Maybe we at war with Norway?
Childs, we're goin' out to give Blair the test. If he tries to make it back here and we're not with him... burn him.
Dr. Blair: [throwing a fit in the radio room] You guys think I'M crazy! Well, that's fine! Most of ya don't know what's goin' on around here, but I'm damn well sure SOME of you do!MacReady: Christ!Childs: He got most of the chopper and the tractor, and he's killed the rest of the dogs.MacReady: Garry, wait a minute, wait a minute. Now, Childs, go around to the map room door. Talk to him.Childs: Yeah.MacReady: Norris, get a table from the lab.Dr. Blair: D'ya think that thing wanted to be an animal? No dogs make it a thousand miles through the cold! No, you don't understand! That thing wanted to be US! If a cell gets out, it could imitate everything on the FACE OF THE EARTH! AAAAND NOTHING can stop it!Childs: Okay, Blair. Come on, man, you don't wanna hurt anybody.Dr. Blair: I'LL KILL YOU!
We're gonna draw a little bit of everybody's blood... 'cause we're gonna find out who's The Thing. Watchin' Norris in there gave me the idea that... maybe every part of him was a whole, every little piece was an individual animal with a built-in desire to protect its own life. Ya see, when a man bleeds, it's just tissue, but blood from one of you Things won't obey when it's attacked. It'll try and survive... crawl away from a hot needle, say.
