[Mina jumps and gasps like something just grabbed her behind]
Rodney Skinner (The Invisible Man) : I've been waiting all week to do that.
Allan Quatermain : Get a grip, man.
Rodney Skinner (The Invisible Man) : Well, I thought I just did.
[Mina slaps him]
Rodney Skinner (The Invisible Man) : Oooh, Mina...
Captain Nemo : Report.
Rodney Skinner (The Invisible Man) : Well, hello to you, too. And need I remind you, I am naked in the snow. I can't feel any of my extremities. And I mean... any of them.
-

Rodney Skinner (The Invisible Man) : So, how did M get you?
Allan Quatermain : None of your business.
Mina Harker : You're a little testy, Mr. Q.
Allan Quatermain : Mrs. Harker, I doubt if you measure danger the way I do.
Mina Harker : And I imagine you with quite the library, Mr. Quatermain. All those books you must have read merely by looking at their covers.
Allan Quatermain : I've had women along on past exploits, and found them to be, at best, a distraction.
Mina Harker : Do I distract you?
Allan Quatermain : My dear girl, I've buried two wives and many lovers... and I'm in no mood for more of either.

Allan Quartermain : Well, we were the faster, but now we're the tortoise to his hare.
Dr. Henry Jekyll : So, we're done?
Tom Sawyer : No, we're alive. If M has any idea to the contrary, that gives us an edge.
Captain Nemo : The sea is vast, he could be anywhere.
Tom Sawyer : Yeah, well, I'm an optimist, now maybe that's a crime to you twisted so-and-so's but it keeps me from going crazy.
Mina Harker : Your optimism's out of place.
Tom Sawyer : You're wrong! Because we'll get out, man... at least, I will. That other agent I told you about... was my childhood friend. We were agents together until the Fantom shot him dead. Now you can be done, but I am not. I will avenge his death.
Dr. Henry Jekyll : It's not about any one of us, Tom, it's bigger than that.
Tom Sawyer : Yes, it is, Jekyll! The fate for the world is in our hands... the world! So M tricked you, he brought you all together and you walked straight into his trap. But the way that I see it, that's the part he did wrong... He brought you together.
Dr. Henry Jekyll : He has a point.
Allan Quartermain : And the boy becomes a man... perhaps a leader of men.
Mina Harker : And Women.

-
Sanderson Reed : There is great unrest. Countries set at each other's throats, baying for blood. It's a powder-keg. The trouble of which I speak could set a match to the whole thing: War.
Allan Quatermain : Wi-With whom, exactly?
Sanderson Reed : Everyone. A world war.
Allan Quatermain : That notion makes you sweat?
Sanderson Reed : Heavens, man. Doesn't it you?
Allan Quatermain : This is Africa, dear boy. Sweating is what we do.

Captain Nemo : Track it? I intend to catch it!

Allan Quartermain : The Phantom is M. And the hunt is still on.
Dr. Henry Jekyll : What are you talking about?
Allan Quartermain : The Phantom is M. The same man who recruited us.
Dr. Henry Jekyll : [trying to examine Allan's wound] Let me see that.
[he is shrugged off]
Captain Nemo : But how?
Allan Quartermain : We'll get our answers. Where are the others?
Mina Harker : [entering] Dorian's missing in action. And Mr. Skinner must have fled when he realized we knew.
Allan Quartermain : [concerned] Sawyer?
Tom Sawyer : [entering with a bloody lip] He'll live to fight another day.
Mina Harker : [advances towards Tom, he draws back] Don't worry, I've had my fill of throats for this evening.
-
Allan Quatermain : I may have been overly rude earlier... when I called you a pirate.

-
Allan Quatermain : I don't like theatrics.
M : After Africa's veldts, London's climate isn't affecting your mood, I see...
Allan Quatermain : Identify yourself.
M : I am known by many names, Mr. Quatermain. My underlings call me Sir. My superiors call me M.
Allan Quatermain : M?
M : Just M.
