Irene quotes from Blood+

Look. The moonlight. It is such a beautiful night tonight. Please, don't spoil it for the rest of us.

Karman

Ghee why you...

Moses

Karman wait.

Karman

What do you want?

Irene

Southward.

Karman

Southward? How far away?

Irene

I can't hear the voices anymore. Saya and Hagi have traveled far.

Moses

All right, let's go. Hurry, Ghee.

I will. I could stare at the full moon for hours, but if I didn't leave now, I may not even live to see another one.

Hagi

Now stay close.

Saya

What are they?

We finally caught up with you, Saya.

Saya

They know me? Who are you? Are you with the Red Shield? If you've come to take me back, you're mistaken. I'm not going back!

Hagi

You're wrong.

Moses

We are the Schiff. We are finite beings.

Saya

Schiff?

We have come here to take your blood.

Karman

Don't let her get away!

Saya

They're coming after us. Are they chiropterons, too?

Aren't you going to fight, Irene?

Irene

What about you?

We are soulless creatures because we cannot live without hurting others, but we truly have no other choice.

Irene

Yes. I know, but...

Robbing others of their life in order to get our daily bread...is quite natural. Besides, we need special blood to cleans our cursed bodies. These circumstances are not our fault.

Irene

But this is...still so wrong. Ghee, your arm! Ghee.

Karman

Where did they go?

Saya

Hagi.

Hagi

Be quiet. Saya, listen. You must survive, for only you can put an end to all of this. I may not be able to protect you till the end. Saya, if I don't return, you must fight.

Saya

Hagi...

Moses

Karman! I can feel him. So you're Saya's Chevalier.

Karman

That damn Chevalier thinks he's too tough!

She's not around. He must've hidden her somewhere.

Hagi

Saya!

Karman

Ghee!

Hagi

Saya, run!

Saya

Hagi.

I'm impressed that you caught up with me with those injuries, as I thought you were hiding her. Unfortuneately, I seem to be running out of time, too. Stay still and don't give me a hard time. You don't understand our suffering. We can only live in the darkness. We're very much alike, but...the difference between you and me is just one little thing. What's missing from me is the special blood.

Karman

Ghee! You have the sign! Thorns have already appeared on your body?

Since the night of the last full moon.

Saya

Hagi!

Hagi

Saya. watch out!

Irene

Finally, I found you.

Saya

I'll use my blood to kill you!

Irene

I know your special blood is supposed to bring immediate death to all chiropterans, but we're not afraid of your blood.

Because it is your blood, Saya, that may actually give us hope.

Moses

Ghee! You're getting worse.

The Chevalier's blood...cannot actually cleanse our awful curse. It is over for me.

Karman

So then...

Hagi

Saya!

Karman

Damn! The sun is rising!

Moses

Karman, we must withdraw.

Saya

Something's wrong.

Moses

Let's go.

Saya

Hagi! Riku! Go hide somewhere. Hurry! The Schiff are after me!

Riku

Saya, what's wrong?

Kai

Riku!

Moses

Tell me, where is Saya?

Where is she? Evacuated!

Karman

We haven't located her yet.

Moses

Karman, calm down, let's not rush things. We are only interested in Saya. Saya and the Chevalier. Saya doesn't have as many Chevaliers as Diva. If we move carefully, we can take them.

Karman

If they stay here. But what do we do if they run?

Irene

I can see Saya. I feel her. Nearby.

Karman

Where?

Irene

Directly above us right now at the highest point of the ship.

Karman

Does she have her Chevalier with her?

Irene

Yes, But wait, something's bothering me.

Moses

We're not after humans tonight. Let's go.

Kai

What the Hell is going on? Hey! Riku, get out of there now!

Riku

What? What's happening to me?

Kai

Riku!

Riku

Kai!

Kai

Saya!

Saya

Hurry, Kai...run now! And take Riku with you. Hurry!

Kai

Let go Riku! Riku! Riku!!!

Karman

Don't get in my way. boy!

Kai

Riku!

Saya

Riku! Why? Why did this have to happen to him? Riku.

Irene

A Chevalier?

[Last Words] This is our chance.

Moses

Jahn, wait!

Karman

You monster!

Moses

Stop. Let's retreat.

Karman

What?

Moses

It appears the course of the battle has been altered. Saya has two Chevaliers now.

Kai

[Speaking to himself] Chiropterans? Chevaliers? What the Hell does it all mean? This is crazy.

Wait up!

Come on! Let's go. Slowpoke!

Kai

[Speaking to himself] What am I doing at a place like this? Wait... She looks familiar.

Hey, thanks. Thank you.

Irene

[Confused by the phrase, softly and quizzically, she repeats the words : "Thank you?"

