"[regarding Hannah] I don't want her to have to fucking cope! I want her to be okay. When Hannah had her dad it was okay. It was okay for them and it was okay for us. Now it's all just fucked..."

"And that stuff about the answer to infection -- I mean, there is no answer to infection! It's already done pretty much all the damage they can!"

"It started off as rioting. But right from the beginning you knew this was different, because it was happening in small villages, market towns... and then it wasn't on TV anymore. It was on the street outside. It was coming through your windows. It was a virus, an infection. You didn't need a doctor to tell you that. It was the blood, or something in the blood. By the time they tried to evacuate the cities, it was already too late. The infection was everywhere. The army blockades were overrun, and that's when the exodus started. The day before the TV and radio stopped broadcasting, there were reports of infection in Paris and New York. You didn't hear anything more after that."

"Listen to me, listen to me! It's not all fucked..."

"[to Selena, who has just attempted to kill him] That was longer than a heartbeat."

"Oh, great, valium. Not only will we be able to get to sleep, but if we're attacked in the middle of the night, we won't even care."

"No, see-- See, this is a really shit idea. You know why? Because it's really obviously a shit idea."

"What is it about tower blocks and shopping trolleys, huh?"

"Please tell me what the fuck is going on!"

"It's getting Dark."

"Are you afraid of the dark? You will be …"

"Yes. It's this idea of a psychological virus. Like road rage, that moment when the red mist descends, if you magnify that a thousand times and experience it to the exclusion of everything else, imagine what that kind of power would be like. That was our monster. If you really think about that, it's very, very scary indeed."

"Return to normality"

""...people killing people." -Our rage is destroying humanity; whether on a large or small scale, slowly but surely."

"Farrell: ...Marge walks onto this ship. Smithers says, "Women and seamen don't mix." And Mr. Burns says, "We all know what you think, Smithers." And that was my favorite ever joke in The Simpsons. And see, that's what they’re doing, a few hundred miles from here across the channel -- across the Atlantic. They’re eating dinner and they’re watching the fucking Simpsons! They’re sleeping in their beds next to their wives...! But we’re here, chained to a fucking radiator because the OC HAS GONE INSANE! Starting the world again when the rest of the fucking world hasn’t even stopped! Just imagine it. Just think about it! How could infection cross the oceans? How could it cross the mountains and the rivers? Th- They-- They stopped it! And right now TVs are playing and planes are flying in the sky and the rest of the world is continuing as fucking normal. Think. Actually think about it. What would you do with a diseased little island? They quarantined us. "There is no infection, it's just people killing people." He's insane!"

"[last words] Wait... NO!"

"I remember my dad had all this cash. He thought maybe we could buy our way onto a plane, even though cash was completely useless. Ten thousand other people had the same idea. The crowd was surging. I lost my grip on my sister's hand. I remember the ground felt very soft, and I saw I was standing on people. People who had fallen. Like a carpet. There were infected in the crowd- it spread fast. You couldn't get away, you could only climb, climb over more people. So I did that. So I climbed, I climbed on top of more people. I got up on top of this kiosk. Looking down you couldn't tell which faces were infected and which weren't. Then I saw my dad. Not my mum or my sister. My dad. I saw his face... Selena's right. You should be grateful."

"So lesson one -- you never go anywhere alone, unless you've got no choice. And lesson two- you only travel during daylight, unless you've got no choice."

"Man walks into a bar with a giraffe. They both get pissed. The giraffe falls over. The man goes to leave, the barman says "Oi! You can't leave that lying there!" He says "No, it's not a lion. It's a giraffe!" [Jim fails to laugh. To Selena:] He's completely humourless. You two should get on like a house on fire!"

"You killed all my boys."

"Eight days ago, I found Jones with his gun in his mouth. He said he was going to kill himself because there was no future. What could I say to him? We fight off the infected or we wait until they starve to death, and then what? What do nine men do except wait to die themselves? I moved us from the blockade, I set the radio broadcasting and I promised them women. Because women mean a future."

"This is what I've seen in the four weeks since infection: people killing people. Which is much what I saw in the four weeks before infection, and the four weeks before that, and before that, as far back as I care to remember- people killing people. Which, to my mind, puts us in a state of normality right now."

""The answer to infection". [...] Well, as I said before, it's here. Though it may not be quite what you imagined."

"Salvation is here! The answer to infection is here!"

"They're dead. And you're gonna be next."

"All you people are so scared of me. Most days, I take that as a compliment. But it ain't me you got to worry about now."

"With his elephantine glare and trapezius muscles that could support a Mack truck, Vin Diesel, who appears in two films opening today, is definitely the flavor of the movie weekend. In The Boiler Room he is a hulking illegal stock trader who would be right at home in the world of The Sopranos. And in the snazzily atmospheric sci-fi horror film Pitch Black he is Riddick, a fiendishly grinning murderer with a nose for menstrual blood. In the movie's opening scenes, in which Riddick tears off his manacles, he suggests a bone-crushing hybrid of Hannibal Lecter, Harry Houdini and Hulk Hogan stomping out of a leather fetishist's private dungeon. But in both roles Mr. Diesel finds ways to insinuate glints of humor, intelligence and even a grudging sweetness. As styles of macho, shaved-headed antihero go, he is a new variation on something familiar. Think of Telly Savalas as a hip-hop thug, and you'll get the idea."
