Quotes from the Movie 28 Days Later

It started off as rioting. But right from the beginning you knew this was different, because it was happening in small villages, market towns... and then it wasn't on TV anymore. It was on the street outside. It was coming through your windows. It was a virus, an infection. You didn't need a doctor to tell you that. It was the blood, or something in the blood. By the time they tried to evacuate the cities, it was already too late. The infection was everywhere. The army blockades were overrun, and that's when the exodus started. The day before the TV stopped broadcasting, there were reports of infection in Paris and New York. You didn't hear anything more after that.

This is what I've seen in the four weeks since infection: people killing people. Which is much what I saw in the four weeks before infection, and the four weeks before that. And before that, as far back as I care to remember. People killing people. Which, to my mind, puts us in a state of normality right now.

Major Henry West

Major Henry West

I promised them women.

Major Henry West

You killed all my boys.

Major Henry West

Women mean a future.

Major Henry West

Okay, Jim. I've got some bad news.
