Aidan Turner: Mitchell

Quotes 

• Mitchell : D'ya ever hear the phrase "History is written by the victors?" And the same goes for crime reports and death certificates.

• Mitchell : Stephen, this is Daisy. Daisy, Stephen the coroner.

  Daisy : Hey, Stephen the Coroner.

  Mitchell : So... The fire at the funeral parlor. One of the vampires that got toasted was her husband. How long were you together, Dais?

  Daisy : Sixty-nine years.

  Mitchell : Sixty-nine year. And when you think about couples nowadays, 'eh? Anyway, Daisy needs closure, and she's decided that the best way of gettin' that is by cuttin' your throat.

• Mitchell : We find Lucy.

  Daisy : I don't think she wants to be found.

  Mitchell : She told me once that she prayed in the hospital chapel, so I'll go speak to the chaplin, give him a fright.

  Daisy : And what if he doesn't know?

  Mitchell : Then, one by one, we'll kill everyone in the world until we find her.

  Daisy : Sounds fun.

• Daisy : All over the world you've got these pockets of vampires, some in hiding, some with arrangements like you had here, but things have started to shift. You noticed how there's been a lot of accidents lately? Gas explosions. Buildings collapsing. They're fighting back.

  Mitchell : "They?"

  Daisy : Humans.

  Mitchell : [laughs]  That's what Herrick was always talkin' about. Survival of the fittest. Look, it comes down to this, right? There's always going to be someone with a bigger stick.

  Daisy : So what do we do?

  Mitchell : Oh, we have to wait.

  Daisy : [shouting]  I'm not gonna fucking wait! My husband died in there.

  Mitchell : I know.

  Daisy : Ivan. Your friend. Don't you get it? We're being hunted. We have to retaliate.

  Mitchell : And how are we gonna do that? Hm?

  Daisy : I'm gonna track down everyone who knew; I'm going to torture them; I'm gonna find out who did this; I'm going to kill them.

• George : Listen, I need to tell you something important and you'll probably want to have a wrestle, but, uh, listen. I'm going to that place with Nina and the priest and Professor Jaggat.

  Annie : And I'm going to go with him.

  George : Yeah, so, uh...

  Mitchell : Good. Piss off, 'cause I'm gettin' really sick of your dog hairs on my clothes.
