"He bit me and got power over me. And then he asked me if I did have a treatment that would make him human again."

"It should work in theory. But I have not tried it."
"I am willing to be your guinea pig"
"You may be taking a risk"
"I am taking a big risk now if I stay as I am. There is going to be a big clash here quite soon. And I know that when the big fish fight, the little fish like me end up paying the price. I want to be out of it when it happens."

"I gave him the shot and he told me of his life. It was not an edifying one. He was a criminal after all - but who was I to condemn him? – he had made several bad decisions and they had all come crashing down on him… he thought that he had a chance to walk away from the consequences and he took it."
"None of it made the show"
"Because the writers knew only one way to write about vampires. It was enough that they were forced to tell Amos' story. But to tell the story of each vampire… or to think that they all had their stories was too much to ask. The preferred to show the fangs… even the actor complained about the fangs…"
"They interfered with his speech and he'd rather say dramatic lines."
"Who wouldn't?"
"And in the meantime, Amos kept hunting for Owen Raft, except that after that first shot his hunger went down and I helped him find a place to hide. So, for a couple of days there were no violent attacks. He fed the minimum as his body returned to normal. But there was another attack… that he had nothing to do with."

I regretted having Beverly run the business – even if I thought I had no inclinations for it. So somehow, I slipped into Mother's role. I became a petty tyrant for lack of anything better. Also, I was unhappy about Louis going on his own. We used to be close real pals always plotting together – and now he was too busy…So..."

"So, this is your girlfriend?" Dinah looked at Irina. "Not bad looking, but still a bit vulgar. I imagine she goes in through the servants' entrance and I thank you for it."
Louis looked embarrassed but Irina's eyes flashed. The servants' entrance – same as it was then. No matter how long ago it was, she was not good enough to be received at Benchley Mansion.
"Servant' entrance." She faced Dinah her eyes flashing. "I am the mistress here. And you better remember it."
She attacked Dinah savagely, tearing big holes drinking more than it was safe then she let her go.
"You might live or you might not. In either case I will be your mistress."
