Quotes 

• Professor Nick Cutter : If I don't make it back, push Lester through the worst anomaly you can find.

  Stephen Hart : It's a given.

• Professor Nick Cutter : [after returning from a mission through an Anomaly]  Where's Claudia?

  James Lester : Claudia?

  Professor Nick Cutter : Where's Claudia Brown?

  James Lester : I don't know anyone of that name.

  Professor Nick Cutter : No, come on. Where is she?

  Stephen Hart : We really, we... we don't know what you're talking about.

  Connor Temple : Never heard of her.

  Professor Nick Cutter : Look, you've been working with her everyday for months, so don't tell me you don't know who she is.

  James Lester : No idea. Sorry.

  Professor Nick Cutter : [Nick grabs Lester by the jacket]  Look! Look, where is she?

  Connor Temple : Cutter, we don't know her!

  Abby Maitland : No one knows her!

  Professor Nick Cutter : Wait, something's gone wrong. This isn't right. Something's gone wrong. Something's happened. Something's changed. We've done something... something that we've done has changed the past and she's not here anymore. Oh God. Oh my God.

• Helen Cutter : [after sneaking up on Stephen]  In most eras of the world's history, you'd be dead by now.

  Stephen Hart : Helen. Now what the hell are you doing here?

  Helen Cutter : You know, all this urban living has made humans such lazy animals... secondary hearing, no sense of smell, no worthwhile instincts.

  Stephen Hart : Man has no predators. We have nothing to be afraid of except... each other.

  Helen Cutter : Well that used to be the case; but times are changing, aren't they, Stephen?

• Stephen Hart : What we need is some kind of edge, a weakness in its defenses that gives us an advantage, otherwise it's just gonna pick us off one-by-one.

  Connor Temple : Dogs. The dogs went crazy before it attacked. What would make them go off like that?

  Stephen Hart : Can't be smell. If there was a scent trail, they would have followed it.

  Professor Nick Cutter : Hearing. They heard something.

  Connor Temple : Sound. It's using sound.

  Professor Nick Cutter : That's why it was able to remain one step ahead of us! It can detect physical movement before it's within visual range!

  Connor Temple : And the dogs, they detect a higher frequency, therefore they know when it's nearby!

  Captain Ryan : Like echolocation?

  Professor Nick Cutter : High frequency sound waves, it's like a sonar system. Some animals use it to detect prey.

  Stephen Hart : Like a bat. Well, you said there was bat blood in the lion enclosure.

  Connor Temple : That's it. This thing must be some kind of... I dunno, super-bat.

  Helen Cutter : He's right. Three quarters of all mammal species are bats or rats; maybe the future belongs to them.

• Connor Temple : The creature's autopsy proves beyond any doubt that it was definitely a male.

  Stephen Hart : It's gotta have been female; it was nurturing its young!

  Connor Temple : Maybe in this species, that's a job for the boys?

  Stephen Hart : Better be, cos if not... it means the mother's still out there.

• Helen Cutter : You see, I don't want to be on my own anymore. You once said you'd do anything for me if I gave you the chance. Well, here it is. Come with me.

  Stephen Hart : Don't do this.

  Helen Cutter : Falling for one of your students is never a good idea, but sometimes these things just happen, you know?

  Professor Nick Cutter : [to Stephen]  How could you keep that from me for so many years?

  Stephen Hart : There wasn't a point in saying anything. It was a long time ago, in the past.

  Helen Cutter : The past has the habit of coming back these days, doesn't it?

• Helen Cutter : Well, are you coming?

  Stephen Hart : You know what I forgot, Helen? Sometimes you can be a real bitch.
