Quotes 

• Alex : Look, if you can't fix it...

  Riq : Y'know what? I'm, I'm just tryin' to get my head around this whole "end of the world" thing, right? It's not my usual environment, so...

  Alex : Well the sooner you've come to terms with it, the more chance you've got of surviving.

  Riq : I am surviving and it's *not* easy!

  Alex : What've *you* done? You've done nothing!

  Riq : I've had a van stolen! I've been chased by fuck knows! I've been in a garage while being shot at!

  Alex : "At"?

  Riq : Yeah!

  Alex : Have you shot anyone? Have you had to do that yet?

  Riq : No, no, no...

  Alex : Have you shot a friend? Your best friend? Have you done that? Have you? Have you pulled the trigger until your best friend's head explode and walked around in a dream with her blood running down your face and in your mouth, picking shards of skull from your jumper like cat's teeth? Have you? Have you done that?

  Riq : No, no... I can't say that I have.

  Alex : No? Then don't talk to *me* about surviving until you *have*!

  Alex : No.

• Riq : Where'd you get the gun from?

  Alex : Open the door!

  Riq : [opens the door and looks at the gore on it from the zombie Alex shot]  Oh, that's disgusting...

  Alex : You alone in there?

  Riq : Huh?

  Alex : Anyone else in there?

  Riq : No, no, no, no...

  Alex : Get some supplies.

  Riq : What?

  Alex : Get some fucking supplies!
