still banging on my window.

- I know.

- You know?

How do you know?

- Well, we've been getting

reports like this all day.

Something sort of

crazy is happening.

- You can say that again.

- Some kind of outbreak.

It's making people crazy.

Just stay in the car,

Kirby, all right?

Help is on the way.

Kirby?

- What?

- What happened?

- I just got rescued by

the cast of deliverance.

One of them's coming

this way, I gotta go.

- Wait, Kirby.

- You bit?

- What?

- You look clean enough.

What are you doing out here?

- Waiting for my tow truck.

- Tow truck?

Call me the captain

of the obvious,

but I don't think it's coming.

- F***ing head exploded man.

- Dirty, dirty

f***ing sh*t out there.

- So how many kills

you get today?

- Lost count.

Whatever it was,

it was a damn sight

more than miss pinky over here.

- Bullshit.

- Bullshit?

I'm not not talking about

winging some f***ers,

I'm talking about kill shots.

- Kill shots, huh?

Why don't you go see

if our girl's hungry?

- Don't mind if I do.

Hungry?

Look who's decided

to join the party.

- Park your little

butt fireside.

- What's on the menu?

- Barbecue.

It's something.

Try it out, baby.

- It's kinda flat.

- Oh, she's a pretty one,

isn't she?

That's it.

Then nothing.

- That's disgusting.

- Hey, don't knock

it till you've tried.

- You actually eat them?

- Well, hell, everything's

got its uses, even them.

- You sure you don't want none?

- Thanks, I had ears for lunch.

Intestinal lining?

- It's chicken noodle soup.

- Aren't you afraid

that you're gonna like...

- what?

Turn?

Been watching too much TV, girl.

Only way you can turn

is by getting bit.

And that's why we all got

a pact with each other.

- What kinda pact?

- Death pact.

Any one of us gets bit, falls

to the others do the job

before we become like them.

Mm, aw, that's the stuff.

- I'll take your word for it.

So where'd they come from?

Ya know, like why, why

are they like that?

- I dunno.

Just woke up one day and the

whole world went to hell.

Where you headed?

- City.

- Talk about hell.

- Why?

- Sh*t, that whole place is

crawling with creepers.

- There's gotta be

some help though.

What about the government?

- Sh*t, government.

You trust them?

- Gotta trust something?

- How the hell do you

know they're not the ones

that caused this

in the first place?

- I'd say it was

those damn liberals.

- You think everything

was liberals.

- Yeah, that's 'cause

almost everything is.

With their doctors and

their scientists trying

to play god, well,

you reap what you sow.

- Here we go.

- Be not deceived,

god is not mocked,

for whatsoever a man

reapeth he shall also sow.

Galatians 6:
7.

- Okay.

- That's all this is.

God's little way of reminding

us he's still in charge.

- Yeah, well, I don't

think god has anything

to do with this.

- No?

Probably a democrat too.

- I'm not discussing

that with you, okay.

- I knew it, goddamned

liberal here in our midst.

- All right, enough

already, ravage.

Blondie here's our guest.

- I don't know, never

did much trust a woman

who's afraid to

eat a little meat.

- He ain't coming.

- What?

- You still waiting

on that tow truck,

but uh, I think he's got

problems plenty of his own.

Drink?

- No thanks.

- More for me.

So,

you know, we should just

go ahead and get started.

- Get started?

God, I don't think so, man.

- Oh, that's no way to be.

After all, I did save your life.

- I'm outta here.

- F***ing b*tch.

- I warned you.

- Got me a feisty one here.

- Hey, game on, smokes?

- Stay back.

- You're looking at

this all wrong, Blondie.

I mean, this is not like

something that I wanna do.

But we gotta breed.

The very survival of the

human race is depending on it.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- Wow.

I've heard some lines

in my life but... wow!

- Just grab her ass.

I call seconds.

- No!

Stop!

Get off!

Drop the gun.

Nobody move.

- She shot my dick off!

- Keys.

Don't f*** with me.

- Outta bullets, huh?

- No!

- Are you still drinking water?

- I'm alone out here.

- I'm with you, don't

worry, I'm not going anywhere.

- No, you jerk, the sick people.

They were here before

and now they're not.

- Maybe they're planning

a surprise party for you.

- Listen, I'm gonna walk.

- What?

- To Vincent.

He's in the city and

I'm worried about him.

- Stay put.

- Can't live forever

on popcorn and Pepsi.

- Someone will come for you.

- If I can't drive myself,

I'm walking.

- If you walk away,

it's suicide.

It's like 50 miles to

the next rest area.

- There's not much choice.

- What if they come back?

If you walk all that

way before nightfall,

what if it's not safe?

- I'm not just gonna sit

here and wait to die, okay?

I'm alone out here, the

tow truck is not coming,

and my car's dead so,

Vincent will wait for me.

It's 'cause of me he's

still in the city.

- Look, monitor

the radio, get online,

I'm sure there's shelter.

Are you okay?

- I just killed somebody.

- Do you have a first aid kit?

- Those a**holes are sneaky.

I need a life boat.

Hey Max.

- Yeah?

- Looks like you're

coming with me.

Let's go.

Wishing I got a Prius about now.

Hello?

- Kirby, I'm really glad...

- Vincent, are you there?

Hey, hey, you're breaking up

and my phone's almost dead.

Hello?

Hello?

Damn it!

Break time.

You there, Max?

- Go ahead, Kirby.

- I'm running out of water.

- I know it's hard,

but you need to make sure

you take small

sips twice an hour.

If you can ration yourself,

you can go a lot longer.

- Did you read that in

a manual or something?

- It's just what they told us

to say in training class.

- Right, I think we're

going to have to go way

off book for this one.

- Yeah.

- Where's your

accent from anyway?

- Essex originally.

- You sound like James Bond.

- Or k.I.T.T.

From "knight rider."

I hear that one a lot.

- What's it like where you are?

- Bad.

It's worse than yesterday.

More of them seem to

be coming every hour.

- You safe?

- We have a barricade

up, it seems to be holding

for the moment.

- So now what?

- What?

- How 'bout a game,

help pass the time?

- Um, I'm not good with games.

- Come on.

- I don't know.

- How 'bout guess that movie.

- Never heard of that one.

- It's a game where I give

you a famous movie quote

and you guess the movie.

- Okay, you go first.

- Okay, here's an easy one.

"Open the pod bay doors, Hal.

"Open the pod bay doors."

A space odyssey.

- See? And you said you

weren't good at this.

- It was a lucky break.

- Your turn.

- Hold on, let me think.

- Hurry.

- Okay, I've got one.

"From hell's heart

I stab at thee."

- Easy, Star Trek ii: Wrath of Khan.

- That's correct.

I would have also

accepted Moby dick.

- That's a book.

- It's a movie, too.

So what did you do

for a living before?

- I'm a dancer.

- Disco?

- Ballet.

- Anything I might have seen?

- Did you ever go to the ballet?

- No.

- Then you just answered
