Annie Sawyer quotes from Being Human

Annie

Everyone dies. Actually, can I start that again? Everyone deserves a death. I was going to die of old age. That was the plan. Mitchell was going to go down in a blaze of gunfire and glory.... Not cold and alone and shit scared. He didn't think death would smile at him first. Death was always a certainty. The punch line we could all see coming. But not for Mitchell. For a vampire, death isn't the end. But the beginning.

Annie

I just wanted a chance to explain. You don't know him, you don't know how he'd reacted but I knew. I just I knew that if he saw me again he'd – but he couldn't see me. And now he's got someone else, and now she gets to kiss him and watch him shave and laugh and - I'm still in the clothes that I died in! I get nothing! She gets him and I get... [calms down] I get you.

Annie

Oh okay, so I'm contemplating resolving my death so that I can move on to the next dimension and you're worrying about getting your leg over?

Annie

It was nothing really, just a small good deed in the darkness. But fate is always playing the long-game. They were just two souls united by fear and solitude. Lost in the dark. Fate pushed them together and now they were going to find out why.

Annie

What is it with me and volatile, unsuitable men? Be honest, am I Ulrika Jonsson?

Annie

Strangely, being invisible makes purchasing pyramid teabags a touch awkward.

Annie

[after George has stormed out] WOW! Clearly someone's been watching a little too much Gordon Ramsay!

Annie

My name is Annie Clare Sawyer and two years ago I died. But in so many ways, that's when my life began. In the company of horrors, I learned about friendship and loyalty, sacrifice and courage. Humanity isn't a species, it's a state of mind. It can't be defeated, it moves mountains, it saves souls. We were blessed as much as we were cursed. In this little enclave of the lost I witnessed the very best of being human.

Annie

All powerful and merciful Eve, we have come here today to ask you to assist our dear friend, Leo. We humbly beseech thee to restore him to health, drive away all illness and infirmary, strengthen him, raise him up so that he may... [Searches for missing paper] Ahem... Raise him up so that he may...stand on mountains. Raise him up so that he may walk on stormy seas. Let the road rise to meet him. Let the force be with him. Carpe diem. Veni, vidi, vici. Et tu, Brute. Dolce et Gabbana est. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen!

Annie

Oh my God!!

Annie

Is it me, or do I have the worst taste in men...ever?

Annie

What's it going to be? Good cop, bad cop? I could be good cop, suddenly turned crazy, psycho ghost cop.

Annie

[Tom]'s like a child. He's lovely. He's like a pet. Bloody big one, like a St Bernard or a horse. He's physically incapable of lying or being cruel, so I do worry about him... He shouldn't be killing vampires, he should be getting disappointing A Level results.

Annie

So who wants tea?

George

Ugh.

Annie

What?

George

You keep making tea! Every surface is covered with cups of tea and coffee. I go to make myself some tea and I can't! There's no mugs, there's no tea! It's all been made! And you can't even drink it! You can't drink it, but you keep making it! Oh, oh, oh my god, it's driving me INSANE!

Annie

Oh, well, I like my routine, it makes me feel normal.

George

Wh- b- wh- You're a ghost!

Annie

Yeah, OK...

Mitchell

We've got work and then it's his time of the month.

Annie

Oh god, I used to hate that. Curl up on the sofa, Pride and Prejudice, if anyone said anything I'd bite their head off. Oh, God... that is actually a real possibility for you, isn't it... The, the biting...

Annie

Owen, your landlord, my fiancé. Ex-fiancé. He's coming round!

Mitchell

In about... now.

George

He's coming here? Why?

Mitchell

He's back from Saudi for a few months and wants to meet us.

Annie

Well you guys are his longest staying tenants. All the others have er... found it strangely unwelcoming.

George

[To Mitchell] Why didn't you put him off?!?

Mitchell

I tried! But she kicked me in the shin. The shin, George!
