As you've PROBABLY already guessed, I've become...a bit obsessed with Left 4 Dead 2. In the interest of discovering what the hell happens in campaign mode, I've begun compiling the graffiti & sign text found in-game.
At some point I might also add:
-Story-specific survivor dialog Working on it! ;)
Although I'm doing this mostly for my own (nerdy, fannish) reasons, I hope it can be a useful resource for other fans. Also, if you'd like to add information - text I've missed, screencaps of signs, information about real-life locations that might have influenced in-game locations, etc., are all welcome, and full credit will be given to any contributions you'd like to make.
And now: GRAFFITI! I've kept all the formatting (line breaks, capitalization, spelling errors) intact, and for Swamp Fever - which has some graffiti inFrench Creole - I've put an English translation. (I make no promises that it is accurate, however. XD ) Anything in [brackets] are my own notes.

Ellis: Hey, come back man, there's still people here!
Nick: Hey, come back, I'm here! There's still someone down here!
Where the hell's the copter going? We're right here!
Rochelle: There's still people here! Come back, please! Come back!
Ellis: Alright, everybody calm down. That chopper looks like it's heading to the evac station at the mall.
Hey, I bet it's headed to the mall. There's an evacuation center there, everybody grab some weapons. I'll lead the way.
Looked to me like it was headed to the mall across town...and I'll call it what I want, Fancy Suit.
Nick: It's flying away from the burning building we're standing on. Let's follow its lead and get the hell outta here.
You could have yelled if you wanted.
Not to burst your bubble, Sport, but this building is burning down. They're not coming back.
Okay, helicopters don't come back when you yell at them. Now we know that.
Rochelle: Okay, guys, now's not the time for a pissing contest. The building's on fire! Let's get off this roof while we still can.
Oh, shit, they did not just leave us on this roof!
I can't believe I'm stranded in Savannah.
Ellis: It may have escaped y'all's notice, but this building's on fire.
Nick: Good. That's decided. Moving on, I think this building is on fire, so, I'd like to leave it.
Okay! We all had a turn yelling at the helicopter. Good! Moving on, I think the building's on fire.
Ellis: You best grab a weapon, I reckon you'll need 'em.
Nick: We better arm ourselves. I hope you three know how to fight. You don't look it.
If the world's going to hell, I'm taking a weapon.
Rochelle: I've been hearing about...things. [Hesitates] You know what, never mind. But...grab a weapon, trust me.
I think those things are down there. Grab a weapon.
We should take some weapons. I work in the news, and the news says we should definitely take some weapons.
Nick: I trust ya. You look like a man who knows his doughnuts.
[Seeing infected for the first time]
Ellis: Holy shit, zombies are real. [whispered] I knew it.
Zombies are real! I knew them movies were true!
Dude, those zombies are real. I knew them books were non-fiction!
That what I think it is?
Those what I think they are?
Those don't look like Savannah-ites I ever seen.
Holy shit, kill it!
Whoa, whoa! Is that a zombie, like a, like a zombie zombie?
Nick: Holy shit, it's zombies!
Well, this is unexpected.
These don't look like people.
Jesus Christ, what are these things?
I don't know about you but I'm killing these things.
So that's a Boomer, huh? You know, it's sad to see an eating disorder get out of control like that.
Rochelle: These...don't look like people.
Zombies! Holy shit. They're real.
You hear about them, but...until you see them...
What the hell is this thing?
Okay, now I'm - killing zombies!
[Map room]
Ellis: [whistles] Check out all them Xs, man. Looks like New Orleans is the last city standing.
Alright, if this map's right, New Orleans's the last city standing.
I dunno about you folks, but looking at that map, I wouldn't mind heading to, I dunno, New Orleans?
Man, I hope you guys like New Orleans, 'cause that's where we're headed if we wanna live.
Nick: If that map's right, New Orleans might be the last place in America that can get us out alive.
According to this map the only place left standing is New Orleans.
Jesus, the whole country's falling.
This map is not good news.
According to this map, there aren't a whole lotta options.
Rochelle: I heard Atlanta already fell.
I work for a news station. We heard about the East Coast, but...Jesus. I didn't know it was this bad.
Hey, look at this map. We need to get to New Orleans fast.
New Orleans is all that's left.
Of course we're really fragmented. CEDA never told anyone it was this bad.
I think CEDA should've been telling us to do more than wash our hands.
[Elevator]
Nick: Technically you're not supposed to use an elevator in a fire. But that might not apply during a zombie apocalypse.
Ellis: You don't say! Wrestling 'n such?
Yeah? How do you like our city so far?
Yeah. Well, it's normally a lot nicer when we don't have the zombies. I'm Ellis, by the way.
