5 quotes Spike Spike They're all lying, Mum.
Spike We're gonna see a doctor. [Isla: What doctor?] A real doctor. [Isla: No!] From the old days. There's something wrong with you, Mum. Doctor's gonna make you better.
Spike I love you, Mum.
Spike Dad. I'm okay. You don't need to look for me. I'll come back when I'm ready. Gonna keep walking, until I can't see the sea. We found Doctor Kelson. He's not insane. He's a kind man. The baby's from an infected, but she's not. She's okay. Please be kind to her. Her name is Isla.

8 scenes Spike I can't go back now, Dad.
Why?
Spike Everyone'll think I'm soft.
Ah, they will. Can't have that, can we? C'mon, then.
Looks like he got tied up and left for the infected. And now he's infected.
Spike He's infected?!
Aye.
Spike Why would anyone do that?!
Maybe a punishment. Maybe a warning. There are strange people on the mainland, roaming. That's why our home is so precious.
Spike Is that the lesson?
No. [regarding the infected:] Kill it.
Spike [Regarding a pillar of fire in the distance]
What is it, then?
I dunno, never been there.
Spike Does it always burn?
I just said I'd never been there, Spike.
Sam
Oh! Spike! Didn't expect to see you until past midnight.
Spike Just came to see me mum. How is she? She alright?
Sam
She's better than alright -- we were up and about! We walked over the fields. She's got a lot of life in her when she's not having a turn. But what about your day, eh? More to the point.
Spike Dad's making it up as something it's not.
Sam
Like what?
Spike Like I'm a hero.
Sam
Yes, but you are to him.
Spike It feels like he's lying.
Spike Get the **** away from us!
From us?
Spike You heard us. Just go away, Dad.
My best friend from school, he's a delivery driver? Ah, you don't know what a delivery driver is -- he, um... delivers packages. Y'know, people order stuff online? I bet you don't know what "online" is. Uh, it doesn't matter. He's a-- He's a driver. And I told him "You're wasting your life, Felix. You only get one life and you're pissing it away! And he said, "Yeah, what are you gonna do, ****nuts?" So I joined the Navy to prove a point. Now who's pissing away their life, huh?
Spike I don't understand what you're saying.
I'm saying I should've been a delivery driver. Right now, I'd be stuck in traffic somewhere, driving too fast down a narrow street or something.
Who are you?
I'm Erik. And this is your father, Spike.
What?
Spike He's just being silly, mum.
He's being a dick.
Spike What's that?
Heh! I've been... I've been waiting almost thirteen years for someone to ask that question. I often thought I would die here, alone of age or starvation or violence, never having had the chance to reply. Do you know the words "memento mori"?
Spike No.
It's Latin. Ironically, it's a dead language. It means "Remember death. Remember you must die."
