Funny / The Andromeda Strain

1971 Movie

• Dr. Ruth Leavitt's sarcasm is top notch.
  Jeremy: Oh, uh, you two know each other, don't you?
  Mark: By reputation only.
  Ruth: Ah yes, up to now we've had to worship from afar.
  Mark: (gives her a bewildered look)
  Jeremy: (good natured chiding) Be good Ruth.
  • And later, when she and the others argue to eradicate Andromeda as quickly as possible.
  Ruth: Establishment gonna fall down and go boom.
• I thought it was hilarious when Mr. Jackson tried to grab the nurse's thigh (through her Hazmat suit!) while being examined. Doesn't waste any time, does he?
  Karen: Feeling better aren't you, Mr. Jackson?
  Jackson: Eee-YEP!
• Nurse Karen Anson immediately shows she can give as good as she gets....
  Jackson: Do you really have to wear that iron suit?
  Karen: Eee-YEP!
• Mr. Jackson's assessment of the soon to be disaster of Andromeda getting loose due to the laboratory's own self-destruct device.
  Jackson: Hell of a way to run a hospital!
