Movie Quote Quiz

Selena: It started 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 the TV any more. It was in the street outside. It was coming in through your windows. It was a virus. An infection. You didn't need a doctor to tell you that. It was the blood. It was something in the blood. By the time they tried to evacuate the cities it was already too late. Army blockades were overrun. And that's when the exodus started. Before the TV and radio stopped broadcasting there were reports of infection in Paris and New York. We didn't hear anything more after that.

Jim: No, no. No, see this is a really shit idea. You know why? Because it's really obviously a shit idea.

Private Jones: Mitch, I fucking got one!
Corporal Mitchell: What, you want a fucking sweetie? Keep shooting, you cunt!

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

Sergeant Farrell: Well, I think Bill's got a point. If you look at the whole life of the planet, we... You know, man, 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.

Hannah: Are you trying to kill me?
Selena: No, sweetheart. I'm making you not care. Okay?

Jim: And then I wake up today in 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. Ok, Jim. I've got some bad news.

Jim: That was longer than a heartbeat.

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

Visible crew/equipment: Watch the scene where Frank gets killed. In the last shot of this scene, we see a soldier standing over the dead body. Keep an eye on the right side of the screen as the camera slowly moves away and you should see one of the cameras and a cameraman on the ground next to a large metal object.

Trivia: Mark was likely not infected. The wound on his arm was clean-cut and probably from either glass or a weapon wound. A bite mark would look very different. It is likely that he asked Selena to wait because he was scared and knew what she was like.

Question: At the end we are left with the question of the pilot's intentions, and what happened. Is he going to help them, or pull an about-face and machine-gun them down thinking they're infected?

Answer: That question is actually answered. The pilot is speaking Finnish, and he says into the radio "lähetätkö helikopterin" which translates as "Can you please send a helicopter?" Looks like he was actually helping them after all, and there is still some civilization (or at least people with radios and helicopters).