Holy shit. This some sorta nightmare? Goddamn zombie apocalypse and shit. Shit, shit, shit. The hell we gonna do?
Well, my name's Ellis, but some people call me El. But I really prefer Ellis 'cause El kinda sounds like a girl's name...but...if you prefer to call me El I guess you can.
Ellis! How 'bout you, big man?
Hey, we gotta watch each other's backs! My name's Ellis, you?
Ellis. Pleased to meet you, Coach [or] Rochelle [or] Nice to meet you, Nick.
Folks call me Ellis. I run an auto shop with a couple of my buddies, we're also in a band. I play bass.
Folks call me Ellis. I run an auto shop around here. Instead of evacuating I armored up a truck to drive myself outta here. Built that thing to be zombie proof. Well, it turns out it was only 99% zombie proof. Last 1% tore that truck to shit.
Huh. If everyone's evacuating, who's watching the news?
Folks call me Ellis, and I learned how to shoot a gun before I learned how to walk. [sometimes ends with] ...White Suit'n Nick.
Figures. Bosses are shitheads. My name's Ellis.
That's right. My name's Ellis and I've lived here all my life. And there's a tons of places here that aren't pieces of shit.
Nick: Alright, we're all friends now. Get ready.
Name's Nick, but don't worry about learning it 'cause I ain't sticking around long.
Nick. That's all you need to know.
Hey. What's your name?
You did good out there, Rochelle.
Nick. Name's Nick. Y'all did good. What are your names?
Anyone get bit? Isn't that how this works?
Well, I'm glad we got that out of the way - now, did anyone get bit?
There's blood on me, but it ain't mine.
Nick. Not that it matters 'cause I think we should split up when this thing opens.
I normally go solo, but under the circumstances I'm thinking we stick together. Call me Nick. You got names?
2. Streets
[Gun store]
Rochelle: A gun store? [Pause] For the first time in my life, that sounds...good.
A whole store full of guns. You're talking my language, Coach [or] Ellis.
So long as there's zombies trying to kill me, he is.
Well, no, not usually, but for now, yes.
[Clears throat] Not normally, it's...it's complicated.
Okay, no. Normally I hate guns. But I think I hate zombies more.
[Whitaker & the cola delivery]
Rochelle: Alright, sir. We'll go get you your snacks. But you better not try to weasel out of this.
Sir, if you let me keep this gun, I'll go get you anything you need.
S-shit, I think I accidentally grabbed diet cola. We should go - hey thanks Whitaker!

[Safehouse]
Coach: You know what? No more helicopters. I'm just saying that now. I'm good.
Next time someone wants to shoot our pilot, can I get a little warning?
That was the first time I was in a helicopter. I always imagined it with less zombies.
Shit, that pilot just changed. One minute he was flying us to safety, the next he was...well. I was pretty damn sure he was trying to eat us.
Where in the hell are we?
Anyone check where we were before we went down?
Ellis: Oh man that was some crazy shit! Nick, you were a man of action! [pause] Where the hell are we?
Guess our crash was so soft 'cause we landed in the swamp.
Nick: I can't believe none of you were going to shoot him.
Conversations
Ellis: Nick, what the hell, you shot the pilot!
Nick: Well he wasn't doing a very good job once he became a zombie, now was he?
Rochelle: That's true. If I had to pick a low point in the flight, it was probably when he stopped flying the chopper and attacked us. Anyone...know where we are?
[Alternate]
Ellis: True, true, he was a zombie, but he was also our only pilot!
Nick: I shot a zombie. He was a zombie, Ellis, he must have gotten bitten before he picked us up.
[Alternate]
Rochelle: He was flying the helicopter!
Coach: Man, that was some shit. The pilot becoming a zombie right before our eyes? Nice shooting, Nick.
Nick: No problem, big guy. Sorry about the landing.
[Gas station]
Coach: C'mon now, if I was having a cook-out, I ain't inviting CEDA either.
Man, when you forced to turn to people living in a swamp to help you get out of the city, I don't think CEDA's doing their job right.
Ellis: Well that ain't very friendly.
Nick: Great. We crash-land in front of a village that hates everyone.
This looks like a friendly place.
They probably should've added "No zombies" to that sign.
Rochelle: Well, we aren't CEDA, or the military. So I guess we're welcome.
When they say "Stay out" I'm sure they mean someone else.
Do you think they put the sign up before or after the infection?
Hope the swamp people don't mind us visiting.
Huh. Friendly bunch.
Let's visit. They seem nice.
[Gator Village]
Coach: Do not feed the gators.
Ellis: All this litter is shameful.
