Ben Parish
What did we do to deserve...
Colonel Vosch
Nothing. Other than occupy a space we need. We're not that different, Ben. Your kind would do exactly the same thing.
Ben Parish
No. Our kind wouldn't have wiped out an entire species.
Colonel Vosch
Of course you would. You've been doing it for centuries.

[narrating]
The Others see our hope as a weakness; as a delusion. But they're wrong. It's our hope that lets us survive. That lets us bend, but remain unbroken. It's our hope that will let us win one day. It's our hope that makes us human.

Cassie Sullivan
[narrating]
Here's how you kill off a species. First, you take out the easy ones: the weak, the exposed. Kill them as efficiently as possible. That was the first three Waves. But even if you bug bomb a house, there's always a few cockroaches left. Now, we are like those cockroaches. And the Others are picking us off... One by one. And because the Others look like us, we can't trust anyone.

Colonel Vosch
[lecturing the children] When I was a child, I spoke as a child. I thought and I reasoned as a child. But when I became a man, I put away childish things. Those words never meant more to me than they do right now, looking at all of you. Our hope. Our future. The best and brightest vision of who we are and what we're fighting for.
Colonel Vosch
[begins pacing] Our intelligence tells us The Others are readying themselves for a final attack. The 5th Wave. What form it will take, we do not know. If they are successful, there will be no more Waves. No more conflicts. Humanity as we know it will be wiped from the face of the Earth.
Colonel Vosch
[becoming strident] Now, I'm gonna tell you some things I know. This is our world. It is our home. They will not over run it. They will not possess it. So with whatever time we have left, you will learn to think, speak, move, and fight like the soldiers you are. Let the weight of our loss fuel you. Let the weight of our dead embolden you. Let the weight of our hope drive you to victory. Can you do that?
Colonel Vosch
Soldiers! Can you do that?
Kids
[in unison] Sir, yes, sir!
Colonel Vosch
Can you do that?
Kids
[in unison] Sir, yes, sir!
Colonel Vosch
[calmly] Good.

There are over 300 billion birds in the world. That's 75 birds for every person. Mom said the avian flu was already one of the world's deadliest viruses. In the 3rd Wave, The Others modified it. Made it unstoppable. And the birds spread it across the planet.
