Quotes
-
The One-Armed Man : [after the atheist is spared] Looks like God just cut you a break.
The One-Armed Man : Yeah, for another two fucking minutes.
The Atheist : Guys, i know this girl. Don't I know you? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know you from somewhere.
Pretty Girl : Me?
The Atheist : Yeah. Are you an actress? You're so familiar.
Pretty Girl : No, I'm not an actress.
The Atheist : Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stacy something.
Pretty Girl : No, Christina.
The Atheist : Christina... Christina?
Pretty Girl : Yeah.
The Atheist : Wait a minute. Is Stacy your stage name, then?
Pretty Girl : No, I told you, I'm not an actress.
The Atheist : That's right. Guys, actress, porn star. I get it now. It's a huge difference.
Pretty Girl : What? I'm not a porn star.
The Atheist : Hey, I don't think anybody cares around... around here, you know? I mean, I just couldn't figure it out before. Now I know.
Pretty Girl : What?
The Atheist : [exhales] I'm a huge fan.
Pretty Girl : What the fuck are you doing? I don't do porn.
The Atheist : I don't think it's a problem. Everybody's gotta make a living. I don't have a problem with it.
Pretty Girl : I don't do porn.
The Atheist : All right, whatever. I'm just trying to pay her a compliment.
Pretty Girl : He's lying.
The Atheist : I gotta be honest with you, you know, I mean, I did like you better, though, before your enhancements, because now it's just like, "Wha-bam! Look at these bad boys."
Pretty Girl : He's lying.
The Atheist : Are they real?
Pretty Girl : That is none of your fucking business.
The Atheist : Are you saying they're real?
Pretty Girl : So what? Half the girls in LA have big boobs.
The Atheist : Yeah, and I'm sure it's great for business.
Pretty Girl : I don't do porn!
The Atheist : Who paid for them? Tell them, go ahead. It's okay, sweetheart. Who paid for them? Was it your employer?
Pretty Girl : No.
The Atheist : No?
Pretty Girl : I mean he did. But it's not like that.
The Atheist : He did. Now it's getting really difficult to decide.
Pretty Girl : No, David is my boss, but we're also... I am not...
The Atheist : Uh-huh. You see, Stacy over here thought if he gets those double D's, oh David's gonna love her. I mean, he's going to love her way more than his own wife and kids. I mean, who cares if they're already a family. It's never stopped you before, has it? What, are you going to run off with him? You gonna have a bunch of kids on your own? Settle down by the beach? Is that what you're gonna do, Stacy?

The Atheist : [after the one arm man says that they should all volunteer] so mass suicide, then? That's great. Let's do that.
The Rich Man : Hey, kid, you still wanna volunteer?
The One-Armed Man : No.
Shaun : Yes.
The Lawyer : You're a fucking hero, kid, you know that?
Shaun : Yeah, right.
The Lawyer : No, I'm serious. Look, if I make it out of here, I'm naming my next kid after you.
The Lawyer : [as Shaun volunteers] thanks Scott.
The Rich Man : Thank you, Scott.
The One-Armed Man : Fucking assholes. You knew his name was Shaun.
The Lawyer : Whatever. The kids a hero.
The Asian Kid : He bought us two minutes. Somebody toss him a heart.
The Soldier : All right, enough.
[Notices how everyone is looking at him]
The Soldier : What? What are you looking at me for? You think it should be me? I was in Afghanistan for the past two years risking my life to keep the rest of you safe. I just got back two days ago. I was on my way to see my family. I got a seven month old... who doesn't even know who I am. My wife... I haven't seen my wife in... I'm not fucking dying in here. I'm not. I'm going home to them.
The Cancer Survivor : Don't worry. I'm not voting for you.
The Teenage Girl : Me neither.
The African American Man : Yeah, we're gonna get out of here, man.
The Asian Kid : Yeah, sure we are.
The African American Man : Come on, man.
The Asian Kid : No, you come on, man. He knows the truth. We all do let's just accept it.
[Someone tells him to stop]
The Asian Kid : You're gonna die dude. We all are.
-
The Husband : What about volunteers?
The African American Man : What?
Pretty Girl : Volunteers?
The Husband : [the Asian kid calls him nuts] I don't know. maybe someone wants to step forward.
Guy : I'll do it.
The Cancer Survivor : Why?
The Lawyer : Now wait a minute. He doesn't have to tell you or anybody else why. He's volunteered. That's enough.
The Cancer Survivor : Well I wanna know why.
The Lawyer : Lady, it's none of your business.
Bruce : Hey, let him answer.
The Cancer Survivor : Why.
Guy : I guess I just don't wanna kill anyone.
The One-Armed Man : How old are you?
Guy : 16.
The One-Armed Man : No someone else
The Lawyer : What do you mean, someone else?
The One-Armed Man : He's a fucking kid, man.
The Lawyer : He's 16. that's old enough.
The One-Armed Man : Old enough to what, to die?
The Lawyer : To make your own decisions.
The One-Armed Man : He's a stupid kid. He doesn't know any better.
The Lawyer : I don't care. If you volunteer, you volunteer. It's his choice. If he wants to die
The Oldest Man : Yeah, yeah, that's right. If someone wants to volunteer, we should respect that, no matter who it is. Son, what's your name.
Guy : I'm Shaun.
The Oldest Man : Shaun. Are you sure you wanna volunteer?
The Pilot : No! I'll do it. It's fine.
[He steps off and gets eliminated]
The Oldest Man : Well, this Is gonna be easier if we can get a few volunteers.
The One-Armed Man : Easier for who you?
The Oldest Man : Look, we gotta take control of the... The situation, and this is the best way.
The Lawyer : I mean, hey, if we're all gonna die, it might as well be on our own terms.
The One-Armed Man : Yeah, yeah, that'll teach those fucking aliens.
The Husband : [sarcastically] Hey, we're doing what we can, man.
The Lawyer : Yeah, it's the best idea we got.
The One-Armed Man : Then you volunteer.
The Lawyer : I don't see you stepping forward.
The One-Armed Man : We should all step forward. I mean everybody but her.
[to the little girl]

