- Jeremy Gilbert: Come on, you can't keep saying no to me.
- Anna: Look, I'm not gonna turn someone who learned everything he knows about vampires from Netflix.
- Pearl: Jeremy Gilbert? Is that what you've been up to?
- Anna: He's my friend. What's the big deal?
- Pearl: His family is the reason I was stuck in a tomb for over a century.
- Anna: That doesn't mean he'll make the same choices.
- Pearl: I want you to stop seeing him.
- Anna: I've been on my own for a long time, Mother. I can make my own decisions.
- Pearl: Then stop acting like a child. As soon as Jeremy finds out what you really are, he will turn on you.
- Anna: He already knows.
- Pearl: What did you just say?
- Anna: Jeremy knows. He likes it, and he likes me.
- Anna: [as Jeremy stands looking at the old newspaper photograph of Vicki] What are you doing?
- Jeremy Gilbert: My... my friend, Vicki, uh... she's... she's dead.
- Anna: Vicki? The one you thought was a...?
- Jeremy Gilbert: Yeah. Turns out she's been dead all along.
- Anna: [realizes] She's the reason you wanted to turn. You wanted to be with her.
- Jeremy Gilbert: [tears] Look, I'm sorry.
- [but there's only the curtains blowing in the wind]
- Jeremy Gilbert: So, I have an answer.
- Anna: To what?
- Jeremy Gilbert: Why you should turn me.
- Anna: We're back to that?
- Jeremy Gilbert: Look. I wake up every day and I feel okay, but there's something missing. Like a... like a hole. Some people, they fit. In life or whatever. I, I don't.
- Anna: So, you want a pity turn. I don't think so.
- Jeremy Gilbert: No, you should turn me because I don't have anything else.
- Anna: Do you even know why we turn other people? It's not to give someone a one-way ticket out of lonerhood. Okay? One, we need someone to do our dirty work. Two, revenge. Three, boredom, but you know that never turns out well. And then, you know, there's the obvious one. You love someone so much that you would do anything to spend all of eternity with them. I'm sorry but you don't fit any of those categories yet.
- Anna: Okay, we have some time. I'm not meeting my Mom until later.
- Jeremy Gilbert: Wait, does your Mom know you're a...
- Anna: The fact that you would even think that it's possible to keep something like that a secret from your own family is just further proof that you're not ready.
- Jeremy Gilbert: 'Not ready' is a step up from 'no'.
- Anna: And a million steps down from 'maybe'.
