Quotes edit see section history

• “He took in the scene at a glance: Cleaning Guy passed out and snoring on the floor, and Dead Girl sitting in the pew looking like baked dog shit. He smiled at me. "It must be Monday.”

  The Minister

• “I love my cat. She's a pain in the ass, but she's dependable and has never once told me to change my shirt because I look like a crack whore in periwinkle blue.”

  Elizabeth Betsy Taylor

• “So you're a vampire?" "Yes. But don't be scared. I'm still a nice person." "When you're not raping men.”

  Marc and Betsy

• “She really is a terrible vampire. Too dumb to go up in flames in sunlight, and not nearly ruthless enough.”

  Donald

• “First dead, then a vampire, then a queen, now a whore. What a week!”

  Elizabeth Betsy Taylor

• “At a nine a.m. meeting I found out the recession (the one the President has been denying for two years) had hit me right between the eyes: I had been laid off. Not unexpected, but it hurt, just the same. They had to slash costs, and god forbid any of senior management be shown the door. Nope; the clerks and secretaries had been deemed expendable.”

  Elizabeth Betsy Taylor

• “Yep, that's me in a nutshell: Elizabeth Taylor (don't start!), single, dead-end job (well, not anymore), lives with her cat. And I'm so dull, the fucking cat runs away about three times a month just to get a little excitement.”

  Elizabeth Betsy Taylor

• “I dove off the roof and hit the street below, headfirst, exactly as I had planned. What was not in the plan was the smashing, crunching pain in my head when I hit, how I didn't even lose consciousness, much less see my pal God.”

  Elizabeth Betsy Taylor

• “The first thing I saw was Giselle, perched imperiously at the foot of my bed. She had apparently done plenty of sniffing around me during the day and had decided I would still do.”

  Elizabeth Betsy Taylor

• “Go cry in a bag of money, sweetie.”

  Elizabeth Betsy Taylor

• “Don’t start. I can't help it if I've got unholy powers and a stupid first name.”

  Elizabeth Betsy Taylor

• “Man oh man, the paper I could write about this, I'd be famous...right before they checked me into the psych ward for a pleasant year of pureed apricots and finger painting.”

  Marc Spangler

• “I can't believe we're bribing our future queen with designer shoes.”

  Tina

• “She might consider me her queen, but Erik was her sun and moon, closer than any brother. What he wanted, she would get for him. She revered me, but she loved him.”
