• 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.

• Prof. Hopkins : Do you know what zombies are?

  Mike Streger : No, I don't.

  Jerry Miles : I'm not too sure.

  Prof. Hopkins : They are the living dead!

  Worthington : [Panicking]  Oh, me, oh, my!

  Prof. Hopkins : Worthington, come back here!

  Worthington : Then please don't say that livin' dead stuff, boss. I'm one of the livin' livin', but you givin' me the feelin' that if I stayed here, I'm goin' to be one of the dead dead.

• Prof. Hopkins : His name was Dr. Renault, Dr. Paul Renault. Over twenty-five years ago, he went to the only place where zombies were known to exist - on the island of San Sebastian, one of the smaller Virgin Islands, but I haven't heard from him since.

  Mike Streger : Oh, we don't want to disturb him, do we Jerry?

  Prof. Hopkins : I don't know if he's alive or dead, but if he's alive, he can tell you what you want to know. Go to San Sebastian - Paul can help you.

  Jerry Miles : What's this Paul like... if he's alive?

  Prof. Hopkins : A great scientist. Yes, some people say he is crazy. I don't think he is crazy... well, ah, not very crazy, anyway.

  Ship's captain : San Sebastian.

  Mike Streger : Is it a nice place?

  Ship's captain : To an undertaker, a cemetary is a nice place.

• Mike Streger : I guess I better think of something, huh?

  Jerry Miles : No! That's what caused all the trouble before. You had to think of a zombie? You couldn't say a two-headed boy or an African pinhead?

  Mike Streger : Where could you get those?

  Jerry Miles : Well, a pinhead would have been easy. I don't know where to start lookin' for a zombie.

• Headwaiter : [at the Café San Sebastian]  What are you going to have?

  Jerry Miles : Uh, I'll have a rum punch.

  Mike Streger : Uh, I think I'll have something "tripical".

  Jerry Miles : You mean "tropical".

  Mike Streger : [holding up 3 fingers]  No, I mean "tripical". I'll have a tripical rum punch. I'm thirsty.
