Aidan Turner: Mitchell

Quotes 

• George : I got cocky, didn't I? I thought I could put the wolf to sleep, like it would be that easy.

  Mitchell : Come on. We don't know that this is anything to do with that.

  George : Yes, we do. It's like I can feel him pacing in his cage up here, and he feels cheated. He feels aggrieved because I didn't let him out. I didn't let him rage and he wants to rage so very much.

• George : This whole time, I haven't really wanted to think about what happens to me during my hairy times. But as of now, I'm facing it. So. What happens to me?

  Mitchell : You turn into a werewolf.

  George : Uh uh. Uh huh. Yeah. And what's a werewolf?

  Mitchell : A big scary animal.

  George : Exactamundo, Mitchell! The key word is animal. And what do you do with a big scary animal? You put it in a cage. Thus, I am going to buy a cage. See, and this is on my list. "Buy a cage".

  Mitchell : Yeah, a very strong cage.

• Ivan : I may be many things, Mitchell, but I am a man of my word. I will stand in that room and talk about how brave and strong we all are, how this is a fight that we can win. I will do that for as long as you need me to, but I... I can not do it, uh... dry.

  Mitchell : Do you have any idea what you're asking me to do?

  Ivan : I could say the same to you.

• Mitchell : I'm a fucking hero. Enjoy your meal.

• Ivan : Well. That was a very creative reinterpretation of the rules.

  Mitchell : There aren't rules. There's one rule.

  Ivan : That's addicts for you, always looking for little loopholes.

• Ivan : Please don't say you got that idea from me.

  Mitchell : You should be pleased.

  Ivan : Pleased? Don't be fucking ridiculous. It's like when they dress up those bears and make them dance for the tourists in Istanbul. Have you ever seen that?

  Mitchell : No, I can't say I have.

  Ivan : This great big mountain of power and fury, done up in a fez and a waistcoat, and all the time just waiting for it to wake up, realize what it is and tear someone's throat out.

  Mitchell : Did you ever actually see it happen?

  Ivan : Yeah, yeah, I did. Horrific. I mean I've got photos if you want.

• George : I mean, I speak a ridiculous amount of languages. I have an IQ of a hundred and fifty-six, for gods sake. Surely I can get a job that doesn't insult my intelligence. Um, no offense.

  Mitchell : Yeah, well, those thickies at the hospital are really gonna miss you, man.

• Mitchell : What part of "no blood" did you not understand?

  Campbell : No no no. This is different. She wants to be fed on.

  Mitchell : Excuse me?

  Campbell : We found her online. On an emo message board. There are dozens of 'em. They talk about vampires and there's all this bonkers self-harm stuff. It gets really dark. Anyway, they love the idea of being drunk from. It's a kind of groupie thing. Isn't that better?

  Mitchell : No, Campbell! It's not better. Get her out of her, will ya?

  Campbell : Sorry.

  [Emo Girl whispers to Campbell] 

  Campbell : She says can she have her bus fare home then?

  Mitchell : For fuck's sake.

• George Sands : There must be some other reason for chatting you up, like access to drugs.

  Mitchell : She's a doctor! She can steal her own drugs.
