Quotes23

  • Blade: There are worse things out tonight than vampires.
  • Dr. Karen Jenson: Like what?
  • Blade: Like me.
  • Blade: OK, Vampire Anatomy 101, crosses and holy water don't do dick so forget what you've seen in the movies. You use a wooden stake, silver or sunlight to kill them. You know how to use one of these?
  • [hands her a gun]
  • Dr. Karen Jenson: No, but I'll damn sure learn quick.
  • Blade: Safety's off, round's already chambered. Silver hollow-point bullets filled with garlic. You aim for the head or the heart. Anything else, its your ass.
  • Dr. Karen Jenson: Oh, great. Now you're robbing him. You gonna rob me, too?
  • Blade: How do you think that we fund this organization, huh? We're not exactly the March of Dimes.
  • Dr. Karen Jenson: You have a lot of love for him, don't you?
  • Blade: We have a good arrangement. He makes the weapons. I use them.
  • Dr. Karen Jenson: How'd you get that scar, Deacon? A born vampire would have the power to regenerate from birth. You must've gotten scarred before you were turned. Isn't that right? Vampires like you aren't a species. You're just infected, a virus, a sexually transmitted dis...
  • Deacon Frost: I'll tell you what we are, sister! We're the top of the fucking food chain. The Blood god's coming and after tonight, you people are fucking history. He's a hurricane. An act of God. Anyone caught in his path will instantly be turned. Everyone you've ever known... everyone you've ever fucking loved... it won't matter who's pureblood and who's not. How you gonna cure the whole fucking world? Hm? And Blade's blood is the key.
  • Guard: We've got an intruder.
  • Dr. Karen Jenson: You're one of them, aren't you?
  • Blade: No, I'm something else.
  • Dr. Karen Jenson: Go ahead... Bite me.
  • Dr. Karen Jenson: [after burning Pearl] He moved.
  • Dr. Karen Jenson: I need to get back to the lab, if I'm going to cure you.
  • Blade: It's not over. You keep your cure. There's still a war going on, and I have a job to do. You wanna help, make me a better serum.
  • Blade: You see the valets over there? They're vampires. So's the doorman... and the whore on the corner.
  • Dr. Karen Jenson: How can you tell?
  • Blade: By the way they move. The way they smell.
  • [Karen sprays Officer Krieger with garlic mace when he's about to shoot her]
  • Officer Krieger: Ugh! What is this? Garlic?
  • Dr. Karen Jenson: Yeah, well he said it would work against vampires.
  • Officer Krieger: Vampires? Who said I was a vampire?
  • [Blade suddenly appears behind Officer Kreiger and knocks him to the floor]
  • Blade: Nobody.
  • Dr. Karen Jenson: You used me as bait?
  • Blade: Get over it.
  • Dr. Karen Jenson: Wait a minute! I'm coming with you.
  • Blade: You're useless.
  • Dr. Karen Jenson: You been listening in the whole time?
  • Blade: Keeping radio contact.
  • Whistler: Think I'd let him run loose without a chaperon?
  • Blade: I'm not human.
  • Dr. Karen Jenson: You look human to me.
  • Blade: Humans don't drink blood.
  • Dr. Karen Jenson: That was a long time abo. Maybe you should let that go?
  • Blade: I have spent my whole life lookin' for that thing that killed my mother, and made me what I am. And every time I take one of those monsters out, I get a little piece of that life back. So don't you tell me about forgetting.
  • Dr. Karen Jenson: You know, my mother used to say: A cold heart is a dead heart.
  • Karen: So, am I a prisoner here?
  • Whistler: Not at all. We just had to take certain precautions before we let you go. You got to understand, they're everwhere. Vampires. A Hominus Nocturna. We hunt them you see, moving from one city to the next, tracking their migrations. They're hard to kill. They tend to regenerate.
  • Karen: And I'm supposed to believe all this?
  • Blade: Well, you already met Mr. Crispy at the hospital. What do you think?
  • Dr. Karen Jenson: Who are you people?
  • Whistler: My name's Abraham Whistler. You've met Blade.
  • Dr. Karen Jenson: So what do you use then? Stakes? Crosses?
  • Whistler: Crosses don't do squat.
  • Dr. Karen Jenson: How'd you get that scar, Deacon? I born vampire would have the power to regenerate from birth. You must've gotten scarred before you were turned. Isn't that right? Vampires like you aren't a species. You're just infected, a virus, a sexually transmitted dis...
  • Deacon Frost: I'll tell you what we are, sister! We're the top of the fucking food chain. The Blood god's coming and after tonight, you people are fucking history. He's a hurricane. An act of God. Anyone caught in his path will instantly be turned. Everyone you've ever known... everyone you've ever fucking loved... it won't matter who's pureblood and who's not. How are you gonna cure the whole fucking world? Hm?
