Quotes 

• [Eastman talks to Morgan who's locked in his cage] 

  Eastman : What's your name.

  Morgan Jones : Kill me.

  Eastman : Well, that's a stupid name. You should change it.

• [the narration between both Eastman and Morgan while training] 

  Eastman : [the two train outside in the daylight]  It's about redirecting.

  Morgan Jones : Evading.

  Eastman : And actually caring about the welfare of your opponent.

  Morgan Jones : So you have to care about yourself.

  Eastman : You don't have to believe your life is precious, but that all life is precious.

  Morgan Jones : You have to redirect those thoughts, the history that tells you otherwise.

  Eastman : What we've done, we've done.

  Morgan Jones : We evade it by moving forward with a code to never do it again.

  Eastman : To make up for it.

  Morgan Jones : To still accept what we were.

  Eastman : To accept everyone.

  Morgan Jones : To protect everyone.

  Eastman : And in doing that, protect yourself.

  Morgan Jones : To create peace.

• [Eastman talks to Morgan about the door to survival] 

  Eastman : I saw a wedding ring. You had someone you loved, didn't you? Children? Oh. You loved them. You loved them a lot if you're like this. You saw it happen. That's how this started, right? It's all happening right in front of your eyes over and over. Your body's here, but your mind is still there. There's a door and you want to go through it to get away from it, so you do and it leads you right back to that moment. And you see that door again and you know it won't work, but, hell, maybe it'll work. So you step through that door and you're right back in that horrible moment every time. You still feel it every time. So you just want to stop opening that door. So you just sit in it. But I assure you, one of those doors leads out, my friend.

  Morgan Jones : I don't have any friends.

  Eastman : Get to know me.

  Morgan Jones : Oh, I'm gonna kill you.

  Eastman : Why?

  Morgan Jones : Because I have to clear.

  Eastman : See, that's the thing. You don't.

• [first lines] 

  Morgan Jones : [in the present, Morgan talks to the Wolves leader]  You said you liked talking. I remember that.

  Morgan Jones : [Morgan quotes the Wolves leader]  Little chats with a stranger by the fire. You said it was like the movies. Then you said that you want everything that I have. Every last bit. Well, here it is. Every last bit.

• [Eastman tells Morgan how he got his lucky rabbit's foot] 

  Eastman : One night, my five-year-old daughter found me crying in the garage after about eight beers. I told her I wasn't feeling too good. She gave me this. She had won it at a carnival in school that day. She said it'd make me feel lucky and I'd feel better. The next morning I found a flyer to Aikido. Damn thing worked.

  Morgan Jones : Your wife and your daughter... they're dead.

  Eastman : It was Aikido. It'll help. And you obviously need help if we're gonna make this trip. Can't just be me and you to the end. You're a shit conversationalist, and I can't make this trip by myself.

  Morgan Jones : A trip where?

  Eastman : I have no idea.

• [Eastman tells Morgan the reason for having a cage] 

  Eastman : I built that cell with the full intention of bringing Crighton Dallas Wilton here, putting him behind those bars and watching him starve to death.

  Morgan Jones : And did you?

  Eastman : I have come to believe that all life is precious.

  Morgan Jones : Even for a man like that? Who did that to you? To your family.

  Eastman : I've come to believe that all life is precious. That's why we're having oatmeal burgers.

• Morgan Jones : 16 hours and 19 on the floor. You know what it is.

• [Eastman tells Morgan who he was and who he is now] 

  Eastman : I just wanted to wait a little while before we talked. I'm from Atlanta. I'm a forensic psychiatrist. The state employed me to determine if certain people who did very bad things would do them again if they were released from prison. That was my job. Now I live here. Because of the state of the state of the whole world. What did you do or what do you do now?

  Morgan Jones : I clear.

  Eastman : What the hell does that mean?

  Morgan Jones : Walkers, people, anything that gets anywhere near me, I kill them. I clear.

  Eastman : Why?

  Morgan Jones : Because that's why I'm still here.

  Eastman : Well... that's the biggest load of horseshit I ever heard.

• [last lines] 

  Morgan Jones : [in the present, Morgan finishes his story about Eastman to the Wolves Leader]  And that's it. Every last bit.

  Wolves Leader : You think it can work out that way with me?

  Morgan Jones : Yes, I think it can.

  Wolves Leader : Maybe. You noticed I'm shaking a little? Sweating a little.

  Wolves Leader : [lifts up his shirt revealing a wound on his waist]  I saw how settled this place was in the pictures I found. I thought maybe there'd be something here. Medicine to help this. But that was before you people won. So I know I'm probably going to die. But if I don't... I am going to have to kill you, Morgan. I'm going to have to kill every person here. Every one of them. The children, too. Just like your friend Eastman's children. Those are the rules. That's my code. I'd say I'm sorry, but you said it right. Don't ever be sorry.

• [Eastman introduces himself to Morgan in the cage] 

  Morgan Jones : [Morgan continues to scream at Eastman]  Kill me... Kill me! Kill me! Kill me! - Kill me!

  Morgan Jones : [Eastman drops 'The Art of Peace' book in front of Morgan as Morgan faintly says]  Kill me.

  Eastman : My name's Eastman.