Oh ho, now that's smart. See, zombies can't operate a ferry.
Swimming with gators? Why no thank you.
Rochelle: 'Earl's Gator Village?' This just keeps getting better.
Ah, looks like they're all headed to the village...deeper in the swamp.
Well, if anyone could survive this...it would be people who live like this.
They actually have to put a sign up to stop people from swimming in the gator park? Alright...
"No swimming in the gator park." Fair enough.
Conversations
Rochelle: Yeah, let's just cut through the gator park and visit the crazy militants in the swamp! Sound good?
Coach: I seen that movie. It don't end well.
[Alternate]
Naw, that don't sound good at all.
[Ferry]
Coach: Hey, maybe we oughta stop this boat right here and live the rest of our years between the shores.
Ellis: Man, I wish we were back at that amusement park.
Conversations
Rochelle: Ellis, does your tattoo mean anything?
Ellis: Oh this here? That says I'm a badass zombie killing machine.
Rochelle: You had real foresight to get that tattooed.
Rochelle: So. Um. Do you guys know anything about the swamps?
Ellis: Oh yeah, I know plenty about the swamps. Fulla bugs, gators, snakes, and zombies now.
Ellis: Listen up, everybody. Be on the lookout for blood farmers. I'm serious.
Rochelle: What? Blood farmers? Boy, what in the hell are you talking about?
Ellis: Duh, farmers that don't grow crops. They grow people. To eat.
Rochelle: ...Sorry I even asked.
Ellis: Yeah, well, you'll be real sorry if we run into 'em.
Ellis: Hey Nick, I used to have a suit just like yours.
Nick: What, you? Really?
Ellis: Yep, when I had first Holy Communion in second grade. [sometimes adds] I don't think it fits anymore, though.
Coach: Heh, alright. Look at you, young'n, giving Nick some shit [sometimes adds] right back.
Ellis: Nick, remember when we ran on that roller coaster?
Nick: Yes. [sometimes adds] I remember, Ellis.
Ellis: Oh come on now, that was fun.
[Alternate]
Coach: Nick, don't pay no attention to that boy.
Rochelle: Hey Nick, what do you think the odds are that the swamp people are still alive?
Nick: What, alive infected, or alive and not zombies?
Rochelle: Not zombies.
Nick: A hundred to one.
Rochelle: Sounds about right.
Nick: Shit! This swamp is going to ruin my white suit.
Rochelle: Huh. The white suit with zombie brains on it?
Nick: Brains come out. Swamp water doesn't. Don't ask me how I know that.
[Alternate]
Ellis: You know what you could do? You could try to cover yourself in mud. We're definitely not short on that.
Ooh. You could try covering yourself in mud.
Rochelle: So what do you think is going to kill us? Zombies, gators, snakes, bugs...or swamp people?
Ellis: The way we're shooting? Each other.
[Alternate]
Nick: You forgot one thing. From the way we shoot? Each other.
Rochelle: ...yeah, I forgot about that.
[Plank Country]
Ellis: Alright, Coach. Got anything inspirational to say as we enter the swamps?
Coach: Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.
Ellis: Alright, alright, kinda hoping you wouldn't get all biblical on me. [or] ...weren't gonna get all fire and brimstone on me.
Yeah, I'm walking through that valley and I'm kicking some ass!
[Alternate]
Nick: Wow, Coach. That was uplifting. [sometimes adds] Everybody else motivated now?
Coach: Nick, we goin through a swamp filled with zombies. Y'all want me to lie to you?
[Unsorted]
Coach: I normally stay the hell away from swamps on principle. You remember that movie with that golfer that got his hand ate by a gator? That shit's real.
Hell. Sometimes it's best not to find out what you don't know.
Ellis: Hey, y'all ask me these swamp people got it all figured out, man. No cops, no rules...
I'm just gonna say it. I don't like the swamp, or swamp people.
Rochelle: Does anyone have any bug spray?
Conversations
Ellis: Hey guys, be honest. Are my muscles getting bigger?
Rochelle: ...I don't know, maybe?
Ellis: I knew it. All this running around and climbing up on stuff's making me buff as hell.
Rochelle: No indoor plumbing?
Ellis: They figured out how to stop going to the bathroom? Man, that is amazing! ...Oh. No, wait. Oh I just got that. Shit, that's gross as hell.
Rochelle: Hey Ellis, that's a bathtub. You ever seen one before?
Ellis: -

5. The Bridge
[Saferoom dialog]
Ellis: One time, the Army bombed my buddy Keith - he went camping and didn't bother to read the signs, and I guess they were just testing bombs that day, all sorts of stuff too, not just regular bombs, like biological nerve gas bombs, shrapnel bombs, these bombs that break up in the air into like, a hundred smaller bombs -
Nick: Before we run across this bridge right toward the people who've been dropping bombs on us, anyone want to talk about a Plan B?
