Quotes of Movie: "Quatermass and the Pit" [1958]

  • Dr Matthew Roney:
    It's a funny word... worn out before anything turned up to claim it: Martian.

  • Private West:
    It was... it was a kind of figure. ... It went through the wall!

  • [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.

  • First Private:
    [watching Quatermass examine the capsule] What's the boffin up to?



    Cpl. Gibson:
    Gonna open it up with his little pocket knife.

  • The Minister:
    Do you know what you're implying? That we owe our human condition to the intervention of insects.

  • Sladden:
    Yeah, I reckon this'll cut through pretty well anything that exists. I did steel armor plate with it six inches thick, just like that! Oh, it was legal. Bloke shut in a strong room, I got him out. Secret job, like this one.



    Col. Breen:
    Then I'm glad you don't talk about it.

  • Sladden:
    What's in behind here? Anything dangerous?



    Prof. Quatermass:
    Probably not.



    Sladden:
    Ah, it's all right, I'm insured.


    [to Breen]



    Sladden:
    Are you insured sir? It's a good thing to be insured, at least it cheers you up.

  • First Journalist:
    Odd idea, this, calling a press conference.



    Second Journalist:
    What's odd about it?



    Third Journalist:
    I run from one to another.



    First Journalist:
    I take it you're the popular press.



    Third Journalist:
    Evening Gazette. What do you represent?



    First Journalist:
    The Palaeontologist.



    Third Journalist:
    [confused] Pal-?



    First Journalist:
    Ah. Not heard of it. It's a foremost scientific journal. The man you're going to interview is a palaeontologist.



    Third Journalist:
    Oh, this Roney. He's Canadian, isn't he?



    First Journalist:
    Possibly.

  • 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.

  • Well we'd just seen Gerry. I think he wanted somebody who had that authority and was handsome. The thing is, he's a big hunk isn't he? All I can say, if you look at his chat line, or the Phantom website, it's quite worrying. Because the girls really seem to love him. (Andrew Lloyd Webber)


    • Worst Quote

  • I'm thinking, this is Robert Redford. You know, he's won an Academy Award, he's talking to me about directing a movie he's in. So you just think that it's Hollywood stuff or whatever (Barry Levinson)
