Hal quotes from Being Human

Hal

I cannot sleep in a barn, or a tent or a caravan or anywhere without central heating, carpets and Radio 4, and that should be on my list.

Hal

It's not dissatisfaction. It's a feeling more akin to having been born in captivity. A seeping realisation that your dreams and ambitions are just too big, too rich for this domestic world.

Hal

Three people can't have dinner together. That's barbaric!

Hal

[to Tom] You're a child, you know that? Watching you negotiate grown-up emotions is like watching a gorilla perform keyhole surgery.

Hal

We can raid the dressing up box and pretend to be human, but ultimately what's the point? Sooner or later we all go back to being the monsters we truly are.

Hal

Maybe I should left a clue like I don't know, locking him in a cellar and tying him to the fucking radiator!

Hal

Ian! I have no intention of bumming you.

Hal

500 years of murder and torment. Round and round we go. Evil doesn't die, it just passes like a parcel from year to year, body to body. But I survive. I live on while good people die around me. Heroes die.

Hal

[to Hatch] You know where you went wrong? You should have put us together. Everything is incomplete...without them.

Hal

I'm not part of this little project now. Which gives me a clarity I didn't have before. Annie, George, Mitchell, Nina, the two of you, what none of you realised...what none of us realised; Is the desire to be human is the end, not the beginning. To want it is to have it. You're not wasting your time Tom, you've already won.

Together, we did the impossible. A werewolf, a vampire and a ghost. But this doesn't have to be the end for you. Remember this moment. Remember what we had.

Hal

We will.

We were on the outside of humanity so we could guard it. Do you understand? So we could guard it.

Annie

So, how do you all know each other?

We live together.

Annie

You what?

I know it's a bit unusual.

Annie

No, it's not that. It's just that, um...Well I...

Three supernaturals all under the same roof.

Annie

Yes, exactly, and I...

I mean, a werewolf and a vampire becoming friends. It's unheard of, I suppose.

Annie

Well no, actually. Not that unheard of, because I...

I think it's largely my influence.

Annie

Interestingly enough, I...

Some might say I've done achieved the impossible.

Annie

[Shouts] I did it! [Quieter] I'm sorry. Um, I did it. I did it too. It's not anything to shout about really, is it? But I did do it.

Hal

What, there's a vampire here?

Annie

Er... No, not exactly. Things have changed a lot for us recently, so...

Oh, that's a pity. Over 55 years and I've never had to change my line-up.

Annie

Good.

Hal

God. Annie, yours is even better than mine.

Annie

My what?

Hal

Your mask.

Hal

Kill me. Seriously, kill me now. You can tell Annie I attacked you, or something.

Tom

Maybe later, if you work really hard.

Urgh, no offence, but, like, I'm into guys that are just a little bit more edgy. You know, a little bit more darkness about them. [Hal and Tom both laugh] Are you laughing at me? You'd better not be laughing at me!

Tom

No, we weren't, honestly.

Hal

Sorry, it's just, um, a private joke, you see. We're actually both quite dark in our own little ways.

Tom

Yeah, but he's darker than me, I'm only dark occasionally.
