I've seen half-a-dozen guys in my unit get bitten by those things. None of them lasted more than... three days.
They're after us. They know we're still in here.
Peter They're after the place. They don't know why, they just remember. Remember that they want to be in here.
What the hell are they?
Peter They're us, that's all, when there's no more room in hell.
What?
Peter Something my granddad used to tell us. You know Macumba? Voodoo. My granddad was a priest in Trinidad. He used to tell us, "When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth."
You'll take care of me when I go, won't you, Peter?
Peter Rest, man. Save your strength.
I don't want to be walkin' around... like THAT!... Peter... PETER?
Peter I'm here, man!
Don't do it until you are sure I am coming back! I'm gonna try... not to... I'm gonna try... not to... come back. I'm gonna try... not to...
Peter Ain't it a crime.
What?
Peter The only person who could miss with this gun is the sucker with the bread to buy it.
We've just got to wait a little longer before we move.
Peter No, there's always a chance of some of them stayin' up on the balcony.
We can handle that; we can break through.
Peter If any of them see us, or hear us, they'll just follow us on up. It's no good.
We sure as hell can outrun 'em. We can load up what we can and get the hell out.
Peter I'm thinkin' maybe we've got a good thing going here. Maybe we shouldn't be in such a hurry to leave.
Oh, man...
Peter If we could get back up there without them catchin' on, we could hole up for a while, at least long enough to catch a breath, check out the radio, see what's happening.
No. We've got to stay out of the big cities. If they're anything like Philly, We may never get out alive.
Peter We may never get out of anyplace alive. We almost didn't get out of here.
We're gettin' out of here fine. As long as there's not to many of those things around, we can handle them easy.
Peter Yeah, well it wasn't one of those things that nearly blew me away.
We gotta stay in the sticks! There's bound to be more of those little private airports upstate.
There's the locks along the Allgheny. There's fuel stations there, state and private owned.
No, those are probably still manned. We don't need those hassles either.
They're just out after scavengers and looters.
Peter Oh, you got papers for this limousine?
I've got GON I.D., and so does Fran.
Peter Right, and we're up here doin' traffic reports? Wake up, sucker! We're thieves and we're bad guys. That's exactly what we are. We gotta find our own way.
Aww God! Oh, Jesus Christ!
Peter What is it?
My bag! I left my goddamn bag in the other truck!
Peter All right trooper, you better screw your head on.
Peter I mean it! Now you're not just playin' with your life, you're playin' with mine! Now... are you straight?
Peter, where are you?
Peter I'm right here, man.
Hey, we did it, didn't we? We whipped 'em, didn't we?
Peter That's right, man.
Didn't we... Didn't we whip 'em?
Peter We sure did, buddy. We whipped 'em. We whipped 'em good!
Why did they keep them here?
Peter 'Cause they still believe there's respect in dying.
Peter You game?
I need lighter fluid.
Peter You got it.
Well, we're in, but how the hell are we gonna get back?
Peter Who the hell cares! Let's go shopping!
Roger [looking in a display case]: Watches! Watches!
Peter Wait a minute man, let's just get the stuff we need! I'll get a television and a radio.
Ooohh, ooohh, lighter fluid! And chocolate! Chocolate!
Peter Why not?
Peter You look my size when you're sitting in the truck.
What I wanna know is how we ended up in the same force, what with you being so tall and all.
Peter They told me it was a midget force. They needed somebody to look up to!
