Series One

Annie Sawyer (Lenora Crichlow): Everyone dies... Uh, actually, can I start that again? Everyone deserves a death. I was going to die of old age. That was the plan. Mitchell was going to go down in a blaze of gunfire and glory.... Not cold and alone and shit scared. He didn't think death would smile at him first. Death was always a certainty. The punch line we could all see coming.

So. What have we got left to look forward to? Us refugees. The flotsam and jetsam of death. Maybe, if we still deserve such a thing as mercy, we find each other.

George: Do you know the difference between you and him?
Mitchell: Hm. I don't know, I don't have to shave my palms?
George: I think that's actually racist!

Mitchell: I never know with you whether it's Jewish guilt or werewolf guilt.
George: They're pretty much the same thing.

George trying on another shirt: Well?
Mitchell: This, ah, non-date. You gonna break it to her you cross-dress?

Mitchell: You know what I can't get my head around?
George: Quantum mechanics?

George: He didn't freak out? At all?
Annie: It makes sense really when you think about it. We were expecting him to react like a sane person, even though this is someone who killed his fiancé, concealed it, and then rented out the crime scene.

George: That was pathetic! We were like the world's gayest ninjas.

Herrick: How do you think this ends?
George: I don't know. We kiss?

George: I don't want you to get hurt.
Annie: No, neither do I. But that risk it's... it's all part of the deal.

Mitchell: Do you people have any fucking idea who I am? My name is John Mitchell. And I've killed more people than you've met.

George: You've put the system back in place, haven't you?
Mitchell: It's the only way to control them.

Sykes: No, this isn't the other side. Yes, I did save you from the Door. And yes, I'm dead too. Sykes. Pleased to meet you.
Annie: You closed the Door.
Sykes: A thank you would be nice.
Annie: Thank you. How did you do that?
Sykes: Extremely well.

Annie about Mitchell: What's he done?
George: How far back do you want to go?

Girl: I still don't understand why you do it.
Mitchell: It's complicated.
Girl: Take your time. I'm tied to a bookshelf.

Annie: George, I didn't think you would seriously go through with it. I thought the moment would just pass. You know, like when you decided you were going to wear skinny jeans.

Nina: George, you turned me into a werewolf. Taking the moral high ground about anything feels kind of ridiculous.
George: So that's why you're here. You weren't sure I felt guilty enough.

George: You make me nervous. It's like all my senses are telling me you're dangerous.
Lucy: I am.
George: Excuse me?
Lucy: But not to you. They're not your senses. There's a... creature inside of you—I know Kemp calls a demon—but it looks at me through your eyes and it knows what I am going to do.
George: It's funny. Because it feels like it's me.

Series Three

Mitchell: I'm doing this. I'll take everything they've got. Death, God, the Devil. None of it frightens me.
George: Right. Well, I feel totally reassured.

Mitchell: Have we met before?
Lia: H-twelve.
Mitchell: "H Twelve." What does that mean?
Lia: It's a riddle.

Mitchell: So this is purgatory? I remember this.
Lia: Well strictly speaking, it's your purgatory. You know we've all got a corridor filled with all the good things and the bad and ... well, you've been busy.

George: What have we got?
Mitchell: A drunk, dead woman. Shouting.
George: That's not a ghost. I can smell her.
Mitchell: What, from here?
George: Oh yeah. Even without the whole wolf thing.
Annie: Well of course you can smell her. She's got a body! {they look at her.} I'm sure I mentioned that.

Nina: [I]f we're really going to execute an amnesiac psychiatric patient like we're the governor of shitting Texas or something then we should all have a vote. And I didn't get my vote.

Nina: Hello.
George: I like watching you sleep. I look at you and I think, "She's mine. She's all mine."
Nina: Hm. That's sweet. Creepy and slightly Ted Bundy-esque. But sweet.

Herrick: Fiat justitia ruat caelum, Nina. Let justice be done, though the heavens fall.
