- 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, cream 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]
- 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: 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]
- 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: 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?
- 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.
- 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: 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: 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?
- Beth Turner: You okay?
- Mick St. John: Yeah. Well I got hit in the face with the Sacred Ass Paddle.
- Beth Turner: Karma.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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: [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*!
- 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.