Coach: Well, you're free to make yourself a new life right here in this room, Nick.
No.
Ellis: I don't.
Nick: [laugh] Alright, let's go.
[laugh] Ok, alright, let's go.
Coach: Alright, alright, alright. We gonna stroll across that bridge, and the Army's gonna take care of us.
Nick: Or, they're going to line us up against a wall and shoot us.
[Contacting military]
Coach: Those sound like soldiers. Somebody talk to 'em.
Somebody pick up the radio.
Ellis: Yo, somebody ought to pick up that radio.
Grab that radio.
Nick: Hey, those are soldiers. Let's let 'em know we're here.
Is somebody going to pick up the radio?
Rochelle: Somebody want to grab that radio?
Coach: Hello?
Ellis: Hello there!
Nick: Uh, hello?
Rochelle: Hello?
Military [Propagator]: Rescue 7, that's coming from the bridge!
Bridge, identify yourself.
Bridge, who is this?
Coach: Hey! There are four of us on the bridge!
Ellis: Name's Ellis! You?
Four people who could use some help, sir!
Uh, uh, well shit, I'm Ellis, I got Rochelle here with me, Coach, and Nick.
Nick: My name's Nick. There's four of us on...on the west side of the bridge.
Rochelle: Sorry for using the radio, but we are four survivors on the bridge.
Four survivors on the bridge!
This is someone who could use some help!
Propagator: Bridge, are you immune?
Coach: We are not infected.
Ellis: I ain't sick.
I'm feeling pretty good.
I guess. I - I think so. Whaddya mean?
Nick: We are not infected.
Rochelle: We are not infected.
Propagator: Negative, Bridge. Are you immune? Have you encountered the infected?
Coach: Encountered? Boy, I am covered in zombie blood and puke and eyeballs and twenty other parts I don't even recognize! We are immune as shit!
Ellis: We fought zombies, yeah.
Well, hell yeah we fought zombies!
Nick: Yeah, you could say that.
Rochelle: Yeah, yes, yes. We are immune.
Propagator: Rescue 7, are you equipped for carriers?
Rescue 7: Affirmative, Propagator.
Propagator: Bridge, we have pulled out of that sector. Your only remaining pickup is available on the other end of the bridge. Our last chopper is leaving in ten minutes. You need to lower the span and get across the bridge. God be with you.
Bridge, that sector is clear of friendlies. Your only remaining pickup is on the east bank of the bridge. Our last chopper is leaving in ten minutes. You need to lower the span and get across to the east end.
[After contacting the military again]
Coach: We on our way.
I hear you, man. See you soon.
Wind up the chopper, because here we come.
Ellis: God be with you too, sir.
Okay. See you soon.
Nick: Roger that. Here we come.
Rochelle: We're on our way. Thank you.
We'll be there. Wait for us.
Propagator: Be advised, the bridge is crawling with Whiskey Delta. (WD - likely stands for Walking Dead: correction)
Be advised, the bridge is crawling with infected.
Propagator: Good luck.
Good luck, bridge.
God be with you, bridge.
[Waiting for the bridge to come down]
Coach: Once it's down, let's go.
Ellis: Alright. He says we gotta lower the bridge, be careful of the zombies, and they'll be waiting on the other side. Oh yeah, and he wishes us good luck.
They just said we oughta lower the bridge to get across it. And once we lower it we all gotta be careful 'cause there's zombies on the bridge. Huh, guess he didn't know we been like fighting zombies all through the city. And the swamps. And the river. And shit, everywhere. Man, we're like, fighting zombie machines and shit!

Ellis: Hey, come back man, there's still people here!
Nick: Hey, come back, I'm here! There's still someone down here!
Where the hell's the copter going? We're right here!
Rochelle: There's still people here! Come back, please! Come back!
Ellis: Alright, everybody calm down. That chopper looks like it's heading to the evac station at the mall.
Hey, I bet it's headed to the mall. There's an evacuation center there, everybody grab some weapons. I'll lead the way.
Looked to me like it was headed to the mall across town...and I'll call it what I want, Fancy Suit.
Nick: It's flying away from the burning building we're standing on. Let's follow its lead and get the hell outta here.
You could have yelled if you wanted.
Not to burst your bubble, Sport, but this building is burning down. They're not coming back.
Okay, helicopters don't come back when you yell at them. Now we know that.
Rochelle: Okay, guys, now's not the time for a pissing contest. The building's on fire! Let's get off this roof while we still can.
