confidential.
Dr. Roney : Oh. All right, please keep it off the record gentlemen that they're trying to kick us out.

Dr. Roney : [describing the ape men] He wasn't very tall. He had the face of an ape, but he had a big brain. And he stood like a man.
