“When you're dead, you must often make choices that humans would never dream of having to face.”
“Oh, wait, you care about me?”
“Everything is all about money and status with you.”
“[Name], darling, are you okay?”
“I am at your leisure. Whatever you need.”
“Don't trust anyone, really.”
“I can control myself just fine.”
“I'm sorry, did I walk into after-school? What is going on?”
“Or you could hide in a sewer.”
“Well, that sounds like an us problem. Again.”
“[Name], are you armed?” – “Always.”
“I mean, 'own' is a real loose term for a Millennial, but yeah, I've got an apartment.”
“Oh, am I boring you?” – “Uh, often.”
“There are certain conversations that I can't discuss with you.”
“Knowledge is power. Money is more power, but knowledge is power.”
“I do need you to understand something. If we show any weakness whatsoever here, we will be destroyed. Okay? Good meeting.”
“I don't wait in lines, darling.”
“I don't indulge when on business. Maybe later.”
“What do you want? We have almost anything here.”
“Do you like to party? Partake in narcotics?”
“You seem to drink deeply from all the cups of life.”
“Hope you're not doing anything important at the moment.”
“It would be my pleasure to take away the emptiness inside you.”
“[Name], um, you're okay with this?”
“Why did you decide this? Why do you want this?”
“An opportunity presented itself to expand my business and I took it.”
“Darling, we made a promise long ago that we would... protect each other's backs. You know that's hard to come by these days.”
“You don't seem to fit in with them.”
“I'm not some disaffected middle-aged banker that you're going to woo with your beautiful eyes and fabulous presentation here.”
“I'm trying to figure out how we can be friends.”
“You are obviously very distracted. Perhaps you should go relax a bit and then we can talk.”
“I would like to talk to you. I feel like you're a bit lost.”
“I do not know why you are so accusatory. I've done nothing but be hospitable.”
“This is a place of decadence. It's a place for you to be safe. One place in a very big city that you can relax.”
“If I ever catch you again with another one, I will hurt you. Understood?”
“You must take control of your fears. Sometimes indulging in them until you can understand them.”
“You should have patience with yourself.”
“I might have answers. But you need to ask your questions first.”
“Is this- Is this a cult?”
“Have you ever loved somebody? Like, really loved somebody?”
“It can tear you apart... or you learn to live with it.”
“All of this... decadence. The drugs and the alcohol and the sex. Does that help you?”
“The night doesn't have to be so dark and terrible. ”
“It's supposed to be meaningless, but...”
“What's wrong with emotion?”
“First, I don't have to explain anything to you.”
“I don't know how this ugly rumor keeps spreading about me.”
“I personally love hanging out with criminals. They're very tasty.”
“Directness has never been a problem for me.”
“Sometimes learning the hard way is the best way.”
“I should explain. I don't do loyalty. I do my job.”
“You took everything from me. Everything! And you think that I'm just gonna let it slide?”
“You're, uh, you're pretty strong.” – “That's right, I fucking am.”
“Look, look! It doesn't have to go this way. We can deal.”
“Humor me, and pretend I'm an idiot.”
“I wouldn't- I wouldn't do that to you. I couldn't. I couldn't do that to you.”
“If you want to kill [x], you can kill [x].”
“My doors are always open to you.”
“The taste of fear has no equal. It's electric. That frisson of terror...”
“There is a war coming, I can feel it.”
“What do you think about a double date?”
“I'm so proud of you! That was awesome.”
“That was probably the worst moment of my life.”
“Just remember, decisiveness is power.”
“It's almost impossible, but I guess here almost anything is possible.”
“Is there a vampire therapist? Relationship counselors?”
“I don't want death and violence to become second nature or natural. It's- It's wrong.”
“You don't have to be me, but you have to be a different you.”
“It shall be as you wish.”
“You're done, you're finished, you're over.”
“What is your problem, bro?”
“We know where you live.”
“This is boring and I hate your attitude.”
“Just kill me. Just get it done.”
“Just listen to you! You deserve to die!”
“Shut up, the adults are talking.”
“To be fair, we are kind of monsters.”
“Jesus fuck, [name]! Just right when I think, maybe you're starting to understand the predicament you find yourself in...”
“The next time you put hands on me in public, I will fucking execute you.”
