Eben

 * Come get me, motherfuckers!!!
 * [holding up sunlamp] Yeah, it worked! but they're gonna cut the power. [Power goes out] Oh, sh-[starts running]
 * Jake, when they're all watchin me, call Stella on the walkie talkie and tell her to run for it. [Looks up, from preparing to inject] You did good, little brother. [Hugs Jake] Take care of Stella for me.
 * [After injecting Billy's blood] I can smell your blood.
 * When you have a family, you never hurt them!

Marlow

 * It took us centuries to make them believe that we are no more than just bad dreams. We should give them no reason to suspect.
 * Their heads must be separated from their bodies. Do not turn them.

Others

 * Stella: I guess it's a good thing you didn't want kids, eh? [Eben looks up, rather annoyed] Imagine.
 * The Stranger: The cold isn't the weather, that's death approaching.
 * The Stranger: [after Eben shoots him] You Shithead!
 * Beau: Welcome to Barrow, Top of the world!
 * Doug: I kept shootin', and they just kept comin'. It's like they're all cooked up on PCP or something.
 * Girl Vampire: I'm done playing with this one. You wanna play with me now?

Dialogue

 * Eben: Come on. You and me, let's go. I'm taking you outside.
 * The Stranger: [standing up] I'd like to see that.
 * Stella: [resting gun against his head] So would I. But then Lucy would have to clean up after Eben was done kicking your ass.


 * The Stranger: Mr. and Mrs. Sheriff. So sweet. So helpless against what is coming.
 * Stella: He's just trying to freak us out.
 * Jake: It's working.


 * The Stranger: They're coming
 * Eben: Who're they?


 * The Stranger: No way out of town. No one coming to help.
 * Jake Oleson: Shut up.
 * The Stranger: You can feel that. That cold ain't the weather - that's death approaching. Who do you think they're gonna take first? The girl, who thinks a gun will help her? The kid, sheriff's kid? Or the old gal?
 * Jake Oleson: Shut up.
 * [Jake throws a boardgame piece at the Stranger]
 * The Stranger: Oh... yeah... thank you, for the plastic. I can snap that apart and pick the lock.


 * Jake: I saw them feeding on Grandma Helen. I saw their teeth. They're like vampires, you know?
 * Stella: Vampires don't exist, Jake.


 * Doug: They don't fall down when they're shot.
 * Beau: Hell, neither do I.


 * Kirsten: Please, God!
 * Marlow: God? [looks up at sky then back down at Kirsten. He shakes his head.] No God.


 * Jake: [shaking uncontrollably] Sh-she was...j-just a g-girl...
 * Stella: [Embracing Jake] It's ok.


 * Eben: I'll go. I'm the fastest.
 * Jake: Bullshit! I'll go. I-I weigh less than you.
 * Eben: You're fifteen.
 * Jake: Exactly! You have a wife, people need you!
 * Eben: I saw what you did back there. You up to doing that 6 or 7 more times?
 * Stella: You don't even think it will work.
 * Eben: But you do.


 * Eben: They'll kill her if she runs. She'll burn if she stays.
 * Jake: Eben.
 * Eben: Oh dear god.


 * Stella: I should have fought harder.
 * Eben: The things you'll do to save your own.
 * Stella: We were like that once, weren't we?


 * Head Vampire: (Quoting polish journalist Ryszard Kapuscinski) When man meets a force he can't destroy, he destroys himself instead. What a plague you are.
 * Marlow: (Looking at a severely burned vampire, and quoting Dmitri Pisarev) What can be broken, must be broken.


 * Eben: We'll watch the sunrise together.
 * Stella: I'm so sorry, baby. I never should have left you.


 * Eben: It's almost dawn. We made it.
 * Stella: Eben, Dawn! [starts crying]
