Quotes30

  • David: Nurse!
  • Jack: Listen to me!
  • David: [crying] Nurse!
  • Jack: The undead surround me. Have you ever talked to a corpse? It's boring! I'm lonely! Kill yourself, David, before you kill others.
  • [David continues crying]
  • Jack: Please don't cry.
  • Jack: Did you hear that?
  • David: I heard that.
  • Jack: What was it?
  • David: Could be a lot of things.
  • Jack: Yeah?
  • David: A coyote.
  • Jack: There aren't any coyotes in England.
  • David: The Hound of the Baskervilles.
  • Jack: Pecos Bill.
  • David: Heathcliff.
  • Jack: Heathcliff didn't howl!
  • David: No, but he was on the moors.
  • Jack: Now, I'm really sorry to be upsetting you, but I have to warn you.
  • David: Warn me?
  • Jack: We were attacked by a werewolf.
  • David: [putting his hands over his ears] I'm not listening to this!
  • Jack: On the moors, we were attacked by a lycanthrope, a werewolf. I was murdered, an unnatural death, and now I walk the earth in limbo until the werewolf's curse is lifted.
  • David: Shut up!
  • Jack: The wolf's bloodline must be severed; the last remaining werewolf must be destroyed. It's you, David.
  • Jack: It's a full moon...
  • Jack, David: [remembering the warning they received] Beware the moon...
  • David: And stick to the road. Oops.
  • Jack: I vote we go back to the Slaughtered Lamb.
  • Jack: [describing his funeral] Debbie Klein cried a lot. So, so, you know what she does? She's soooo grief-stricken, she runs to find solace in Mark Levine's bed.
  • David: Mark... Levine?
  • Jack: An asshole! Life mocks me even in death!
  • Dart Player: You made me miss.
  • Jack: Sorry.
  • Dart Player: I've never missed that board before.
  • Jack: Have you ever talked to a corpse? It's boring.
  • Jack: David, you are hurting my feelings!
  • David: Hurting your feelings? Has it occurred to you that it might be unsettling to see you arise from the grave to visit me?
  • [first lines]
  • Truck Driver: That way is Proctor, and over here is the moors. I go this way.
  • Jack: Thanks for the ride, sir. You have lovely sheep.
  • Truck Driver: Boys, keep off the moors, stick to the roads. The best to ya...
  • David: Thanks again.
  • [then to the sheep]
  • David: We'll miss you.
  • David: Bye girls...
  • David: [sees Jack's reflection in bathroom mirror and shrieks] You're not real.
  • Jack: Ah, don't be a putz, David. Come here.
  • [motions, walks out of bathroom and looks inside bedroom door]
  • Jack: A nurse, huh?
  • David: [closes bedroom door] Shhh. Come on.
  • [motions and walks to living room]
  • David: What are you doing here?
  • Jack: I wanted to see you.
  • [picks up Mickey Mouse figure, moves its arm and uses high-pitched voice]
  • Jack: Hi, David!
  • David: Put that down! Okay, you've seen me. Now, go away.
  • Jack: I'm sorry I'm upsetting you, David, but you don't understand what's going on.
  • David: I understand all right. You're one of the "undead," and I'm a werewolf.
  • Jack: Yes, that's right.
  • David: Get out of here, Jack.
  • Jack: Tomorrow night's the full moon. You're gonna change. You'll become...
  • Jack: I know. I know. A monster.
  • Jack: You've gotta kill yourself, David, before it's too late.
  • David: Are you really dead, Jack?
  • Jack: What do you think?
  • David: I think I've lost my mind. I think you're not real. I think you're just another part of bad dream.
  • Jack: You've gotta believe me David.
  • David: Believe what? That tomorrow night, under the full moon, I'll sprout hair and fangs and eat people? Bullshit!
  • Jack: Oh, goddammit, David, please believe me! You'll kill and make others like me. I'm not havin' a nice time here. You've gotta take your own life.
  • David: I will not accept this. Go away.
  • Jack: This is not pretend, David.
  • David: I will not be threatened by a walking meatloaf!
  • Jack: Ah, fuck, David... what IS THAT?
  • [Appearing for the first time as the undead]
  • Jack: Can I have a piece of toast?
  • Jack: Those sheep shit on my pack.
  • Jack: [to the truck driver] You have very beautiful sheep.
  • Jack: It's a pentangle, a five-pointed star. It's used in witchcraft. Lon Chaney, Jr., at Universal Studios maintained that's the mark of the Wolf Man.
  • Jack: You're right, it is a pub.
  • David: Okay, well, what do you say? We go in for a little food, huh? Drink, rest?
  • Jack: The Slaughtered Lamb?
  • David: [notices that the sign has a wolf head instead of a lamb] That's kinda strange.
  • Jack: Where's the lamb?
  • David: It's probably inside getting cold, come on.
  • Jack: No, really. What kind of ad is that for a pub?
  • David: I don't know, would you rather the Hilton?
  • Jack: Alright, but whatever happens-- it's your fault.
  • David: It's my fault.
  • Jack: Right.
  • David: Alright, come on.
  • Jack: Life mocks me... even in Death!
  • David: I think Debbie Klein is a mediocre person with a good body.
  • Jack: There is nothing mediocre about Debbie Klein's body.
  • David: She's a jerk!
  • Jack: You're talking about the woman I love.
  • David: I'm talking about a girl you want to fuck, so give me a break.
  • Jack: Alright. Well, I have to make love to her. It's really very simple. She has not choice.
  • David: You know, it just fascinates me how much energy you spend on somebody so dull.
  • Jack: There's nothing dull - about that body.
  • David: We've known Debbie - what? Since the 8th grade? How many years of foreplay is that?
  • Jack: She says she likes me too much.
  • Jack: You scared me, you shithead!
  • David: I could hang myself.
  • Jack: No. No, if you did it wrong it could be painful. You'd choke to death.
