"If one or two or three or four of them go missing, the flock grazes on." "Survival? Since when has survival had nothing to do with murder?" "Murder is what mankind and your kind do best." "Can you look me in the eyes and tell me that you've never killed anyone?" "How about it, saint? Yes or no." "My point exactly. Those that kill survive." "The soldier that kills the other soldier first lives." "The nation that kills the most enemies wins the war." "It's the natural order of life." "You are a predator, I respect that. I envy you." "I meant no offence. I have respect for you. I just meant that ––" "Oh, yes. The predator needs the prey more than the prey needs the predator." "Survival instincts will transform them into killers." "The natural order. I see." "I know your kind. I know you could do it." "It would be easy, but I'm not like the others." "I respect you, I admire you." "If I had that power, I'd soak in the blood of the weak too." "Liar." "I can see it in your eyes, smell it on your breath. You're a predator at heart." "And even if you deny that, even if you swear you left your halo in a taxi, you exist to kill others and I respect you for that." "I envy you." "I'm weaker than you, I'm no match for you." "I serve your kind because of my weakness; my addiction to your blood." "And I aspire to be like you, to think like you, to be on the other side of this conversation." "Of course your power far surpasses my own. I bow to that." "I understand my place in the natural order. How can I serve you?" "More? You're quite the glutton. The city's veins are about to dry up." "Today, I slit my wrist over a plastic salad bowl and spurted a few jets of the stuff until the bowl felt about right for two more bags." "All just to fill your order. I hope you enjoy it."

“This person, are they really the tyrant they’re made out to be?” “Does he have the iron fist of rumour and does the blood of the people really ooze from it?” “They have lost many battles and more leaders.” “Their rebellion has already failed in the eyes of many.” “Do you feel that their notions of freedom have any real possibility?” “They’ve tried to hold onto this city like it was an ocean. But it continually seeped from their fingers as more and more of them are eaten by sharks.” “Do you really believe that they can keep the predators away forever?” “No, I cannot understand.” “No matter how dire the situation, our blood and theirs cannot be reconciled.” “The blood of each can never reconcile, only boil as they meet the other.” “You could run, but do you really think you could escape your reputation?” “I know little about you, except the rumours that you’ve killed ___ and betrayed your own kind.” “Rabbits also flee, but sooner or later their fate is a wolf’s jaw.” “The wolves have your scent. You’re coated in blood.” “But what of them? Don’t you worry about ___’s vision for this city precludes them?” “Their ways of life seem incompatible.” “I once thought they could provide stability for our kind.” “But certain types in this world have quashed such hopes.” “Perhaps, if he could be deposed, I would regain my faith.” “If they managed to recapture this city, it would not be long before someone challenged them for it.” “Conflict is always an eventuality in their life.” “Could you spend an eternity this way?” “Very well, if that is the destination you chose.” “If I do so, the blood you cary will doom you.” “An outsider forever in one society, a traitor to your own.” “You have been accused. If you were to run this reputation would travel with you until your final night.” “Your only recourse is to clear this charge or smite the conspirators working against your good name.” “You could run, rabbit, or you can become a wolf yourself and tear the throats from the heads of the other packs.” “This is the path of legends and pariahs.” “I have walked before with those who have tried to cast off their struggles.” “Their reasons were many, but their paths always ended in the same place. Emptiness.” “I’m just a driver. I can’t you anywhere unless you tell me where to go.” “If you must.” “When they are destroyed, this city will become chaos.” “With no heads, you can walk past this beast and into a legend.” “But you may never know peace.” “The lives of legends are the prey of the ambitious.” “Then I will drop you off in Chinatown. Your legend can grow there.” “We are here.” “They make many enemies all the time. It will not be long before someone challenges them for this city.” “Is by this sign the best place to stand?” “The knives of every person will try to make their home in his back. Do you really want to stand behind him?” “The spirit exists within the blood of many.” “Few though are willing to listen to it.” “Perhaps if a few did, they would not have lost so much.” “They’ve lost less than is thought.” “I hear there is one left who may be able to revitalise the movement, maybe though it is just a rumour.” “I have heard he’s unpopular with the people.” “Did you know a leader can’t be put in power without the city’s backing?” “If there was one that wanted him removed, perhaps it could be made so.” “I can drop you off downtown if you wish.” “If he’s not a man of action, insurrection is not looked upon lightly.” “I will take you to this representative iff you’ve made up your mind to secure a future with them.” “Very well, I will take this cab to Chinatown, but when you leave it realise that you leave our society forever.”

“Uh, hi.” “I missed you. Did you miss me?” “You think I’m... really?” “Uhm, my boyfriend will be back any minute.” “Come here. I wanna whisper something in your ear –– FUCK OFF!” “You are so not my type.” “I just remembered I’m gay.” “I just remembered I’m not gay.” “If you were the last person on earth, I’d reconsider my views on ___.” “Even if my pants were on fire, I would not take them off in front of you.” “Not in this lifetime.” “There you are.” “I was beginning to think you’d ditched me.” “Oh god, get away from me.” “So, who are you?” “I’ve never seen you in here before.” “Are you undressing me with your eyes?” “Got a picture in your head?” “Good. That’s as close as you’re gonna come to seeing me naked.” “I like strong, handsome, charming men. Let me know if you find one.” “I don’t usually flirt with girls unless they’re really cute.” “Let me know if you find one.” “I stopped dating guys who live in their parents basement in high school.” “Get lost, loser.” “I’m sorry, I like men. A lot.” “Let me get my coat.” “I left it with a guy who will be getting some off me tonight.” “Oh my gosh, you’re serious?” “I’ll tell you what. If the Pope, the president and my high school history teacher all show up in the next few minutes, I’ll make out with you right in front of them.”

