Hahaha--you know, Peter could have just dumped Roger down the escalator for old-time's sake.

I think it sounds as if Peter is about to apologize before being cut off. Rather than saying "I told you so," when someone you care about makes a fatal mistake, you feel guilty and helpless at their predicament. Peter feels badly for being harsh with Roger over his cavalier attitude, and having to use the elevator (instead walking) simply magnifies this feeling. At this point, the silence is uncomfortable between them because they both realize that Roger will pay the ultimate price for having lost his head earlier.

My favourite is in my sig which i think is from the script and Directors/Cannes cut.

It sums the whole movie up for me. Mankind is facing extinction unless something is done NOW.

Ah, the rantings of a lunatic. Not so sure it's under rated, but Wolly sure was one crazy bastard! When I heard him utter this while watching Dawn for the first time, I just knew his mind was gone and he was going to flip out if he successfully entered the building.

As much as I really don't like that word I do think it summed up who Wooley was and how far he had degenerated.

He illustrated how fast we all can degenerate into a bunch of blood thirsty savages.

He was that segment of civilization loosing its mind and snapping.

When I saw your first post, I thought, "Oh boy...

"

But... yeah, I guess it is kind of meaningful, especially when contrasted with the "There can be no more divisions among the living..." line later in the film.

Also, it's a hint at one of the underlying themes of the entire series. The zombies never actually "win" in any of the films. We always "lose" because we can't get along.

(BTW:First post -I think- for a loonngg time lurker. Greetings all!)
