Dialogue

College Guy: I'm just trying to help!

Old Woman: Fuck you.

[The College Guy is killed.]

Cop: Hey! Hey!

Tattooed Man: Who, me?

Cop: Yeah, don't I know you?

Lawyer: [stares at tattooed man; grins] Huh. I wonder why?

Cop: No, seriously. He asked if we knew anyone in here. [points to tattooed man] I know him.

Tattooed Man: I don't know you, man.

Cop: You're a mechanic in North Hollywood. Raul. Raul Jimenez. I remember you.

Cancer Survivor: What did he do?

Tattooed Man: I didn't do shit. He's lying, man.

Cop: He beat the shit out of his girlfriend. Really bad. At least I think it was his girlfriend. Hopefully, not anymore.

Tattooed Man: Come on, man. You serious?

Cancer Survivor: [to cop] Are you sure it was him?

Cop: Yeah. I remember him 'cause of that tattoo under his right eye. That teardrop. See it?

Tattooed Man: Fuck you, man.

Cancer Survivor: [to tattooed man] What's it for?

Tattooed Man: It's for my cousin. He got shot. [looks at cop] By a pig like you.

Cop: Yeah, and it's my fault you guys are criminals.

Tattooed Man: He was sixteen.

Cop: One less criminal on the street.

Tattooed Man: Fuck you, man.

Eric: It's a game. It's a process of elimination. The last man standing gets to walk out of here alive.

Lesbian: Or woman.

[The group attempt to eliminate the Little Girl, but she ends up being spared.]

Translator: What is wrong with you people?

Cancer Survivor: She's just a kid! Why would you go after her?

Asian Kid: Well, one of them has to die. We need to decide.

Translator: No, we don't.

Solider: Listen, we should just leave them out of this for as long as possible. Let's just forget about it.

Eric: No, we can't do that! Not anymore.

Solider: Why not?

Eric: It's too dangerous for them! They've been exposed.

Cancer Survivor: Oh, come on! Nobody is going to vote for them again, right?

Lesbian: She's never heard of birth control, so she gets to live?

[The Pilot has just volunteered to die.]

Rich Man: Well, this is gonna be a whole lot easier if we can get a few volunteers.

One-Armed Man: Easier for who? You?

Rich Man: Look, we gotta take control of this situation and this is the best way.

Lawyer: I mean, hey, if we're all gonna die, it might as well be on our own terms.

One-Armed Man: Yeah, yeah, that'll teach those fuckin' aliens.

Husband: Hey, we're doing what we can, man.

Lawyer: Yeah, it's the best idea we got.

One-Armed Man: Then you volunteer.

Lawyer: I don't see you stepping forward.

One-Armed Man: We should all step forward. [points to the Pregnant Lady] I mean, everybody but her.

Atheist: [sarcastically] So mass suicide, then? That's great. Let's do that.
