Scientists turn men into beasts! (taglines)
Sheriff Jack Haines
Doctors try to save people. The Law doesn't always have a choice.
Dr. Jonas Gilcrist
We don't feel it much up here in a place like Mountain Crest, but the world's a place of change. Recently, for the first time in history, men were able to manufacture diamonds - real diamonds. For the first time, men are making new valves for the heart - and machines that can take all of a man's blood out of his body, and then put it back again while he's still breathing. Every day, science and medicine start up new roads.
Dialogue
Amy Standish: Jack, what are you trying to do, scare us half to death?
Sheriff Jack Haines: It wasn't an animal that killed Joe. The same goes for Clovey. It was a man.
Amy Standish: There were teeth marks of an animal on Joe's throat.
Dr. Jonas Gilcrist: She's right about the teeth marks.
Sheriff Jack Haines: I think we both are.
Dr. Jonas Gilcrist: Well, it had to be either animal OR man.
Amy Standish: There is a word for what you're saying, Jack.
Sheriff Jack Haines: Yeah, I went to school, Amy.
Dr. Jonas Gilcrist: Werewolf?
Dr. Emery Forrest: But to take a stranger, a man injured in an accident, and give him a full inoculation of that serum.
Dr. Morgan Chambers: Yes, I'd almost forgotten about him. So much could fail if he should remember and tell someone what he knows about us. There's nothing else left but to-...
Dr. Emery Forrest: You're not going to kill him!
Dr. Morgan Chambers: You think he still wants to live after what he's become? It would be an act of charity.
