“Because for us, nightmares really do come true.”

» Being Human (US) 2.02 - “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?”

“Freedom is just pretty way of saying that you’ve gone off the grid. For better or for worse, you’re out of options. But we call it “freedom”, we write songs about it, you probably crank them in your car, and never thought about it much. Some people think it’s exhilarating not having your future mapped out. Others start to drown in all that nothing. Maybe you’ll enjoy for a moment the purity of doing what you want, when you want; beer for breakfast, sex in the afternoon. But obligations sneak up… duty, moral code. Some of us are wired to put ourselves back into cages. Freedom is just that moment of calm before the dread sets in. No matter what you’ve freed yourself from, you only get so far down the open road, car windows down, music blasting, before you’re forced to take a turn, make a choice and sentence yourself to the next adventure.”

“We’re all hiding something, aren’t we? From the moment we wake, look in that mirror, all we do is spin our little lies, suck in that gut, colour that hair, twist off that wedding ring. And why not? What’s the penalty? What are the consequences, really? “I’m only human,” you say, and all is forgiven. But what if some cruel twist of fate makes you something else, something other? Who forgives you then?”

So we’re… we’re gonna, uh… We’re gonna go to work. And so you just, uh… Just have a really nice day. OK? Have, like, a “me” day. And then maybe… maybe some skin cream.

SW: This is how much I know of whats going on with vampires these days. Someone come up and goes, “Hey, I just gotta ask you, do you sparkle?”  I’m like “Hmm?”. “Does your vampire character sparkle?”. “Like, jazz hands? No, no I don’t sparkle! What are you talking about?” They’re like “No, the skin” and i’m like “OK, i’ve no idea what are you talking about”
SH: No, seriously, what the hell are you talking about?
SW: You don’t know what that is? Apparently in Twilight-
Interviewer: Apparently vampires glow in light sunlight, or something like that.
SW: They have diamonds in their skin or somethin’ like that. (points to Huntington) Look at this guy, look at him!
SH: I’m not saying anything, not saying anything.
SW: Attack, attack, what do you want to say?
SH: I don’t know. Honestly, I’m not going to say anything, because we’re, you know, on a show and it has vampires in it, but that… that sounds really dumb.

JOSH: Your boyfriend drowns? Because he’s the ghost of a merman

JOSH: Yeah, and your sex cloud, or whatever this is, it’s gross, OK? It spreads out. I’m afraid to breathe because I might inhale part of you.
SALLY: Wow, Josh! So polite(!)

SALLY: You get in there, pronto. The deck is stacked against you. He’s a doctor. He’s smart, rich, good-looking. He’s got great hair and a chin dimple, and you’re…
AIDAN: Well, uh, you are Josh, and you’re very smart and, uh… funny.
SALLY: And you look super-cute in that sweater vest.
AIDAN: Yes.
JOSH: I do?

JOSH: OK, OK, so stop being you. How? How do we do that?
AIDAN: Uh, feverfew.
JOSH: Fever… what? Is.. Is that a band?
AIDAN: It’s an herb, Josh!
JOSH: OK, how about any other herb? Any other herb, like, on Earth!
AIDAN: Mistletoe?
JOSH: How about matzo meal? Anything I don’t have to summon a warlock for?
AIDAN: OK, all right.

JOSH: Here’s the deal. You know what? He just went through a bad breakup. I’m gonna go check on him because I don’t think he’s all right.

AIDAN: Just something happened. I… I don’t know. Uh…
JOSH: Are you kidding me? Now? You have to do this now?
AIDAN: Does your mom cook with garlic?
JOSH: I don’t know. Seriously, is that a thing?
AIDAN: Yes or no, Josh!
JOSH: I guess so. Does it kill you?
AIDAN: No, no, it doesn’t. It just… It makes us, us.

JOSH’S MUM: So Josh says that he’s happy. See, are you two, uh, happy as roommates?
JOSH: Mom?!
AIDAN: We are. Yeah, he is, really.
