- Mona: What a pity. Too bad our fantasy had to end so soon.
- David Balsiger: I am a righteous man... I am a righteous man...
- Mona: I was enjoying it.
- David Balsiger: I am a righteous man...
- Mona: No, David, you're like all the others. You wear your righteousness like a coat, so when it gets too warm, you can slip into something more comfortable.
- Paul: Say it or get out of here and stop wasting my time!
- David Balsiger: Okay. Is she like a vampire?
- Paul: Like a vampire? My friend, there is nothing in this world like a vampire! But you know that, don't you?
- David Balsiger: No. It's not true. Nobody believes in vampires-not real ones.
- Paul: That's their greatest strength: the fact that nobody believes. But you do, and you'll never be free again, you know.
- David Balsiger: Free?
- Paul: Free of that knowledge. Innocent. You've lost your innocence. You're so much like me when I first found out. Such a revulsion and yet such a sense of discovery. The Christopher Columbus of the world of the living dead.
- Mona: I spared you once, David, that night in the hospital, but not tonight. Tonight, I will have your soul. No power on Earth can save you now. You have tasted me, and I am Desire. Come to me, and you will live forever.
- David Balsiger: No! You can't have me! I'm a righteous man! You disgust me! Underneath, you're old! You're an old and shriveled woman!
- David Balsiger: I think I can help.
- Paul: Help? Help me? You're an amateur. I don't even know what you're doing here. What are you doing? Looking for Desire?
- David Balsiger: Desire?
- Paul: That's her name. Didn't you know that? Do you know how old she is, how long she's survived, how many victims she's claimed? Nothing! You know nothing! And you're gonna deal with her? You're gonna destroy her? Tell me, David, are you a righteous man? You offer me help. You're a child. A vampire has no power over a righteous man. You know that, don't you? No. How could you know that? Temporal men should not hunt vampires. Do you know why? Because she'll find a crack in your armor, a hairline split, and that's all she needs to seduce you, to penetrate your soul, and once she does, you're hers forever, my friend. For eternity.
