Movie Quote(s):
- Dr. Tim Mason: [demonstrating his cryogenic technique to other doctors with a cancer patient] Metabolism at this time is practically nil!

Dr. Leon Kravaal: [to Mason, who has just revived him] It's yesterday afternoon to me, but to you it's ten years ago!
-
Dr. Leon Kravaal: No other doctor has ever been able to grasp the basic principles of what I am doing. I've explained it to the highest authorities in medicine, and they scoffed at it, calling me insane! I must furnish them a living proof!
-
Dr. Leon Kravaal: Let it sink into your brain that this is the year 1940, and that you've been buried, lost, frozed in the ice for ten years!

Dr. Tim Mason: [after Kravaal has shot Adams in the back] He's dead! Dist. Atty. John Hawthorne: Murdered! Dr. Leon Kravaal: [bitterly] You call everything murder, don't you?
