Quotes from the Movie 28 Days Later

That was longer than a heartbeat.

Jim

Oh, great. Valium. Not only will we be able to go to sleep ó if we get attacked in the middle of the night, we won't even care.

Jim

No, no. No, this is really a shit idea. You know why? Because this is really, obviously a shit idea.

Jim

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.

Plans are pointless. Staying alive is as good as it gets.

Selena

Let's shop!

Selena

If you want us to get changed, you have to leave the room. Okay? It's just polite.

Selena

Do you think he saw us that time?

Selena

Secondary to protection, our real job is to rebuild. Start again.

Major Henry West

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

Since it began, who have you killed? You wouldn't be alive now if you hadn't killed somebody.

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.

Mark

When you look at the whole life of the planet, we ó you know, man ó has only been around for a few blinks of an eye. So if the infection wipes us all out... that is a return to normality.

Sgt. Farrell

Think... actually think about it. What would you do with a diseased little island? They've quarantined us! "There is no infection, just people killing people"... he's insane!

Sgt. Farrell

RTB with three, ETA, ten minutes.......put the kettle on.
