Montgomery Quotes in The Island of Dr. Moreau (1977)

Andrew Braddock: What kind of animals are on this island?

Montgomery: [Amused at the question] All kinds, Lad. All kinds.

[laughs]

Andrew Braddock: [to Moreau] What in the name of God are you doing?

Montgomery: Don't worry, Braddock. You'll get over it - just like I did!

Dr. Paul Moreau: If one is to study nature, one must become as remorseless as nature. You should know that!

Montgomery: Who's next? Me?

Alyssa: Hey... Do you know what today is?

Montgomery: Friday?

Alyssa: No, dodo bird. It's Armageddon day. The day the world's supposed to end. Look, have you ever heard of the Rapture?

Montgomery: The Siouxsie and the Banshees album?

Police Captain Finlay: What kind of guys?

Montgomery: You know the kind. Played it safe during the war, keepin' themselves in civvies, nice apartments, swell dames... you know the kind.

Police Captain Finlay: I'm not sure that I do.

Montgomery: Some of 'em are named Samuels, some of 'em have funnier names.

[Montgomery leaves]

Keeley: He oughta look at a casualty list sometime. There's a lot of funny names there, too.

Edward Douglas: Are you a doctor?

Montgomery: Well, I'm more of a vet.

[On why Dr. Moreau left the U.S]

Montgomery: Animal rights activists drove him out of the States. Got so bad you couldn't cage a rat without reading him his rights.

[When Edward Douglas attempts to radio for help]

Montgomery: What are you going to say? "Mayday. Mayday. I'm being held by a pig lady."

Montgomery: Well, things didn't work out. Moreau wanted to turn animals into humans and humans into gods. But it's instinct and reason, instinct and reason. What's reason to a dog?

Azazello: To hunt. To kill, master. To run with the pack.

Montgomery: I wanna go to Dog Heaven!

[Azazello shoots Montgomery]
