Quotes 

• Major Collins : We'll give 'em hell, Malone! We'll show 'em what the human race is really made of!

• General Platt : We've learned... it's the race that's important. Not the individual.

  Major Collins : The individual is *always* important.

• Major Collins : I'm interested in the kind of effects exposure to these chemicals can have on people.

  Steve Malone : Effects? You know, you got a lot of chemicals on this base, they're all pretty toxic. The effects physically, they can be devastating.

  Major Collins : I'm not talking physically, I'm referring to psychological effects.

  Steve Malone : I'm not following you.

  Major Collins : Can they effect the brain patterns, can they interfere with chemo-neurological processes? Can they foster psychoses, paranoias... narcophobias?

  Steve Malone : Well I'm a chemist, I'm not a psychiatrist, I don't know.

  Major Collins : Simply, can they alter a person's view of reality? Let me be frank, I'm seeing people at the infirmary, who are exhibiting, extreme delusional fixations. People afraid to sleep, people afraid to deal with family members, afraid *of* family members, uh, exhibiting, paranoia about others, about other people's identities, people afraid of themselves. Suddenly I've got a camp full of very deplaced people.

  Steve Malone : I don't know what you're seeing but it's not the PCBs. That phenomenon is not part of the symptomology.

  Major Collins : I need you to keep me up to date on your research, I'm worried about these... people.

  Steve Malone : [under his breath]  Better take a vacation, doc.
