Quotes 

• George : He doesn't understand. These people are British. You're not allowed to talk to your neighbors until you've nodded at them for fifteen years.

• Annie : Maybe he's had a blow to the head.

  George : I'm sorry?

  Annie : Happened to my Nan. She got hit in the head by a radio-controlled plane at a county fair. From that moment - obsessed with pygmy goats.

  George : There wasn't a single bit of that sentence I understood.

• George : My name is George and I'm a werewolf.

  Mitchell : Hello, George.

• Mitchell : Where're you sleeping tonight?

  Tully : In the arms of Mother Nature, as always.

  George : Is just saying "outside" really that hard?

• Mitchell : So Carol from number twelve is gonna lend us Casablanca.

  George : Why?

  Mitchell : I'm only in it!

  Annie : Get out!

  Mitchell : Yeah. I'm just an extra. In the bar. And you can't actually see me, obviously. But I do knock over a chair at one point and you can see that.

  Annie : You in Casablanca. How did you swing that?

  Mitchell : I know people. I move and shake.

• George : This isn't a gift. It's God stamping on us with his boot.

• Annie : You changed your tune. You love old movies.

  George : Hey, George is as George does.

  Mitchell : Did you really just say that? Did you actually say those words?

  Annie : Oh my god. You're Tully's Mini-Me.

• Mitchell : Vampires film themselves making a kill and then they pass it on.

  Annie : So, what, it's like porn?

  Mitchell : In a way.

  George : Why do they do it?

  Mitchell : Same reason anyone does porn.

  George : You mean that's supposed to be sexy?

  Mitchell : For some. But this is different. This is... personal. It's to remind me of what I did to her.

• George : What's going on?

  Mitchell : Tully's leaving.

  George : What? Why?

  Tully : I wish I could tell you, mate.

  Mitchell : OK, I know it was my suggestion but it was only gonna be for a day or so and instead it's been weeks, so I think now's the time...

  Annie : He's creepy. And he frightened me.

  Mitchell : Yeah. I-I was building to that.

  George : Creepy? You're dead.

  Mitchell : Look. He stinks out the bathroom, he eats all the food.

  George : Oh, that's nice. That's generosity.

  Mitchell : He's upset Annie, he's pissing off the neighbours, he's... He's a twat!

  George : Well, he's *my* twat!

  Mitchell : I expect that sounded better in your head.

• Mitchell : What's more suspicious-three shadowy, secretive people who never come out, never talk to anyone. Or three friendly, welcoming guys. Always nice and chatty. Their door's always open.

  George : I don't mean just risky for us.

  Mitchell : We should hide in plain sight. Stop being ashamed. Invite the world in.

• Mitchell : It's good we're doing this. Especially now. Throwing the doors open like this... sends a message.

  George : What do you mean, "especially now"?

  Mitchell : [Backtracking]  Nothing. It, ah, came out wrong.

  George : And sends a message to who? There's something you're not telling us.

  Mitchell : Like what? What?

  George : A few weeks ago, Tully was in London and got attacked by some vampires.

  Mitchell : Vampires are arsholes. This is hardly news.

  George : Yes. But Tully says it's happening more and more. Like suddenly they've stopped hiding. But it's the things they're saying now, about time. How their time is coming.

  Mitchell : Vampires have been saying their time is coming since the Crusades. Every now and then someone along, they get everyone all excited. It never comes to anything.

  Annie : What, so something has been happening?

  Mitchell : It's nothing! Can we- ? It's nothing. I promise you. I need a wee.

  [He walks out] 

  George : Well. I feel totally reassured.

• Mitchell : [Mitchell and George are arguing about Tully staying in their house]  Look, he stinks up the bathroom, he eats all the food.

  George : Oh that's nice, that's generosity.

  Mitchell : He's upset Annie! He's pissing off the neighbors. He's... he's a twat!

  George : Well he's my twat.

  Mitchell : I, expect that sounded better in your head.

  George : I mean, he's my friend.

  Mitchell : So what the hell are we?

  George : I don't know Mitchell, I really don't.

  Tully : [Tully moves to get up]  Look, I don't want to cause any trouble guys. Maybe I should just...

  George : Stay where you are!

  [Tully sits back down while George and Mitchell continue] 

  George : Why haven't you helped me? Why is it Tully who's showing me how to manage my condition?

  Mitchell : You can barely admit you have a condition.

  George : [raising his voice]  Why is it Tully, who's showing me how to talk to women?

  Mitchell : Showing you how to talk to women? What are you twelve?

  George : Do you know the difference between you and him?

  Mitchell : Hm, I don't know, I don't have to shave my palms.

• Mitchell : Oh George, you know the isolation room you were using to transform in?

  George : Yeah, the're using it as a site office for the building work.

  Mitchell : Health and Safety said it's unsuitable. It's too remote and there's no windows. The site officer kept bursting into tears every time he went down there.

• George : You are not meeting my friends.

  Tully : I am house-trained, you know.

• Mitchell : Oh George, you know the isolation room you were using to transform in?

  George : Yeah, they're using it as a site office for the building work.

  Mitchell : Health and Safety said it's unsuitable. It's too remote and there's no windows. The site officer kept bursting into tears every time he went down there.
