Movie: Quatermass and the Pit(1967)


Col. Breen:
Mars is dead, nothing there but a few scraps of lichen.


Professor Bernard Quatermass:
Five million years ago it may have been very different. Suppose at that time there were living beings on it with techniques that let them visit the Earth at a time when the most highly evolved creatures here, our own ancestors, were only a type of Pliocene ape.

Minister of Defense:
Go on.

Minister of Defense:
Oh, and the insects were responsible?

Professor Bernard Quatermass:

Col. Breen:
And you really believe this was possible? That apes were systematically taken from this planet to another and...

Professor Bernard Quatermass:
Altered, by selective breeding, atomic surgery, methods we can't guess, and with new faculties instilled in them, high intelligence, perhaps something else.

Howell:
Surely it had to be carried out on a hugh scale.

You realize what you are implying? That we owe our human condition here to the intervention of insects.

Professor Bernard Quatermass:
I suppose I am.
