The Strain Quotes
Quinlan: There are no myth's professor, only exaggerations.
Setrakian: Or hidden truths, such as the Ancients. What did they tell you?
Quinlan: They told me about a mortal who'd succeeded in hunting down and wounding the Master. The dark lord has taken on various forms over the centuries, but always by choice. No one has ever forced him to transform, until now.
Setrakian: He has taken on a new form?
Quinlan: And yet your first victory is a minor one compared to this.
Setrakian: What's that?
Quinlan: You led me to his nesting place.
Nora: Kelly got close Eph. Setrakian thinks the Master has made her one of the more sentient strigoi.
Eph: Jesus Christ.
Nora: Pretty sure Zack saw her. You need to talk to him.
Eph: Maybe he didn't?
Nora: Don't downplay this Eph. They nearly got us. She's not gonna stop.
Eph: I'm so sorry. I should have been there for Zack. It just seemed so good, like it was all coming together. Then it was all taken away. It was Eldritch Palmer.
Senator Sertorius: You bleed white yet you tolerate exposure to the sun. You are the half-breed. Birthed of human flesh and demon blood. Possessed of Godlike strength and agility. Why do you not escape?
Quinlan: I'm a student of human instinct and behavior. I find I learn best as their instrument.
Quinlan: The Ancients gave me your name, professor Setrakian. I followed you here.
Setrakian: But who are you?
Quinlan: My name is Quinlan. And you and I have something very much in common.
Setrakian: What's that?
Quinlan: We are both hunting the Master.
Setrakian: You know the Ancients?
Fet: Who or what are the Ancients? What the hell is this guy?
Setrakian: What's driving him?
Fitzwilliam: Pardon?
Setrakian: He has all the money and power he ever needs. Why is he doing this? What does he want?
Fitzwilliam: Palmer's been on the precipice of death for 50 years. Some people might make peace with that, but Palmer... he made a bargain instead.
Setrakian: He wants to be one of them.
Fet: Wait, are you saying that he started an apocalypse to become a muncher?
Fitzwilliam: Not just any muncher, an elevated one. He believes he's going to be the Master's partner.
Eph: Well?
Leigh: He went for it.
Eph: Yes.
Leigh: Long way to go, Chemoral needs to duplicate the science but the door's open. If your product can withstand the scrutiny.
Eph: It can.
Leigh: Then we could have a firm up or down answer in 72 hours.
Setrakian: Thank you for your help.
Fitzwilliam: I did what I could. Tell my brother I tried.
Setrakian: I will convey your message.
Fitzwilliam: Please just make this... [swish]
Robert: Holy shit, what is that?
Eph: See those cysts? I did that. I found a way to kill these things. It's a bio-weapon. It's crude, it needs to be refined but it works.
Robert: What do you need?
Eph: I need to scale it up and I need your access. We need to play politics here. Run it through the labyrinth, except we don't have months we have hours.
Gus: You could quit with the silent treatment bro. I know it's you. Admit it. A'ight, okay, fine. It's just some crazy coincidence. I mean, your name is Angel and you limp on the same knee that he got hurt on.
Angel: Coincidences happen.
Gus: I agree, but you gotta love those Silver Angel movies, right?
Angel: Garbage. Worthless garbage.
Gus: Hey don't insult the man, he's not here to defend himself.
Nora: Excuse me, I'm doctor Nora Martinez. I'm a biochemist with the CDC.
Feraldo: And?
Nora: You don't need to quarantine people for three days. I have a way of diagnosing people who are infected within one to two hours.
Feraldo: Yeah? How's that?
Nora: I'll show you, but first you have to do something for me.
Eph: Shut up. I'm not letting you get in my way again.
Barnes: You think I like the position they put me in? They nearly threw me over a balcony Eph. I can't even sleep. I barely eat.
Eph: Then just let me go. I've got a plan to wipe out all the infected and clean all this up.
Barnes: Well that's great news. I'll let you go.
Dale: Ephraim Goodweather from the news. So how's the fugitive life going?
Eph: Don't believe everything you see on TV.
Dale: I said I saw it. I never said I gave a shit. Okay, government ID will get you out of the city, but seeing as you're having your 15 minutes of fame you might want to change your appearance.