Oh, shit, they did not just leave us on this roof!
I can't believe I'm stranded in Savannah.
Ellis: It may have escaped y'all's notice, but this building's on fire.
Nick: Good. That's decided. Moving on, I think this building is on fire, so, I'd like to leave it.
Okay! We all had a turn yelling at the helicopter. Good! Moving on, I think the building's on fire.
Ellis: You best grab a weapon, I reckon you'll need 'em.
Nick: We better arm ourselves. I hope you three know how to fight. You don't look it.
If the world's going to hell, I'm taking a weapon.
Rochelle: I've been hearing about...things. [Hesitates] You know what, never mind. But...grab a weapon, trust me.
I think those things are down there. Grab a weapon.
We should take some weapons. I work in the news, and the news says we should definitely take some weapons.
Nick: I trust ya. You look like a man who knows his doughnuts.
[Seeing infected for the first time]
Ellis: Holy shit, zombies are real. [whispered] I knew it.
Zombies are real! I knew them movies were true!
Dude, those zombies are real. I knew them books were non-fiction!
That what I think it is?
Those what I think they are?
Those don't look like Savannah-ites I ever seen.
Holy shit, kill it!
Whoa, whoa! Is that a zombie, like a, like a zombie zombie?
Nick: Holy shit, it's zombies!
Well, this is unexpected.
These don't look like people.
Jesus Christ, what are these things?
I don't know about you but I'm killing these things.
So that's a Boomer, huh? You know, it's sad to see an eating disorder get out of control like that.
Rochelle: These...don't look like people.
Zombies! Holy shit. They're real.
You hear about them, but...until you see them...
What the hell is this thing?
Okay, now I'm - killing zombies!
[Map room]
Ellis: [whistles] Check out all them Xs, man. Looks like New Orleans is the last city standing.
Alright, if this map's right, New Orleans's the last city standing.
I dunno about you folks, but looking at that map, I wouldn't mind heading to, I dunno, New Orleans?
Man, I hope you guys like New Orleans, 'cause that's where we're headed if we wanna live.
Nick: If that map's right, New Orleans might be the last place in America that can get us out alive.
According to this map the only place left standing is New Orleans.
Jesus, the whole country's falling.
This map is not good news.
According to this map, there aren't a whole lotta options.
Rochelle: I heard Atlanta already fell.
I work for a news station. We heard about the East Coast, but...Jesus. I didn't know it was this bad.
Hey, look at this map. We need to get to New Orleans fast.
New Orleans is all that's left.
Of course we're really fragmented. CEDA never told anyone it was this bad.
I think CEDA should've been telling us to do more than wash our hands.
[Elevator]
Nick: Technically you're not supposed to use an elevator in a fire. But that might not apply during a zombie apocalypse.
Ellis: You don't say! Wrestling 'n such?
Yeah? How do you like our city so far?
Yeah. Well, it's normally a lot nicer when we don't have the zombies. I'm Ellis, by the way.
Holy shit. This some sorta nightmare? Goddamn zombie apocalypse and shit. Shit, shit, shit. The hell we gonna do?
Well, my name's Ellis, but some people call me El. But I really prefer Ellis 'cause El kinda sounds like a girl's name...but...if you prefer to call me El I guess you can.
Ellis! How 'bout you, big man?
Hey, we gotta watch each other's backs! My name's Ellis, you?
Ellis. Pleased to meet you, Coach [or] Rochelle [or] Nice to meet you, Nick.
Folks call me Ellis. I run an auto shop with a couple of my buddies, we're also in a band. I play bass.
Folks call me Ellis. I run an auto shop around here. Instead of evacuating I armored up a truck to drive myself outta here. Built that thing to be zombie proof. Well, it turns out it was only 99% zombie proof. Last 1% tore that truck to shit.
Huh. If everyone's evacuating, who's watching the news?
Folks call me Ellis, and I learned how to shoot a gun before I learned how to walk. [sometimes ends with] ...White Suit'n Nick.
Figures. Bosses are shitheads. My name's Ellis.
That's right. My name's Ellis and I've lived here all my life. And there's a tons of places here that aren't pieces of shit.
Nick: Alright, we're all friends now. Get ready.
Name's Nick, but don't worry about learning it 'cause I ain't sticking around long.
Nick. That's all you need to know.
Hey. What's your name?
You did good out there, Rochelle.
Nick. Name's Nick. Y'all did good. What are your names?
Anyone get bit? Isn't that how this works?
Well, I'm glad we got that out of the way - now, did anyone get bit?
There's blood on me, but it ain't mine.
Nick. Not that it matters 'cause I think we should split up when this thing opens.
