Quotes
-
Sheriff Eben Oleson : Hell of a day.
The Stranger : Just you wait.
-
Deputy Billy Kitka : You know, Beau's not so bad. Why'd you bother writing him up?
Sheriff Eben Oleson : He lives all alone out there on the south ridge. A little citation now and then lets him know he's a part of this town.
-
Sheriff Eben Oleson : Stop the truck.
Stella Oleson : What?
Sheriff Eben Oleson : Stop the fucking truck!
[Stella stops and they get out]
Sheriff Eben Oleson : I thought I saw something.
[Stella looks through binoculars]
Stella Oleson : Get in the truck.
Sheriff Eben Oleson : What?
Stella Oleson : Get in the fucking truck!
-
Stella Oleson : I should have fought harder, kept Wilson here.
Sheriff Eben Oleson : It's hard to stop someone when their family's at stake. The things you'll do to save your own.
Stella Oleson : We were like that once... weren't we?
-
Sheriff Eben Oleson : [upon finding Beau working on his truck] Got a problem?
Beau Brower : Nothing I can't handle my own fucking self.
[Eben sees oil leaking from his truck]
Sheriff Eben Oleson : This for generators?
Beau Brower : Yeah. Yeah, mostly.
Sheriff Eben Oleson : Well, Beau, I'm going to have to cite you for it. I can't have it leaking all over the street.
Beau Brower : What? For that? You don't... you don't have to cite me. You don't have to do anything. Isn't that why we live out here? You know, for a little freedom?
Sheriff Eben Oleson : [handing Beau the citation] Happy motoring.
-
Sheriff Eben Oleson : They're burning down the town.
Denise : Nobody will know what happened. They'll just think it was some horrible accident.
Lucy Ikos : Next time they'll take out Point Hope, Wainwright.
-
The Stranger : Mr. and Mrs. Sheriff. So sweet. So helpless against what is coming.
Stella Oleson : He's just trying to freak us out.
Jake Oleson : It's working.
Sheriff Eben Oleson : We have more important things to think about. I'll check on Gus.
The Stranger : Check on Gus. Board the windows. Try to hide. They're coming. This time they're gonna take me with them... honor me. Yeah. For all that I have done.
Sheriff Eben Oleson : They? Who are they?
-
The Stranger : No whiskey. No rum.
Lucy Ikos : Alcohol's illegal this month. Folks have hard enough time in the dark without booze making it worse.
The Stranger : Well forget about... the liquor, Lucy. Just bring me a bowl of raw hamburger.
Lucy Ikos : You can only get meat two ways around here - frozen or burned.
[the Stranger grabs Lucy's hand]
The Stranger : You don't bring me what I want to eat. What I want to drink.
Sheriff Eben Oleson : That's enough, pal. Leave the lady be.
[the Stranger releases Lucy, and Eben sits down next to him at the counter]
Sheriff Eben Oleson : Hey, what do you say the two of us go outside and have a little talk, huh?
The Stranger : Now what's wrong with a man who wants a little fresh meat?
Sheriff Eben Oleson : Come on. You and me. Let's go. I'm taking you outside.
[the Stranger suddenly gets up and faces him]
The Stranger : I would like to see that.
-
Deputy Billy Kitka : [overlooking the final sunset] I brought Peggy here on our first date.
Sheriff Eben Oleson : Yeah, we all did.
[Billy turns and looks at Eben]
Sheriff Eben Oleson : Not Peggy, of course.
-
Sheriff Eben Oleson : [yelling to distract the vampires] Come on, motherfuckers!
-
[last lines]
Stella Oleson : What did you do to yourself?
Sheriff Eben Oleson : What I had to. Should I go after them?
[Stella shakes her head]
Sheriff Eben Oleson : It's almost dawn. We made it.
Stella Oleson : Eben... the dawn...
-
Sheriff Eben Oleson : [upon seeing pictures of Carter's family] Can't your wife bring you up a sweater or two? Or bring the whole tribe up while she's at it?
Carter Davies : They'll come when they're ready, I guess.
-
Sheriff Eben Oleson : We'll sleep in shifts. We'll ration our food, and then we'll figure out the next step. We have two advantages - we know this town, and we know the cold. We live here for a reason: because nobody else can.
-
Sheriff Eben Oleson : [to the Stranger] Let me tell you what I got. You don't work at the refinery. You didn't fly in; somebody'd seen you. And you're definitely not from around here. How'd you get in?
[the Stranger remains silent]
Sheriff Eben Oleson : All right. Well, we got a long time to figure this out. Nobody's coming for you for a month.
[the Stranger smiles]
-
The Stranger : They didn't take me.
Sheriff Eben Oleson : Who did they take?
The Stranger : [upset] They didn't take me!
-
Sheriff Eben Oleson : All right, time to talk. Who are you here with? Who are you here with?
[the Stranger whimpers in pain]
Sheriff Eben Oleson : Who did that to Gus?
The Stranger : You're a dead man.
Sheriff Eben Oleson : Where are they?
The Stranger : [while foaming at the mouth] I don't talk to dead men. I don't talk to dead men!
Sheriff Eben Oleson : Well, if I'm dead no one lets you loose from here.
The Stranger : You're all dead!
-
[first lines]
Sheriff Eben Oleson : Strange.
-
Sheriff Eben Oleson : I can smell your blood.
-
Sheriff Eben Oleson : Yeah, it worked. But they're gonna cut off the power, so...
[the power suddenly goes out]
-
[upon finding a bag of pot at the sheriff's station]
Sheriff Eben Oleson : What the hell is that?
Jake Oleson : It's pot. It helps her with her cancer.
Helen Munson : Didn't tell you I got a little greenhouse at home. Didn't want you arresting me.
Sheriff Eben Oleson : Now I know why you wanted to go live with grandma.
