- Amal: What did your elders teach you about the disease?
- Dorel: That god created it as punishment for man's sins. The old world was full of greed and men created machines that got out of control and they meddled with nature, and only god could stop them.
- Amal: Men were trying to perfect their own design. They found a way to bring extinct animals back to life, like the mammoth and the sloth that you hunt. The science also brought us the disease. It wasn't long before the whole world was infected.
- Amal: [to Kaleb] Your father risked everything teaching you to read and leaving the safety of his tribe. Now I'm risking everything. Saving just a few people is not an option.
