• Nick Hopewell : [They're in the air after the world below has disappeared after the langoliers have eaten it. The sun is setting]  It's going faster now, isn't it?

  Captain Brian Engle : Yeah. After awhile I think the days and nights will be going faster than a camera shutter can click. We're all going to Boston for different reasons. What about you, Nick? Fess up, the hour groweth late.

  Nick Hopewell : Well, why not? What does a Most Secret classification mean when you've just seen a bunch of killer hairballs rolling up the world?

• Nick Hopewell : [after Capt. Engle rolled up to the tarmac in Bangor]  Thank you for that welcome, my friend. My deep appreciation stems from the fact that it appears you're the only one who's going to extend one. This place is utterly, totally deserted!

• Craig Toomy : I have a meeting at Boston's Prudential Center at nine o'clock this morning! Promptly at nine o'clock! That's what's important. Now, I booked a seat on this conveyance in good faith, and I have no intention of being late for that appointment! Now, I have three questions for you. Number 1: who authorized an unscheduled stop for this airliner while I was asleep? Number 2: where that stop was made, and number 3: WHY, why was that done?

  Nick Hopewell : Did you ever watch Mr. Spock on Star Trek? Because if you don't shut your cakehole, you bloody idiot, I'll be only too happy to demonstrate his Vulcan sleeper hold for you.

• Nick Hopewell : one of us is going to have to die.

• Nick Hopewell : no theres is no need to draw straws i'll do it.
