The Stranger:
Mr. and Mrs. Sheriff. So sweet. So helpless against what is coming.
Stella Oleson:
He's just trying to freak us out.
Jake Oleson:
It's working.
Sheriff Eben Oleson:
We have more important things to think about. I'll check on Gus.
The Stranger:
Check on Gus. Board the windows. Try to hide. They're coming. This time they're gonna take me with them... honor me. Yeah. For all that I have done.
Sheriff Eben Oleson:
They? Who are they?
Sheriff Eben Oleson:
Hell of a day.
The Stranger:
Just you wait.
The Stranger:
No whiskey. No rum.
Lucy Ikos:
Alcohol's illegal this month. Folks have hard enough time in the dark without booze making it worse.
The Stranger:
Well forget about... the liquor, Lucy. Just bring me a bowl of raw hamburger.
Lucy Ikos:
You can only get meat two ways around here - frozen or burned.
[
the Stranger grabs Lucy's hand]
The Stranger:
You don't bring me what I want to eat. What I want to drink.
Sheriff Eben Oleson:
That's enough, pal. Leave the lady be.
[
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?
The Stranger:
Now what's wrong, with a man, who want a little fresh meat?
Sheriff Eben Oleson:
Come on. You and me. Let's go. I'm taking you outside.
[
the Stranger suddenly gets up and faces him]
The Stranger:
I would like to see that.
Sheriff Eben Oleson:
[
yelling to distract the vampires] Come on, motherfuckers!
Marlow:
[
speaking in vampire language] That which can be broken must be broken.
[
after tearing into someone's throat]
Little Girl Vampire:
I'm done playing with this one. You want to play with me now?
Jake Oleson:
I saw them feeding on Grandma Helen. They're like, vampires, you know?
Stella Oleson:
Vampires don't exist, Jake.
[
after getting shot in the arm by Eben]
The Stranger:
You shithead.
The Stranger:
They didn't take me.
Sheriff Eben Oleson:
Who did they take?
The Stranger:
[
upset] They didn't take me!
Marlow:
[
speaking in vampire language] We should have come here ages ago.
The Stranger:
No way out of town. No one coming to help.
Jake Oleson:
Shut up.
Helen Munson:
Ignore him, Jake.
The Stranger:
You can feel it. That cold ain't the weather - that's death approachin'. Who do you think they're gonna take first? The girl, who thinks a gun will help her? The kid, sheriff's kid? Or the old gal?
Jake Oleson:
Shut up!
[
Jake throws a boardgame piece at the Stranger]
The Stranger:
Oh... yeah... thank you, for the plastique. I can snap that apart and pick the lock.
Beau Brower:
[
before lighting a box of flares on fire] You ain't gonna eat me!
Sheriff Eben Oleson:
All right, time to talk. Who are you here with? Who are you here with?
[
the Strangers whimpers in pain]
Sheriff Eben Oleson:
Who did that to Gus?
The Stranger:
You're a dead man.
Sheriff Eben Oleson:
Where are they?
The Stranger:
[
while foaming at the mouth] I don't talk to dead men. I don't talk to dead men!
Sheriff Eben Oleson:
Well, if I'm dead no one lets you loose from here.
The Stranger:
You're all dead!
Kirsten Toomey:
[
crying] Please, God...
Marlow:
[
speaking in vampire language] God?
[
Marlow looks around, and then after a long pause he stares into Kirsten's eyes]
Marlow:
[
coldly, in English] No god.
[
first lines]
Sheriff Eben Oleson:
Strange.
Sheriff Eben Oleson:
I can smell your blood.
Sheriff Eben Oleson:
Yeah, it worked. But they're gonna cut off the power, so...
[
the power suddenly goes out]
Marlow:
[
speaking in vampire language] When man meets a force he can't destroy, he destroys himself. What a plague you are.
Doug Hertz:
They don't fall down when they're shot.
Beau Brower:
Hell, neither do I.
Beau Brower:
Welcome to Barrow. Top of the world.
Marlow:
[
speaking in vampire language] The heads must be separated from their bodies. Do not turn them.
Adam Colletta:
Are you sure you don't want to stay? Me and Jeannie were kind of hoping that you and Eben might re-think this seperation thing.
Stella Oleson:
Thanks. I uh... got to make the plane.
[
last lines]
Stella Oleson:
What did you do to yourself?
Sheriff Eben Oleson:
What I had to. Should I go after them?
[
Stella shakes her head]
Sheriff Eben Oleson:
It's almost dawn. We made it.
Stella Oleson:
Eben... the dawn...
Stella Oleson:
I should have fought harder, kept Wilson here.
Sheriff Eben Oleson:
It's hard to stop someone when there family's at stake. The things you'll do to save your own.
Stella Oleson:
We were like that once... weren't we?
Sheriff Eben Oleson:
[
upon finding Beau working on his truck] Got a problem?
Beau Brower:
Nothing I can't handle my own fucking self.
[
Eben sees oil leaking from his truck]
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?
Sheriff Eben Oleson:
He lives all alone out there on the south ridge. A little citation now and then lets him know he's a part of this town.
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.
Stella Oleson:
[
muttering to herself] Not enough time this century to cover that, Billy.
Sheriff Eben Oleson:
[
upon seeing pictures of Carter's family] Can't your wife bring you up a sweater or two? Or bring the whole tribe up while she's at it?
Carter Davies:
They'll come when they're ready, I guess.
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.
Helen Munson:
Didn't tell you I got a little greenhouse at home. Didn't want you arresting me.
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.
Stella Oleson:
Why would they send that stranger to cut us off, if they can't handle the light?
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.
