World War Z quotes

[Preparing to enter zombie-infested building]

Sure you wanna do this?

W.H.O. Doctor

Course I'm not. Let's go.

You're letting people in.

Every human being we save is one less zombie to fight.

If I could get into India, where would I start? Who would I speak to?

India is a black hole. Forget about patient zero.

I can't do that. It's too late for me to build a wall. I'm running out of time. I need specifics. I need answers...

[Cutting him off]

I don't have answers. All you can do is find a way to hide.

WHO researcher 3

Mr. Lane believes we can use such a disease against the undead.

WHO researcher 1
[Flabbergasted]

I would give you points for such originality, Mr. Lane, if we hadn't already tried that, first thing. One of the many things a virus or bacteria needs to thrive is a live host.

WHO researcher 2

A functioning circulatory system.

WHO researcher 1

I'm afraid it boils down to one simple fact...

WHO researcher 4

You can't make a dead person sick.

It's not for them. It's for us. I believe these things have a weakness. And that weakness is weakness. Our weakness. I have witnessed them literally bypass people. Walk right around them like a river around a rock. Why? I think, because those people were sick. I think they were terminal. And these things could sense it. I think they're spreading a pathogen, and they need a healthy host.

WHO researcher 2

But even if you're right, I mean, infecting the populace with a lethal illness is not exactly a cure.

It's not a cure. It's camouflage. It's camouflage.

[ending lines]

This isn’t the end. Not even close. We’ve lost entire cities. We still don’t know how it started. We bought ourselves some time. But it’s given us a chance. Others have found a way to push back. If you can fight, fight. Help each other. Be prepared for anything. Our war has just begun.

Mother Nature is a serial killer. No one's better. Or more creative. Like all serial killers, she can't help the urge to want to get caught. What good are all those brilliant crimes if no one takes the credit? So she leaves crumbs. Now the hard part, why you spend a decade in school, is seeing the crumbs. But the clue's there. Sometimes the thing you thought was the most brutal aspect of the virus, turns out to be the chink in its armor. And she loves disguising her weaknesses as strengths. She's a bitch.

The problem with most people is that they don't believe something can happen until it already has. It's not stupidity or weakness. It's just human nature.
