S1It Takes Two to Make a Thing Go Wrong

Is it picture day at school? What's up?

Nothing... is up, ok? You just notice it more because you can't change clothes

S1I See Your True Colors... And That's Why I Hate You

Neil: So, how long has it been, Josh?

Uuh... How long has what been?

NNeil

How long have you thought you were a werewolf?

Did I just-... D-Did you s-say-... (hesitating) Did I just hear you say that you thought that I thought that I was a w- ...?"

It's that shred of humanity that makes us eventually crawl out from under the stairs and show ourselves to you. 'Cause even a monster can be afraid of the darkness.

Does your mom cook with garlic?

I, I don't know. Seriously, is that a, is that a thing?

No.

I guess so. Does it kill you?

No, no it doesn't. It just.. just makes us, us.

Okay, Okay, so stop being you? How? How do we do that?

Uh, Feverfew.

Fev...what? Is that, uh, is that a band?

It's an herb, Josh.

S1Children Shouldn't Play with Undead Things

Did you double-down on antiperspirant. You sweat a lot when you're nervous.

I went through half a Speed Stick.

How's your breath?

I don't have a sense of smell anymore.

I got to be honest, it smells like dog to me. But I'm sure, it's minty fresh.

S1I Want You Back (From the Dead)

Really? Is there more to say? We're both adults. I think we know when something isn't meant to be.

I don't want you to see Reed, or anyone.

Oh, here we go. You know, you're surprisingly Neanderthal for someone so young.

I'm not just some jerk who doesn't want to get close to you Nora, I want to be with you. I wanna be with you! But there's something in my life, that has nothing to do with you, or another women, and I didn't kill anyone...

That's remarkably not reassuring if you have to point that out!

It's weird, right? He and I both died, years apart, and then find each other again in limbo?

You know what? You're a ghost, talking to a werewolf making an egg salad sandwich. I no longer compute what's weird.

(voiceover) It doesn't matter if you're dead, undead or somewhere in between. Because it's you humans, that haunt us. And you won't let us go.

S1Dog Eat Dog

BBishop

[narrating] Immortality is an easy thing to take for granted. You figure, you've got forever, what's a little mistake here and there? But that's the thing about forever, the choices you make, the people you lose, your mistakes are indelible, with no sweet death to erase your memory. You may think the greatest reward of eternal life is the power it gives you. You're untouchable... The power is a perk, something to make your endless passing days more bearable. But to rule the world alone is worthless."

S1Going Dutch

[narrating] The only constant in life is change. People, as a species, are in a constant state of metamorphoses. Just when we get comfortable swimming in the sea, we end up on land. The moment we become accustom to crawling, we stand on two legs. Our instinct is to resist change, to fear it. So we wrap a pretty word like evolution around it and hope it’ll make the pill easier to swallow. The thing is, change doesn’t care if you love it or you hate it; it’s indifferent. Intractable. And it will not be denied.

S1You're the One I Haunt

[narrating] Right before a big storm, I used to go with my dad to the harbor to look at the clouds, feel the air. There's an eeire stillness before the sky cracks open... a hush. You can feel the storm gathering, smell the flood on it's way. When you know you're gonna die a violent death, when that's the only way you can die, it's all about the waiting for that final storm - if the waiting doesn't kill you first.

She looks like The Grudge.

She looks a little rough.

Rough? If we videotape Sally right now and showed somebody, they'd be dead in 3 days.

She was almost exorcised. She's weak.

She looks like she's gonna eat our entrails.

S1A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Me Killing You

[narrating] This shouldn’t have worked for so many reasons. But for a little while, for this excellent moment in time, it did work, didn’t it? And I felt human, alive. But you were right. A secret breaks things down. It's like bile; dark, corrosive. It's a long story, and most of it's unbelievable. But it's time you knew the truth... now that I have nothing left to lose. When I'm gone, I at least want you to know what I was. I want you to know who you are to me. Nothing else matters. Not anymore.
