Quotes

 * Blade: The girl is on a knife's edge and if she falls off I want her to fall our way.
 * Shen: So you can catch her, right?

....
 * Marcus Van Sciver: We all make allowances with those who we share a birth experience. You and Frederick for example.
 * Chase: I'd like to kill him.
 * Marcus Van Sciver: And yet you never have.

....
 * Chase: I hate to ruin your day but remember when a woman stormed the lobby and then killed our disposal team--one Lisa Starr?
 * Marcus Van Sciver: Tell me you're joking.
 * Chase: Crazed, out of control. Like mother like daughter.

....
 * Marcus Van Sciver: If I thought you really meant the things you said and did in my office, then Chase would be disposing of an ash-stained carpet right about now.

....
 * Shen: Haven't found Krista yet.
 * Blade: So, what are you doing about it?
 * Shen: I told you, I put the word out. What do you want me to do? Tack up flyers around the neighborhood. "Lost vampire. Last seen ashing her mother. May be suicidal, homicidal. Both. Needs her meds."

....
 * Shen It's weird, isn't it?
 * Blade: What? That I haven't taken your head off yet.
 * Shen: You and Marcus, on the same side, gunning for the Purebloods. Guess the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
 * Blade: I don't have a problem killing my friends either.
