• Jerry Miles : You see, we're doing some research work on zombies, and he said you could help us.

  Dr. Paul Renault : The fool! I know nothing about zombies. I came here to study a strange coconut blight.

  Mike Streger : Coconut blight? He said it was a banana blight.

  Dr. Paul Renault : Oh, Joseph is color blind.

• Jerry Miles : Professor, I don't understand it. Professor Hopkins said you made a great study of zombies.

  Dr. Paul Renault : Professor Hopkins always was strange. Some people say he was crazy, but I don't think he was crazy... not very crazy, anyway.

• Dr. Paul Renault : Oh, what is wrong, what is wrong? How can the natives do with their silly voodoo what I cannot accomplish by scientific means?

  Joseph : Perhaps because a zombie is something of the devil, not of science, Professor.

  Dr. Paul Renault : Nonsense. Nonsense! You have seen what I am able to do; you have seen me create a zombie. If only I could keep them in that state. If only they didn't die; return to normal in a short period...

• Joseph : It seems a waste to make a beautiful girl a zombie.

  Dr. Paul Renault : She'll be just as nice to look at... and if this formula works, her beauty will be preserved indefinitely.

• Dr. Paul Renault : There's no need to be afraid; the serum is entirely painless. Oh, you probably saw your friend and you wondered what was wrong with him. There's no harm in telling you now... he's in a state of suspended animation - that is, he is capable of functioning only under thought suggestions not his own. Or more simply... he is a *zombie*. In a few moments, you, too, will be one.
