    • Quotes
      • Joel: [broadcasting over the radio] I'm alive because of the generosity of a few strangers, and the kindness of a great dog. My colony and I are headed to the mountains. There's supposed to be less monsters there.
      • Joel: And don't get me wrong. The surface is a dangerous place. But I don't think hiding underground is the answer anymore. There's a great big, beautiful, inspiring world out there.
      • Joel: [being heard from various places] And I know you think it might be impossible, but it's not. If I can survive out here, anybody can. It's like a good friend once told me. Good instincts are earned by making mistakes. If you're lucky enough to survive a few mistakes, you're gonna do all right out here.
      • Joel: In this recording, you'll find everything I know about our new world. Most of this I had to learn the hard way. Hopefully, it'll make your way a little easier. So crank open that hatch.
      • Survivor Dad: Okay, come on...
      • Joel: Breathe some fresh air. Go. Live your life. It won't be easy, but it'll be worth it.
      • Joel: I traveled 85 miles to find that what I had been missing below ground for seven years was right above my head this whole time. And it's incredible.
      • Joel: Oh, and one last thing. Don't settle. You don't have to. Not even at the end of the world. Signing off, Joel Dawson.
