You're supposed to get off your damn pity pot and grow a pair. Look, a terrible thing happened to you, alright? You almost died. That sucks. But you didn't - you're alive. It's a blessing. And you just want to waste it by looking over your shoulder for the grim freakin' reaper." (Tonya Papanikolas)
3. Vincent: "When does it end? When do we just get to be normal? 'Cause every time I have to transform back into that thing, I risk crossing the line. I risk losing any inch of humanity I have left.
