Episode Quotes
Mick: (voiceover) Somewhere in the city, a killer is on the loose. Josef wants me to hunt him to keep our secret safe. I just want to make sure he doesn't do it again. You don't have to be a vampire to get a taste for blood.

Josef: Would you care for a liquid refreshment?
Mick: No thank you.
(a woman walks in and offers her arm to Josef)
Josef: You sure? She's delicious. 82' was a good year.
Mick: We went to the Super Bowl in 82' right? Lost a million bucks on Cincinnati that year right?
Josef: Except for that.

Journalist: So, you sleep in a coffin?
Mick: No, that's a old wives tale, I sleep in a freezer! And while we're on the subject: garlic is tasty on pizza.
Journalist: Does it repel you?
Mick: It repels my dates sometimes! Toss holy water on me, I get wet. Crucifixes, okay, if you like that kind of thing. Oh, and I definitely can't turn into a bat. That'd be cool though, wouldn't it?

Mick: (as he holds Beth) Sixty years is a long time to deny yourself the touch of another, but you do it. Because you just can't bear the thought of seeing yourself as a monster in someone else's eyes.

Josef: Have you seen the news? This terrible thing in West Hollywood? It's everywhere. 'Vampire Slaying Rocks LA'.
Mick: Yeah, it doesn't look good for us.
Josef: It's a threat to our secrecy. What is this, the 1720's? We're discreet, we don't leave bodies lying around. Now, we have to be extra vigilant. We live in an era of fingerprint scans, DNA tests, genome mapping....
Mick: Joseph, relax!
Josef: I am relaxed. This is relaxed. You're only 90. You've never been chased by a torch-bearing mob!

Mick: Everyone says they're open-minded, everyone tries to accept people who are different from them. But the truth is, people don't react well when they find out that you're undead. And the other thing you've got to deal with? When you live forever, the past always catches up with you.
