[Selena guesses what Jim was just thinking]
Jim : So, know what I was thinking?
Selena : You were thinking that you'll never hear another piece of original music ever again. You'll never read another book that hasn't already been written... or see a film that hasn't already been shot.
Jim : Um, that's what you were thinking.
-
[Selena asks Jim what his plans are while the infection still exists]
Selena : Have you got any plans, Jim? Do you want us to find a cure and save the world or just fall in love and fuck? Plans are pointless. Staying alive is as good as it gets.
-
[Selena tells Jim how the infected began to spread]
Selena : It started as rioting. And right from the beginning you knew this was different, because it was happening in small villages, market towns, and then, it wasn't on the TV any more. It was in the street outside. It was coming through your windows. It was a virus, an infection. You didn't need a doctor to tell you that. It was the blood. There was something in the blood. By the time they tried to evacuate the cities, it was already too late. The infection was everywhere. The Army blockades were overrun and that's when the exodus started. The day before the TV and radio stopped broadcasting there were reports of infection in Paris and New York. We didn't hear anything more after that.

[Jim tries to stop Selena from crying after the death of Frank]
Jim : Hey, don't do that. Look, Hannah is what Frank says she is, okay? She's tough, and she's strong, and she'll cope, just like I'll cope, and just like you'll cope.
Selena : I don't want her to have to fuckin' cope. I want her to be okay. When Hannah had her dad, it was okay. It was okay for them, and it was okay for us. Now, it's all just fucked.
[Jim kisses Selena on the mouth as she kisses him back]
-
[Jim asks Selena and Mark about the government]
Jim : What about the government?
Selena : There's no government.
Jim : Of course there's a government! There's always a government. They're in, a bunker or a plane.
Mark : No, there's no government. No police. No Army. No TV. No radio. No electricity. You're the first uninfected person we've seen in six days.
-
[Selena tells Jim how much time you have to kill a person who becomes infected]
Selena : Look, if someone gets infected you've got between ten and twenty seconds to kill them. It might be your brother, or your sister, or your oldest friend. It makes no difference. And just so you know where you stand, if it happens to you, I'll do it in a heartbeat.

[Jim and the group enter an abandoned grocery store filled with food and supplies]
Selena : [the group smiles] Let's shop.
-
[Jim asks Selena how she knew Mark had become infected]
Jim : How did you know? I mean, how did you know he was infected?
Selena : The blood.
Jim : Yeah, but there was blood everywhere. It was on me. It was on you.
Selena : I didn't know he was infected, okay? Only he knew. I could see it in his eyes.
-
[Selena tells Jim what she's thinking]
Selena : I was thinking I was wrong.
Jim : About what?
Selena : All the death. All the shit. It doesn't really mean anything to Frank and Hannah because... well, she's got her dad, and he's got his daughter, so - I was wrong when I said that staying alive is as good as it gets.
Jim : See, that's what I was thinking.
Selena : Was it?
Jim : Hmm. You stole my thought.
Selena : [Selena kisses Jim on the cheek] Sorry.
Jim : That's okay. You can keep it.

Fighter Pilot : [speaking on the radio in Finnish] Will you send a helicopter?
Selena : [standing with Jim and Hannah next to their 'Hello' sign] Do you think he saw us this time?
-
[last lines]
Norwegian Pilot : [Jim, Selena, and Hannah wave to the fighter pilot in the air while standing with their 'Hello' sign, as the pilot speaks back to his command base] Naw, I didn't see anything.
Selena : Do you think he saw us this time?
[as Jim remains silent with his arms behind his head]
-
[Selena tells Jim he needs to start thinking about himself]
Jim : [about Frank and Hannah] I think they're good people.
Selena : Good people?
Jim : Yeah.
Selena : Well, that's nice, but you should be more concerned about whether they're gonna slow you down.
Jim : Right, because if they slowed you down...
Selena : I'd leave them behind.
Jim : In a heartbeat.
Selena : Yeah.
Jim : I wouldn't.
Selena : Then you're gonna wind up getting yourself killed.

[Selena and Jim eat their groceries from the supermarket]
Selena : Mmm! Oh, my God! I can, like, taste the Vitamin C.
Jim : [Jim mumbles with food in his mouth] Mmm. The raisins are so moist.
Hannah : [Hannah chuckles] What did you say?
Jim : [Jim talks with his mouth full] The raisins, huh? They're still moist!
-
[Selena tells Jim her first impression of Frank and Hannah]
Selena : They probably need us more than we need them.
-
[Selena tells Jim the infected will be coming]
Selena : More infected will be coming. They always do.
-
[Frank asks for Selena and Jim's opinion before entering the underground tunnel]
Frank : What do you think?
Selena : It's the most direct route to the other side of the river.
Jim : No - No - No, then we should take the most indirect route. The one that's in broad daylight and that's not underground.
Frank : [Frank presses on the gas of the car] Let's just get it done.

[Corporal Mitchell teases Selena after taking her machete from her]
Corporal Mitchell : [Mitchell holds the machete out from his front crotch] You wanna get your hands on a really big chopper, you just come and see me.
Selena : Fuck you!
Corporal Mitchell : How about right now?
-
[Hannah talks to the scared Private Jones as he waits for his fellow soldiers to return]
Hannah : They've been a long time. What are you gonna do, if they don't come back? Will you be the officer if Henry is dead? Is that the way it works?
Private Jones : Shut up.
Hannah : [the lightning flashes] I don't think they are coming back. I think they've been killed.
Private Jones : I said shut up!
Selena : [Selena tries to quiet Hannah] Hannah.
Hannah : They're dead... and you're gonna be next.
-
[Selena repeatedly kisses Jim who's covered in blood]
Jim : [standing over Corporal Mitchell's dead body] Listen. Listen to me. He's still all fucked. We're gonna be okay. He's still all fucked. We're gonna be okay. I've got to explain something.
Selena : Shut up!
Jim : I've seen something. It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay.

[Selena tries to save Jim's life in the hospital]
Selena : Come on, Jim. Breathe! Fuckin' breathe!
