Lia quotes from Being Human

Mitchell

Have we met before?

Lia

H-12

Mitchell

H-12? What does that mean?

Lia

It's a riddle. I love riddles, don't you? Like the one about the midget. So, there's this midget who gets into a lift and— I've just given away the answer. Am I rambling?

Mitchell

I'm not a victim.

Lia

So you're what? What? "Misunderstood"?

Mitchell

I'm an animal! I don't deserve mercy or forgiveness! I'm a murderer! I couldn't help myself; I loved it. The sensation, the power... I was dead but I never felt so alive. I wasn't human anymore. I lost my conscience, I was free, and that's what I was addicted to. I hacked my way through the world... I left a trail of blood, a thousand miles long... and I loved it. I'm a disease. I'm a plague. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Lia

You can have Annie back. But there's a price.

Mitchell

I'll stay. I want you to take me to all my victims. I want to feel it. I want to suffer. I don't want to hide anymore. I just want her back.

Lia

It's not that simple. The time and cause of your death have already been set. But there are things that need to happen first. You see, you're the final piece in someone else's story. And they need to complete their journey and in order to do that... they have to kill you.

Mitchell

What?

Lia

You're gonna be killed by a werewolf. A wolf-shaped bullet. Bang!

Mitchell

Who?

Annie

And, um, will I come back here one day?

Lia

Well. We all end up here eventually. The problem with you was you came through the wrong door. But next time you'll come through the right one and it'll be Boggle and Pina Coladas 24-7. Spit spot! Mitchell's waiting. Is anything going on between you guys? I mean he came to purgatory to find you. Puts my ex-boyfriend's tattoo into perspective.

Annie

Lia, what's going on? You told me that I had to come straight here. That Mitchell was in danger.

Lia

Oh, Annie. I made it up.

Annie

You made it up?

Lia

On the spot. I just wanted to screw with Mitchell's head. “The Wolf-Shaped Bullet."

Annie

But why?

Lia

Well, I wanted to drive a wedge between him and George and Nina. But instead of getting suspicious of them he got all worked up about the other two. Tom and...what was it? McIntyre? Macintosh? Well. Whatever. Oh Annie, you didn't really believe it, did you? I can't control people. I can't see the future. You've been watching too much TV.

Annie

If there's no prophecy, then why is this happening?

Lia

Well what you really need to worry about is the self-fulfilling prophecy, Annie. He made it come true. There really is a wolf-shaped bullet. That he carved his name on.

Annie

This is all just one big game to you, isn't it?

Lia

This wasn't a game! This is revenge! He killed me. Let me tell you something about revenge. It isn't petulant or being a sore loser. It's righteous. A game ? Fuck you. This is what needs to happen. Revenge is about setting the world straight again.

Annie

It didn't work though, did it?

Lia

Well, I've still got you and I've still got him grief-stricken without you.

Annie

I don't know who that man is. But I doubt you'll get much in the way of grief-stricken from him.
