- Sean Ramsey: Americans. When the day of judgment comes, where do they seek refuge? A shopping mall.
- CMC Jeter: Sir, we'll take Dr. Scott back to Nathan James so she can finish her important work. Come with us.
- CO CDR Tom Chandler: Whoever did this may have already swept through Europe. And we cannot allow them to get a foothold here in America, and we can't keep looking over our shoulder for that sub. We find them, we make it safe for Dr. Scott to finish her work. This is all the same mission now.
- CMC Jeter: Fair enough. But I can see it in your eyes, sir; your desire for vengeance. So I'm asking, as a man who is never more than 509 feet from his captain, don't let this sub become your white whale.
- Lt. Kara Foster: Sir, U.A.V. at 5,000 feet. Thirty miles north of vulture team.
- XO Mike Slattery: Nothing for miles.
- Lt. Kara Foster: In th... in those swamps, you'd think we'd get a heat signature off an alligator or something.
- XO Mike Slattery: Nah, gators are cold-blooded. In Florida heat, they'd look about as warm as the ground around 'em.
- Lt. Kara Foster: Right. Sorry, sir. We don't have too many gators where I'm from.
- XO Mike Slattery: Yeah, well, my son taught me that. He hated school, but he knew everything about animals and dinosaurs.
- Tex: [at a virus safe zone] They are a friendly group. Handing out clothes, food, blankets. It's an apocalyptic love-in. All that's missing is music and some wacky weed.
- Dr. Rachel Scott: I need to separate the myoinositol.
- Dr. Milowsky: Are you sure you have the correct stereoisomer? I suggest we try a corn base.
- Dr. Rachel Scott: Because of the phytic acid?
- Dr. Milowsky: Myo is geometrically more stable, but chelation of the phytic acid could prevent mineral absorption into the vaccine structure.
- Dr. Rachel Scott: Worth a shot. Bacon?
- Bernie 'Bacon' Cowley: Uh... I'm... I'm sorry, ma'am. I... I'm afraid you lost me.
- Dr. Rachel Scott: At what point, exactly, did I lose you?
- Bernie 'Bacon' Cowley: About two hours ago.
- Dr. Rachel Scott: Master Chief, any word?
- CMC Jeter: [shaking his head no] Three teams on an undercover mission, wandering the swamps of central Florida, led by commanding officer, alone and unafraid. Ma'am, I love the Navy, but I don't know if I'll ever get used to this. I just pray they come back safe, and we get this vendetta behind us.
- Dr. Rachel Scott: They'll make it back. They always do.
- Lt. Carlton Burk: No sign of Danny or Tex.
- CO CDR Tom Chandler: Armed guards every hundred yards. Barbed wire fences, roving sentries.
- Lt. Carlton Burk: It's like a fortress.
- CO CDR Tom Chandler: Or a prison.
