Quotes8

  • [first lines]
  • Annie: Everyone dies. Uh, actually, can I start that again? Everyone deserves a death. I WAS going to die of old age. That was the plan. Mitchell was going to go down in a blaze of gunfire and glory, not cold and alone and shit-scared. He didn't think Death would smile at him first. Death was always a certainty, the punch line we could all see coming, but not for Mitchell. For a vampire, death isn't the end but the beginning... So here we are. Overlooked and forgotten. Unnatural and... supernatural. Watching the dance from the sidelines. At least I was surrounded by friends and family. At least I got that bit right. You know the worst thing about being a ghost? It's lonely. You'll give anything for that crumb of comfort. That feel of skin against skin that says, "It's okay. I'm here." It's a hunger. The most basic instinct. You might even drag others into this world of the dead. Even if it means turning them into monsters too. Then there are the ones like George. The ones that should have died. But shattered and bloody, they walk away from the train wreck. But what's the cost? They're scarred. Transformed. They're monsters now too. Aberrations. The stuff of nightmares. The big bad wolf. So. What have we got left to look forward to? Us refugees. The flotsam and jetsam of death. Maybe, if we still deserve such a thing as mercy, we find each other.
  • Annie: [Mitchell allowed Becca to die instead of turning her into a vampire] Do you think he should have saved her?
  • George: I think he did.
  • Annie: [Opens front door] Hello!
  • Pizza Delivery Boy: 12 inch Mess of Meats.
  • Annie: Oh, thank you.
  • Mitchell: Great. Keep the change.
  • [Takes pizza]
  • Annie: So, um, how long have you been delivering pizzas?
  • Pizza Delivery Boy: Couple of months?
  • Annie: And could you ride a moped before or did they teach you?
  • Pizza Delivery Boy: They taught us. We had to drive round and round the car park.
  • Annie: I bet you hate pizza. I mean, you get home and your girlfriend's like, "What do you want for tea?" and I bet you're like, "Not pizza!"
  • Pizza Delivery Boy: I live with my dad.
  • Annie: Madness. See ya!
  • [Shuts front door]
  • Annie: He could see me.
  • Mitchell: He could SO see you.
  • Annie: Ahh, it's happening all the time now, and not just with people like you, but with normal people. I was outside putting out the recycling and a van drove past and the guy shouted "Slag!"
  • [giggles]
  • Annie: So who wants tea?
  • George: Ugh.
  • Annie: What?
  • George: You keep making tea! Every surface is covered with mugs of tea and coffee. I go to make myself some tea and I can't! There's no mugs, there's no tea, it's all been made! And you can't even drink it! Y-y-you can't drink it; you keep making it! Oh, oh, oh my god, it's driving me INSANE!
  • Annie: Oh, well, I like my routine. It makes me feel normal.
  • George: But-but-but you're a ghost!
  • Annie: Yeah. OK.
  • George Sands: [Annie's fiancé from when she was living has come to visit] What are you doing? We can hear you.
  • Annie: I just want to see him. Look, I can sneak down. I can hide.
  • George Sands: Are you crazy? He will see you and die of shock.
  • [Annie's face lights up]
  • George Sands: Annie, that is not an option.
  • Annie: Oh, you both off then?
  • Mitchell: Yeah, we've got work, and then it's his time of the month.
  • Annie: Oh. Right. Well. Tell you what, I won't miss that. Used to have to curl up on the sofa, hot water bottle, Pride and Prejudice. Anyone says anything to me I'd bite their head off. Gosh, I suppose in your case that, that is actually quite a possibility, isn't it? You know, biting?
  • Annie: All right, George? What's happening? I thought it was your time of the month.
  • Mitchell: It is. He's doing it here.
  • Annie: Ugh! I just Hoovered!
  • Mitchell: George, what do you need?
  • George: Uh, close the curtains, so it can't see the windows. And, uh, put some music on, loud.
  • Mitchell: Good idea. We'll say there's a party going on. Annie. Anything you don't want broken, put it in your room.
  • Annie: Uh, and what are we supposed to while he's doing his thing?
  • Mitchell: Get the hell out.
  • Annie: Okay, I've written a list of questions for you to ask him.
  • Mitchell: [Reading] "Are you screwing Janey Harris?"
  • Annie: She always fancied Owen. Trust me, if she had known when I died she'd have been here before the ambulance crew.
  • Mitchell: [Still reading] Aw. "Has my sister had a baby?".
  • Annie: Yeah, 'cause they've been trying for ages. I blame her husband. His name's Robin, he works in the post office.
  • George: Oh my god, has everybody taken stupid pills? This is Annie's ex. Annie's ex who buried her.
  • Annie: Everyone dies. Actually, can I start that again? Everyone deserves a death.
