"To kill survivors." "Yeah, well, what about the guys outside, the ones that were shooting at us?" "They're human." "Why would the Army want us to kill other humans?" "Because the Army, Reznik, Vosch, they're the Others." "And because we're kids, they thought they could manipulate us into doing their dirty work." "We're not fighting the 5th Wave." "We are the 5th Wave." "Oh, God." "So..." "What do we do?" "Take out your trackers." "We go AWOL." "This means we can't go back." "You know that, right?" "Nugget" "I left him back at the base."

"It was quiet, but it was there." "And when the ship arrived, it was like a switch was flipped inside me, and the sleeper woke up." "How many people have you killed?" "Did you kill your family?" "No." "The disease..." "The disease that the Others created." "The disease that you created." "Your family loved you." "Our kind believe that love is just a trick." "An instinct." "A way to protect your genetic future." "Do you really believe that?" "I did." "But then I saw you." "EVAN:" "I don't know how." "I don't understand it, but..."

"You drop your lie, and I'll drop mine." "Tell me, Ben." "What do you know?" "I know what you are." "You're gonna kill me, aren't you?" "Yes." "Why?" "What's the point of any of this?" " What did we do to deserve..." " Nothing." "Other than occupy a space we need." "(SIGHS)" "We're not that different, Ben." "Your kind would do exactly the same thing." "No." "Our kind wouldn't have wiped out an entire species." "Of course you would." "You've been doing it for centuries." "Sir, Sergeant Reznik's dead." "Security found her body." " Where?"
