Quotes28

  • Francine Parker: They're still here.
  • Stephen: They're after us. They know we're still in here.
  • Peter: They're after the place. They don't know why; they just remember. Remember that they want to be in here.
  • Francine Parker: What the hell are they?
  • Peter: They're us, that's all. There's no more room in hell.
  • Stephen: What?
  • Peter: Something my granddaddy used to tell us. You know Macumba? Voodoo. Granddad was a priest in Trinidad. Used to tell us, "When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the Earth."
  • Peter: Ain't it a crime.
  • Stephen: What?
  • Peter: The only person who could miss with this gun is the sucker with the bread to buy it.
  • [after the four's initial skirmish with zombies at the mall]
  • News Reporter on Radio: ...Information now on those early reports I gave to you that communications with Detroit have been knocked out, along with Atlanta, Boston and certain sections of Philadelphia...
  • Roger: [pensively] Philly.
  • Stephen: Well, I know GON's out by now. That place is a madhouse back there.
  • [chuckles]
  • Stephen: People are crazy. If they'd just organize! I can't believe they let it get this bad; I can't believe they couldn't handle it. Look at us: look at what we were able to do today.
  • [scoffs]
  • Stephen: Knocked the shit out of 'em; they never even touched us... not really.
  • Peter: They touched us good, Flyboy. We're lucky to get out with our asses - you don't forget that. You underestimate those suckers, and you get eaten. They got one big advantage over us: they don't think. And that bunch out there? That's just a handful. And every day, there's gonna be more.
  • Stephen: Those things can be stopped so easily! If people would just listen, do what has to be done...
  • Peter: How about it, Flyboy? Let's say the lady gets killed. You be able to chop off her head?
  • [about to run a gauntlet of zombies]
  • Roger: Whad'ya think? Bag it or try for it?
  • Peter: You game?
  • Roger: I need lighter fluid.
  • Peter: You got it.
  • [pointing his gun at Stephen]
  • Peter: You never point a gun at anyone, mister. Scary, isn't it? Isn't it?
  • 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 any place alive. We almost didn't get out of here.
  • Roger: We're getting out of here fine. As long as there's not too 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 several fuel-pumping 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 doing 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.
  • [last lines]
  • [Peter and Francine are flying off of the mall rooftop]
  • Peter: How much fuel do we have?
  • Francine Parker: Not much.
  • Peter: All right.
  • Roger: [over the radio while driving trucks] Hey, too tall, too slow, two, come back!
  • Peter: You look my size when you're sitting in a truck.
  • Roger: What I want to know is how we got to be in the same force with you being so large and all?
  • Peter: Well, they told me it was a midget force, and they needed somebody to look up to. Hey, where's Flyboy? What's his twenty?
  • Roger: He's probably up on the roof... with Flygirl!
  • [coming across a Zombie storage room]
  • Roger: Why did these people keep them here?
  • Peter: 'Cause they still believe there's respect in dying.
  • Roger: You'll take care of me when I go, won't you, Peter?
  • Peter: Just rest, man. Save your strength.
  • Roger: I don't want to be walkin' around... like THAT!... Peter... PETER?
  • Peter: I'm here, man!
  • Roger: Don't do it until you are sure I *am* coming back! I'm gonna try... not to... I'm gonna try... not to... come back. I'm gonna try... not to...
  • [after avoiding a bunch of the zombies]
  • Roger: Well, we're in, but how the hell are we gonna get back?
  • Peter: Who the hell cares! Let's go shopping!
  • Roger: Watches! Watches!
  • Peter: Wait a minute, man. Let's just get the stuff we need. I'll get a television and a radio.
  • Roger: Ooohh, ooohh, lighter fluid! And chocolate. Chocolate!
  • [he runs down a clothing aisle]
  • Roger: Hey, how about a mink coat?
  • Roger: Hey, man, we can't carry all this shit.
  • [Peter wheels a gardening cart up with all of their supplies]
  • Roger: Oh, I see, we're just gonna wheel right by 'em, right?
  • Peter: We're gonna try, brother. We ain't doin' this for the exercise, so we might as well try to get what we can.
  • Roger: No way this is gonna happen.
  • Roger: Peter, where are you?
  • Peter: I'm right here, man.
  • Roger: Hey, we did it, didn't we? We whipped 'em, didn't we?
  • Peter: That's right, man.
  • Roger: Didn't we... Didn't we whip 'em?
  • Peter: We sure did, buddy.
  • Roger: We whipped 'em and we got it ALL!
  • Roger: It's Christmastime down there, buddy!
  • Peter: Fat city, brother! How we gonna work it?
  • Roger: If we can get into one of the department stores up top, they'll have their own escalators inside.
  • Peter: Let's go check those keys.
  • Peter: We're gonna have a hell of a time getting back.
  • Roger: We've just got to wait a little longer before we move.
  • Peter: No, there's always a chance of some of them staying up on the balcony.
  • Roger: We can handle that. We can break right through them.
  • 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 with what we've got and get the hell out of here.
  • Peter: I've been thinking... maybe we've got a good thing going here. Maybe we shouldn't be in such a hurry to leave.
  • Roger: Oh, man.
  • Peter: If we could get back up there without them catching on, we could hole up for a while, at least long enough to catch a breath, check out the radio, see what's happening.
  • Stephen: There's some kind of passageway over the top the stores. I don't know if it's just heating ducts or some kind of access. I saw it on the map.
  • Peter: Upstairs. Let's go.
  • Peter: Roger, get your head together, we got a lot of work to do.
  • Roger: Number two.
  • Peter: You all right?
  • Roger: Perfect, baby. Perfect.
  • Peter: I've seen half-a-dozen guys in my unit get bitten by those things. None of them lasted more than... three days.
  • [Roger is in the basement, vomiting]
  • Peter: You ain't just in here by yourself, boy!
  • [Roger aims his gun at Peter]
  • Peter: You was in Wooley's unit, wasn't you?
  • [Peter cocks his gun]
  • Roger: I didn't see nothing. I didn't see how he died.
  • [They lower their guns]
  • Roger: Aww, God! Oh, Jesus Christ!
  • Peter: What is it?
  • Roger: My bag! I left my goddamn bag in the other truck!
  • Peter: [stops driving the truck] All right, trooper, you better screw your head on.
  • Roger: [hyped tone] Yeah, yeah, yeah; c'mon, c'mon c'mon, let's go!
  • Peter: [grabbing him by the collar] I mean it! Now you're not just playin' with your life, you're playin' with mine! Now... are you straight?
  • Roger: [subdued tone] Yeah.
  • Roger: You better get some sleep, too.
  • Peter: I been thinkin'. There's an awful lot of stuff down there that we could use.
  • Roger: I know it.
  • Peter: It's a big place, but they're pretty spread out down there. I think we can outrun 'em.
  • Roger: Hit and run?
  • Peter: Hit and run.
  • Francine Parker: You're crazy!
  • Roger: This place could be a gold mine. We've got to at least check it out.
