Quotes 

• [Liv tells Major that the two of them can no longer kiss] 

  Olivia Moore : That's it. Kissing moratorium until we're sure I just didn't turn you into a zombie.

  Major Lilywhite : So, we're going the Pretty Woman no-kissing-on-the-mouth route. I'm down!

  Olivia Moore : Oh, my god. Horny boys are the worst. When all your blood returns to the normal locations in your body, you're gonna care whether that make-out session has left you living or living dead.

• [Liv gives Major a speech about getting back up] 

  Olivia Moore : I'm going to remind you something, son. Something you already know. The world ain't all Dilly Bars and debutante balls. The world throws wicked punches. It wants to see who goes down easy. Some people stay down on the mat. Not you, though. You were an undersized walk-on free safety at U-Dub. Three years later you were a starter. It takes a tough, get-back-off-the-mat son-of-a-bitch to do that. But that ain't what impressed me. I fell in love with the guy who could've cashed in on his looks, his connections, his notoriety. But instead, he said, I've been blessed, and I want to give back. I'm going to be a social worker. 'I'm going to be the guy who gets others back up.' I know you've taken some haymakers lately. I know that this time it's harder to get back up than it's ever been. But you're Major mother-flippen Lilywhite, and you don't quit.

  Major Lilywhite : [Major says with a smile]  God, you're so weird.

• [Major tells Liv he wants to get back together with her] 

  Major Lilywhite : Liv, I don't want to do this anymore.

  Olivia Moore : Do what?

  Major Lilywhite : Pretend I'm okay just being your friend. I want more. I want us to be together again.

  Olivia Moore : Major, nothing has changed. I still...

  Major Lilywhite : I know all the risks, and the reasons it can't work. But I don't care. I'm a better man with you in my life. Can we give it another shot?

• [first lines] 

  Olivia Moore : [Liv and Major make out inside her doorway]  What are we doing?

  Major Lilywhite : Well, it's hard to put a label on it just yet. But I'll get back to you in a minute.

  Olivia Moore : We should stop. We don't know enough about how the zombie is transferred. All this kissing.

  Major Lilywhite : [Major and Liv keep kissing]  I've been kissed by Blonde Liv before. Still human.

• [Liv asks Major if he's been brushing his teeth hard in case of any open sores] 

  Olivia Moore : How hard have you been brushing your teeth.

  Major Lilywhite : [Major wanting to keep kissing Liv]  So hard.

• [Liv wakes up Major by checking his blood pressure] 

  Olivia Moore : [Major hears the blood pressure pump]  How are you feeling?

  Major Lilywhite : Great. Who doesn't enjoy waking up to a beautiful girl cutting off his circulation?

• [Major makes a joke with Liv to stop her from thinking he's a zombie] 

  Olivia Moore : Do you know what I keep asking myself?

  Major Lilywhite : Why? Why didn't the Seahawks just give the ball to Marshawn?

  Olivia Moore : How stupid we must be?

• [Liv tells Major him and her have no future as a couple] 

  Olivia Moore : Unless there's a cure, we have no future as a couple.

  Major Lilywhite : You sure about that?

  Olivia Moore : Well, think about it. You've always wanted kids. That could never happen. No sex. Clearly, not ready to write that off.

  Major Lilywhite : I seem to recall a couple items on the menu that don't involve exchanging fluids.

  Olivia Moore : I could be holding your arm, walking down an icy sidewalk. I slip, I reach out for you, I scratch you, instant zombie.

  Major Lilywhite : [Major leans to Liv]  So far, to me, it sounds like all of our problems could be solved with condoms and rock salt.

• [Gilda sees Major at the Max Rager gym and questions why he hasn't texted her] 

  Gilda : Good news is you're not dead. Bad news is you have to come up with some other excuse for not responding to my text.

  Major Lilywhite : Yeah, well, I didn't get it until this morning. But it did make my heart flutter. 'U, up?' You stole my heart in those three characters.

  Gilda : Whatever. You have to earn me spelling words out in their entirety.

• [Gilda asks Major how many zombie removals he'll have this week] 

  Gilda : So, how many zombies removals can I put you down for this week?

  Major Lilywhite : I don't know. How many people are you going to murder this week?

  Gilda : Not people. Zombies. How about we shoot for two. Go big or go home, I say.

• [Liv tells Major that they can watch the movie Hoosiers together] 

  Olivia Moore : We can watch Hoosiers.

  Major Lilywhite : After all these years? You've always refused before.

  Olivia Moore : [Liv smiles]  Well, back then, I was worried that seeing you cry over fictional sports would adversely affect my sexual desire for you. But that's not an issue anymore, friend.

• [Liv takes Major to basketball practice when he sees a group of kids on the court] 

  Major Lilywhite : Liv, what are we doing here?

  Olivia Moore : You mean, with this ragtag group of disadvantaged kids who tragically lost their coach a few days ago? Oh, did I forget to mention they'd be here?
