Zero Day quotes

Andre
[as police arrive]

Look out the window. That is a lotta ****in' cops. C'mon, let's go get a couple.

Cal

No.

Andre

C'mon, let's go!

Cal

I'm done.

Andre

Why- how are you done?

Cal

Andre, you're done.

Andre

I'm not- I don't- I'm not done.

Cal

It's all right, we'll just... would you rather get shot by the cops, or, by yourself?

Andre

Guess you're right.

Cal

You guess or you know?

Andre

I know. You're right.

Cal
[After loading their weapons, Andre and Cal kneel side by side.]

One, two-

Andre

Wait. I can't do it. I just can't do it.

Cal

Andre-

Andre

I can't do it.

Cal

You don't have to think about it.

Andre
[They argue for a few minutes, then agree to fire upon counting to three.]

One, two, three-
[Andre and Cal fire, one just after the other]

Cal

Andre's the violent one.

Rachel

I just heard you say Andre's violent.

Cal

I didn't say that. He's not violent, either.

Rachel

I don't know. Sometimes, the way he talks about people, and the way he interacts with everyone, is a little-

Cal

You mean, like, you?

Rachel

Not me all the time, he's just a little off beat, a little strange.

Cal

What, do you think he's a bad influence on me, Mom? I mean, he doesn't like you either, so it's okay.

Rachel

That's all right, I don't really mind that much. It's just that- I don't know. You hang out with him a lot, and I just don't want you- becoming like him.

Cal

Why? What do you think is "him"?

Rachel

He has a lot of anger.

Cal

Problems, or just anger in general?

Rachel

Well, he probably has anger because he has problems that I don't know about, you know?

Cal

He doesn't- his dad doesn't beat him, or anything like that.

Rachel

Like, I'm your friend and all, and he's your friend. So he should at least try and be semi-courteous to me, but he's really not.

Cal

He's a dick?

Rachel

Yeah, a lot of the time.

Cal

I guess I just never conflict with him. Who would you consider the leader of the Andre-Cal Army of Two? Is it me or Andre?

Rachel

Andre.

Cal

You think it's Andre?

Rachel

I-I don't know. When you're with him, you're just- you're different than you are now.

Cal

How am I now?

Rachel

Now, you're the Cal that I've known for a really long time. And when you're with him, you're, like, Andre Number Two.

Cal

Wait, why do you think that? I'm not the- he's not Cal Number Two and I'm Cal Number One. How do you know he isn't copying off, my style, yo?

Rachel
[Laughs]

Unless you have some kind of evil locked inside that I've never seen before-

Cal

Oh, I lock inside. Nobody sees it. I keep it from everyone.

Cal

You know, in medieval times, if someone insulted you, you took your sword out, and you dueled them, and you killed them.

Andre

And make no mistake, we've been insulted. Now it's time for the duel.

Andre
[During the shooting, Andre and Cal find another student hiding behind a couch]

It's Greg! Greg, sit down, man! Relax.

Greg

Please don't hurt me, sir!

Andre
[laughs]

Sir! I like that.

Cal
[chuckles]

He called you sir!

Andre

I can't kill you; you're too pathetic. [starts to walk away] You're gonna live today, man. You're gonna live!
[Cal starts to follow Andre, then suddenly turns and shoots Greg several times. Andre shrugs.]

Andre
[Just before Andre and Cal head into the school]

Dude, I want you to know, like- I couldn't have done this with anyone else. Like, I don't know what would've happened to me if-if we hadn't been friends.

Cal

I don't think that, uh, I could've done this with anyone else, either.

Andre
[After a brief pause]

Ready?

Cal

Aim.

Andre

Let's get this shit done. Let's kick the tires and light the fires.

If you think about it, anybody who's done anything like this in the past has had a website up, or they've done something stupid to attract attention to themselves- mostly that's all they wanted, was attention. We're not like that.

We're not trying to waste anyone's lives. We're trying to make people realize what they should value.

When our parents find these tapes, they're gonna think, "Oh, they were right down there in the basement. We could've known, we could've stopped them." It's not your fault, we love you. Could you blame anyone for not noticing? I mean, who's gonna want to think their brother, their son, their student, their employee, their peer- is gonna do something like this? There are no reasons and you're all gonna look for 'em but you're not gonna find 'em!

You know, I hate to be the guy to break it to you, on the eighteenth birthday of all days, but, life isn't always fair, you know?
