Quotes

 * Alicia Clark: Patrick, if you find this, I'm sorry. If you find this, I love you. I saw something today, something that horrified me. At first, I thought it was unnatural. I thought it was an aberration. But I was wrong. What I saw was prophesized. What I saw was godly. And I think it's overdue. I wish you were here, but I will see you soon. And you will hold me.

....
 * Chris Manawa: Another one burned last night. Better than TV. People outside the fence, they took the last of them four days ago. People just like us run like cattle, piled into trucks, one suitcase apiece. Headed east. At least that's the rumor. Bakersfield, Vegas, who knows? It's safe inside the fence. Outside, everything's dead, everyone's gone. This is, uh, day nine.

....
 * Madison Clark: Hey, we have to repaint the family room.
 * Alicia Clark: We did last week.
 * Madison Clark: I know, it needs a new coat. Travis found some more paint in the garage.
 * Alicia Clark: [Alicia sighs] What's the point?
 * Madison Clark: Semi-gloss. What? Excuse me?
 * Alicia Clark: I mean, no one's coming to the open house, Mom. Market's train a bit of a turn.
 * Madison Clark: I can still see the stains.

....
 * Daniel Salazar: When I was young, these men - These men were from the government. And they came to our town and they took some people away. And my father was someone of certain importance in the community so he went to speak to the captain and asked, when will they return? And the captain told my father, 'Miguel, don't worry. They always come home.' And they did. I was standing in the river fishing. Just a boy. And I found them. All of them. All at once. All around me. In the water. My father told me not to have hatred in my heart. He said that men do these things not because of evil. They do evil because of fear. And at that moment, I realized my father is a fool, for believing there was a difference. If it happens, it will happen quickly and you must be prepared.
