Jamie quotes from 28 Years Later (2025)

View Quote The more you kill, the easier it gets. Don't feel bad about it. The infection takes away their minds -- it's got no mind, it's got no soul.

View Quote There's another kill here, if we're lucky.

View Quote Before you were born, we used to forage. It got harder a year out so you'd have to travel further and one day, it took a group of us close to Kelson's, right? Five-hundred yards out, we started to smell death. Now understand we were well-used to that smell -- back then, the dead were everywhere. But this? This was totally different. The stench was like... It was like a wall. You could touch it. And we got to the brow of this hill and we looked down... I'd never seen anything like it. Corpses. Hundreds. Just, arranged in lines. Men, women, children. And in the middle was this fire. Stood by was Kelson. For some unfathomable purpose, he'd dragged all the bodies there. A few seconds later, he turned around and he looked right at us. And he waved casually like "Hey, wanna come down lads?" Yeah, we turned and ran. And in fifteen years, none of us have been back. Like I said, insane.

View Quote Spike: I can't go back now, Dad.
Jamie: Why?
Spike: Everyone'll think I'm soft.
Jamie: Ah, they will. Can't have that, can we? C'mon, then.

View Quote Jamie: Looks like he got tied up and left for the infected. And now he's infected.
Spike: He's infected?!
Jamie: Aye.
Spike: Why would anyone do that?!
Jamie: 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?
Jamie: No. [regarding the infected:] Kill it.

View Quote [Regarding a pillar of fire in the distance]
Spike: What is it, then?
Jamie: I dunno, never been there.
Spike: Does it always burn?
Jamie: I just said I'd never been there, Spike.

View Quote Spike: Get the **** away from us!
Jamie: From us?
Spike You heard us. Just go away, Dad.
