The Last of Us

"Lyin' on the couch watchin' Sunday football. That greasy smell of a downtown hot dog. Fourth of July, family barbecues. The sound of a plane flyin' overhead. Just one peaceful night... a clean conscience — all gone...."

"Listen to me — if I get in trouble down there, you make every shot count."

"And just so we're clear about back there... It was either him or me."

"I struggled for a long time with survivin'. And you—No matter what, you keep finding something to fight for."

"Endure and survive."

"I guess no matter how hard you try, you can’t escape your past. Thank you."

"You wanna know the best thing about my job? I don't gotta know why. Be honest with you, I could give two shits what you're up to."

"Tommy saw the world one way, I saw the other."

"You're treading on some mighty thin ice here."

"They sacrifice the few to save the many."

"You have no idea what loss is."

"You're right. You're not my daughter- and I sure as hell ain't your dad. And we are going our separate ways."

"It's called luck, and it is gonna run out."

"This is our routine. Day and night, all we do is survive. It never lets up. He tells me how these streets were crowded with people just... going about their lives. Heh, must've been nice."

"After all we've been through. Everything that I've done. It can't be for nothing."

"Tell them that... Ellie is the little girl... that broke your fucking finger!"

"Everyone I have cared for has either died, or left me. Everyone—fucking except for you! So don't tell me I would be safer with somebody else, because the truth is, I would just be more scared."

"Well, maybe in all that research they turned into fucking monkeys."

"To the edge of the universe and back. Endure and survive."

"Where are anyone's parents? They've been gone a long, long time."

"I'm gonna find...and I'm gonna kill...Every. Last. One of them."

"We're not murderers. We just survive."

"I will not turn into one of those things. [beat] Come on. Make this easy for me."

"Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, I had somebody that I cared about. [beat] It was a partner.... Somebody I had to look after. And in this world, that sort of shit's good for one thing — gettin' ya killed. So you know what I did? I wisened the fuck up. And I realized it's gotta be just me."

"You know, as bad as those things are, at least they're predictable. It's the normal people that scare me."

"You're lucky you're still drawing breath. That was plan A, B, C, all the way to fuckin' Z!"

"Now, this winter has been especially cruel. A few weeks back, I... sent a group of men out — nearby town to look for food. Only a few came back. They said that the other had been... slaughtered by a crazy man. And get this — he's a crazy man travelin' with a little girl. You see? Everything happens for a reason."

"[on recorder] "It's 5:30PM on... April 28th. I just finished speaking... More like yelling at our head surgeon. Apparently there's no way to extricate the parasite without eliminating the host. Fancy way of saying we gotta kill the fucking kid. And now they're asking for my go ahead. The tests just keep getting harder and harder, don't they? I'm so tired. I'm exhausted and I just want this to end... So be it.""

"I lost most of my crew crossing the country. I pretty much lost everything. And then you show up and somehow we find you just in time to save her. [beat] Maybe it was meant to be."

"There is no other choice here."

"You're gonna be really happy you didn't kill me."
