Quotes 

• [Madison stops Celia Flores from slapping Victor Strand] 

  Celia Flores : Why are you here? Who are you?

  Madison Clark : His friend.

  Celia Flores : You are his fool.

• [Victor Strand tells Celia Flores that he needs to bury Thomas Abigail] 

  Victor Strand : I have to bury him.

  Celia Flores : You don't deserve to bury him.

  Victor Strand : It's what he wanted.

  Celia Flores : What he wanted? What he wanted was what you promised. This man, my beautiful, stupid son, wanted you!

  Victor Strand : He is not your son.

  [when Celia backhands Strand] 

• [Celia Flores looks at her infected son Luis as she talks to Nick] 

  Celia Flores : What do you see? Look at him. Is this death? What you see is my son. Changed, yes, but no less my son. My Luis. Who you brought back to me.

  Celia Flores : [Celia in Spanish to her men]  Put him with the others. Take care of him.

  Celia Flores : There are many who do not understand us. Or are afraid to.

  Celia Flores : [Celia rests her hand up to Nick's face]  You are not.

• [Celia Flores asks Nick about which person is the real monster] 

  Celia Flores : When they look upon my son, what do they see? Go on, say it.

  Nick Clark : A monster.

  Celia Flores : Is that what we call these creatures who can't control their nature, their hunger? And what do we call those who destroy them? The ones who kill without thinking. Which is the monster?

• [Celia Flores tells Nick that this world is their beginning] 

  Celia Flores : This is not apocalypse. This is our beginning, Nicholas. The end of death itself. Life eternal.

• [Celia Flores gives a speech for her son Thomas Abigail] 

  Celia Flores : [Celia in Spanish]  Forty years we worked for these Abigail's. Made their food. Cleaned their linens. I raised the son they ignored, as if I bore him from my own body. Make no mistake, Thomas was my son. Today, I bury my son. I'm not a housekeeper anymore. All of us are new again. And whatever sins we committed... whatever lies we told... hearts we betrayed... today, they are forgotten. The world is reborn. Now the work begins. And we shall do it in the honor of his memory.

• [Celia Flores tries to feed the tied-up Daniel Salazar her Pozole] 

  Celia Flores : [Celia smiles]  You think I would poison a good Pozole? Who would do such a thing?

• [Daniel Salazar tells Celia Flores that her Dead is an abomination] 

  Celia Flores : I'm not the killer here. I see the way you look at me. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that's hatred in your eyes. But I am old enough to know fear when I see it.

  Daniel Salazar : [Daniel in Spanish]  Me too. I'm not afraid of you.

  Celia Flores : [Celia in Spanish]  Not me. It's the Dead you fear.

  Daniel Salazar : Those creatures you keep, they are an abomination, an act against God.

  Celia Flores : It's not my Dead you fear, old man. It is your own.

• [Celia Flores tells Daniel Salazar to confess his sins to his Dead] 

  Celia Flores : They haunt you. They hate you for your silence.

  Griselda Salazar : [as Daniel begins to imagine hearing his wife's voice, as Griselda whispers in Spanish]  Asleep you would confess. In dreams, I would grant you absolution.

  Celia Flores : [Celia in Spanish]  Don't carry this torment with you into death. Confess your sins. Ask their forgiveness. End your pain.

  Griselda Salazar : [Griselda in Spanish]  And mine.

  Celia Flores : You are dying. Can you feel it? Speak while you still have words.

• [Celia Flores tells Madison that she needs to understand the Dead like her son Nick] 

  Celia Flores : He understands. The changed ones are our responsibility.

  Madison Clark : He's my responsibility.

  Celia Flores : If you remain here, you will have to accept them as Nicholas does. As we accept them. It is a new world. I hope you can see it with new eyes.

  Madison Clark : What if I can't do that?

  Celia Flores : Then your son will choose between his family and the truth that they don't want to understand.

  Madison Clark : I want to understand. I do. I need to understand.

• [Celia Flores and Madison look at the Dead family members in the cage] 

  Celia Flores : [Celia opens the gate]  If your child was hungry, would you not feed him? If your child couldn't speak... would you not speak for him anyway? Even if your child could not love, would you not love him anyway?

  Madison Clark : I would.

  Celia Flores : What wouldn't you do for your children?

  Madison Clark : Nothing.

  [when Madison closes Celia in the gate with the infected, locking it]
