General, I'll make a deal with you. You make me a sergeant in charge of the booze and I'll enlist. Make me a sergeant in charge of the booze! Make me a sergeant in charge of the booze!  P.S. This is a quote thread for Them! (1954). |

If she's the kind (of doctor) that takes care of sick people, I think I'll get a fever real quick.  |

Gentlemen, l understand your impatience. l know you are concerned with solving what is essentially a local crime.. . ...but please believe me, l am not being coy with you. lf l'm wrong, no harm has been done. But if l'm correct.. . ...and the mounting evidence only fortifies my theory.. . ...then something incredible has happened in this desert. ln which case, none of us will dare risk revealing it, because.. . ...none of us can risk a nationwide panic.  |

Old man Johnson could have died in any one of five ways: His neck and back were broken, his chest crushed, his skull fractured.. . ...and here's one for Sherlock Holmes: There was enough formic acid in him to kill 20 men.  |

Has there been any report of a strange mound? A cone-shaped structure? Something recently formed?  |

I'm Bob Graham.  It isn't Star Trek related, but as an ex-Floridian I couldn't resist.  |

Those Texans. When bigger stories are told, Texans will tell them. That ought to fit in with the kind of stuff they're looking for upstairs.  (This line is spoken by a young, uncredited, Leonard Nimoy!) |

None of the ants previously seen by man were more than an inch in length - most considerably under that size. But even the most minute of them have an instinct and talent for industry, social organization, and savagery that makes man look feeble by comparison.  |

That, gentlemen, is why you are here - to consider this problem and, I hope, solve it. Because unless you solve it, unless these queens are located and destroyed before they've established thriving colonies and can produce, heaven alone knows, how many more queen ants, man, as the dominant species of life on earth, will probably be extinct within... a year, Doc?  |

Is sugar a rare cargo? Is there a black market for it? Did you ever hear of a fence for hot sugar?  |

Myrmecologists! You see, that's what l mean! Why don't we all talk English? Then we'd have some understanding.  |
