Is it a virus? || We don't know.
How does it spread? Airborne? || Airborne is a possibility. We don't know.
Is this an international health hazard or a military concern? || Both.
Are these people alive or dead? || We don't know.

Michael: You don't want to go that way.
Anna: What's that way?
Michael: It's pretty bad.
Kenneth: What about Fort Pastor?
Andre: If you had wings. The road's thick with those motherfuckers.
Kenneth: How do you know?
Michael: We just tried. Back when there was 8 of us.
We're going to the mall.

Reporter: How do you kill these things?
Sheriff Cahill: Just shoot them in the head.
They go down permanently when you shoot them in the head.
Then you gotta burn them.

 
Andre: I hear you talking a lot, you're always saying something,
who the fuck are you that we should listen?
Were you like in the marines? What the fuck do you do?
Michael: I sell televisions at Best Buy.
Andre, to Kenneth: Hey, Officer, how do you like following a guy that sells TVs?
Kenneth: About as much as I like following a guy who steals them.
I'm not following anyone.

Hell is overflowing and Satan is sending his dead to us.
Why?
Because you have sex out of wedlock, you kill unborn children,
you have man-on-man relations, same sex marriage.
How do you think your God will judge you?
Well, friends, now we know.
When there is no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth.


Michael: The truck won't make it to Fort Pastor.
Steve: Forget it. That place is fucked. Bloodbath city.
Kenneth: How do you know?
Norma: We just came from there.
Kenneth: Is everyone there dead?
Steve: Dead-ish.
Kenneth: Is everyone there dead?
Steve: Yeah, in the sense that they all sort of fell down and then got up, started eating each other.


Ana: The bites killed her. The bites brought her back.
Andre: How do you know?
Ana: I watched it happen. I felt her pulse, she was gone. Then...
Yesterday I saw the same thing.
I think that's why it spread so fast.


Ana: We have to quarantine him.
Kenneth: Where do we do that?
Ana: I don't know, there must be some place here.
Michael: Then what?
Ana: I don't know, but...
Michael: It's too dangerous for us to keep him here.
Ana: I'm sorry, what are we talking about? Are we talking about killing him?
Michael: You'd rather wait for him to die and then he kills us?
Ana: You can't kill him. He's got a daughter!
Michael: I'm sorry. There's no other choice.

Steve: Let me tell you something.
You have my permission... If I ever turn into one of those things, blow my fucking head off.
Ana: O, yeah, you can count on that.

Excuse me.
Not to shit on anyone's riff but let me see if I grasp this concept.
You're saying we take the parking shuttles, reinforce them with aluminum siding
and then head to the gun store where our friend Andy plays some cowboy-movie,
jump-on-the-wagon bullshit.
Then we drive across a ruined city through thousands of dead cannibals,
all so we can sail off into the sunset on this fucking asshole's boat? 
And head for some island which may not even exist?
I'm in.
