Casey Schuler
- Casey Schuler: How many brain cells did I kill?
- Sam Daniels: How many? About a billion.
- Casey Schuler: Oh, now I'm only as smart as you.
- Sam Daniels: What can we give him to kill his sense of humor?
- [Sam, Salt, and Casey are examining the virus via computer]
- Major Salt: Okay, sirs, here we go. These pictures were taken over a period of eight hours. Normal, healthy kidney cells before they met the virus.
- [the computer supports Salt's following claims]
- Major Salt: In the space of an hour, a single virus has invaded, multiplied and killed the cell. And in just two hours, its offspring have invaded cells
- [points at the screen]
- Major Salt: here, and here. Continually multiplying.
- [Salt clicks another button and the virus is shown to be spreading further]
- Casey Schuler: Jesus Christ, five hours? It infects the cell, replicates, and kills this fast? These numbers can't be right Ebola takes days to do this damage.
- Major Salt: Sirs, the numbers are correct. I wish to God they weren't. One goes in, millions come out. Every cell is dead.
- [Salt begins to zoom in]
- Major Salt: Now we see them individually, searching for the next victim until there's nothing left to kill.
- Casey Schuler: Mark this day, Salt. We could spend our whole careers waiting to see a new virus.
- [Salt zooms in some more]
- Major Salt: Sirs, Mr. Motaba, up close and personal.
- Casey Schuler: I hate this bug.
- Sam Daniels: Come on, Casey. You have to love its simplicity. It's one billionth our size and it's beating us.
- Casey Schuler: So, what do you want to do, take it to dinner?
- Sam Daniels: No.
- Casey Schuler: What, then?
- Sam Daniels: Kill it.
- Casey Schuler: Don't mess with this stuff. You gotta be ready for anything. Nothing in here that can't kill you - including the air.
- Sam Daniels: This coffee sucks!
- Casey Schuler: Sam, why don't you try to get a little sleep.
- Sam Daniels: Why don't you get some sleep?
- Casey Schuler: I slept back in July.
- Sam Daniels: Yeah? Well, I got work to do. Don't tell me when I need sleep, Casey. I don't tell you when you need sleep.
- Sam Daniels: Come on. Come on. Open your eyes! Open! Open! Open! Open! Open! Open! Open! Look at me. Look at me. Casey, right here! Right here. Here I am! Here I am. Here I am. See me? There you are. There you are. How you doing? Huh?
- Casey Schuler: I had a wonderful dream, Auntie Em.
