Mr. Tall : [whispery kind of voice] Are you boys 21? Are you 21? Say yes!
Darren Shan , Steve : [together] Yeah.
Mr. Tall : [same whispery voice] Good. You don't have a tendency towards panic, sudden cardiac arrest, or crippling anxiety, do you? Say no!
Darren Shan : No.

Larten Crepsley : What did Mr. Tiny want?
Darren Shan : Mr. Tiny?
Larten Crepsley : The fat man in the limousine!
Darren Shan : I don't know. Something about, uh, souls and, uh, and destiny. And he knew where I lived.
Larten Crepsley : Looks like you're in deep shit, my larcenous friend. Mr. Tiny doesn't just take a random interest in people - and the people he does take an interest in wind up dead... or worse.
Darren Shan : What's worse than dead?
Larten Crepsley : Oh... lots of things.
-
Darren Shan : I don't know what came over me. I... I never steal things.
Larten Crepsley : Why not?

Larten Crepsley : So, then, you've learned a valuable moral lesson.
Darren Shan : Yes, I have.
Larten Crepsley : And you'll never do anything wrong again as long as you live.
Darren Shan : No, I won't.
Larten Crepsley : You see? Now you're a thief and a liar!

Darren Shan : So big bad old Crepsley became a vampire 'cause he got dumped?
[laughs]

Darren Shan : [losing some of his amusement] Yeah.
Darren Shan : Then perhaps you should be more sympathetic.
-
Darren Shan : Just because I'm a vampire doesn't mean I'm bloodthirsty. It's not about what you are. It's about who you are.
-
Darren Shan : Hey, can I ask you something? Can I kiss you?
Rebecca : Darren, I let you drink my blood. Sure, you can kiss me.
-

-
Darren Shan : [leaving his family for the second time] Will it work, hypnotizing them?
Larten Crepsley : It works on the memories but not on the emotions. Not really. They'll always feel that you're still alive somehow.
Darren Shan : Well, that's good, right?
Larten Crepsley : Is it?

[first lines]
Darren Shan : [narrating] You know, sometimes it seems like life is all planned out. There's no choice in the matter. We're all gonna end up in the same place, whether we like it or not. But sometimes things aren't so simple. You can end up hurting the people you love the most; betraying the people you want to come through for.

Darren Shan : I hate you!
Steve : I hate you!
