Quote context

[...]

- It seemed we had waited for hours, when all at once, through the blazing ring around us, an apparition hurtled and fell full length on the ground.

- It was Leiningen... alive with ants, unconscious, with blazing eyes and lacerated face.

- We rushed to him, stripped off his clothes, and tore at the ants that covered him.

- His body seemed almost one open wound. In one place, I could see a white bone.

- Later, as the curtain of flame lowered, I looked out to where that blanket of ants had been and saw only a vast expanse of water, covering the entire plantation and working its way to within a few feet of the concrete ditch.

- The ants were gone... drowned... and Leiningen had won.

- He lay on his bed, his body swathed from head to foot with bandages. But alive. And still in command.

- Everything in order?

- Everything's in order.

- I told you I'd come back. Even if I am a bit streamlined.

- You are groping through a dark alleyway in the French Quarter of New Orleans, with terror driving you on...

- And always before your eyes is the malevolent stare of a voodoo man striking you with a deadly curse from which you must escape!

Top rated lines from this movie

Yes, it was right that it should be like this. But now there was no more time for thought... only action.

All my life, I have lived with one creed: The human brain needs only to become fully aware of its powers to conquer even the elements.

Critical situations only become crises when oxen and women get excited. -I see.

You don't know these ants! I tell you, you don't know these ants!

Ten miles long, two miles wide... ants, nothing but ants! And each one as big as your thumb and each of them a fiend from hell.
