Farmer Frank Miller: Nah, I can't drink any more of that stuff. It's too damn black for me... I meant it's too strong.

Bobby Wiggins: Hey, Dean. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind just, uh, dropping a little wisdom until the next delivery...
Dean: The world is perfect... Appreciate the details.

Chief Cliff Robertson: "This is all gonna end badly." What does that mean?

Officer Mindy Morrison: Uh, no, no, I didn't need to see that. Was it a wild animal? Or several wild animals?

Chief Cliff Robertson: So, what are you thinking?
Officer Ronnie Peterson: You... you really want to know?.. I'm thinking zombies.
Chief Cliff Robertson: What?
Officer Ronnie Peterson: You know, zombies. Ghouls. The undead.
Chief Cliff Robertson: Are you... you're trying to tell me... you're thinking zombies did this?
Officer Ronnie Peterson: Yup.

Hermit Bob: Melville. "Nameless miseries of the numberless mortals..."

Chief Cliff Robertson: So, what exactly are we looking for here? Zombies?

Chief Cliff Robertson: So, Ronnie, how the fuck do you kill a zombie?
Officer Ronnie Peterson: Well, you got to kill the head.
Chief Cliff Robertson: "Kill the head."
Officer Ronnie Peterson: Yeah. By any means necessary, kill the head. Decapitate. It's the only way to kill them.

Bobby Wiggins: And that's really the only way to stop zombies, is to kill the head, Hank. I know it's gruesome, but complete decapitation. Doesn't matter if you use a-a machete, steel wire, hedge clippers, whatever. Just as long as the spinal cord is severed, right? And the head... is cut off. And that's it. De-animated. Only way to kill the dead: kill the head.

Officer Mindy Morrison: She's alive?
Officer Ronnie Peterson: No. She's not. She's just undead.

Officer Mindy Morrison: Guys... shouldn't we be telling each other that it's all gonna be okay? That this will all go away, like a bad dream? Ronnie?
Officer Ronnie Peterson: Gee, Mindy, I'm not sure I can say that.
Officer Mindy Morrison: Cliff? Please?
Chief Cliff Robertson: It's all gonna be okay, Mindy. Maybe it'll all just go away, like a bad dream.
Officer Ronnie Peterson: I doubt it.

Officer Ronnie Peterson: Well, it doesn't matter, Mindy. They're already dead. Well, undead, to be precise. Reanimated.

Chief Cliff Robertson: You have been saying that this is all gonna end badly, from the very beginning, over and over. So, what made you so fucking sure of that? How did you know everything in advance?
Officer Ronnie Peterson: Do you really want to know?
Chief Cliff Robertson: YES! I want to know. I really want to know!
Officer Ronnie Peterson: Okay. I know because I've read the script.
