The Thing from Another World/Funny

• A majority of the cast get off decent one-liners, due to Hawks' love of Deadpan Snarker characters.
• Nikki's immediate response to the question "How do you kill a carrot?"
  • "Cook it." Funny because it's given so quickly and nonchalantly that the audience can't help but chuckle at how simple a solution it could be.
• The thermite destroys the priceless Flying Saucer. They then find the alien corpse.

"How are we going to get it out of the ice?"
"How about some more thermite?"

• Scotty's gloomy comment on the likelihood of finding the Thing.

"When we lose 'em they stay lost!"

• The radio man's response, cut off by the closing door, to a casual last minute caution by Hendry.

"What do you mean guns are no good?!"

• This line towards Scotty, and Scotty's response.

"Well Scotty, did you get your picutre?"

• • Everyone looks to Scotty, only to watch him fall over backwards as he faints.
