Daily Dialogue — February 18, 2010

“No, you hold on. First was your firecracker, a harmless explosive. Then your hand grenade: you began to kill your own people, a few at a time. Then the bomb. Then a larger bomb: many people are killed at one time. Then your scientists stumbled upon the atom bomb, split the atom. Then the hydrogen bomb, where you actually explode the air itself. Now you can arrange the total destruction of the entire universe served by our sun: The only explosion left is the Solaranite.”

 — Eros (Dudley Manlove), Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959), written & directed by Edward D. Wood Jr.

Daily Dialogue theme this week: Monster movie dialogue suggested by GITS reader Patrick Sweeney.
