Russell Tovey: George Sands

Quotes 

• George : That was pathetic! We were like the world's gayest ninjas.

• Seth : What the cock is that?

  Annie : I'm a ghost, actually.

  Seth : Get out. Can you like, move things about and, y'know, walk from one room to another?

  George : [pause]  Yeah, I'm pretty sure everyone can do that.

• Annie : [about to walk through a door to the other side]  Oh, it's cold.

  George : [There's a knock on the door. George and Annie scream]  There's someone behind the door!

  Mitchell : No, no, no, it's all right. It's the other door.

  Annie : What?

  Mitchell : It's the front door.

  Annie : Oh my bloody God.

  George : I actually let out a little bit of wee there.

• Annie : I want to scare him, to make him... cry and beg and scream. It's not just about justice. It's more jagged than that. Is that wrong?

  George : It's human. Not everything about being human is nice.

• Mitchell : [as Annie stands before the portal to the afterlife]  You're lucky. Most people don't get a chance to say goodbye.

  Annie : I know, but... fucking Hell!

  George : No, you might want to have different last words.

• George : [Voice over]  We meet people and fall in love. And when we part, they leave marks for us to remember them by. Our lovers sculpt us. They define us. For better or worse. Like a pinball, we slam into them and rebound in a different direction. Propelled by the contact. And after their parting, we might be scarred. But stronger. Or more fragile or needy or angry or guilty. But never unchanged. Our lovers linger inside us like ghosts. Haunting the corridors and deserted rooms. Sometimes whispering. Sometimes screaming. Invisible but... always there. Waiting.

• George Sands : [Hits a vampire over the head]  Who wants some of my chair?

  Annie : [pause]  Totally should have prepared something.

• George : All right, well, could I just, um, state for the record that, uh, I understand why you're doing this, but I don't want you to go?

  Annie : [a little taken aback]  Noted.

• George : Annie? Annie? Annie! We've got to rescue Mitchell. The thing with the vampires? Oh my god! It's a lot worse than we thought. So this woman, at the hospital, she's fr- No, I'll tell you on the way. They're based at an undertakers. Stereotypes clearly hold no fear for these people.

  [Rummaging through drawers] 

  George : I have no idea what, what I'm looking for. Something to, something to defend myself with, but you know, so far I have a whisk and my- and my... mobile phone recharger.

  [Tries them out] 

  George : I mean what do we take? Do we take crosses and garlic? I know, we should have watched more films! We should, you should grab something... Um, any, any time you want to chip in, say something constructive, do feel free.

  Annie : I can't

  George : I'm sorry? What did you say?

  Annie : It's beaten me. I can't... move. I can't... Owen's won. I can't touch him. He just keeps on killing me.

  George : Okay. First off, you need to stop talking. Then you need to stand up and *help*.

  Annie : You don't understand.

  George : No! Mitchell, our friend, needs you. Your friend. So if you can't do this then you have done to yourself the one thing Owen could never do. Because then you have finally died.

• Seth : Oh, my God. What do YOU want?

  George : Well, either you have the world's worst customer service or we're in the right place.

• George : More jam?

  Annie : How many is that now?

  George : That's eleven jars. I wonder what it is about us that says we need jam.

  Annie : It's a gesture. They feel guilty.

  George : Yeah. So is writing "pedo" on the front door.

• George : [about Owen discovering Annie]  He didn't freak out? At all?

  Annie : It makes sense really when you think about it. We were expecting him to react like a sane person, even though this is someone who killed his fiancé, concealed it, and then rented out the crime scene.

• [Mitchell, Annie, and George are trying to escape from the vampires' lair] 

  Mitchell : Annie! Get away from here!

  Annie : No! I'm not going to leave you!

  George : Annie, just go!

  [Flashes his Star of David at Seth] 

  Seth : That's not going to work this time, Digby. There's too many of us.

  Mitchell : Let them go, Seth. If you let them go, I swear I won't run.

  Seth : [ripping sound is heard]  Ow...

  [Seth looks down to see a wooden stake protruding from his chest. He then collapses and dies] 

  Lauren : Well, he won't be staring at my tits when he speaks to me anymore.
