Nora: Has anyone actually ever seen this book?
Setrakian: Several people have seen it. None of them, however, are available to discuss it. There are strange stories of the book turning up in India. Burma. Always presaging massacres. Upheavals.
Nora: So if we find this, it might hurt us?
Setrakian: You're not wrong Dr. Martinez. In 1856, it was listed as part of an auction in Marseille. The auction was cancelled when a mysterious outbreak gripped the city. Since then the book has disappeared. It is said to be cursed, bringing death and disaster to anyone who reads it. But I'm willing to take that risk.

Eph: Councilwoman Feraldo, I work with Nora Martinez at the CDC.
Kowalski: Hey hey, get his ass out of here.
Eph: I believe you know my son, Zack.
Feraldo: Yes I do.
Eph: His mother, she's turned. She got into Red Hook last night. She attacked us. She was made up like an uninfected person.
Mayor Lyle: I thought you told me Red Hook was secure?
Feraldo: It is.
Setrakian: It is not. They'll attack again, in greater numbers.

Feraldo: People of Red Hook, this day will go down in history as a turning point. As the moment that the people of New York came together and stopped these bastards.
Kowalski: People are going to remember this day and you.
Feraldo: Me? We all did this Frank.

Feraldo: You think they're calling to each other? Signaling, you know like coyotes?
Kowalski: They're up to something.
Feraldo: We need to get up higher. See what's going on out there. Jesus Christ, Frank look how many. Where the hell are they all coming from?

People of Red Hook, this is Justine Feraldo speaking. We need your help. Red Hook is under attack. I repeat, Red Hook is under attack. When this plague began, too many of us looked the other way. We hid in our homes and we hoped that someone else would deal with this problem. Now is the moment of truth. No one is coming to rescue us. If we want to survive, we must do this ourselves. Join me and fight for all of us. Don't let these monsters take this from us. People, today we fight or we die.

Feraldo

Fet: Alright, I checked all the window grates. No loose bolts. Place is secure as long as we don't...
Zack: No one does anything stupid, like open the door.
Eph: That creature manipulated you. It's not your fault.

Now, we mustn't forget the eyes. They are after all, the windows to the soul. See, I was correct, this is the mother our dear Zack cries for in the night.

Cardinal Macnamara: There are other interested parties.
Palmer: Who? Is one of them Abraham Setrakian? The man's not a serious player. He's wasting your time.
Cardinal Macnamara: I appreciate the advice.
Palmer: Name a figure that will close the deal right now.
Cardinal Macnamara: I can't. Not as long as there are other bidders.
Palmer: Don't play games with me Paul. You'll regret it.
Eichhorst: I can attest to that.

Quinlan: His shadow looms over you. You crossed him and he does not forget. What has it cost you thus far? Your best friend. Your mother. Do you not see a pattern? She's very beautiful. Beauty and love are fleeting, but powerful. I've known both. I've lost both. You can save her Gus, but the only way is to give her up. Until we slay the Master, that is.
Gus: I don't get it man. Why? Why me?
Quinlan: That is a question I learned to stop asking myself many centuries ago.

Eichhorst: It appears your almighty has better things to do. Now, one last time. Where is the Lumen?
Cardinal Macnamara: I don't have it. I was selling it for someone.
Eichhorst: Who? Where can I find this person?
Cardinal Macnamara: I can't say. I swore before God I would never tell.
Eichhorst: Well, we wouldn't want you to break that vow. Can you feel the worms burrowing through your flesh? When they have finished, you will have no secrets from the Master.

Kelly: I've missed you so much.
Zack: I missed you too.
Kelly: Please honey let me in. There is so much I have to tell you.
Zack: But I can't, you're...
Kelly: Look at me, you can see that that's not true. I was sick, very sick, but I'm getting better. Just let me in and I'll explain everything.

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.

The Strain Season 2 Quotes

Eph: So you're still on board? You're still ready to follow him down every dark tunnel in the city?
Vasiliy: Yeah, but I've got my own plan.
Eph: Which is?
Vasiliy: I'm gonna secure my place, then next door, then the block and then the next block.
Eph: The ground game isn't for me.
Vasiliy: So what are you gonna do?
Eph: Well seeing as how as a vampire hunter I'm total shit, I'm gonna go back to being a doctor.

There once was a great nobleman named Jusef Sardu. Since childhood he suffered from gigantism. His body was aging, his bones were bent and riddled with ache, so he was forced to walk with a cane.
