Don't know what to think
Joannie 2022-03-22 09:01:08
It feels like Americans are...stupid? A group of scientists went to the extreme and chatted and fart all day long, drinking and cooking, wearing ripped jeans, and listening to Pop on a big power amplifier. Uh, after staying in the United States for a few years, most of them are indeed like this—but this is in the polar regions. You are scientists, do you still have a soldier? What about your basic common sense? What about professionalism? What about Descriptions of Duties? What about Chain of Command? There is a dress code for any freezer warehouse. You must read the safety notice before entering the warehouse. The goods must be checked in and out, and outsiders must be verified. If you already know that a dozen people in the next warehouse are dead, there are not a few left. Is it a little vigilant? !

Fuchs: Mac, it's important.
MacReady: What is it?
Fuchs: Outside.
MacReady: It's 40 below zero outside.

MacReady: I don't know. Thousands of years ago it crashes, and this thing... gets thrown out, or crawls out, and it ends up freezing in the ice.
Childs: I just cannot believe any of this voodoo bullshit.
Palmer: Childs, happens all the time, man. They're falling out of the skies like flies. Government knows all about it, right, Mac?
Childs: You believe any of this voodoo bullshit, Blair?
Palmer: Childs, Childs... Chariots of the Gods, man. They practically own South America. I mean, they taught the Incas everything they know.
Garry: So, come on now, MacReady, Norwegians get ahold of this... and they dig it up out of the ice.
MacReady: Yes, Garry, they dig it up, they cart it back, it gets thawed out, it wakes up... probably not the best of moods... I don't know, I wasn't there!
Nauls: [skates in with ripped long johns] 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?
George Bennings: And how can it look like a dog?
MacReady: I don't know how. 'Cause it's different than us, see? 'Cause it's from outer space. What do you want from me? Ask him!
[motions to Blair]
Childs: You buy any of this Blair?
