Contagion

& Dr. Arrington: So, um, despite all our efforts, she failed to respond.
    Mitch Emhoff (by Damon!): Okay.
    Dr. Arrington: And her heart stopped... and unfortunately, she did die.
    Mitch: Right.
    Dr. Arrington: I’m sorry, Mr. Emhoff. I know this is hard to accept.
    Mitch: Okay. I mean, so can I go talk to her?
    Dr. Arrington: Mr. Emhoff, I’m sorry. Your wife is dead.
    Mitch: I mean, I just saw her. We were just at home!

& Dr. Erin Mears (by Kate Winslet!): At this point, I think we have to believe this is respiratory... Maybe fomites too.
    — What’s that, fomites?
    Dr. Mears: Uh, it refers to transmission from surfaces. The average person touches their face 2 or 3000 times a day.
    — Two- or 3000 times a day?!
    Dr. Mears: Three to five times every waking minute. In between, we’re touching doorknobs... water fountains, elevator buttons and each other. Those things become fomites.

& — Is this something we wanna release to the press?! Respiratory and fomites?! How’s the public gonna react?
    Dr. Mears: Hard to say. A plastic shark in a movie... will keep people from getting in the ocean, but a warning on cigarettes...

& Dr. Sussman: ... It shows novel characteristics and appears to be chimeric in origin. Virus is 15 to 19 kilobases in length and containing six to 10 genes. Typical of a paramyxovirus...
    Alan Krumwiede (by Jude Law): It’s Godzilla, King Kong and Frankenstein all in one!

& Alan: Where’d it come from? Military?
    Dr. Sussman: You’re not a doctor and you’re not a writer.
    Alan: Yes, I am a writer. Yes, I am!
    Dr. Sussman: Blogging is not writing. It’s graffiti with punctuation.
    Alan: I am a journalist, and there’s informed discussion on the blogosphere... that this is a biological weapon.

& — Is there any way someone could weaponize the bird flu?
    Dr. Ellis Cheever (by Laurence Fishburne!): Someone doesn’t have to weaponize the bird flu.The birds are doing that.

& Dr. Ally Hextall: Somewhere in the world, the wrong pig met up with the wrong bat.

& Alan: Now it all changes. Sussman gets anointed by the National Academy of Sciences... and every pharmaceutical executive gets a hard-on. They’ll be growing the virus in every lab on Earth. It’s a bad day to be a rhesus monkey. Crikey, first we shoot them into space, now we’ll be shooting them full of virus.

& Dave: My wife makes me take off my clothes in the garage. Then she leaves out a bucket of warm water and some soap. And then she douses everything in hand sanitizer after I leave. I mean, she’s overreacting, right?
    Dr. Mears: Not really... And stop touching your face, Dave.

? Резонный вопрос задает anashulick: "Кстати, во время просмотра возникает резонный вопрос: сколько народу нам надо на планете, чтобы поддерживать существующий технический уровень? Ну там, чтобы заводы продолжали работать, сельское хозяйство, технологии, транспорт. То есть, сколько народу на планете делает реально полезную работу, производя и обслуживая что-то жизненно необходимое?"
