Quotes 

• James : I exist.

• Luke : I'm gone.

  James : Then go, motherfucka, go!

• Paul : There's this island, this island right off the Carolinas, called Roanoke. In 1857 it was the first English colony, 117 men, women and children are living there. And one day a boat comes from London with supplies, but lo and behold, there's nobody to supply, cuz everybody's gone. The whole entire colony completely vanished, left everything behind: food, livestock, clothing. They sent search parties, looking for everybody for days, and the only thing they find, you know what they find? One word, one word just scratched, scratched on a fence post. Croatoan.

  James : Croa-what?

  Paul : Croatoan.

  Rosemary : What does it mean?

  Paul : I don't know, nobody knows. It's just a big mystery. Maybe it's just a message from the Indians. Or maybe it's just a word, just a last word. Nobody knows for sure. But maybe it's... maybe it's a warning. A warning like an error warning your computer gives you right before it crashes.

  Luke : A warning for what?

  Paul : Does it really matter? Somebody just hit the restart button. And the lost colony was just this little warning right before, right before this big reboot.

• James : [holding shotgun on Luke]  Put the gun on the floor.

  Luke : It's a flashlight.

  James : Just put it on the floor.

  Luke : [holds gun in his other hand]  You mean this gun? Put, or drop?

  James : PUT THE FUCKING GUN ON THE GROUND!

• Luke : [about the shotgun]  Where'd you find that?

  James : It's my mom's. She keeps it under the bar.

  Luke : She owns the place?

  James : Nah, bartender.

  Luke : She around?

  James : Up the street. Went to check the light in the church.

  Luke : Light?

  James : Yeah, a guy came by saying he saw light in the church.

  Luke : A guy? How long ago?

  James : He's gone now.

• James : I'm not going nowhere, I got to wait for my mom. She just went up the street to the church. She told me to stay right here.

  Luke : We need to get out of the city, you understand?

  James : I'm not going nowhere. We're moving out when she comes back with some people.

  Luke : What people? There are no people.

  James : Don't matter, she told me she'd be back.

  Luke : Have you taken a look outside lately, James? It's like 11 o' clock in the morning, and it's fucking pitch black! I've been out there for the last three days, and every day the sun comes up later, and goes down sooner each night, less daylight, more people just gone! You understand what I'm saying? I don't think your mom is coming back!

  James : Yes she is!

  Luke : No she's not.

• Luke : So how'd you get this far without a light? You didn't have one when you came in.

  Rosemary : [to James]  How old are you?

  James : 12 1/2.

  Rosemary : Manny's 9 months today.

• Luke : You're afraid too.

  James : No I'm not.

  Luke : Yeah you are. You shoot me, there's nobody left, right?

  James : [pause]  Right.

• Rosemary : But the bus shelter, the one you were under.

  Luke : Solar powered, an experimental one-off.

  James : The city was thinking of going green for a while, I did a piece on it.

  Rosemary : Okay, so solar works.

  Luke : Yeah, too bad the sun isn't.

• Paul : [examining the generator]  Looks like somebody rerouted it up to the bar after the main grid died.

  James : Yeah, my mom.

  Rosemary : At least we've got plenty of gas.
