    Jake Oleson: It's working.

    Sheriff Eben Oleson: We have more important things to think about. I'll check on Gus.

  • Sheriff Eben Oleson: Hell of a day.

    The Stranger: Just you wait.

    [the Stranger releases Lucy, and Eben sits down next to him at the counter]

    Sheriff Eben Oleson: Hey, what do you say the two of us go outside and have a little talk, huh?

    Sheriff Eben Oleson: This for generators?

    Beau Brower: Yeah. Yeah, mostly.

    Sheriff Eben Oleson: Well, Beau, I'm going to have to cite you for it. I can't have it leaking all over the street.

    Beau Brower: What? For that? You don't... you don't have to cite me. You don't have to do anything. Isn't that why we live out here? You know, for a little freedom?

    Sheriff Eben Oleson: [handing Beau the citation] Happy motoring.

  • Deputy Billy Kitka: You know, Beau's not so bad. Why'd you bother writing him up?

  • Deputy Billy Kitka: [after Stella misses her plane] Peggy and me can put two girls in one room. You'd have a place of your own.

    Stella Oleson: I can't stay here. I've got bills to put in the mail. My plants will die.

    Deputy Billy Kitka: It'll all work out. Of course, the price of staying at my place is explaining to me and Peggy just what the heck is wrong with you and Eben.

  • Sheriff Eben Oleson: [to the Stranger] Let me tell you what I got. You don't work at the refinery. You didn't fly in; somebody'd seen you. And you're definitely not from around here. How'd you get in?

    [the Stranger remains silent]

    Sheriff Eben Oleson: All right. Well, we got a long time to figure this out. Nobody's coming for you for a month.

    [the Stranger smiles]

  • [upon finding a bag of pot at the sheriff's station]

    Sheriff Eben Oleson: What the hell is that?

    Jake Oleson: It's pot. It helps her with her cancer.

    Sheriff Eben Oleson: Now I know why you wanted to go live with grandma.

  • Doug Hertz: You keep shooting and they just... they just keep coming.

    Carter Davies: How's that possible?

    Doug Hertz: I don't know. Maybe they're all coked up on PCP or something, you know? They don't feel any bullets.

  • Marlow: [speaking in vampire language] There is no escape. No hope. Only hunger and pain.

  • Sheriff Eben Oleson: We'll sleep in shifts. We'll ration our food, and then we'll figure out the next step. We have two advantages - we know this town, and we know the cold. We live here for a reason: because nobody else can.

  • Stella Oleson: These things can't survive the sun. What if we brought the sun early? Helen had that operation at home.

    Jake Oleson: Yeah. She used an ultraviolet light to grow the stuff.

    Stella Oleson: Yeah. I can run for her place, let them follow me, and hit them with the sun lamp while the rest of you beat it to the sheriff's station.

    Beau Brower: Just because something stopped Bela Lugosi doesn't mean it can stop these things.

    Jake Oleson: What if it doesn't work?

    Stella Oleson: It has to.

  • Lucy Ikos: Now there's six of us.

    Carter Davies: Soon there'll be just five.

    [Carter removes his hood to reveal that he has turned into a vampire]

    Carter Davies: The little girl in the store. I changed. I'm just so thirsty now. I couldn't tell you. That photo's all I've got left of my family. Martha was taking the kids to visit her mom. They were hit... by a drunk driver. I wanted to be with them so much. I... I couldn't bring myself to do it. But I know they're waiting for me. I can't live forever. I can't. Eben. Don't let me.

  • Deputy Billy Kitka: [talking about his family] I heard the screams. I didn't want them to die like the rest. I tried to shoot myself too. The fucking gun jammed. I shouldn't have signaled to you. I just couldn't stand being on my own.

  • Sheriff Eben Oleson: They're burning down the town.

    Denise: Nobody will know what happened. They'll just think it was some horrible accident.

    Lucy Ikos: Next time they'll take out Point Hope, Wainwright.

  • Deputy Billy Kitka: [overlooking the final sunset] I brought Peggy here on our first date.

    Sheriff Eben Oleson: Yeah, we all did.

    [Billy turns and looks at Eben]

    Sheriff Eben Oleson: Not Peggy, of course.

  • Sheriff Eben Oleson: Stop the truck.

    Stella Oleson: What?

    Sheriff Eben Oleson: Stop the fucking truck!

    [Stella stops and they get out]

    Sheriff Eben Oleson: I thought I saw something.

    [Stella looks through binoculars]

    Stella Oleson: Get in the truck.

    Sheriff Eben Oleson: What?

    Stella Oleson: Get in the fucking truck!

  • Denise: Neither of you are getting me alone. Neither!

    Aaron: Ah! We share, right? None of us have to be greedy.

    Gabe: Yeah, come on. We'll be good.

    Aaron: Oh, you will? Where's the fun in that?

    Gabe: Oh, you bad little bitch.

  • Marlow: [Sees Eben walking towards him] Shukanu ja'miph!

    [the One who fights!]

  • Marlow: [Under his breath as Eben approaches] Come and see.
