Fuchs : There's something wrong with Blair. He's locked himself in his room and he won't answer the door, so I took one of his notebooks from the lab.
MacReady : Yeah?
Fuchs : Listen: "It could have imitated a million life-forms on a million planets. It could change into any one of them at any time. Now, it wants life-forms on Earth."
MacReady : It's gettin' cold in here, Fuchs, and I haven't slept for two days.
Fuchs : Wait a minute, Mac, wait a minute.
[reads from the book]
Fuchs : "It needs to be alone and in close proximity with the life-form to be absorbed. The chameleon strikes in the dark."
MacReady : So is Blair cracking up or what?
Fuchs : Damn it, MacReady!
[reading from the notebook]
Fuchs : "There is still cellular activity in these burned remains. They're not dead yet!"
