Love is a monster
Evan
edit- I'd still like to grab coffee or something, sometime. Because I think you're the most attractive person I've ever seen. But that doesn't outweigh that you might be a mental patient and I gotta make sure that you're the kind of crazy I can deal with.
- When you're sick it makes you feel lucky for all the times that you were healthy.
- Some pizza and a bottle of wine with the right person - that can make the shittiest day better.
- Sunrises and sunsets. Some things are just beautiful no matter what. And a constant reminder that you only get so many, so you gotta fuckin' enjoy them.
- Vampire, werewolf, zombie, witch or alien?
Louise
edit- So we're sleeping together and I'm, like, making you meals, but you can't tell me anything?
- I don't want to die and I don't want to watch anyone die.
- I'm studying evolutionary genetics. It's easier to isolate genes in a homogeneous population.
Dialogue
edit- Evan: So you've never been in love before?
- Louise: I guess not.
- Evan: Not in thousands of years?
- Louise: I am not a sociopath, okay? I just have really bad luck.
- Evan: You never got lonely?
- Louise: Not since I met you.
- Louise: I understand about half of myself.
- Evan: Then you're half magic.
- Louise: I'm half undiscovered science, bunch of confusing biochemistry, and some crazy hormones.
- Evan: You don't sound Italian, are you really from around here?
- Louises: Not far. I traveled a lot, though. So I sound weird as fuck.
- Louise: So, this time in Prussia, 1760-something, so I'm walking through the cemetery and they're digging up corpses, and the corpses would move from escaping gases and whatnot. And so they're, like, staking... dead people, calling them vampires. Nerve-wracking. So I left there. I'm in the New World and women were hung for being witches for, like, a lot less than my quirks. One colonial guy said I was aging well. No joke, I was on the first ship back to England. So, then I'm in France and they were, like, burning women at the stake for having a moody day. So I catch a train to Germany in the 1930s, and, I mean, we all know what happened there, right?
- Evan: Hey, Louise? Do you want to show me... what's your favorite museum here? We should go check it out.
- Louise: Oh, okay.
- Evan: Can we get some pizza first?
- Evan: Of course, yeah. [Observing painting] Really pouring on the melodrama in this one. You look so different.
- Louise: Oh, yeah, my boyfriend before was a very unattractive Ottoman. How many men are you a mix of?
- Evan: You don't want to know.
- Louise: I don't? Are you jealous, Evan?
- Evan: No, but if every... you're 2,000 years old... If every 20 years...
- Louise: Do you have a problem with how many men I slept with and my age?
- Evan: Okay, just in the fresco in the book I gave you.
- Louise: None. I'm actually 22 years old in that painting.
- Evan: You're a virgin in that painting?
- Louise: Yes. Does that make you happy?
- Evan: So, you really hated being martyred, huh?
- Louise: I was just a peasant posing for the scene. After the Black Plague, I think I was just happy I wasn't scrubbing bodily fluids.
- Evan: I have just one question. Who the fuck is this guy?
- Louise: Where do you think I got these fingers from?
- Evan: You're still really pretty as an Ottoman peasant. Look at... look at this guy. He's like... "Stop! Stop hitting me!"
- Louise: I wanted to show you something even older than me.
- Evan: I saw this on The Learning Channel. It was a bomb shelter during World War II.
- Louise: Yeah, mention World War II and every American becomes a historian.
- Evan: Oh, do they? Well, we watch movies. Lots of them. So, um, what happens when... when this goes down?
- Louise: This body dies and the cells recreate a new one.
- Evan: And what if you use your adult cells?
- Louise: Then... then I'd look exactly the same, just pregnant, and that would be horrifying.
- Evan: How much time do you have left?
- Louise: Until the equinox. Sunrise, probably.
- Evan: Your body knows when winter ends?
- Louise: When I was little, time was measured differently, so all that bullshit with sun god and whatever, it never...
- Evan: Cool, well, if you stay with me... I'll give something up, too. Smoking. We'll both end up like these guys.
