- Ellie Williams: [Final line] Joel, open your eyes. Open your eyes. Joel, you gotta get up... I can't fuckin' do this without you. I don't know where the fuck I'm going, what the fuck I'm gonna do. Joel... Please. Joel, please.
- Ellie Williams: You know, I stood up for you today because I thought...
- Joel Miller: I made this decision for your own good. You'll be way better off with Tommy. He knows the area better than I do.
- Ellie Williams: Do you give a shit about me or not?
- Joel Miller: Of course, I do.
- Ellie Williams: Then what are you so afraid of? I'm not her, you know... Maria told me about Sarah and...
- Joel Miller: Don't. Don't say another word.
- Ellie Williams: I'm sorry about your daughter, Joel. But I have lost people, too.
- Joel Miller: You have no idea what loss is.
- Ellie Williams: Everybody I have cared for has either died or left me. Everybody, fucking except for you! So don't tell me that I'd be safer with somebody else because the truth is I would just be more scared.
- Joel Miller: You're right. You're not my daughter. And I sure as hell ain't your dad. Now, come dawn we're goin' our separate ways.
- Joel Miller: I have dreams.
- Tommy Miller: What dreams?
- Joel Miller: I don't know. All I know is that when I wake up, I know I've lost something.
- Ellie Williams: You came here to say goodbye or something?
- Joel Miller: No. I came here to steal one of these horses and go.
- Tommy Miller: I woulda gave you one.
- Joel Miller: I know. Anyway, that was 30 minutes ago, and I guess you deserve a choice. I still think you'd be better off with Tommy...
- Ellie Williams: [Shoves her duffle bag at Joel] Let's go.
- Joel Miller: So, uh, communism.
- Tommy Miller: Nah. Nah, It ain't like that.
- Maria: It is that. Literally. This is a commune. We're communists.
- Joel Miller: We're somewhere here. Exactly where? And your answer better be the same as your wife's.
- Marlon: Did you tell him the truth?
- Florence: Yeah.
- Marlon: Are you tellin' ME the truth?
- Florence: Yeah...
- Maria: [to Ellie] There's a whole lot you're not telling me. Good. Therein lies the point. Be careful who you put your faith in. The only people who can betray us... are the ones we trust.
- Ellie Williams: So let's go and find Tommy and the fireflies. It's gonna be easy. All we have to do is cross the river of death.
- Ellie Williams: It doesn't aim right.
- Joel Miller: Mmm hmm.
- Ellie Williams: You'll see.
- Joel Miller: A deep breath in, slow breath out. You squeeze the trigger like you love it.
- Ellie Williams: Mmm.
- Joel Miller: Gentle, steady, nice, and slow.
- Ellie Williams: You gonna shoot this thing or get it pregnant?
- Joel Miller: Back then, there were basically two main ways of lookin' at things. - Some people wanted to own everything. And some people didn't want anyone to own anything at all.