"You next up for the needle, hmm?" "Your donation could save a life, you know." "Oh, isn't it a little late for altruism?" "I don't think you're here to give blood at all." "I don't buy it." "I bet you're here to take blood. Am I right?" "They all come in here with that same nonchalant look, with that 'who me?' stare as if they were so clever." "Do you think that you're the first vampire to come in here and try to buy blood? Honestly." "Fine. If you don't want any, deny it." "Deny that you wouldn't put the lukewarm bag to your lips and slurp out the copper smelling sauce like a swarm of mosquitos on a haemophiliac's back." "Right down to business." "None of this pretend 'I don't drink blood' shit." "Very refreshing to find a decisive customer. I respect that." "So, what will it be?" "If you have to ask..." "I can accomodate a refined pallet." "Why'd you have to go and let that bitch out?" "There's one less ___ in the world now." "Why'd you have to let her go and eat him, huh?" "Now I'll never get to do in that bastard myself!" "Well, you know what? No blood for you. No more." "Fair? How Fair?" "Fair enough. Need anything right now?" "Fair is double that." "Mistakes are made from time to time. Without them, some of us might never've been born." "I don't know what I'm saying half the time." "Have a freebie, my compliments. You need more?" "Right. A transaction. Green for red. Interested?" "That's interesting. A missed opportunity." "Guns make people cocky. They never appreciate what a skilled hand married to a knife can do." "All you have to do is get close enough to cut off the trigger finger... or their face."

“The sarcophagus? Strange how people all over the city seem to fear its presence.” “Have you seen what’s inside?” “Hasn’t it become apparent to you what’s inside?” “If all the plans hinge on the contents of the sarcophagus, what would you do if there was nothing inside?” “Perhaps all the people in the city fear it for good reason.” “I know where you might find them. But you’d have to be ready to commit to their fight for this city.” “I could just as easily take you downtown to see them.” “I can take you to them where you can brave the tempest of their cause.” “I could just as easily take you downtown where you can sail smooth.” “I will drop you off downtown if you’ve made your decision.” “It is a shame that the experiment must come to an end.” “I suppose that the first cities also did not last forever.” “Do you really think that you can survive on your own?” “It sounds as though you’ve already made a decision to me.” “Your sympathies seem to lie with them.” “Their passion may be their greatest strength or their Achilles heel.” “But imagine if they did hold on to the free state.” “It could inspire others to come together and construct a new world.” “It seems to me you still believe that he will shape this city’s future.” “If you trust your instincts as you would trust the fates of this city’s people to this man, then I will bring you to him.” “Even if many his ambition, perhaps his regime’s the only kind that can persist in these modern times.” “You are still part of them, though there is a hesitation on your part to return.” “You are not the only one who has to suffer him.” “There are others who, if a case was made, would remove him from his perch above a city bloodied by his ambition.” “I’ve met others like you and they’ve always ultimately come down to the same conclusion.” “There is no person or group on this planet they can pledge loyalty to.” “If this is the path you must take, I can take you to where the trail begins.” “It sounds to me as if you’re ready to spurn your own blood and give yourself over to the invaders.” “By what logic you made this decision is not my place to question.” “If you choose to put yourself in this predicament, I will take you there.” “If you share their passion and would share their burden of such a fire, we will go to meet the last person capable of keeping them together.” “... If that is your decision.” “I drive people to their destination. That is who I am.” “Remember, wherever we go, it is the blood of Caine which makes our fate.” “Farewell, vampire.” “I’ll drive. If you figure out where you want to be taken, tell me.” “There is something troubling you?”

“Where to?” “Need a ride?” “Hop in.” “Going somewhere?” “Very well.” “Are you certain? The fee will be steep.” “I only recently made the acquaintance of ___. They intrigue me very much. There are so few like them these nights, I think.” “I only know what I hear from others about the people of this city.” “It sounds as if there are many who seek to sway the people to their side.” “There are many who believe they shift the destiny of the blood.” “The night has not been kind to you.” “The blood courses through me as well.” “There’s no need for masquerade.” “So, you are a friend of ___?” “This blood makes us tenacious and fearless if we will it so.” “But to what purpose? Surely and end will come one night to the struggle.” “Will there be a victor?” “In your voice there is desperation. Certainly there is an exit out of your predicament.” “Where should I drop you off?” “I could take you down town if that is your wish.”

“Something I can help you with?” “I don’t see how that’s any business of yours.” “Goodbye then.” “Please just leave me alone.” “You know who this is and I do hope you we’re still on for tonight.” “Meet me at the agreed upon location across from the bar by the underpass.” “Bring your associate as its a two man job that I am proposing.” “With any luck, the two of you are already on your way and I shall see you soon.” “No, back off! Stay the fuck back! I did nothing to you!” “My work is done.” “I don’t want to but I’ll fight you do the death.” “What the hell do you care?” “I don’t give a damn if you understand.” “Why, so you can pass judgement on me?” “So you can decide if those murderers deserved to be gutted?” “You’ll never know how it feels. Never!” “You think your bullshit rules mean a goddamn thing to me?” “Nothing matters to me!” “My family, my children we butchered by small time criminals just looking to rob a house, steal a car, take whatever.” “No sense to any of it. No plan, no ransom. Just kill them.”