Kai

I know I'm right. She's one of the Schiff. Is she here to hunt humans?

Hi, can I help you?

Kai

What on earth is going on?

Kai

Is she really a chiropheran?

Listen, bitch, I ain't telling you again! Give us your money, now!

Irene

I don't have any money.

You really don't want me to hurt you, do you?

Irene

No. I Don't

Who the Hell are you? You're dead!

Irene

Blood.

Kai

[To the Thugs] Now, get lost. [To Irene] You want that blood, don't you? I know. I can see it in your eyes. You're a chiropteran. You attack and kill humans. How come you didn't fight back and just kill both of them?

Irene

I don't want to kill anyone anymore.

Kai

What? What's happening to you?

Irene

No. I cannot live if I leave here. No. No.

Kai

You obviously don't do too well in the sunlight.

Irene

Why? Why did you save me?

Kai

I wanted to ask you some questions.

Irene

Questions?

Kai

Yeah.

Irene

So you're not calling your friends?

Kai

If I wanted to, I would've already done it. The bigger question is whatever happened to your friends? Well, who are they, huh? What is the Schiff?

Irene

I don't actually know myself. I'd like to ask you a question. Tell me, what is a human?

Kai

You have no idea what a human is?

Irene

We were created by those called the "human beings."

Kai

What?

Irene

At a place much colder than this place. Everyone called the place Kilbed. And that's where we were created.

Irene

I'm not sure. We were created just to fight... I think.

Kai

You think?

Irene

We had no choice but to fight in order to survive. I don't know how long I've been here. But my oldest memory is feeling the restraining belts on my skin. The sunlight never reached that place. Day after day... they taught me everything there is to know about humans. And then, time to fight. It was the only time... the restraining devices were taken off of me. Day after day... I had no choice but to fight, fight and fight. Our torn skin closed up instantly... and our broken bones healed quickly. None of us died. We took it for granted. But we later learned the truth. We we could die too. We didn't know what it was at first. Cracks on our bodies. We called it the "Thorn". The Thorn appeared on some of the Schiff... and destroyed their bodies. We found out that those who got the Thorn... would eventually crystallize and die. Then Moses had an idea. [Scene Cuts to a memory]

Moses

We're leaving here tonight.

Karman

Okay, and then what?

Moses

Find a way to live without fear of dying from the Thorn.

Lulu

Any idea how?

Moses

No.

Karman

So then...?

Moses

If we don't do anything, we're all going to end up with the Thorn. As long as we stay locked up in this prison... we're just going to die! One by one until we're all gone.

Irene

Moses was usually very calm, but he sounded so passionate. It was the first time we'd ever felt any hope. That night we decided to leave Kilbed.

Those mosnters!

Irene

That is when we learned... that we were created by humans.... and were meant to be disposable from the beginning. This is the Thorn. We need blood to reverse this. But it can't just be any kind of blood. It must be the same type of blood that was used to create us. Some of it came from Diva. And some of it came from... Saya.

Kai

Hey, if you want Saya's blood, I'll ask her for you.

Irene

What?

Kai

Taking something by force is not the only way. We humans aren't so bad. We know how to share. You said earlier that you don't wanna kill anymore, right? Then all you have to do is ask politely. Then when it's given to you, you just have to say thank you.

Irene

Just say "thank you"?

Kai

Yeah... What? You don't even know how to say thank you? Didn't they teach you anything at that crazy Kilbed place?

Irene

They taught us very few things. Only what they thought we needed.

Kai

Well, let's go. Wait, that's not gonna work. You're getting weaker because you haven't had any blood. Here. Get on my back. Guess they didn't teach you how to get a piggyback ride. Put your arms around my neck and--

Irene

Like this?

Kai

No! Not like that!

Kai

Don't you need to cover your head? Now, let's go. It won't take very long. You know Irene... At first I didn't want to believe what you told me earlier. See, my little brother Riku... ended up turning into what they call a Chevalier. It's weird. Since then... he hasn't really changed that much at all. It freaks me out because he's the same as he was before. He's no longer human. He's a chiropteran. I have to accept that. But I've still gotta be his big brother. I guess the only thing I can do is to... give Saya and Riku a real home. Some place they can come back to and always be safe.

Irene

I think it would make them happy. To have someone like you waiting for them. Someone who loves them and will always be there for them.

Kai

Yeah, I guess they would like that.

Irene

Thank you, Kai. I'm glad I had the chance to talk to you today. You're a nice guy.

Kai

No problem, Irene. I hope we'll do it again real soon.

Irene

Kai, thank you again.

Kai

Too soon for that. You don't have to say that until your ride is over. You know how to say thank you... but you still need to learn when to say it.
