Unmarked spoilers below.


  • In the Enemy of My Enemy chapter, Jason asks Salim about the monsters they've seen. If you choose the "foreboding" response, Salim will say that the creatures are vampires.
    Jason: Not possible.
    Salim: My father once told me, "if something looks like shit, and smells like shit, you don't have to taste it to know that it's shit!"
    Jason: (chuckles in amusement)
  • Right before the showdown in The Horror, Dar and Salim ambush the Americans by pointing a gun at Nick. Then (depending on whether or not they're still alive) Rachel, Eric, and Jason all appear as well, prompting Nick to turn his gun towards Salim. Realizing they're outnumbered, Salim instantly puts his hands up and says,
    Salim: ...I feel like our uniforms are getting in the way of what could be a beautiful relationship!
  • While exploring the giant cavern beneath the temple, Jason and Salim come upon the corpse of a non-infected creature.
    Jason: [Gestures towards the corpse] ...Touch it.
    Salim: You touch it!
    Jason: Pussy.
  • During their exploration in the catacombs, Salim attempts to lighten the situation. Jason isn't having it.
    Salim: Do you want to hear a joke?
    Jason: Nope.
  • While traveling to the mountains, Joey and Merwin trade Your Mom jokes.
    Joey: Hey, Merwin: What's your mama and the Bermuda Triangle have in common?
    Merwin: Why don't you fucking enlighten me?
    Joey: [grinning] They both swallow Marines.
    • Another:
      Merwin: Your mama's so nasty, I called her for phone sex and I got a fuckin' ear infection!
      Joey: How long you been sitting on that one?
      Merwin: Yeah, you like that? Got a shit ton more of those bad boys lined up.
      Joey: Yeah, that's what your mama said!
    • Which then prompts this gem to happen:
      Rachel: You two wanna cut the bullshit and focus on the mission?
      Merwin: Hey, only one place I let a woman boss me around like that, alright: that's between the sheets!
      Rachel: I'm surprised your mom lets women into your bedroom. [smirks] Don't want her getting jealous, now.
  • After Rachel falls and Nick and Jason regroup with Eric, they go to investigate the broken generator in the temple.
    Jason: So, this is Saddam's chemical weapons silo. Run for the fuckin' hills, we're all doomed.
  • A missable one occurs in Semper Fi after Salim potentially kills a vampire by throwing his spear.
    Jason: Did you seriously just throw that thing at me?
    Salim: I did. [chuckles]