I normally go solo, but under the circumstances I'm thinking we stick together. Call me Nick. You got names?
2. Streets
[Gun store]
Rochelle: A gun store? [Pause] For the first time in my life, that sounds...good.
A whole store full of guns. You're talking my language, Coach [or] Ellis.
So long as there's zombies trying to kill me, he is.
Well, no, not usually, but for now, yes.
[Clears throat] Not normally, it's...it's complicated.
Okay, no. Normally I hate guns. But I think I hate zombies more.
[Whitaker & the cola delivery]
Rochelle: Alright, sir. We'll go get you your snacks. But you better not try to weasel out of this.
Sir, if you let me keep this gun, I'll go get you anything you need.
S-shit, I think I accidentally grabbed diet cola. We should go - hey thanks Whitaker!

[Safehouse]
Coach: You know what? No more helicopters. I'm just saying that now. I'm good.
Next time someone wants to shoot our pilot, can I get a little warning?
That was the first time I was in a helicopter. I always imagined it with less zombies.
Shit, that pilot just changed. One minute he was flying us to safety, the next he was...well. I was pretty damn sure he was trying to eat us.
Where in the hell are we?
Anyone check where we were before we went down?
Ellis: Oh man that was some crazy shit! Nick, you were a man of action! [pause] Where the hell are we?
Guess our crash was so soft 'cause we landed in the swamp.
Nick: I can't believe none of you were going to shoot him.
Conversations
Ellis: Nick, what the hell, you shot the pilot!
Nick: Well he wasn't doing a very good job once he became a zombie, now was he?
Rochelle: That's true. If I had to pick a low point in the flight, it was probably when he stopped flying the chopper and attacked us. Anyone...know where we are?
[Alternate]
Ellis: True, true, he was a zombie, but he was also our only pilot!
Nick: I shot a zombie. He was a zombie, Ellis, he must have gotten bitten before he picked us up.
[Alternate]
Rochelle: He was flying the helicopter!
Coach: Man, that was some shit. The pilot becoming a zombie right before our eyes? Nice shooting, Nick.
Nick: No problem, big guy. Sorry about the landing.
[Gas station]
Coach: C'mon now, if I was having a cook-out, I ain't inviting CEDA either.
Man, when you forced to turn to people living in a swamp to help you get out of the city, I don't think CEDA's doing their job right.
Ellis: Well that ain't very friendly.
Nick: Great. We crash-land in front of a village that hates everyone.
This looks like a friendly place.
They probably should've added "No zombies" to that sign.
Rochelle: Well, we aren't CEDA, or the military. So I guess we're welcome.
When they say "Stay out" I'm sure they mean someone else.
Do you think they put the sign up before or after the infection?
Hope the swamp people don't mind us visiting.
Huh. Friendly bunch.
Let's visit. They seem nice.
[Gator Village]
Coach: Do not feed the gators.
Ellis: All this litter is shameful.
Oh ho, now that's smart. See, zombies can't operate a ferry.
Swimming with gators? Why no thank you.
Rochelle: 'Earl's Gator Village?' This just keeps getting better.
Ah, looks like they're all headed to the village...deeper in the swamp.
Well, if anyone could survive this...it would be people who live like this.
They actually have to put a sign up to stop people from swimming in the gator park? Alright...
"No swimming in the gator park." Fair enough.
Conversations
Rochelle: Yeah, let's just cut through the gator park and visit the crazy militants in the swamp! Sound good?
Coach: I seen that movie. It don't end well.
[Alternate]
Naw, that don't sound good at all.
[Ferry]
Coach: Hey, maybe we oughta stop this boat right here and live the rest of our years between the shores.
Ellis: Man, I wish we were back at that amusement park.
Conversations
Rochelle: Ellis, does your tattoo mean anything?
Ellis: Oh this here? That says I'm a badass zombie killing machine.
Rochelle: You had real foresight to get that tattooed.
Rochelle: So. Um. Do you guys know anything about the swamps?
Ellis: Oh yeah, I know plenty about the swamps. Fulla bugs, gators, snakes, and zombies now.
Ellis: Listen up, everybody. Be on the lookout for blood farmers. I'm serious.
Rochelle: What? Blood farmers? Boy, what in the hell are you talking about?
Ellis: Duh, farmers that don't grow crops. They grow people. To eat.
Rochelle: ...Sorry I even asked.
Ellis: Yeah, well, you'll be real sorry if we run into 'em.
Ellis: Hey Nick, I used to have a suit just like yours.
Nick: What, you? Really?
Ellis: Yep, when I had first Holy Communion in second grade. [sometimes adds] I don't think it fits anymore, though.
