SEASON ONE :

❛ You weren’t answering you’re phone! Why do you have a bat?! ❜ ❛ I thought you were a predator! ❜ ❛ We’re actually doing this? ❜ ❛ You’re the one always bitching that nothing happens in this town! ❜ ❛ I was trying to get a good nights sleep before practice tomorrow. ❜ ❛ Everyone should have a dream, even a pathetically unrealistic one. ❜ ❛ Just out of curiosity, which half of the body are we looking for? ❜ ❛ Huh, I didn’t even think about that. ❜ ❛ And, uh, what if whoever killed the body is still out here? ❜ ❛ Also something I didn’t think about. ❜ ❛ Okay, let’s see this thing. ❜ ❛ It was too dark to see much, but I’m pretty sure it was a wolf. ❜ ❛ A wolf bit you? ❜ ❛ I heard a wolf howling. ❜ ❛ What do you mean “No, I didn’t?” ❜ ❛ How do you know what I heard? ❜ ❛ Because California doesn’t have wolves, okay? ❜ ❛ I’m a nerd by association. I’ve been Scarlet-Nerded by you. ❜ ❛ It was like I had all the time in the world to catch the ball. ❜ ❛ I can hear stuff I shouldn’t be able to hear. Smell things. ❜ ❛ Smell things? Like what? ❜ ❛ So, all this started with the bite? ❜ ❛ What if it’s like, an infection? ❜ ❛ Like my body flooding with adrenaline before I go into shock or something? ❜ ❛ You know what? I actually think I’ve heard of this. ❜ ❛ Hey, you’re the one who heard a wolf howling. ❜ ❛ Hey, there could be something seriously wrong with me! ❜ ❛ You’ve been given something that most people would kill for. ❜ ❛ Where are you getting your juice? ❜ ❛ So, you killed her? ❜ ❛ Maybe it was my blood on the door? ❜ ❛ I’ve never had a dream where I woke up like that before. ❜ ❛ You know, maybe you caught a rabbit or something. ❜ ❛ Maybe you should stop pretending to suck just for his benefit. ❜ ❛ Trust me, I do plenty of sucking just for his benefit. ❜ ❛ Do you wanna hang out, like us and them? ❜ ❛ You know what else sounds fun? Stabbing myself in the face with this fork. ❜ ❛ Once my heart starts beating again, yeah. ❜ ❛ Start the car, or I’m gonna rip your throat out. With my teeth. ❜ ❛ It was a different kind of bullet. ❜ ❛ What am I supposed to do with him? ❜ ❛ You faint at the sight of blood? ❜ ❛ This house is like the frickin’ Wal-Mart of guns. ❜ ❛ I don’t know whether to kill it or lick it. ❜ ❛ You wanna do homework? Or you wanna not die? ❜ ❛ We don’t go out in the middle of the night murdering people, do we? ❜

SEASON TWO :

❛ Please let him go, and I’ll do– I’ll do whatever you want! Okay? ❜ ❛ I swear. I won’t- I won’t see him again. I promise, never again! ❜ ❛ I’ve got a missing teenage girl, and our K-9 unit led us here. ❜ ❛ I’m sorry, I - I didn’t see anything. ❜ ❛ Trust me, if he saw a naked girl outside a computer screen, he’d remember. ❜ ❛ School fight? ❜ ❛ Oh, no, sorry. I was just remembering, I actually have a morning practice to get to. ❜ ❛ Just one more question. You guys get many grave robberies here? ❜ ❛ Usually, they just take stuff like jewelry. ❜ ❛ Okay, nothing else? Seriously? ❜ ❛ I just said it was missing. ❜ ❛ And you know what? Even if she did, so what? ❜ ❛ It’s the most nutritious part of the body. ❜ ❛ You’re the test case for this, so we should be going over what happened to you. ❜ ❛ I mean like what was going through your mind when you were turning, you know?  ❜ ❛ Here’s a dollar. Go find another parking lot to die in.  ❜ ❛ Now, I don’t want the same thing happening to some innocent girl. ❜ ❛ So, police are organizing search parties for tonight. ❜ ❛ Sign up, find the missing girl, you get an automatic A in my class. ❜ ❛ Because we have a pretty good idea that she might be… you know, turning. ❜ ❛ A unicorn. What do you think, dumbass? ❜ ❛ What do you think she’s gonna do with a set of real claws? ❜ ❛ Hey, you know, maybe they’re just here for the funeral? ❜ ❛ I mean - what if they’re the non-hunting side of the family? ❜ ❛ You wouldn’t be lying to me, would you, ______? ❜ ❛ You wanna take this little conversation downstairs? No? ❜ ❛ Tell you what, you do the dishes and clean up the kitchen, okay? ❜ ❛ I have my responsibility as a parent. ❜ ❛ You know I’m gonna have to find a way to punish you though. ❜ ❛ Well, that was your fault. ❜ ❛ Shut up! It’s a scratch! It’s hardly even… ❜ ❛ I have beautiful everything. ❜ ❛ You wanna just make out a little bit? Just to see how it feels? ❜ ❛ This new-found heroism is making me very attracted to you. ❜ ❛ What did you see in the mechanic garage? ❜ ❛ Did you notice that I’m paralyzed from the neck down in 8 feet of water! ❜ ❛ Can’t you just trust me this once? ❜ ❛ I’m the one who keeps you alive, okay. Did you notice that? ❜ ❛ Sounds like the beginning of a heartfelt story, but I’m gonna pass.. ❜ ❛ I thought you were psychic, bitch? ❜ ❛ Dude, everyone in here is a dude. I think we’re in a gay club. ❜ ❛ Man, nothing gets past those keen werewolf senses? ❜ ❛ One more question– just one. Are you okay? ❜ ❛ We’re just a bunch of teenagers. We can’t handle this. ❜ ❛ Sarcasm is my only defense. ❜ ❛ I have to ground you. I am grounding you. You are grounded. ❜
