Melanie: Pretend to be scared of me.

Sgt. Eddie Parks: [incredulously] Pretend?
Helen Justineau: [Melanie stares at a cat poster] Do you want a cat?

Melanie: [as blood still drips from her face] I already had one.
Sgt. Eddie Parks: [referring to the feral hungry kids upon discovering a devoured Kieran Gallagher] Dirty little *fuckers*.

Melanie: They just want to live. Everybody wants that.
Kieran Gallagher: [finding a feral hungry kid offering a rat to him] I've already eaten, thanks.
Dillon: [Parks cocks a pistol at him] Look, boss, I just scratched it on a rock.
Sgt. Eddie Parks: [seeing Melanie cock a pistol and check the chamber] Where did you learn that?

Melanie: I watched you.

Sgt. Eddie Parks: Of course you did.
Melanie: [to Parks] If I had a box of bad things I'd put you in it and close the lid.
Sgt. Eddie Parks: It's over. It's all over.

Melanie: It's not over. It's just not yours any more.
Dr. Caroline Caldwell: [reads aloud what she is writing] Exquisite mimicry of observed behaviours. Question mark.
Melanie: We're alive?

Dr. Caroline Caldwell: Yes. You're alive.

Melanie: Then why should it be us who die for you?
Kieran Gallagher: [surrounded by the feral hungry kids] You touch me,

Dr. Caroline Caldwell: [referring to the zombies] They gather in groups as they did in the base. We're not sure why.

Melanie: They must be lonely.

Sgt. Eddie Parks: [sarcastically] Oh... I hadn't though of that one.
Dr. Caroline Caldwell: In dissection it's very clear. The fungus is wrapped around your brain like, ivy around an oak tree.

Melanie: But I can talk. I'm like you.

Dr. Caroline Caldwell: You're not like anything that's ever existed before.
Melanie: Babies can't eat people.

Dr. Caroline Caldwell: These ones did. The mothers were probably all infected at once, in a single incident. Then the embryos they were carrying took the infection as well... through the placenta... They ate their way out.
