‘ what do you think of our new hometown? ’

‘ look at all these signs. ’

‘ is that sweat or oil? ’

‘ they’re all missing posters... ’

‘ i don’t think that word means what you think it means. ’

‘ i promise i’ll keep an eye out. ’

‘ you have a generous nature. ’

‘ you must not be from here. ’

‘ i was born here, but haven’t visited in ages. ’

‘ guess i gotta re–earn my local status. ’

‘ nothing captures the light quite like film. ’

‘ we’re a small staff. ’

‘ i’m gonna miss him terribly. ’

‘ turning a movie into a musical reeks of desperation. ’

‘ can i help you? ’

‘ just scoping out your civilian wardrobe. ’

‘ there’s two of you? how fun. ’

‘ we provide security services for all the shops along the boardwalk. ’

‘ you seem to know a lot about comic books. ’

‘ did i stutter? ’

‘ think he’s got what it takes? ’

‘ i say we give him a try. ’

‘ for a second, i thought you said ‘die’. ’

‘ you’ve seen the missing posters. ’

‘ cops don’t care. but we do. ’

‘ you’re joking, right? ’

‘ we don’t joke about vampires. ’

‘ we don’t joke about anything. ’

‘ i think i’ll pass. ’

‘ thirty two people have gone missing. this year. ’

‘ did we come off too strong? ’

‘ i’m looking for the girl who was singing with the band earlier? ’

‘ & i’m looking for a dollar. ’

‘ don’t you wanna see where all the locals go to make out? ’

‘ can i get a minute here, (name)? ’

‘ have you seen all the missing signs, (name)? ’

‘ this town is dangerous. ’

‘ would you tell my little brother he has nothing to be afraid of? ’

‘ see? nothing to worry about. ’

‘ you can handle it, (name)! ’

‘ poor kid’s still adjusting. ’

‘ family, right? ’

‘ you should go take care of your brother. ’

‘ here, give this guy a good home. ’

‘ we gotta poke a hole in my ear! ’

‘ i don’t have any of the stuff i need, okay? ’

‘ then we gotta be resourceful. ’

‘ you don’t give up, do you? ’

‘ i’m just trying to get my ear pierced. ’

‘ i’m willing to take that chance. ’

‘ trade you for that lighter. ’

‘ where would i find a needle? ’

‘ this could go bad. ’

‘ worse comes to worse, i got another ear. ’

‘ that’s not what i meant. ’

‘ you’re bleeding. ’

‘ what? you’re not scared off a little blood, are you? ’

‘ (name), listen to me! go home! ’

‘ it was just a joke! ’

‘ what the hell was that about? ’

‘ smooth move, dumbass. ’

‘ don’t take it personally. ’

‘ she’s just shy. ’

‘ lovely to meet you this fine evening. ’

‘ didn’t catch your name. ’

‘ didn’t tell it to you. ’

‘ i’m all set. ’

‘ don’t want it to close up. ’

‘ look at that. ’

‘ we got a fan! ’

‘ always enjoy meeting our fans. ’

‘ nothing like this town in the summer. ’

‘ breathe, (name). never stop breathing. ’

‘ leave him alone! ’

‘ this place is scary & filled with freaks! ’

‘ need us to walk you home, kid? ’

‘ we were just talking, friend. ’

‘ i am not your friend. ’

‘ are we breaking curfew, old man? ’

‘ those boys are trouble. i’d recommend you stay away from them. ’

‘ i thought we could begin a new routine. ’

‘ we tried it. we experimented with it. we don’t wanna die from it. ’

‘ this town isn’t so bad. ’

‘ you met a girl last night! ’

‘ i am not gonna be at the mercy of your sex glands! ’

‘ the only person allowed to kill you is me. ’

‘ i got along with him just fine. ’

‘ you’re soft, (name)! ’

‘ you have no idea how bad it got! no idea! ’

‘ sometimes you sound just like him. ’

‘ go easy on him. it’s a lot on a kid. ’

‘ so much for breakfast. ’

‘ how was your first day? ’

‘ it’s not a date. ’

‘ nothing wrong with a tour. ’

‘ thought if i found the most beautiful view in town, i might find the most beautiful girl. ’

‘ i followed you. ’

‘ stay away from him, okay? ’

‘ you seemed to get along with him well enough. ’

‘ it’s always the lead singer, isn’t it? ’

‘ i like how it’s quiet. ’

‘ i wouldn’t wish my family on anyone. ’

‘ ah, young love. nothing sweeter. ’

‘ (name) can make his own decisions. ’

