Bill Randa: You heard of the U.S.S. Lautmann? Neither did the public. Out of a thousand young men on that ship I was the only survivor.

We specialize in the hunting of Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms.

Preston Packard: You knew that thing was out here?

Bill Randa: I'm sorry for your men. Believe me I truly am. Get us home. With proof. So that we can send the cavalry.

Preston Packard: I AM the cavalry.
