Eli: I live off blood... Yes.

Oskar: Are you... dead?

Eli: No. Can't you tell?

Eli: I'm twelve. But I've been twelve for a long time.
Oskar: How old are you?

Eli: Twelve... more or less.

Eli: What about you?

Oskar: Twelve years, eight months and nine days. What do you mean, "more or less"?

Oskar: When's your birthday?

Eli: I don't know.

Oskar: Don't you celebrate your birthday? Your parents... they've got to know.

Eli: [Eli looks down on the ground]

Oskar: Then you don't get any birthday presents, do you?

Eli: No.
Eli: [standing outside the door] You have to invite me in.

Oskar: What happens if I don't? What happens if you walk in anyway?

[feels the air between himself and Eli]

Oskar: Is there something in the way?
Oskar: Who are you?

Eli: I'm like you.

Oskar: What do you mean?

Eli: [accusing tone] What are you staring at? Well?

Eli: Are you looking at me?

Eli: [points her finger at Oskar] So scream! Squeal!

Eli: Those were the first words I heard you say.

Oskar: I don't kill people.

Eli: No, but you'd like to. If you could... To get revenge. Right?

Oskar: Yes.

Eli: Oskar, I do it because I have to.

Eli: Be me, for a while.

[pause]

Eli: Please Oskar... Be me, for a little while.

[first lines]

Oskar: Squeal like a pig. So, squeal.

Eli: I'm twelve. But I've been twelve for a long time.
Oskar: Eli... Can you and I be together?

Eli: What do you mean?

Oskar: Well... Will you be my girlfriend?

Eli: Oskar... I'm not a girl.

Oskar: You're not?

[pause]

Oskar: Can we be together?

Eli: Can't we just be how we are?

Oskar: I guess...

Eli: Do you do something special if you're "together"?

Oskar: No.

Eli: We stay just as we were?

Oskar: Yes.

Eli: Then I agree...

Oskar: What?

Eli: We can be "together".

Oskar: Really?

Eli: [Whispers] Yes.

Oskar: Good.
[last lines]
