Answer

Yes, we have to hurry (be quick/ fast)

Answer

"Quick" indicates rapid response or rapid motion.  There is no necessary connection to hurrying or not hurrying.  At times it can mean NOT hurrying.  For example, if I want to photograph a small rapidly moving bird, I need to watch the bird patiently and wait for the precise moment when I can QUICKLY capture the perfect shot.  As I do this, I am being quick, but also I am being careful not to hurry.
