Quotes 

• Mick St. John : [referring to the stake protruding from his chest]  The stake. Take it... out.

  Beth Turner : Uhn. OK.

  [grapples with the stake] 

  Beth Turner : Maybe it's like a piece of glass, you're supposed to wait until we...

  Mick St. John : [emphatically]  Take it... OUT!

• Beth Turner : So, you know what you said earlier? Vampires really don't age?

  Mick St. John : Really don't.

  Beth Turner : So how old are you?

  Mick St. John : It's not polite to ask people their age.

  Beth Turner : That's just women. I know you must be older, but you look about 30.

  Mick St. John : That's how old I was when I was turned.

  Beth Turner : Wow. So when I was two...

  Mick St. John : I looked 30. When you're 82, I'm still gonna look 30.

  Beth Turner : So how old are you, really?

  Mick St. John : I'm gonna be 85 this November.

  Beth Turner : [snickering]  Immortality looks pretty good to me.

  Mick St. John : Not from where I'm sitting.

• Josef Kostan : You know, after all these years, I still don't understand you. The bad guy was caught, justice was served, and you're sitting there like someone died.

  Mick St. John : Actually, four people died.

  Josef Kostan : Well, it's collateral damage for a greater good. And Pollock was a danger to all of us, humans and vampires.

  Mick St. John : I could have been like Pollock. If Coraline had let me go after she turned me, if she... she hadn't taught me how to survive as a vampire...

  Josef Kostan : Well, don't tell me you're saying something good about the ex.

  Mick St. John : No.

  Josef Kostan : But you're still thinking about her. I want to tell you something I've learned in my four hundred years. Two Buddhist monks are walking down a road, and they see a woman trying to cross a stream. The first monk picks her up, carries her across, she says thanks, and they go their separate ways. But the second monk is spitting mad; after a couple more miles, the second monk speaks up, tells the first monk "You violated the rules of our order when you carried that woman across the stream." And the first monk replied "I may have carried her across that stream, but you've been carrying her ever since."

  Mick St. John : I have?

  Josef Kostan : You stop carrying Coraline around, Mick. If you can't change the past, then you can't let it stop you from going forward.

• Mick St. John : You want to know how I became a vampire.

  Beth Turner : Yes.

  Mick St. John : Okay. I told you I was married, right?

  Beth Turner : Uh-huh.

  Mick St. John : Well, she was a vampire. I didn't know. And on our wedding night, she turned me.

  [he laughs sardonically] 

  Mick St. John : I went to bed a happily married man and I woke up a monster.

  Beth Turner : You're not a monster.

  Mick St. John : Believe me, I was.

  Beth Turner : You must find it hard to trust anyone now.

  Mick St. John : You asked me if I trusted you. You're the first human that I've told any of this to. About who I am and what I am. So, yeah, I trust you.

• Beth Turner : You're a private investigator. You don't have any contacts in the department?

  Mick St. John : It takes time to develop a contact. Years. People age, I don't. Cops, especially, tend to pick up on those kind of details. It kind of makes long-term relationships with humans difficult.

• Beth Turner : [timidly]  So, do you... bite people's necks and... suck the blood out?

  Mick St. John : Actually, I get most of my blood from the blood bank.

  Beth Turner : [stunned]  Oh.

  [primly] 

  Beth Turner : The Red Cross does not mention that in their literature.

  Mick St. John : I don't think they know.

• Mick St. John : And "wait in the car" means...?

  Beth Turner : Yeah, 'cause that worked out so well last time!

• Beth Turner : So how long can you stay outside? How much sun is too much?

  Mick St. John : Any is too much.

  Beth Turner : You're a delicate flower Mick St.John.
