Dr. Ian Kelson quotes from 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)

Dr. Ian Kelson

I'm suddenly not entirely sure where I stand with you.

Dr. Ian Kelson

So you owe me... Only kidding. I'm NHS; free of charge!

Dr. Ian Kelson

When the infected attack, what do they see? What do they think they're attacking?

Dr. Ian Kelson

Samson! Did it work, my friend? Were you lost and now are found?

Dr. Ian Kelson

Well, you can relax; I'm not Satan.

Dr. Ian Kelson

I remember details. Events and people. But what it was actually like to live with shops and fridges and telephones and personal computers? I have no real memory of that at all. That said, I do remember there was a sense of certainty. The world had a-- an order. A way about it. There were dramas and upheavals, inevitably, but the foundations... They seemed unshakable.

Dr. Ian Kelson

Okay, let's turn this up to eleven.

Doctor. Athiest doctor. Okay... So you believe all this zombie shite was caused by science and bugs and whatnot?

Dr. Ian Kelson

Rather than...?

Er, Old Nick? Unleashing His wrath upon the World of Man?

Dr. Kelson

I see. So, I'm an athiest and you're a-- you're a Satanist.

Well, there it is! Mystery solved! [chuckles] I'm gonna be honest, I didn't know what the **** was going on just now. I'm sweating!

I'm in a bit of a bind, Ian.

Dr. Kelson

Why is that?

The others, my peeps, I told them that you were Old Nick, but you aren't, and now they're expecting to meet you.

Dr. Kelson

I see...

And you're in a bit of a bind, too.

Dr. Kelson

How so?

Because if you can't help me with my problem, I'm going to force-feed you your own intestines until you can no longer breathe.

Dr. Kelson

...Y-Yes, that is a bind.

Kelson.

Dr. Kelson

Samson...

Thank you.

Dr. Kelson

Memento mori.
