A beautiful woman by day - a lusting queen wasp by night. (taglines)

Janice Starling

 * Something's happening to me. I can't control it.
 * I don't intend to be restrained by timidity on the part of my own staff!

Other

 * Arthur Cooper: I'd stay away from wasps if i were you, Mrs. Starlin. Socially the queen wasp is on the level with a Black Widow spider. They're both carnivorous, they paralyze their victims and then take their time devouring them alive. And they kill their mates in the same way, too. Strictly a one-sided romance.

Dialogue

 * Bill Lane: You're as bad as she is! Oh, women!
 * Mary Dennison: Men! Every time you search for an answer, you always come up with women. You're not getting out of this one so easily. I'd like to know why you think Zinthrop really hasn't got something.
 * Bill Lane: Well, you can call it male intuition if you like... except there's something about this whole business that doesn't smell right... a private laboratory! A secret experiment! Zinthrop himself! The only thing missing is a genie with a lamp!
