• Ward : What touched this place cannot be quantified or understood by human science. It was just a color out of space. A messenger from realms whose existence stuns the brain and numbs us with the gulfs that it throws open before our frenzied eyes.

• Ward : [about Ezra's cat]  What's her name?

  Benny : G-spot.

  Ward : [puzzled]  What?

  Benny : [funny]  What? Come on. That's like the coolest name ever. A pussy named G-Spot? It's totally hilarious.

  Ward : West of Arkham the hills rise wild and there are valleys with deep woods that no ax has ever cut. There are dark, narrow glens where the trees slope fantastically where thin brooklets trickle without ever having caught the glimpse of sunlight. When I went into the hills and vales to survey for the new reservoir, they told me the place was evil. They told me this in Arkham, and because that is a very old town, full of witch legends, I thought the evil must be something which grandams had whispered to children through centuries. Then I saw the dark westward tangle of glens and slopes for myself and ceased to wonder at anything besides its own elder mystery.

  Ward : I hope the dammed water that covers this place will be very deep. But even then I will never drink it. There are only a few of us that remember the strange days now. What touched this place cannot be quantified or understood by human science. It was just a color out of space, a messenger from realms whose existence stuns the brain and numbs us with the gulfs that it throws open before our frenzied eyes.

• Ward : [using Ezra's headphones]  What exactly am I supposed to be listening to?

  Ezra : The people under the floor, dude. The aliens. They're there.

  Ward : Well, yeah, it is strange. But it's probably geothermal activity or magnetic distortions.

  Ezra : No, no.

  Ward : Something like that.

  Ezra : They came on the rock.

  Ward : Look, no offense, Ezra, but that's pretty out there.

  Ezra : You don't get it, do you? It's not out there. It's in here. It's in the static. It's in the moisture. Up is down. Fast is slow. What's in here is out there, and what's out there is in here now. Comprendo?

  Ward : Um, look, why don't you think about getting out of here for a while? I'm gonna be back tomorrow. I'll have some more equipment with me. I'm sure it will all make more sense in the morning.

  Ezra : Morning? Dude, it's already morning.

• Ward : [screams in terror]  You're dead, Nathan!

• Lavinia : [surprised]  Are you looking at my legs?

  Ward : [shy]  What? Oh. No. Um... No, I was...

  Lavinia : [funny]  Yeah, sure you weren't. Come on.

• Ward : Oh, hey, I will let you know if I see G-spot.

  Ezra : You might see her, but I don't think you'll recognize her.

• Nathan Gardner : Who's this?

  Lavinia : Oh, this is that weird guy I met by the river. Sorry, what was your name again?

  Ward : Ward Phillips.

  Nathan Gardner : Let me guess. Boston.

  Ward : Providence, actually.

• Nathan Gardner : [receiving Ward and Sheriff Pierce in his house]  It's you. Toxologist.

  Ward : I'm the hydrologist, sir, yeah. Um, we came to make sure you're okay.

  Nathan Gardner : [touched]  That's very kind of you. We've been having a hard time, you know? The car and telephone and Wi-Fi. Heh, life in the sticks.
