• [Regarding last shark] 

  Dr. Susan McCallister : We have to kill her.

  Carter Blake : That's the smartest thing you've said all day.

• Russell Franklin : Just what the hell did you do to those sharks?

  Dr. Susan McCallister : Their brains weren't large enough to harvest sufficient amounts of the protein complex. So we violated the Harvard Compact. Jim and I used gene therapies to increase their brain mass. A larger brain means more protein. As a side effect the sharks got smarter.

  Janice Higgins : You stupid bitch!

• Dr. Susan McCallister : [after slashing her hand to use the blood as bait]  She may be the smartest animal on the planet, but she's still just an animal. Come to mama.

• Dr. Susan McCallister : You wait your whole life for a single moment and then suddenly it's tomorrow.

• Dr. Susan McCallister : Tell me Mr. Franklin, have you ever known anyone with Alzheimer's?

  Russell Franklin : Well, no.

  Dr. Susan McCallister : By the end all my father could do was ask why my mother wasn't at home, and each time I told him she was dead I had to watch him take that loss like a car wreck. 200,000 men and women develop Alzheimer's each year! What if you could end all that suffering with a single pill? Give me till Monday morning, 48 hours. I'll give you results that'll skyrocket your stock price or I'll help you pack the lab myself. It's your call.

• Dr. Susan McCallister : We're this close to the reactivation of a human brain cell.
