Mrs. Bickerman : Oh, my husband passed away. It's been almost two years now.
Sheriff Hank Keough : My department doesn't have any record of that, Mrs. Bickerman.
Mrs. Bickerman : Well, I'm sorry. Incomplete records haunt me so.
Jack Wells : What was the cause of your husband's death, ma'am? Do you know?
Kelly Scott : We don't mean to invade your privacy, but was he ill, was he sick?
Sheriff Hank Keough : Was he swallowed?
-
Kelly Scott : His scales were oval. He's an Asian Crocodile.
Sheriff Hank Keough : Why... why would he come here? I mean, it's impossible. Asia. How would he get here?
Hector Cyr : Obviously some asshole in Hong Kong flushed him down the toilet.

Kelly Scott : [on the phone with the wildlife services] Thank you, it's so rewarding to imagine my tax dollar finding its way to you, you fuckshit!
Hector Cyr : You are a saucy flirt.

Sheriff Hank Keough : Tents were sent ahead. Should already be set up by the time we get there.
Kelly Scott : Tents? We're staying in TENTS?
Sheriff Hank Keough : I told you, two days we'd have to camp.
Kelly Scott : Yes! Camp! But I thought that meant Ramada Inn. I never heard tents! Will there be toilets?
Jack Wells : Maybe we should just take you back.
Kelly Scott : Why? Because I prefer toilets?
Kelly Scott : Maybe I should just wipe myself with some leafy little piece of poison oak. And then I can spend the whole day scratchin' my ass, blendin' in with the natives.
-
Kelly Scott : The lake is so black and still.
Sheriff Hank Keough : Yeah, we wanted to call it Lake Placid, but someone said that name was taken.

Kevin : [Kevin has just broken up with Kelly] Hey.
Kelly Scott : Oh, hey Kevin! What's going on? What's happening? How's it goin'? How's your family? Good? That's great, it's so nice to see you. Fuck off.

Sheriff Hank Keough : We're saved! The museum in New York just sent us some additional backup.
Kelly Scott : Kelly Scott.
Jack Wells : Jack Wells.
Kelly Scott : Hi.
Jack Wells : Eh, some museum sent ya', huh?
Kelly Scott : What, are we all museum bigots in Maine?
Sheriff Hank Keough : She's rude sarcastic. You two should get along.
-
Kelly Scott : What kind of backup do we have?
Sheriff Hank Keough : We?
Kelly Scott : What?
Sheriff Hank Keough : Well, I'm a little unclear as to why the museum would send somebody here.
Kelly Scott : You got a thing against museums?
Sheriff Hank Keough : Naw, I got nothin' against museums.
Kelly Scott : Ever been in one?
-
Kelly Scott : I don't do field and even if I did... Maine? I'm allergic to timber!

Kelly Scott : [closing dialogue at end of movie] Doesn't anyone "make a move" around here in Maine?
Jack Wells : [opens the passenger door and moves his bag] Get in.
Kelly Scott : You move a bag and that's it? That's your "move"?
Jack Wells : Come on, I know a good bar where we can get some beers.
Kelly Scott : [gets in and closes the door] Are the glasses clean?
Jack Wells : Uhh... yeah. Are you gonna complain like this all night?
Kelly Scott : [gives him a look] Start the car Jack.
Jack Wells : [gives her a look] I miss the crocodile already.
[they both laugh and drive away]
Jack Wells : [end of movie]
-
Kelly Scott : Uh, there's something I wanted to ask you. What's it like to be a woman in the woods of Maine? I mean, the guys don't turn all horny or anything like they did in Deliverance, right?
[She sees Jack Wells is listening]
Kelly Scott : Ahh... I knew you were there.
Jack Wells : Hmm. Never been to Maine before, huh?
Kelly Scott : Oh, I have good hygiene, I'm not welcome.

Kelly Scott : He thinks they're godly.
Sheriff Hank Keough : What was that?
Kelly Scott : In his defense, every primitive culture known to man deified them: ancient China, Egypt, Australia, Asia... Going back in history, crocodiles have been more worshipped than Jesus.
Sheriff Hank Keough : Is this supposed to make us take him more seriously?
Kelly Scott : No, it's supposed to make you understand him.
-
Jack Wells : It's not a science trip.
Kelly Scott : Could you be a little more condescending? 'Cause I'm not real great with subtlety.
Jack Wells : Something in that lake killed somebody, all right? I appreciate your trying to help. I'm really glad that you... brought the RAID.
Kelly Scott : There, that's better.
Jack Wells : Ma'am...
Kelly Scott : Look, if you call me "ma'am" one more time I'll sue you, and with today's laws, it's possible.
Sheriff Hank Keough : She's good.
-
Kelly Scott : Did you want to be killed by it?
Hector Cyr : You think I'm that nuts?
Kelly Scott : Hector, what you just did, there had to be some sort of death wish going on.
Hector Cyr : In ancient Malenesia people suspected of crime's would be thrown to the crocodiles. Crocodiles would decide. They would be the judge.
Kelly Scott : Oh, so that was you wanting to be judged out there?
Hector Cyr : Maybe I was, and so what? Is that too arbitrary? Better to be measured by my wealth? Better for me to get my self-esteem looking into the eyes of cheap sycophants craving a meal ticket? There was more honesty in those dragon's eyes. There was more dignity in those dragon's eyes...
Kelly Scott : Jesus, Hector cut the shit.
Hector Cyr : Aw, fuck it.
-
Kelly Scott : We're doing the right thing.
[trapping instead of killing the crocodile]
Jack Wells : You might think differently if you get eaten.
Kelly Scott : Gee, thanks.
-
[Kelly slaps Keough]
Sheriff Hank Keough : Quit hitting me!
Kelly Scott : Stop throwing heads at me!
-
Sheriff Hank Keough : The tooth is in here.
Kelly Scott : Well that's... that's the morgue.
Sheriff Hank Keough : Yes.
Kelly Scott : Well, uh... is the dead guy in there?
Sheriff Hank Keough : That's where they keep 'em. Look, you want me to bring the tooth out here?
Kelly Scott : No. No, let's... after you.