The Lawyer : How old are you?
The Lesbian : What, me? 35. But I have a kid.
The Lawyer : Just one child.
The Lesbian : Yeah, a daughter.
The Lawyer : You married.
The Lesbian : Yes.
The Lawyer : What does your husband do?
The Lesbian : I don't?
The Lawyer : You don't what?
The Lesbian : Why the sudden interest in me?
The Lawyer : We're all just being honest. I just thought I'd ask you a question.
The Lesbian : Well, I'm not on trial, so how about you tell us about your life?
The Lawyer : Easy. 41. I've got two boys, an 18 month old baby daughter. Been married to the same amazing woman for 12 years. Erm.. That's it. Your turn.
[a young teenage girl gets voted]
The Lawyer : still waiting.
The Lesbian : I raised my four younger siblings during my father's heroin addiction and my mother's clinical depression, then attended Vassar under a work/study scholarship before serving in the Peace Corps for 3 years in Nepal and then returned to the US where I've worked for a non-profit ever since.
The Lawyer : Okay, but you still haven't answered my question. What does your husband do.
The Lesbian : I have a wife.
The Lawyer : Oh. So you're a lesbian.
The Lesbian : Yeah. So what? Doesn't make any difference.
The Lawyer : That's not necessarily true.
The One-Armed Man : Ok. So she's gay. Big deal. What's the matter?
The Lawyer : You think it's okay for a child to be raised with two gay mom's?
The Asian Kid : It's not fucking 1950, dude.
The Translator : Yeah, seriously, mind your own business.
The Lawyer : What, you think it's okay to raise a baby girl in that environment. Two gay mom's having sex all over the place? It's not as bad as two men, but it's still wrong. Maybe it's a good thing that you're here. You're going to give that little girl a chance to have a normal life.
The Soldier : Whoa, come on man, where are you going with this?
The Lawyer : I'm not homophobic or anything...
The Translator : Yeah, right.
The Lawyer : Do you think that this is someone worth dying for? I know a lot of you are religious. This country was based on family values. This is a woman who has sinned. Doesn't that mean something?
The One-Armed Man : We've all sinned.
The Lawyer : Yes, but some more than others. I mean, maybe that's the whole point of this thing. Maybe if we figure out who the sinner is amongst us then maybe this whole thing will end. I mean we have no idea what these aliens want. I mean, maybe that's the answer.
The Lesbian : So aliens want me to die because I'm gay?
The Lawyer : Look, nothing personal. I'm just trying to get this to stop.
The Lesbian : You think I'm the only one?
[Everyone is silent]
The Lesbian : Cowards.
[the lawyer is voted]
Bruce : My son's gay. And there's not a damn thing wrong with him.

The Soldier : You're fucking pathetic man. You'd kill a kid to save your own life?
The Rich Man : Yeah, that's right. I want to live, just like you.
The Soldier : No, not just like me. I wouldn't do that.
The Rich Man : Oh, yeah, well, we'll see what you do when it's your ass on the line.
The Soldier : No, I don't think you will.
The Rich Man : What's that supposed to mean? Huh? What, y-y- You're gonna kill me now? Why? Because I want to live, huh? I'm.. I'm a fucking bad person because I don't want to fucking die in here? You know what? Fine. You want to play games? I'l play your game. I say we get rid of both of them right now, starting with the kid! That gives us all a chance to walk out of here alive. Now, I know I'm not the only one in here that wants to do that.
The Bearded Man : He's right. There's 15 of us left. All we need is six to even the playing field.
The One-Armed Man : This isn't a game.
The Bearded Man : No, it's not. But you decided to make it a game when you show sides. Well, we chose. We just chose the side that said everyone in here is equal. No one's special. You of all people should understand that.
The Rich Man : Hey, you. Don't you love your wife
The Husband : Of course, I do.
The Rich Man : Well, well, don't you want to give her a chance to get out of here? Huh? How's that going to happen if you're on their side?
The Bearded Man : Listen to him. If you choose their side, you're just sentencing your wife to death. Our way will give her a chance to live.
The Rich Man : Right.
The Husband : Yeah, yeah, b-but...
The Rich Man : But nothing! Do you want to save her or not?
The Husband : Okay, okay, fine! We're in!
The African American Man : Me, too.
The Soldier : What?
The African American Man : Well, he... He's right.
The Soldier : What?
The Bearded Man : Okay, that's, uh, that's five. We just need three more.
The Rich Man : Everybody vote for the kid.
The Soldier : We're voting for you. Come on, people! Don't you want to live?
The African American Man : [Rich man ties with the little girl] All right, make them tie again. They'll both die. Thats fair.
The Rich Man : What?
The Bearded Man : He's right. We'll take that trade.
The Rich Man : What? W-what are you doing?
The Soldier : Don't do it! She's just a kid!
The Rich Man : Jesus Christ!
[Gets eliminated]
