Episode Quotes
Jane Cleaver: The point is we are not giving up and we are definitely not giving up to a bunch of crippled (fires shot), stinking (fires shot), maggot-infested (fires shot), brain-dead zombie dissidents! (fires shot) C'mon and get it! C'mon, ya pussies!

David Murch: (about the President) He's not stupid. He has a way of making stupid people feel just as smart as he is.

(talking about the zombie soldiers)
David Murch: Kurt, why do you think they came back? What do you suppose they want?
Kurt Rand: Couldn't be the disability benefits.

Jane Cleaver: I mean, I always liked guys with uniforms, but only like, with some skin.

Jane Cleaver: The fact is, Marty, they've studied these creatures and they have no higher brain function. Their intelligence level is basically that of a liberal.



Cultural References
Visual: G. A. Romero

The last tombstone we see has the name G. A. Romero on it. This is a reference to George A. Romero, a director of many famous zombie films, such as Night of the Living Dead (1968) and Dawn of the Dead (1978).
