- The air of the gallery was thick and fetid with the stink of them.

- The light was dim. Brown. Filtered through the crawling mass that swarmed over the glass all about us.

- The rats. They screamed and howled and threw themselves against the glass. They were starving.

- What can we do? What can we do?

Top rated lines from this movie

A wind that smelled like death. A wind that had smelled the slow and frightful death that came one night to this bare black rock.
