Mick: And while we're on the subject. Garlic - is tasty on pizza. Interviewer: Does it repel you? Mick: It repels my dates - sometimes. Toss holy water on me I get wet. Crucifixes? Okay - if you like that kind of a thing. Oh and I definitely can't turn into a bat - that'd be cool though, wouldn't it? Interviewer: What about daylight? Mick: Daylight's not good. Daylight's not good. The longer I'm in the sun the worse I feel. Interviewer: But you don't burst into flames? Mick: Not if I can help it. Interviewer: How do you kill a vampire. Wooden stake I'm guessing? Mick: No, a wooden stake won't kill a vampire - flame thrower will kill a vampire or we can lose our head - I mean literally - other than that we heal. Interviewer: You seem like a very nice guy. [Mick smiles] But don't vampires kill people? Mick: Well, most vampires don't have bounderies or rules, but I do. I don't hunt women, I don't hunt children, I don't hunt innocents, but there're predators out there that need to be dealt

Mick: [narrating] My buddy, Josef. One of the oldest vampires in L.A. 400, going on thirty. Living, well, un-living proof that paranoia never goes out of style. Josef: Ahh, you look good. Been working out? [nodding to himself] yeah, you look good. Uhh, have you seen the news? This terrible thing in West Hollywood? It's everywhere, "Vampire Slaying Rocks L.A." Mick: Yeah, I know, it doesn't look good for us. Josef: It's a threat to our secrecy, what is this the 1720s? We're discreet, we don't leave bodies lying around! We have to be extra-vigilent, we live in the age of fingerprint scans, DNA tests, genome mapping. Mick: Josef! Relax. Josef: I am relaxed. This is relaxed [tugging at his tie] You're only ninety, you've never been chased by a torch-bearing mob, hungry!
