Vasily Fet quotes from The Strain

Vasily Fet

Something evil has taken root. Some disease. Some horrible, horrible strain. A pestilence that's overrunning the city. It's turning people into hungry vermin.

Vasily Fet

Fire in the hole, vermin!

Vasily Fet

I got an elementary school, a hospital and a church and you want me to go to this guy first?

His daughter was bitten by a muncher, and he's a hedge fund manager and a major contributor. So yes, you will go there first and you will be - on your best behavior. Got it?

Vasily Fet

I'll wear my top hat and monocle.

I want this rat found and killed.

Vasily Fet

I'm not here to rehabilitate it.

Vasily Fet

Rats don't migrate like that unless they lose their food source, or something disturbs them. There's plenty of food down there. Something is driving them out of their nests.

Like what?

Vasily Fet

A bigger predator.

Vasily Fet

You look like a bunch of looters to me.

Ephraim Goodweather

We're from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Who are you?

Vasily Fet

I'm a looter.

Vasily Fet

Any reward for turning you in?

Ephraim Goodweather

No, sorry.

Vasily Fet

Too bad for me. Very good for you.

Vasily Fet

I need the rules. What kills these things, aside from direct sunlight?

Abraham Setrakian

The brainstem must be destroyed or severed from the spinal cord.

Vasily Fet

So, beheading or rebar bashing.

Vasily Fet

How would you have handled it, hmm? Teach me something.

Nora Martinez

If someone was going to help him die, it should have been one of us. Someone who loved him.

Vasily Fet

Oh. But you weren't ready to do it.

Nora Martinez

I can't teach you how to be a human being. Eat your bologna.

Dutch Velders

Nikki, the girl I was with at the store, she, um, stole all my money. Every last penny that I had.

Vasily Fet

This is why I don't have roommates.

Dutch Velders

Yeah that, and 'cause you're 40.

Ephraim Goodweather

I'm sick of this Brooklyn-pride shit. Save it for somebody who cares.

Vasily Fet

You're used to having the last word, huh, Doc? How does it feel to know that a pawnbroker and a rat killer know more than you do, huh?

Ephraim Goodweather

You've been waiting for this your whole life, haven't you? Congratulations on the vampire apocalypse.

Vasily Fet

The first will be last, the last shall be first, Doc.

Dutch Velders

More details you require?

Vasily Fet

Only one: Men or women?

Dutch Velders

I specialize in passionate, destructive relationships.

Vasily Fet

The best kind.

Ephraim Goodweather

The ground game isn't for me.

Vasily Fet

So what are you gonna do?

Ephraim Goodweather

Well, seeing as how as a vampire hunter I'm total shit, I'm gonna go back to being a doctor.

Vasily Fet

Where the hell were you all day?

Abraham Setrakian

Don't concern yourself with me.

Vasily Fet

Did you think that maybe, "Gee, uh, I should check in, let them know that I'm not dead, let 'em know I'm not a vampire"?

Abraham Setrakian

I'm not dead. I'm not a vampire.

Vasily Fet

Just checking in, you know. It's almost noon and you hadn't come out and, uh...

Abraham Setrakian

You thought I dropped dead.

Vasily Fet

I figured there was a 20% chance. Now look, Dutch and I, we're we're gonna go clear out some local munchers. I just wanted to check in and see if you need anything before I go.

Abraham Setrakian

No, nothing.

Vasily Fet

All right. Well, don't forget to eat something, all right?

Abraham Setrakian

You want to remind me to go to the toilet, too?

Vasily Fet

Professor, I was wondering, what do you hope to find in these books?

Abraham Setrakian

Something I overlooked. Of all the evils a man faces, growing old is the one I cannot do anything about. When I was young, I could hold all this in my head, and now it seems to be slipping away from me.
