Beth Turner quotes from Moonlight

Beth

Why does the girl always have to wait in the car?

Beth

[to herself, as she walks barefoot] Murder on Melrose.... no. Southland Student Slaying. Ehh. Vampire... something with vampire in it. [sees Mick, walks to him] Do.. do I know you?

Mick

[shrugs] You tell me.

Beth

You're a cop, right?

Mick

No.

Beth

Reporter?

Mick

Nope.

Beth

We've met before, you look very familiar.

Mick

Well, maybe I've just got one of those faces.

Beth

Okay... so tell me. Which do you like better: "Vampire Slaying Rocks L.A."...

Mick

There's no such thing as vampires.

Beth

I don't think the woman in the fountain would agree. [turns to look at body] I mean... [Turns back, but Mick has vanished]

What are we still doing here?

Beth

Looking for her car.

Right, and how do we know she didn't just walk?

Beth

Nobody walks in L.A.

Mick

Ouch. [Beth pulls out her Mace]

Beth

You were at the crime scene.

Mick

Easy with the Mace, okay?

Beth

Stay back.

Mick

I'm not going to hurt you.

Beth

You're not going to hurt me? How do I know you're not the killer?

Mick

Well, because I'm not killing you.

Beth

Okay, if you not the killer - and let's go with that - cause that's comforting. What are you doing here?

Beth

A girl's dead, I'm not letting this go.

Mick

You're kinda pushy, aren't you?

Beth

You'll get used to it.

Come on, threesomes never end well.

Beth

Huh?

Don't ask.

Beth

Do you have any idea how hard it is to come up with a gift that says "thanks"for saving me from a psycho serial killer"?

Mick

Miss Manners doesn't cover that?

Beth

Surprisingly, no.

Beth

Very nice, is that your party personality?

Mick

I didn't do anything.

Beth

I'd hate to see what you call something.

Beth

Why did you run? Why didn't you stay there and tell the police what happened?

Mick

[Reciting in his head] Because I'm a vampire. Because I'm a vampire. Because I'm...there's no good way to say it. [Finally out loud] I guess I panicked.

Beth

What did he mean, "I know what you are"? Mick, what did he mean?

Mick

I don't know.

Beth

I don't believe you.

Mick

How 'bout we get Julia first?

Beth

How 'bout you finally answer a question without evading or disappearing?

Mick

Hours almost up.

Beth

Like that.

Mick

We all have secrets, Beth and that's not evading.

Beth

Mick? You ran off again. One second you were there and then you were gone. Are you okay?

Mick

Please leave.

Beth

Not without answers. [She walks in] I keep dreaming about you. Why?

Mick

Please don't look at me. [Beth sees Mick's vampiric state]

Beth

Oh my god. What are you?

Mick

I'm a vampire.

Mick

Beth.

Beth

Okay, I'm here to talk to you about...ehm.. you.

Mick

Maybe you should come in.

Beth

I really need you to tell me that I didn't see what I saw or what I think I saw the other night. The blood, the fangs. I heard what you said.

Mick

That I'm a vampire.

Beth

How am I supposed... Are you the only one or are there other vampires?

Mick

A few hundred here in L.A.

Beth

How can people not know you exist?

Mick

We're extremely careful. Sometimes people see things but they dismissed.

Beth

How can they?

Mick

No one believes them. [Mick gets up] People have been hunting us for thousands of years. So, it's extremely important that no one knows we exist. You understand?

Beth

So, do you bite people's necks and suck the blood out?

Mick

Actually I.. I get most of my blood from the blood bank.

Beth

Oh. The red cross does not mention that in their literature.

Mick

I don't think they know.

Beth

Do you know how crazy this is? I trying really hard to wrap my mind around what you just said and what I saw.

Mick

Hey, I get it. It's a lot to get.

Beth

So, how does a person even become a vampire? How did you become a vampire?

Beth

Should we call the police?

Mick

Suggestions like that are why you shouldn't be here.

Mick

You wanna know how I became a vampire?

Beth

Yes.

Mick

Okay. I told you I was married, right? Well, she was a vampire. I didn't know. And on our wedding night she turned me. I went to bed a happily married man and I woke up a monster.