Coach: Heh, alright. Look at you, young'n, giving Nick some shit [sometimes adds] right back.
Ellis: Nick, remember when we ran on that roller coaster?
Nick: Yes. [sometimes adds] I remember, Ellis.
Ellis: Oh come on now, that was fun.
[Alternate]
Coach: Nick, don't pay no attention to that boy.
Rochelle: Hey Nick, what do you think the odds are that the swamp people are still alive?
Nick: What, alive infected, or alive and not zombies?
Rochelle: Not zombies.
Nick: A hundred to one.
Rochelle: Sounds about right.
Nick: Shit! This swamp is going to ruin my white suit.
Rochelle: Huh. The white suit with zombie brains on it?
Nick: Brains come out. Swamp water doesn't. Don't ask me how I know that.
[Alternate]
Ellis: You know what you could do? You could try to cover yourself in mud. We're definitely not short on that.
Ooh. You could try covering yourself in mud.
Rochelle: So what do you think is going to kill us? Zombies, gators, snakes, bugs...or swamp people?
Ellis: The way we're shooting? Each other.
[Alternate]
Nick: You forgot one thing. From the way we shoot? Each other.
Rochelle: ...yeah, I forgot about that.
[Plank Country]
Ellis: Alright, Coach. Got anything inspirational to say as we enter the swamps?
Coach: Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.
Ellis: Alright, alright, kinda hoping you wouldn't get all biblical on me. [or] ...weren't gonna get all fire and brimstone on me.
Yeah, I'm walking through that valley and I'm kicking some ass!
[Alternate]
Nick: Wow, Coach. That was uplifting. [sometimes adds] Everybody else motivated now?
Coach: Nick, we goin through a swamp filled with zombies. Y'all want me to lie to you?
[Unsorted]
Coach: I normally stay the hell away from swamps on principle. You remember that movie with that golfer that got his hand ate by a gator? That shit's real.
Hell. Sometimes it's best not to find out what you don't know.
Ellis: Hey, y'all ask me these swamp people got it all figured out, man. No cops, no rules...
I'm just gonna say it. I don't like the swamp, or swamp people.
Rochelle: Does anyone have any bug spray?
Conversations
Ellis: Hey guys, be honest. Are my muscles getting bigger?
Rochelle: ...I don't know, maybe?
Ellis: I knew it. All this running around and climbing up on stuff's making me buff as hell.
Rochelle: No indoor plumbing?
Ellis: They figured out how to stop going to the bathroom? Man, that is amazing! ...Oh. No, wait. Oh I just got that. Shit, that's gross as hell.
Rochelle: Hey Ellis, that's a bathtub. You ever seen one before?

THE MILITARY IS SHOOTING
TO KILL
THEY CAN'T
KILL ALL
OF US
YES THEY CAN
(House hallway)
CEDA ABANDONED US
THE ARMY FENCED US UP
WE'RE NOT SICK
If you can read this,
The Military cut us off
We have been left to
die.

Survivor Dialog
[Safehouse]
Nick: If that was their idea of safety, I can't wait to see what's out here.
[Neighborhood]
Coach: Zombies didn't bring down that chopper.
Nick: Zombies didn't take down this helicopter.
Coach: I hope those hash marks mean zombies.
[or]
Nick: Does this guy's scoreboard mean what I think it means?
Coach: Man, I hope not.
Coach: There's some kinda war going on out here.
Nick: Jesus, it was open season on everything here.
[Sewer]
Coach: Everybody in the sewer!
Coach: Nick, good news! We going down in this sewer!
Nick: Oh Christ, not the sewer.
I am not climbing into - aw, screw it, let's go.
Nick: Oh my god, the stink's inside my head.
Coach: Man, Nick, you picked a bad day to wear your white suit.
Nick: Tell me about it.
[Impound lot]
Nick: Do you still smell sewer? 'Cause I still smell it.
Ellis: Hey, Nick, what kinda car you drive?
Nick: Your mom's car.
[Bombed Bridge/Cemetery]
Ellis: Well, shit, guess we ain't going that way.
Nick: That's it, we're really here! We're on the bridge, we're here, we're here!
Oh, come on!
They're blowing this bridge to cover a retreat. If we wanna go with 'em, we better hurry.
Rochelle: There's the bridge!
What are they doing?!
Coach: Alright!...Shit. Nobody panic. We gonna head down and find another way up onto the bridge.
Nick: You sure we shouldn't just panic? I mean, I think panic was invented for just this sorta situation.
Coach: Get your ass movin', Nick!
Ellis: I guess we're gonna have to visit that graveyard.
Oh man, I hope we don't see any ghosts.
Nick: Ellis, you're carrying like ten different guns.
