Quotes 

• Annie : [Mitchell allowed Becca to die instead of turning her into a vampire]  Do you think he should have saved her?

  George : I think he did.

• Annie : [Opens front door]  Hello!

  Pizza Delivery Boy : 12 inch Mess of Meats.

  Annie : Oh, thank you.

  Mitchell : Great. Keep the change.

  [Takes pizza] 

  Annie : So, um, how long have you been delivering pizzas?

  Pizza Delivery Boy : Couple of months?

  Annie : And could you ride a moped before or did they teach you?

  Pizza Delivery Boy : They taught us. We had to drive round and round the car park.

  Annie : I bet you hate pizza. I mean, you get home and your girlfriend's like, "What do you want for tea?" and I bet you're like, "Not pizza!"

  Pizza Delivery Boy : I live with my dad.

  Annie : Madness. See ya!

  [Shuts front door] 

  Annie : He could see me.

  Mitchell : He could SO see you.

  Annie : Ahh, it's happening all the time now, and not just with people like you, but with normal people. I was outside putting out the recycling and a van drove past and the guy shouted "Slag!"

  [giggles] 

  Annie : So who wants tea?

  George : Ugh.

  Annie : What?

  George : You keep making tea! Every surface is covered with mugs of tea and coffee. I go to make myself some tea and I can't! There's no mugs, there's no tea, it's all been made! And you can't even drink it! Y-y-you can't drink it; you keep making it! Oh, oh, oh my god, it's driving me INSANE!

  Annie : Oh, well, I like my routine. It makes me feel normal.

  George : But-but-but you're a ghost!

  Annie : Yeah. OK.

• George Sands : [Annie's fiancé from when she was living has come to visit]  What are you doing? We can hear you.

  Annie : I just want to see him. Look, I can sneak down. I can hide.

  George Sands : Are you crazy? He will see you and die of shock.

  [Annie's face lights up] 

  George Sands : Annie, that is not an option.

• Annie : All right, George? What's happening? I thought it was your time of the month.

  Mitchell : It is. He's doing it here.

  Annie : Ugh! I just Hoovered!

  Mitchell : George, what do you need?

  George : Uh, close the curtains, so it can't see the windows. And, uh, put some music on, loud.

  Mitchell : Good idea. We'll say there's a party going on. Annie. Anything you don't want broken, put it in your room.

  Annie : Uh, and what are we supposed to while he's doing his thing?

  Mitchell : Get the hell out.

• [George has learned that Mitchell is the one who turned Lauren into a vampire] 

  George : I manage my condition. I hide in a shitty, bloody cellar or the middle of a forest. But you? You buy a bottle of wine and a packet of condoms! What is the point of us trying to build some kind of normality when you are attacking our friends and turning them into monsters? For Christ's sake! We knew her. You let me go to her bloody memorial!

  Mitchell : How the hell do you think I've survived for the last hundred years? There's no escape from it. I'm not like you, I don't get days off. This is what I am.

• George : [the morning after the full moon]  Oh... no. Where's all our stuff? What did I do?

  Mitchell : We've salvaged what we can, but there's about ten bin bags of crap and wreckage stashed in my bedroom. I'm sensing a trip to IKEA. And you know my feelings about that.

• Mitchell : [Owen leaves after an awkward first meeting with George and Mitchell, in which George said he'd killed a pigeon with a shoe]  How did you do that, stay so calm?

  George : Okay, shut up.

  Mitchell : You're a spy, aren't ya? I mean you've clearly had training, because the way you held it together there, it was chilling.

• George Sands : Other people move in somewhere, they get damp. No. They get woodlice. Why do we get Casper the Friendly Ghost?

  Mitchell : We've been over this. There must be something unresolved about her death. That's what's keeping her here.

  George Sands : It's not fair.

  Mitchell : Exactly. Whatever happened to her wasn't fair.

  George Sands : No. I mean it's unfair her being here. The amount of washing up she generates.

• Annie : Okay, I've written a list of questions for you to ask him.

  Mitchell : [Reading]  "Are you screwing Janey Harris?"

  Annie : She always fancied Owen. Trust me, if she had known when I died she'd have been here before the ambulance crew.

  Mitchell : [Still reading]  Aw. "Has my sister had a baby?".

  Annie : Yeah, 'cause they've been trying for ages. I blame her husband. His name's Robin, he works in the post office.

  George : Oh my god, has everybody taken stupid pills? This is Annie's ex. Annie's ex who buried her.

• George Sands : I'd forgotten what they were like. The others. They're predators. Every inch of them is just hunger and fury. The energy it must take him

  [Mitchel] 

  George Sands : , every minute, not to be like that.

• Owen : [George returns downstairs after talking to Annie]  What was it?

  George : What? Oh, um, it was, it was a pigeon.

  Owen : A pigeon?

  George : Must have left a window open.

  Owen : Well have you got rid of it?

  George : I killed it.

  Mitchell : [Mitchell almost spits out his drink, and gives George a horrified look]  You... you killed it?

  George : [Nervously]  With a shoe.
