Quotes

add »
Dayday: What's with the black clothes?
Emma: I think they look cool. Maybe they're artists. Or foreign diplomats.
Dayday: Or maybe they got dressed in the dark and don't know they look stupid. (edit)
Mr. Braun: (to Lex) You've just been invited over by our new guests.
Mrs. Braun: Oh, you were wise to come to this country. There is so much more fresh blood here.
Mr. Braun: And nobody believes that the child could be a vampire! (edit)
Dayday: They work at a hospital. That's why they have all the blood.
Emma: And how was I supposed to know that?
Dayday: (mocking Emma) "We better get them before they get us, Dayday! Ooh, I'm so scared!"
Emma: All right, I made a mistake!
Dayday: I'm never gonna let you forget this. (edit)
David: So she's gonna go over there in the middle of the night? Adios, Emma.
Eric: But they might not be vampires.
Kristen: Then why are all those people getting sick?
Kiki: Yeah, it's like blood being sucked from their necks! I love it! (edit)
Emma: Look where these people came from. Here. Ukraine. That's right in the middle of all those creepy places--Romania, Bulgaria, TRANSYLVANIA. And what about all those people? They're all getting sick! Weak and pale, and they all have bandages on their necks! There's only one explanation.
Dayday: And what's that?
Emma: Our neighbors are vampires.
Dayday: Ugh, I'm dreaming! (edit)

Trivia

Goof: When Emma was hiding, nearly a third of her body was showing, yet Mr. Braun did not see her. (edit)
Goof: When Emma dumps the popcorn on DayDay's head, some lands on his shoulder, but when the camera changes angles it's gone. (edit)

Goof: Lex walks past a mirror in Dayday's house and we see his reflection, but it is later revealed that Lex is a vampire. Therefore, he should not have had a reflection in the mirror. (edit)
