Lucas: How am I doing?
Fenway: I may have good news. The rate of your infection seems to be slowing. No one's ever been this long without turning.
Lucas: Great, call the Guiness people. edit »
(talking about Lucas)
Ramsey: Of all the people, that kid doesn't have one indecent bone in his body. It would be different if it were me, or Fenway.
Molly: It never works that way. Life is not fair.
Ramsey: Trust me, I know when life is being unfair. (points to himself) Life is way out of line on this one.
(Molly looks away)
Ramsey: I actually caught myself trying to pray last night, just in case.
Molly: Ramsey, you're an atheist.
Ramsey: I know! I mentioned that in my prayer, I thought I'd win extra points for honesty.

Molly: They're creating infectees and harvesting their blood...
Nigel: It's the main ingredient in alien fertilizer. They could be using it to contaminate more food.
Molly: So they actually kill off their own to further their agenda?
Nigel: We do it all the time. Ever heard of a little place called Iraq? edit »
Whitaker: (sarcastically) And how many people do you think you can pluck off the streets before people start noticing?
Molly: (completely serious) Approximately 300. edit »
Nigel: (on the phone) If he pushes you just push him back. I don't care what the teacher says. If you get in trouble just have the school call me... What will I do? Well, I'll march right over and push your teacher, how about that? edit »

Ramsey (Peter Dinklage) excuses himself for arriving late to a briefing in the infirmary by blaming it on a channel 5 marathon of The Twilight Zone, a classic series that has run three times over the past 47 years: originally in 1959-1964, then in 1985-1989, and in 2002-2003. edit »