Ellis: You can't shoot a ghost, Nick - I mean, shit, it ain't rocket science, man.
Ellis: It's like a little city of graves.
Ellis: You know why they bury them above ground?
They bury them like that because they're under sea level.
Ellis: Man, if these were real zombies, going into this graveyard'd be like...death.
Nick: The City of the Dead...

[Saferoom]
[Restaurant]
Nick: God, I love pool. [not sure if this is where he says it]
[Parade Float]
Nick: Look, Ellis! A tractor.
Ellis: I don't own a tractor, man.
Oh, you know what, whatever Nick. You should see my truck. Man, it is badass.
5. The Bridge
[Saferoom dialog]
Ellis: One time, the Army bombed my buddy Keith - he went camping and didn't bother to read the signs, and I guess they were just testing bombs that day, all sorts of stuff too, not just regular bombs, like biological nerve gas bombs, shrapnel bombs, these bombs that break up in the air into like, a hundred smaller bombs -
Nick: Before we run across this bridge right toward the people who've been dropping bombs on us, anyone want to talk about a Plan B?
Coach: Well, you're free to make yourself a new life right here in this room, Nick.
No.
Ellis: I don't.
Nick: [laugh] Alright, let's go.
[laugh] Ok, alright, let's go.
Coach: Alright, alright, alright. We gonna stroll across that bridge, and the Army's gonna take care of us.
Nick: Or, they're going to line us up against a wall and shoot us.
[Contacting military]
Coach: Those sound like soldiers. Somebody talk to 'em.
Somebody pick up the radio.
Ellis: Yo, somebody ought to pick up that radio.
Grab that radio.
Nick: Hey, those are soldiers. Let's let 'em know we're here.
Is somebody going to pick up the radio?
Rochelle: Somebody want to grab that radio?
Coach: Hello?
Ellis: Hello there!
Nick: Uh, hello?
Rochelle: Hello?
Military [Propagator]: Rescue 7, that's coming from the bridge!
Bridge, identify yourself.
Bridge, who is this?
Coach: Hey! There are four of us on the bridge!
Ellis: Name's Ellis! You?
Four people who could use some help, sir!
Uh, uh, well shit, I'm Ellis, I got Rochelle here with me, Coach, and Nick.
Nick: My name's Nick. There's four of us on...on the west side of the bridge.
Rochelle: Sorry for using the radio, but we are four survivors on the bridge.
Four survivors on the bridge!
This is someone who could use some help!
Propagator: Bridge, are you immune?
Coach: We are not infected.
Ellis: I ain't sick.
I'm feeling pretty good.
I guess. I - I think so. Whaddya mean?
Nick: We are not infected.
Rochelle: We are not infected.
Propagator: Negative, Bridge. Are you immune? Have you encountered the infected?
Coach: Encountered? Boy, I am covered in zombie blood and puke and eyeballs and twenty other parts I don't even recognize! We are immune as shit!
Ellis: We fought zombies, yeah.
Well, hell yeah we fought zombies!
Nick: Yeah, you could say that.
Rochelle: Yeah, yes, yes. We are immune.
Propagator: Rescue 7, are you equipped for carriers?
Rescue 7: Affirmative, Propagator.
Propagator: Bridge, we have pulled out of that sector. Your only remaining pickup is available on the other end of the bridge. Our last chopper is leaving in ten minutes. You need to lower the span and get across the bridge. God be with you.
Bridge, that sector is clear of friendlies. Your only remaining pickup is on the east bank of the bridge. Our last chopper is leaving in ten minutes. You need to lower the span and get across to the east end.
[After contacting the military again]
Coach: We on our way.
I hear you, man. See you soon.
Wind up the chopper, because here we come.
Ellis: God be with you too, sir.
Okay. See you soon.
Nick: Roger that. Here we come.
Rochelle: We're on our way. Thank you.
We'll be there. Wait for us.
Propagator: Be advised, the bridge is crawling with Whiskey Delta. (WD - likely stands for Walking Dead: correction)
Be advised, the bridge is crawling with infected.
Propagator: Good luck.
Good luck, bridge.
God be with you, bridge.
[Waiting for the bridge to come down]
Coach: Once it's down, let's go.
Ellis: Alright. He says we gotta lower the bridge, be careful of the zombies, and they'll be waiting on the other side. Oh yeah, and he wishes us good luck.
They just said we oughta lower the bridge to get across it. And once we lower it we all gotta be careful 'cause there's zombies on the bridge. Huh, guess he didn't know we been like fighting zombies all through the city. And the swamps. And the river. And shit, everywhere. Man, we're like, fighting zombie machines and shit!
