Love is a monster
Evan
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
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
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?
Louise: Of course, yeah.
Evạṇ: [Observing painting] Really pouring on the melodrama in this one. You look so different.
Louise: Oh, yeah, my boyfriend before was a very unattractive Ottomạṇ. 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... ịf 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.