‘ look, i don’t wanna get in the middle of anything. ’

‘ you could never come between us, (name). ’

‘ what exactly’s going on here? ’

‘ last chance, (name). ’

‘ ride away. ’

‘ you trying to kill me?! ’

‘ we just wanted to see if you could fly. ’

‘ oh, i like you, (name). ’

‘ that’s not how it works. ’

‘ you think i give a shit? ’

‘ there’s no need for fighting. ’

‘ how would you like to see our home? ’

‘ how far are you willing to go, (name)? ’

‘ you don’t belong here. ’

‘ some folks say it’s haunted, but we call it home. ’

‘ what about your parents? ’

‘ what are parents?! ’

‘ we have each other. ’

‘ you know what that’s like. ’

‘ this isn’t about me. it’s about (name). ’

‘ he’s trying to start a new life here. ’

‘ he’s barely had a chance! ’

‘ a chance is what i’m giving him. ’

‘ we’d all be a family. ’

‘ i want you to be happy, (name). ’

‘ all you have to do is let go! ’

‘ let go, (name). ’

‘ he looks dead. ’

‘ it’s just a walk! ’

‘ hand me my sunglasses. ’

‘ bite me. ’

‘ he can take care of himself. ’

‘ i was gonna hang out with my friends tonight. ’

‘ you have friends now? ’

‘ there’s leftovers in the fridge. ’

‘ thanks for ruining my night, (name)! ’

‘ let me guess; vampires? ’

‘ read it or die, man! ’

‘ this should be good. ’

‘ think you can just walk out on me? ’

‘ it was an accident. ’

‘ you stay the hell away from her! ’

‘ you crying now? jesus christ, you’re soft! ’

‘ i’m done staying down! ’

‘ let me in! ’

‘ you attacked me! twice! ’

‘ you are so grounded! ’

‘ don’t tell mom! ’

‘ kill your brother. ’

‘ we’ll do it for you! ’

‘ it was our favorite spot. ’

‘ it all looks a little tetanusy. ’

‘ i was a hippie. ’

‘ i don’t wanna bore you. ’

‘ we’ve been waiting for you. ’

‘ i can teach you. ’

‘ what did you do to me? ’

‘ this gift. it heals all wounds. ’

‘ we’re not looking for any trouble. ’

‘ we’re just... hungry. ’

‘ you’ll never grow old, (name), & you’ll never die. ’

‘ but you must feed. ’

‘ he’s suffering, (name)! end it! ’

‘ you can’t fight it forever. ’

‘ i’m giving you a way out of all of that. ’

‘ take it. please. ’

‘ your time is running out. ’

‘ these here are the possible suspects. ’

‘ there are still laws against murder! ’

‘ i’m not coming in until you invite me. ’

‘ aren’t crosses supposed to burn? ’

‘ ah, you’re a budding clemenza! ’

‘ does it burn, bitch?! ’

‘ that’s not salt, that’s my dad! ’

‘ roger that. ’

‘ i just wanted to get to know you. ’

‘ you’re damn right we need to talk. ’

‘ this town is crawling with vampires! ’

‘ was this your plan all along? ’

‘ i didn’t want this to happen. ’

‘ you told me to drink! ’

‘ his blood is in your veins! ’

‘ i wish we had never met. ’

‘ i’m tired. i’m heading to bed. ’

‘ he’s the only brother i got. ’

‘ you got an eye for a lot of things. ’

‘ quick! get into the sunlight! ’

‘ i gave you everything! ’

‘ when the sun sets, they’re gonna come for us. ’

‘ i’m sorry, who are you guys?! ’

‘ push! ’

‘ i’m going up to the roof to get a better look. ’

‘ you held your own against a vampire. ’

‘ you could never be like dad. ’

‘ take your friends & go upstairs. ’

‘ afraid to show your face, (name)?! ’

‘ come out & face me, you coward! ’

‘ join us. ’

‘ you’re alone now, (name)! it’s just you! ’

‘ you don’t have it in you. you never did. ’

‘ i tried to make you immortal. ’

‘ you tried to make me a killer! ’

‘ you belong to me. ’

‘ my blood is in your veins. ’

‘ but we killed the head vampire! ’

‘ forgive me, (name). ’

‘ you’re scaring me. ’

‘ never invite a vampire into your home, (name), it renders you powerless. ’

‘ i didn’t invite you in this time, (name). ’

‘ i can raise my kids on my own, asshole! ’

‘ you saved us. ’

‘ & i shot a crossbow. ’
