• Neville : [talking to Anna about Bob Marley]  He had this idea. It was kind of a virologist idea. He believed that you could cure racism and hate... literally cure it, by injecting music and love into people's lives. When he was scheduled to perform at a peace rally, a gunman came to his house and shot him down. Two days later he walked out on that stage and sang. When they asked him why - He said, "The people, who were trying to make this world worse... are not taking a day off. How can I? Light up the darkness."

• Neville : My name is Robert Neville. I am a survivor living in New York City. I am broadcasting on all AM frequencies. I will be at the South Street Seaport everyday at mid-day, when the sun is highest in the sky. If you are out there... if anyone is out there... I can provide food, I can provide shelter, I can provide security. If there's anybody out there... anybody... please. You are not alone.

• Neville : I like Shrek.

• [from trailer] 

  Neville : God didn't do this. We did!

• Neville : [to a pretty mannequin in the video store]  I... I promised a friend I would say hello to you today.

  [begins to cry] 

  Neville : Please say hello to me.

  [sobs] 

  Neville : Please say hello to me.

• Neville : This is Ground Zero. This is my site. I can fix. I can fix this.

• [speaking of the mannequin at the DVD store] 

  Neville : What should I say? You wanna see some infected rats?

  [pauses] 

  Neville : I'll say hello tommorrow.

• Neville : Nothin' happened the way it was supposed to happen.

• Neville : Day one thousand and one. We came in close contact with a hive today. Blood tests confirm that I remain immune to both the airborne and contact strains. Canines remain immune to airborne strain only. The vaccine trials continue. I'm still unable to transfer my immunity to infected hosts. The Krippen Virus is... elegant.

  [mind wanders] 

  Neville : Just fishin' in the dark, son.

  [after a long pause, going back to his train of thought] 

  Neville : Behavioral note - an infected male exposed himself to sunlight today. Now it's possible decreased brain function or growing scarcity of food is causing them to... ignore their basic survival instincts. Social de-evolution appears complete. Typical human behavior is now entirely absent.

• Neville : [after his outburst scares Anna and Ethan]  It's just... I was saving that bacon!

• Anna : The world is quieter now. We just have to listen. If we listen, we can hear God's plan.

  Neville : God's plan.

  Anna : Yeah.

  Neville : All right, let me tell you about your "God's plan". Seven billion people on Earth when the infection hit. KV had a ninety-percent kill rate, that's five point four billion people dead. Crashed and bled out. Dead. Less than one-percent immunity. That left twelve million healthy people, like you, me, and Ethan. The other five hundred and eighty-eight million turned into your dark seekers, and then they got hungry and they killed and fed on everybody. Everybody! Every *single* person that you or I has ever known is dead! Dead! There is no god!

• Neville : What the hell are you doing out here, Fred? Fred, if you're real, you better tell me right now!

• Neville : [to Sam]  Just how you like it... disgusting!

• Neville : [to mannequin in video store]  Morning, Hank. I'm halfway through the "G's".

• Neville : [to Sam]  You can't go running into the dark.

• [while the Dark Seekers try to break through a plexiglass door in Neville's laboratory] 

  Neville : [screaming]  I can help. I can save you. I can save everybody.

• Neville : Eat your vegetables. Don't just push 'em around, eat 'em. I ain't playin'!

• [from trailer] 

  Neville : I'm not gonna let this happen.

• Neville : Come on, Sam. We gotta go.

• Neville : I'm listening.

• Robert Neville : Light up the darkness.
