"How fast it multiplies depends on a variety of factors. The incubation period, how long a person is contagious. Sometimes people can be contagious without even having symptoms."

"Somewhere in the world, the wrong pig met up with the wrong bat."

"It's a bad day to be a rhesus monkey."

"No one is immune to fear."

"The average person touches their face 2- or 3000 times a day. Three to five times every waking minute. In between, we're touching doorknobs, water fountains, elevator buttons, and each other. Those things become fomites."

"Jory Emhoff: [Rhetorically] Why can't they invent a shot that keeps time from passing?"

"Someone doesn't have to weaponize the bird flu. The birds are doing that."

"We're working very hard to find out where this virus came from. To treat it and to vaccinate against it if we can. We don't know all of that yet, we just don't know. What we do know, is that in order to become sick you have to first come in contact with a sick person or something that they touched. In order to get scared, all you have to do is to come in contact with a rumor, or the television or the internet. I think what Mr. Krumwiede is uh... is spreading, is far more dangerous than the disease."

"You know where this comes from, shaking hands? It was a way of showing a stranger you weren't carrying a weapon in the old days. You offered your empty right hand to show that you meant no harm."

"Sanaa Lathan - Aubrey Cheever"

"Can you hear that? The hounds are hungry! It's feeding time at the fucking zoo!"

"I've seen too many of my friends rush those gates, but before they could even get close, they were turned to fire and fell as ash. But with you here to lead us through, we are going to go all the way. Lady, I could eat you right up."

"This is our city! Whoever they send here, we're gonna catch them! We're gonna cook them! And we're gonna eat them!"

"Leave the dying to die."

"Rhona Mitra as Eden Sinclair"

"In the land of the infected, the immune man is king."

"They started this fire. They can burn in it!"

"Like so many epidemics before, the loss of so many lives began with a single microscopic organism. It's human nature to seek even the smallest comfort in reason or logic for events as catastrophic as these. But a virus doesn't choose a time or place. It doesn't hate or even care. It just happens."

"It now remains only a matter of time before the laws of nature seek to redress the balance."

"The fires have spread, the power supply is dwindling, and our food and water are running out fast. At night we can hear the distant cries of pain and anguish. They've begun to feed off each other. It's medieval out there. Ammunition is low. The barricades won't hold out much longer. Our time has run out. This is Dr. Marcus Kane signing off."

"Roger: Look! Do you believe it?"

"Dr. Holder: General Morton! When you asked us to work on Death One, you should have told us about the risks involved!"

"General Morton: My men have cordoned off the contaminated area. By tomorrow, the situation will be under control."

"Yes... I see. Evacuate the premises, and eliminate everyone there. Bury them in a mass grave. Then transport the body of the infector, with maximum precautions, you-know-where. Well done, lieutenant."

"Patricia: What's wrong? Why did you turn the radio off?"

"General Morton: We have to cut off the epidemic area!"

"It's empty... looks like I've had it!"

"That'll fix ya, you frigging monsters!"
