"This is our version of a plague, but a good one, one for all the right reasons." "You never met my dad, Zack." "He was a doctor in our small town." "And he would let the patients pay whatever they could, he made house calls..." "And around Christmastime, patients would just leave stuff at our front door:" "steaks, hand-knitted sweaters, keg of beer, fruitcake." "I didn't get that much time with him."

"It makes me sick to think of all the time she wasted crying over you." " Well, if you hear from Nikki, can you tell her I came by?" "I was worried and I'm alive." " Well, of course you're alive!" "You know, Nicola met a vampire a very long time ago." "She sucked the good and the spirit out of her." "And after it was all done, this vampire didn't even have the decency to leave." "No, no, no." "She stayed around, haunting her" " Who do you think took care of her when you cut the money off?" " Well, I was not about to funnel money into a lifestyle that I didn't approve of."

"Can you grab this side for me?" "It's kinda heavy." "Little more." "Thanks, man." " You're only the third vendor making calls today." " Yeah, man, I got 12 other stops to make after this." "All kind of shit breaking down everywhere." " I hear you." "This way." " To the right?" " This way." " I'll be in and out quick."
