JOHNNY: They're coming for you! Look! There comes one of them now!

and he shook his fist at me and said, "Boy, you'll be damned to Hell!" Remember that?
Right over there. Boy, you used to really be scared here.
BEN: Now get the hell down in the cellar. You can be the boss down there, but I'm boss up

BEN: Don't you know what's goin' on out there? This is no Sunday School picnic!
BEN: They know we're in here now.
BEN: I ought to drag you out there and FEED you to those things!

ME! And that includes leaving the girl alone!
BARBARA: Johnny has the keys...
BARBARA: Don't you understand? My brother is alone!
BEN: Your brother is dead.
BARBARA: NO! My brother is NOT dead!
