[Selena holds her machete at Jim after he murders Corporal Mitchell]
Jim : [Jim steps towards Selena as she takes a half swing to his throat, stopping] That was longer than a heart beat.
-
[Selena hands Jim some Valium to help him sleep]
Jim : Oh, great, Valium. Not only will we be able to get to sleep, but if we're attacked in the middle of the night, we won't even care.
-
[Jim starts yelling to Frank at how bad of an idea it is to go through the underground tunnel]
Jim : Oh, no. No, see-see, this is a really shit idea. You know why? Because it's really obviously a shit idea. So, we're just gonna drive in the tunnel full of fuckin' smashed cars and broken glass. It's really fuckin' obviously a shit idea!
Frank : [Frank sees a wreckage of cars, screaming] Hold on!
-
[Selena guesses what Jim was just thinking]
Jim : So, know what I was thinking?
Selena : You were thinking that you'll never hear another piece of original music ever again. You'll never read another book that hasn't already been written... or see a film that hasn't already been shot.
Jim : Um, that's what you were thinking.

[Major Henry West tells Jim why he set the radio broadcasting]
Major Henry West : I promised them women.
Jim : What?
Major Henry West : Eight days ago I found Jones with his gun in his mouth. He said he was going to kill himself, because there was no future. What could I say to him? We fight off the infected or we wait until they starve to death, and then what? What do nine men do, except wait to die themselves? I moved us from the blockade. I set the radio broadcasting, and I promised them women... because women mean a future.

[Jim tries to stop Selena from crying after the death of Frank]
Jim : Hey, don't do that. Look, Hannah is what Frank says she is, okay? She's tough, and she's strong, and she'll cope, just like I'll cope, and just like you'll cope.
Selena : I don't want her to have to fuckin' cope. I want her to be okay. When Hannah had her dad, it was okay. It was okay for them, and it was okay for us. Now, it's all just fucked.
[Jim kisses Selena on the mouth as she kisses him back]

[Jim asks Selena and Mark about the government]
Jim : What about the government?
Selena : There's no government.
Jim : Of course there's a government! There's always a government. They're in, a bunker or a plane.
Mark : No, there's no government. No police. No Army. No TV. No radio. No electricity. You're the first uninfected person we've seen in six days.

[Jim tells Selena and Mark what he did before waking up in the hospital]
Jim : Look, I'm a bicycle carrier. I was riding a package from, uh, Farringdon to Shaftesbury Avenue, and a car cuts across me. Then, I wake up today in a hospital. I wake up and I'm - I'm hallucinating, or I'm...
Mark : What's your name?
Jim : Jim.
Mark : I'm Mark, this is Selena.
Mark : [Jim remains silent] Okay, Jim. I've got some bad news.
-
[Jim asks Selena how she knew Mark had become infected]
Jim : How did you know? I mean, how did you know he was infected?
Selena : The blood.
Jim : Yeah, but there was blood everywhere. It was on me. It was on you.
Selena : I didn't know he was infected, okay? Only he knew. I could see it in his eyes.
-
[Selena tells Jim what she's thinking]
Selena : I was thinking I was wrong.
Jim : About what?
Selena : All the death. All the shit. It doesn't really mean anything to Frank and Hannah because... well, she's got her dad, and he's got his daughter, so - I was wrong when I said that staying alive is as good as it gets.
Jim : See, that's what I was thinking.
Selena : Was it?
Jim : Hmm. You stole my thought.
Selena : [Selena kisses Jim on the cheek] Sorry.
Jim : That's okay. You can keep it.
-
[Selena tells Jim he needs to start thinking about himself]
Jim : [about Frank and Hannah] I think they're good people.
Selena : Good people?
Jim : Yeah.
Selena : Well, that's nice, but you should be more concerned about whether they're gonna slow you down.
Jim : Right, because if they slowed you down...
Selena : I'd leave them behind.
Jim : In a heartbeat.
Selena : Yeah.
Jim : I wouldn't.
Selena : Then you're gonna wind up getting yourself killed.
-
[Selena and Jim eat their groceries from the supermarket]
Selena : Mmm! Oh, my God! I can, like, taste the Vitamin C.
Jim : [Jim mumbles with food in his mouth] Mmm. The raisins are so moist.
Hannah : [Hannah chuckles] What did you say?
Jim : [Jim talks with his mouth full] The raisins, huh? They're still moist!
-
[Jim repeatedly calls out in the deserted London streets]
Jim : Hello?
-
[Jim falls in the woods as Corporal Mitchell holds his loaded gun on him]
Jim : Please...
Corporal Mitchell : Believe me, I'm not interested.
-
[Major Henry West introduces Jim to the infected Mailer]
Major Henry West : And lastly, meet Mailer.
Major Henry West : [Mailer dashes at Jim from behind the hanging sheets] Mailer, Jim. Jim, Mailer. Got infected two days ago. Mitchell managed to knock him out cold, and we got a chain around his neck.
Jim : You're keeping him alive?
Major Henry West : The idea was to learn something about infection. Have him teach me.
Jim : And is he?
Major Henry West : In a way. He's telling me he'll never bake bread, farm crops, raise livestock. He's telling me he's futureless. And eventually he'll tell me how long the infected take to starve to death.

[Selena sews the last of the curtains and red dresses together for their 'Hello' sign]
Jim : [Jim sees the red dress] You looked all right in this, you know?

Jim : Wait.

[Frank asks for Selena and Jim's opinion before entering the underground tunnel]
Frank : What do you think?
Selena : It's the most direct route to the other side of the river.
Jim : No - No - No, then we should take the most indirect route. The one that's in broad daylight and that's not underground.
Frank : [Frank presses on the gas of the car] Let's just get it done.
-
[Selena repeatedly kisses Jim who's covered in blood]
Jim : [standing over Corporal Mitchell's dead body] Listen. Listen to me. He's still all fucked. We're gonna be okay. He's still all fucked. We're gonna be okay. I've got to explain something.
Selena : Shut up!
Jim : I've seen something. It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay.
