Mick St. John:
Josef Konstantin celebrated as a civic minded entrepreneur. *Definitely* worth putting the monkey suit on for. And of course, there are fringe benefits.
[
looks at Beth]
Mick St. John:
Like spending the evening with Beth.
Beth Turner:
This is great, I feel like I'm back at my High School Prom.
Josef Konstantin:
You know Prom really wasn't that big in the 1700's. Or High School either. Plague. The Plague was big.
Josef Konstantin:
Mick's not usually the jealous type.
Beth Turner:
Speaking of jealous.
[
watching Mick and Simone talking]
Josef Konstantin:
Don't worry, Mick isn't suicidal enough to hit on my date.
Beth Turner:
*Your* date? Let me guess. She was born to Hungarian Aristocracy in 1758. Danced Swan Lake with the Bolshoi Ballet, before you turned her.
Josef Konstantin:
Actually Simone's was born in Recita. '80. And nobody turned her.
Beth Turner:
Your girlfriend's *human*?
Josef Konstantin:
She's not my girlfriend. She's one of my lawyers. Quite an up-and-comer. And a very willing source of refreshment.
Beth Turner:
She just let's him drink her blood?
Mick St. John:
Yeah, it's not that uncommon. A lot of vampires have human... donors. We call them "freshies."
Beth Turner:
Is it like a paid arrangement or friends with benefits?
Mick St. John:
Well depends on the circumstances.
Beth Turner:
So I- I suppose you've had freshies.
Mick St. John:
I've been a vampire for over 50 years now.
Beth Turner:
I'll take that as a "yes." How many?
Mick St. John:
Don't know off the top of my head. Not many.
Beth Turner:
Rough guestimate.
Beth Turner:
150 years with one person, that seems like a long time.
Mick St. John:
Well it depends on who you're with.
Beth Turner:
How long were you and Coraline married?
Mick St. John:
Technically 33 years. And that did feel like a long time.
Beth Turner:
But here you are dipping your toe in the dating pool again. Do you realize this is our *fourth* official date?
Mick St. John:
Define official.
Beth Turner:
Any outing that *doesn't* involve dead bodies.
Mick St. John:
You are such a romantic. You know that?
Mick St. John:
[
finding Dominic's body] I guess this won't be our fourth date after all.
Beth Turner:
But at least you were with Josef. It give you some kind of alibi.
Simone Walker:
But then it would give them a reason to look at Josef more closely. I *can't* risk that.
Beth Turner:
[
looks over her shoulder then back to Simone] It's kind of weird talking about that with someone else.
Simone Walker:
We're members of a really exclusive club, you and I.
Mick St. John:
[
Guillermo's being really careful with Dominic's body] That's beautiful. Getting soft after all these years?
Guillermo:
Hurst was in my March Madness bracket. The dude helped me win the office pool. Can't a man grieve?
Mick St. John:
The Police found blood on Dominic's body. B+
Josef Konstantin:
[
to Simone] You see? There you go.
[
to Mick]
Josef Konstantin:
Simone's cleared.
Simone Walker:
I'm B-.
Mick St. John:
Still think you should give the Police a sample.
Mick St. John:
There's a much easier way to settle this.
[
reaches for Simone's wrist, starts to bear his fangs]
Mick St. John:
Josef don't.
[
Josef takes a bite. Then offers her wrist to Mick]
Josef Konstantin:
Here. For professional purposes only, of course.
Josef Konstantin:
Hi Beth. We were just having drinks.
Beth Turner:
I can see that!
Simone Walker:
[
to Josef] We should go.
Josef Konstantin:
But this is so awkward.... I love awkward.
Simone Walker:
I know.
[
Simone leads Josef out]
Beth Turner:
You okay?
Mick St. John:
Yeah. Well I got hit in the face with the Sacred Ass Paddle.
Beth Turner:
Karma.
Guillermo:
Humans getting busy with vamps, always trouble.
Mick St. John:
That it is.
Mick St. John:
So how long have you been in college?
Lisa:
40 years or so. It's the perfect life for a vamp. Nobody notices when you sleep all day. And there's a constant rotation of Frat Boys too drunk to notice when a hicky's not a hicky.
Mick St. John:
No one notices the puncture wounds in the neck?
Lisa:
That's not the artery I go for.
Mick St. John:
Oh.
Mick St. John:
[
the police try take Emma into custody. Mick restrains her. ] This is *not* how it goes. You know that!
Emma Monaghan:
I... will *not*... go to jail!
Mick St. John:
Okay we'll figure that out. But think about what you're doing.
[
shows his teeth]
Mick St. John:
You're endangering all of us! Think about Jackson.
Emma Monaghan:
I guess we know whose side you're on.
Beth Turner:
[
after Emma's taken into custody] That wasn't so bad.
Mick St. John:
A homicidal desperate vampire is in custody. And she's going to need to feed soon. It's *very* bad.
Josef Konstantin:
I haven't tried to turn anyone since Sarah Whitly. We all know how that worked out.
Mick St. John:
So you're worried you'll kill her?
Josef Konstantin:
No. Maybe I won't. Forever's a *long* time.
[
Mick chuckles]
Josef Konstantin:
Commitment issues.
Mick St. John:
Yeah, me too.
Beth Turner:
[
to Simone] Mick would never turn me. He's kind of the anti-vampire vampire.
The Cleaner:
You *never* should have allowed the Police to take Emma into custody!
Mick St. John:
What was I supposed to do? Let her kill a couple cops maybe a DA?
The Cleaner:
Collateral damage.
Mick St. John:
No! Not to me.
Mick St. John:
[
after explaining the plan] Questions?
Logan Griffen:
Can my code name be "Lando Calrissian?"
Josef Konstantin:
What's plan "B?"
Mick St. John:
There is no plan "B."
Josef Konstantin:
[
watching the execution] We *don't* have to watch this!
Mick St. John:
Yeah, we *do*!
Beth Turner:
Look for months now, you've been saying that things can't work between us. That we live in different worlds. And I didn't want to hear you but maybe you were right.
[
starts to tear up]
Beth Turner:
You can't come back to my world. And I'm not ready to join yours.
Mick St. John:
Wait a minute. *That's* what you think this is about? You think I want to *turn* you?
Beth Turner:
Wouldn't you? Eventually... What happens when I start to get old? Maybe then I'd want it too.
[
sniffs]
Beth Turner:
I don't want to have to make that decision. Emma and Jackson made me realize that you were right. I don't - think I can do this any more.
[
Mick leaves]
Mick St. John:
I've spent the last 55 years, trying to close the door on forever. But I *can't* any more. I *can't* close the door on *Beth*!
[
last lines]
Mick St. John:
[
Beth's crying, her back is to Mick] Want to know what Emma and Jackson made me realize? That YOU were right! You were right all along. This *isn't* about being a vampire or a human! This is about *us*!How we feel about each one another. Right here! Right now!
Beth Turner:
The night that we first met... met again, whatever, what was I wearing?
Mick St. John:
Blue jeans, white striped shirt, green jacket.
Beth Turner:
[
Beth turns around faces Mick] What about my shoes?
Mick St. John:
You were barefoot.
Beth Turner:
How can you remember that?
Mick St. John:
Because I love you.
[
Beth goes to Mick; they kiss]
