- Mark: So those people outside in the orange suits.
- Aiden: They're Hazmat suits.
- Mark: What?
- Aiden: As in hazardous materials.
- Sally: It's probably just a precaution, I'm Sally from next door.
- Aiden: [tries his cell phone] Shit! They must've put up a signal jammer! Well, they wouldn't want anybody contradicting the official story, would they?
- Mark: Who are they?
- Aiden: Don't you know, man? Now, who'd you think? Our government, or at least the un-elected corporations who control it. There's been chat online for months, if you knew where to look.
- Mark: So you knew about this then?
- Sally: If he did, how come he's stuck in here with the rest of us?
- Hazel: We think the first case started a month ago.
- Aiden: I knew it!
- Hazel: We hoped it was isolated, but it spread so fast.
- Sally: But what caused it?
- Hazel: I don't know, I really don't know.
- Mark: How come no one reported it?
- Hazel: We told them not to.
- Aiden: Why the secrecy?
- Hazel: Widespread panic would just make things worse.
- Aiden: Worse than this?
- Hazel: They told us to isolate infected areas, run tests and not tell anyone except...
- Aiden: Please remain calm? You can't keep a lid on this forever, when people get better, word's gonna get out and...
- Mark: How many patients have *recovered*, Hazel?
- Hazel: There's a chance that none of you are infected.
- Sally: And a chance that we are?
- Mark: So this virus, what does it do?
- Hazel: The rate of progression varies, but in most cases we've seen, it... begins in the throat, it becomes difficult to breathe and to speak. The next stage is rapid macular degeneration.
- Aiden: That means we all go blind!
- Hazel: Finally, the vital organs shut down one by one. It can be very fast, but it's never painless.
- Sergei: [about Hazel's HazMat suit] She's not wearing this to protect us from what's out there, she's wearing it to protect her from us!
- Enid: It wasn't like this in the war. Some mothers trampled their own children to try and reach shelter. They were all scared. At least it was something you could *see*.
