Quotes 

• [Megan is turning into a werewolf due to the full moon] 

  Megan : It's that time of month.

• [Megan is turning into a werewolf] 

  Megan : [to Cooper]  You may think all women are bitches... but I'm the real thing.

• Megan : What happened?

  Spoon : What happened? We were attacked by huge fuckin' howlin' things, that's what.

• [about the werewolves] 

  Megan : They were always here. I just unlocked the door.

• Wells : [Wells is drunk while Megan and Cooper proceed to care for his wound] 

  [about Cooper] 

  Wells : I tell you what, I love him. I love you! Like the mate that I... that I love.

  Megan : Would you like to be alone?

• Joe : You're serious about this werewolf thing aren't ya?

  Megan : I'm afraid so.

  Joe : Shit. Don't suppose you know who won the match?

  Megan : I didn't know there was a game on.

  Joe : [Sternly]  It's not a game.

• Joe : This is bone. This is so fucking bone.

  Cooper : Anything else?

  Megan : Yeah. What does 'bone' mean?

  Spoon : Bone; Bollocks, naff.

  Joe : Not. Very. Good.

  Megan : Right. Anything else I should know?

  Cooper : Call signs. You need to be specific. Upstairs you've got Sergeant Wells who you seem to know inside and out by now. Over there you've got Spoon, the vomiting cavalier is Terry, and the big guy with the axe is Joe.

• Cooper : [Upon learning about the werewolves]  I may be nuts but I'm no fruitcake.

  Megan : Fine. Stay here and... drink tea!

• Megan : Every month, when the moon is full, they hunt as a team. Dedicated to the kill. During that time, at least fifteen people have vanished. Hikers mostly. In small groups or alone. They're caught out in the open, hunted down, torn apart and devoured. I've never witness the actual slaughter, but the next day, no bodies, no werewolves, just blood.

• [after discussing how low they are on ammo] 

  Megan : Tell me. Honestly, what are our chances?

  Cooper : Morale seems good, considering. But that will only last as long as the ammunition holds out. Although high spirits are just no substitute for eight hundred rounds a minute, but I don't think that's what you wanted to hear.

• Megan : I'm sorry. When I found you out there tonight I truly believed you were the best chance I had of getting out. But now we have no chance. There is no out there never was. I came here to be at one with nature when I got what I wanted... . now I have to live with it.

  Cooper : There's no house in the next glen.

  Megan : No.

  Cooper : And there were no werewolves in the barn when it blew.

  Megan : Not one.

  Cooper : And the reason you're not in the photograph is because you took it.

  Megan : I never meant to..

  Cooper : [interrupts her]  you women. Same old shit.

  Megan : Being nice to women will get you nowhere Cooper. Being nice to me will get you killed. You may think they're all bitches but... I'm the real thing.

  [she starts to transform but she painfully represses it] 

  Megan : Do you think I like being part of this fucked up family? You think I chose to run with the pack? No. I chose you. But now you're out of luck, and I'm out of time, and all we can do is let nature take its course. They were always here. I just unlocked the door. It's that time of the month.

  [Werewolves appear behind her, she lifts her face up hissing with her fangs as her eyes glow yellow] 

  Sergeant Harry Wells : [Wells shoots Megan in the face causing her fall to backwards]  Somebody had to put her out of her misery.

• Cooper : Any questions?

  Joe : Just the one, Coop. Exactly what is it we're fighting against?

  Cooper : Megan, do you wanna run it past the boys?

  Megan : Lycanthrope.

  Joe : You what?

  Cooper : That's werewolves to you and me.

  Joe : You're taking the piss.

  Spoon : What? It makes perfect sense to me.

• Megan : I came here to be at one with nature, well I got what I wanted. Now I have to live with it.

• Megan : Up until today you believed there was a line between myth and reality. Maybe a very fine line sometimes but at least there was a line. Those things out there are REAL. If they're real, what else is real? You know what lives in the shadows now. You may never get another night's sleep as long as you live.

• Megan : What's the glue for?

  Cooper : Ever wondered why the best thing that superglue sticks together is your fingers? Forget your grandma's china cups - this stuff was developed for the Vietnam war to patch up broken soldiers.

• Megan : But they're good people, they're kind people.

  Cooper : More's the pity.

  Megan : Why?

  Cooper : Cause we're gonna have to kill them all.

• Spoon : They shut down the generator!

  Terry : Why would they do that?

  Megan : Because they can see in the dark.

  Ryan : And you're afraid of it.

• Joe : [as the soldiers prepare for the werewolf attack]  This is a pile of rancid shit!

  Megan : [to Cooper]  Now what do you believe?

  Cooper : I'm beginning to believe you, but I think Joe might have worded it better.

• Megan : Are you sure he should be chasing painkillers with whisky?

  Cooper : Yeah, well, he's earned it.

• Cooper : I'm not about to second guess these things. They're the enemy, simple as that.

  Megan : This is no ordinary enemy.

• Megan : There's only one house within 50 miles of here, and it's mine. And I'm not there!
