- Why?

- The pain!

- What about the pain?

- The pain of being dead.

- It hurts to be dead.

- I can feel myself rot.

- Eating brains, how does that make you feel?

- It makes the pain go away.

- Hey, look, man, fuck this. I got to talk to you. Now. Come on, I got to talk. We got to talk. No, let's talk out in the hall.

- Man, look, how can we kill those things?

- You don't.

- What the fuck do you mean, you don't?

- You can't kill those mothers, they're already dead.

- You've gotta understand they're not living creatures, they're animated.

- I mean, you can chop them up into pieces, the pieces will still come after you. All you can do is just burn them. You got to totally reduce them to ashes, so there's nothing left to come after you.

- How you gonna burn all those things?

- Man, there's 100 of those fuckers.

- Yeah, that is the question.

- We have a 10-32 from EMS. Two, repeat, two paramedic vehicles missing in the East Piedmont district. Request a 10-51, code 3. Available units near the 20000 block of East Central, please respond, over.

- Do you think they'll rescue us?

- They better, man. That's all I got to say. Oh, God, please.

- But do you think they will?
