The African American Man : I give a shit around here. Look, I'm just saying, I'm not fucking next, all right? Y'all done reached your minority quota. That's fair.
The Atheist : This guy. Man, you see anything fair going on in here? This is the exact fucking opposite of fair.
The African American Man : Okay. We'll see.
Bruce : [notices the African American man is looking at him] Don't look at me, man. You started this shit.
The African American Man : Come on, man. You know I'm right, bro. Think about it. They'll kill each and every one of us off until there's none of us left.
The Husband : Come on, man. There's plenty of white people that are dead too.
The African American Man : Come on, man. There's plenty more still alive too.
The Doctor : What exactly are you trying to do with this. Make yourself a target? Because that's exactly what you're doing.
The Asian Kid : Yeah, real smart. You see me uh.. counting Asians.
The African American Man : Well, maybe you should try.
The Lawyer : Don't fall for this racism bullshit. He's just trying to save his own ass.
The African American Man : You damn right, you uptight asshole. So what?

Bruce : All right, just drop it.
The Cop : Like you people don't get enough help.
The African American Man : What the fuck you just say?
The Cop : You guys are all the same. You run around, you just want people to hand you things like you fucking earned it. That's what's wrong with this country now. Socialist bullshit. What? You want some reparations too? I mean, Jesus Christ, give me a fucking break around here!

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.

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.
