Oskar: Eli... Can you and I be together? Eli: What do you mean? Oskar: Well... Will you be my girlfriend? Eli: Oskar... I'm not a girl. Oskar: You're not? [pause] Oskar: Can we be together? Eli: Can't we just be how we are? Oskar: I guess... Eli: Do ...
Oskar: Are you a vampire? Eli: I live off blood... Yes. Oskar: Are you... dead? Eli: No. Can't you tell? Oskar: But... Are you old? Eli: I'm twelve. But I've been twelve for a long time.
Oskar: How old are you? Eli: Twelve... more or less. Eli: What about you? Oskar: Twelve years, eight months and nine days. What do you mean, "more or less"? Oskar: When's your birthday? Eli: I don't know. Oskar: Don't you celebrate your birthday? You...
Oskar: Who are you? Eli: I'm like you. Oskar: What do you mean? Eli: [accusing tone] What are you staring at? Well? Eli: Are you looking at me? Eli: [points her finger at Oskar] So scream! Squeal! Eli: Those were the first words I heard you say. Oska...
[first lines] Oskar: Squeal like a pig. So, squeal.
Eli: I'm twelve. But I've been twelve for a long time.
Eli: Oskar... Do you like me? Oskar: Yeah, a lot. Eli: If I wasn't a girl... would you like me anyway? Oskar: I suppose so.
Lacke: Thank you again for another evening steeped in merriment and friendship.
Eli: [standing outside the door] You have to invite me in. Oskar: What happens if I don't? What happens if you walk in anyway? [feels the air between himself and Eli] Oskar: Is there something in the way?
Jimmy: You stay under water for three minutes. If you can do it, I'll just nick you. [brandishes switchblade] Jimmy: But if you can't, I'll poke one of your eyes out. An eye for an ear, right?
