Stephen We're still pretty close to Johnstown. Those rednecks are probably enjoying this whole thing.

Peter If any of them see us, or hear us, they'll just follow us on up. It's no good.

Roger We sure as hell can outrun em. We can load up what we can and get the hell out.

Peter I'm thinkin'...Maybe we've got a good thing going here. Maybe we shouldn't be in such a hurry to leave.

Dr. Millard Rausch We are down to the line, people. DOWN TO THE LINE!

Dr. Foster You're not running a talk show here, Mr. Berman! You can forget pitching an audience the moral bullshit they want to hear!

Francine I would have made you all coffee and breakfast but I don't have my pots and pans.

Dr. Foster Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them. It gets up and kills! The people it kills get up and kill!

Francine What the hell are they?

Peter They're us, that's all, when there's no more room in hell.

Stephen What?

Peter Something my granddaddy used to tell us. You know Macumba? Voodoo. My granddad was a priest in Trinidad. He used to tell us, "When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth.

Roger Come on, Martinez.

Wooley Yeah, Martinez! Show your greasy little Puerto Rican ass so I can blow it right off!

Roger You bastards, you bastards! We got em, didn't we? We got this, man! We got this by the ass!

Francine What are they doing? Why do they come here?

Stephen Some kind of instinct. Memory, of what they used to do. This was an important place in their lives.

Wooley How the Hell come we stick these low-life bastards in these big-ass fancy hotels anyway? Shit, man! This is better than I got!

Peter Ain't it a crime.

Peter The only person who could miss with this gun is the sucker with the bread to buy it.

Peter We sure did, buddy. We whipped em. We whipped em good!

Roger We whipped em and we got it ALL!

Roger Wooley's gone apeshit, man!

Blades I see you, chocolate man!

Dr. Millard Rausch They MUST be destroyed ON SIGHT!

Dr. Millard Rausch The normal question, the first question is always, "Are these ]?" No, they are not cannibals. Cannibalism in the true sense of the word implies an intraspecies activity. These creatures cannot be considered human. They prey on humans. They do not prey on each other; that's the difference. They attack and they feed only on warm human flesh. Intelligence? Seemingly little or no reasoning ability, but basic skills remain a more... remembered behaviours of ah, normal life. There are reports of these creatures using tools. But even these actions are the most primitive; the use of tools as bludgeons and so forth. I might point out that even animals will adopt the use of tools in this manner. These creatures are nothing but pure, motorized instinct. We must not be lulled by the concept that these are our family members or our friends. They are not. They will not respond to such emotions.

Peter You look my size when you're sitting in the truck.

Roger What I wanna know is how we ended up in the same force, what with you being so tall and all.

Peter They told me it was a midget force. They needed somebody to look up to!

Blades Say goodbye, creep!

Peter I've seen half-a-dozen guys in my unit get bitten by those things. None of them lasted more than... three days.

Stephen We've got to find more fuel. Maybe closer to Cleveland.

Roger No. We've got to stay out of the big cities. If they're anything like Philly, We may never get out alive.

Peter We may never get out of anyplace alive. We almost didn't get out of here.

Roger We're gettin out of here fine. As long as there's not to many of those things around, we can handle them easy.

Peter Yeah, well it wasn't one of those things that nearly blew me away.

Roger We gotta stay in the sticks! There's bound to be more of those little private airports upstate.

Stephen There's the locks along the Allgheny. There's fuel stations there, state and private owned.

Roger No, those are probably still manned. We don't need those hassles either.

Stephen They're just out after scavengers and looters.

Peter Oh, you got papers for this limousine?

Stephen I've got GON I.D., and so does Fran.

Peter Right, and we're up here doin traffic reports? Wake up, sucker! We're thieves and we're bad guys. That's exactly what we are. We gotta find our own way.
