Quotes 

• Alex : How do you know my name?

  Oliver : Because I've been watching you.

  Alex : All right good. 'Cos I thought it'd be something creepy.

  Oliver : And hiding outside are Hal and Tom. The vampire and the werewolf.

  [They come in] 

  Oliver : Hello!

  Alex : And you are?

  Oliver : Oliver Fitzwilliam Pryor, at your service.

  Alex : And what are you doing here?

  Oliver : Playing soldiers, you great ninny.

• Hal : Who's the hell is that?

  Alex : I don't know.

  Tom : What's he doing here?

  Alex : I don't know!

  Hal : Well, what does he want?

  Alex : I don't know! But maybe if you keep asking me I'll magically find out.

• Alex : I think the house is haunted.

  Hal : Alex, there's no easy way to say this.

  Alex : No, not me, idiot. There's another one, you have to come home.

• Tom : [to Oliver]  We don't want you getting poorly now, do we?

  Alex : He's been dead for a hundred years. How much more poorly can he get?

  [he coughs] 

  Alex : No, that is a classic "I want the day off school" cough. I've heard it a thousand times.

  Oliver : Thank you all. You've been so very kind. And if I don't make it, please... don't forget me.

  Alex : You know Decky used to look up symptoms online all the time except he could never be bothered looking up the diagnosis.

  [Hal and Tom quietly leave] 

  Alex : There was this one time he said he couldn't go to school because he'd just started the menopause. Oh you two are so getting a slap.

• Alex : So what do you want to do then? Play some football? Climb some trees?

  Oliver : What kind of low-born ruffian do you take me for?

  Alex : TV it is.

• Alex : What's all this in aid of?

  Alex : Don't you like a party? Who doesn't like a party? Everybody likes a party. It's the fucking law.

• Alex : Time to say goodbye.

  Hal : Of course. I mean, it's what we expected.

  Alex : Not to you, you idiot. To them. To this. They've started rebuilding their world. As the distance gets greater and greater they're just going to get stronger and stronger. To watch that happen would be like slowly dying again. I've got to move on as much as they do. Come on. Let's, let's go home.

• Tom : Everyone deserves to have a fuss made of them when they're little.

  Alex : Okay, then. Okay, well, then, it's agreed. Tonight we're going to party like it's 1899. Ye ha! You're not yay-ing, Hal.

  Hal : [Pained]  Yay.
