George Sands quotes from Being Human

Annie

Shit, can you see me?

George

Of course! Who are you?

Annie

You can see me? [She waves her arms] Can you see me do that?

George

What's she talking about?

Annie

Oh my God you can hear me too. I don't believe this!

George

You don't believe it? Mitchell, call the police.

Mitchell

George, it's okay.

George

It is most certainly not okay, we paid a deposit!

Mitchell

George, shut up! She's a ghost.

Annie

[Slightly offended] Your point being?

George

Okay, well this has been great, my first ghost - knockout! But it's getting late, so...

Annie

Uh, you don't have to keep going on about it, me being a ghost, it's a bit rude. If someone's fat and you're like 'you're fat'.

George

Oh, I'm sorry maybe I'm just a bit tetchy, because you just tried to scare me out of my house.

Annie

It was my house before it was your house!

George

That's not an argument! It's not like bagsying the front seat of a car!

George

Julia...!

[Urgently] Please, go back inside.

You heard her, walk away little man!

[To Peter] He's- he's just someone who works at the hospital.

[To George] She been giving you the eye too? What's she been telling you?!

George

I think you should calm down...

Yeah and I think you should piss off! You've been told twice, now!

George

I'm afraid I can't do that.

[Sobbing] George, please!

[Realises] ...George. Did you say "George"? [Tosses her aside, turns to George] I've seen photos of you. You're the one that disappeared. [Shakes his head in amusement] Did you follow her? You think you can take her back now? What's she been telling you?!

Stop-

George

She didn't know I was here, I didn't know she was coming in.

Yeah? Well you're wasting your time; she doesn't even talk about you anymore.

George

[Smiles angrily] Yeah, I'm sure you saw to that.

I'm glad she's gonna see this...

George

[Looks up at the nght sky] You're lucky this isn't tomorrow.

Yeah? What happens then?

George

Monsters come out.

[Startled, confused] George, stop it! What are you doing?!

George

[To Peter] The worst thing...

George, leave us alone!

George

[Ignoring her] The very worst thing... is that it feels so good. A week before, I need glasses to watch the news; Mitchell has to open jars for me... and suddenly everything starts to work, all my senses expand, and there's a part of me that can't wait, that's turned on, and hungry.

Get off him, get off him!

George

[Ignoring her] The neck's amazing, isn't it? This tang of arteries and muscle and sinew; d'you know there are two jugular veins, an internal one, and an external one? [Leaning in close, whispering] I've met people who have tasted them! And they said, the wind pipe, came away with a sigh of air from the lungs that was still warm, and as they described it they had this... look, like everything they do in-between is just sleep-walking; it's only for those few moments that they are totally, and truly, alive. And there's part of me that would give anything, to feel what they do. To taste... what they taste. And that's... the worst thing.

George

Touch her again... I will kill you.

[Horrified] Wh...? [George looks at her] What's happened to you?!

George

[Smiles bleakly] Stay away from me. [Turns and walks away]

[Tearfully] George... [He doesn't stop] George...!

Mitchell

So, you've just arrived at Hogwarts, which house do they put you in?

George

I'd like to say Gryffindor, but they're supposed to be brave. What's the other one? Ravenclaw, does that have a characteristic?

Mitchell

I think they're brainy. You could be in Ravenclaw.

Annie

I quite fancy Hufflepuff actually. I've always thought in Hufflepuff they just spend the day making stuff with safety scissors and glitter.

George

What about you?

Mitchell

I think that they'd say, 'it's probably best if you just stay in the canteen for the next five years'.

Annie

Does anyone ever choose Slytherin?

George

No, because that would be like saying 'I'm a sociopath.'

Annie

Ah well, you shouldn't be eating bacon anyway, should you - you're Jewish.

George

Yeah, I gave up on the whole orthodoxy thing when I started turning into a wolf.

Annie

Do they have rules about being a werewolf as well?

George

I think you'd be hard pressed to find a religion that doesn't frown on it.

Mitchell

What about the Moonies?

George

Okay, you win ten million pounds; what do you do?

Annie

Buy Colin Firth.
