- Hank, you've got the radio?

- That was quick thinking, Dale.

- Oh Hank, you must get through.

- I know it. It's gone dead.

- I am afraid that won't help you, Hank. By the time ships and planes can arrive, this island will have vanished beneath the waves of the sea. But you will not drown. You will be a part of me.

- And as with McLane, there will be no evidence of how you vanished or of my existence.

- We will rest in the caves and plan our assault upon the world of men!

The pity is that all fires must one day burn out.
Preservation of the species. Once they were men, now they are land crabs.

We are unquestionably on the brink of a great discovery. It is not likely that that discovery will be of a pleasant nature.
We are dealing with a man who is dead, but whose voice and memory live. How this can be, I do not know. But its implications are far more terrible than any ghost could ever be.
