    1. Andy: I didn't choose to become a werewolf. I can't face the fact that I've got to go around killing and eating people for the rest of my life.
    2. Brad: Better get used to it.

    1. Serafine: (to Andy, about her zombie mother) - You scared her away.

    1. Dr. Pigot: Did you see a girl? She's stolen my heart.
    2. Andy: I know the feeling.
