BLADE: TRINITY [2004]

Where It Began So It Shall End

Her name is Danica Talos. 

You met her earlier. 

And unlike typical vampires, her fangs are located in her vagina.

[Hannibal King]

Funny, isn't it? 

All this time, my people were trying to create a new kind of vampire when one already existed. 

I don't need to survive. 

The future of our race rests with you. 

You fought with honor. 

I respect that. 

Allow me a parting gift. 

But remember this. 

Sooner or later, the thirst always wins.

[Dracula]

The world's changed since your time. The humans have a new hunter... Blade. 

[Danica Talos]

You're brave, King. I'll give you that. 

But underneath all that swagger, I know what you really fear. 

What would hurt you more than anything else.

 You don't wanna go back to being one of us, do you?

I'm gonna bite you again, King. 

And I'm gonna leave you here while you turn. 

I'm going to watch you, day after day, as the thirst keeps building and building. 

And then, when you can't stand it anymore...

[Dracula brings Zoe in]

I'm gonna bring the little girl in here for you to feed on. 

Would you like that, King? 

Would you enjoy taking her life?

[Danica Talos] 

[Dracula]: Do you know who I am? 

[Zoe]: You're the Gnome King.

[Dracula]: Ah. The Gnome King. How sweet. Tell me, child, do you want to die? 

[Zoe]: I'm not afraid. I'll go to heaven.

[Dracula]: There is no heaven. 

No God, no angels. 

The only thing in your future is nothingness. 

But what if you could change that? 

What if you could remain a child forever? 

Wouldn't you like that? 

Wouldn't you accept that gift? 

[Zoe]: My friends are coming to kill you.

[Hannibal King]: We call ourselves the Nightstalkers. 

[Blade]: Hmm. Sounds like rejects from a Saturday morning cartoon.

[Hannibal King]: Well, we were gonna go with the Care Bears, but, uh, that was taken. 

[Zoe, watching Blade inhaling his serum]: Why do you do that? 

[Blade]: Because there's something bad inside of me. This keeps it from getting out.

[Zoe]: Why can't you just be nice? 

[Blade]: Because the world isn't nice.

[Blade]: You're not immortal. 

I musta heard hundreds of you rodents make the same claim. 

Each one of them has tasted the end of my sword.

[Dracula]: Perhaps I will too, then. 

But I think it is more likely the next time we meet, you fall before 'mine'.

BLADE [1998]

Part Man

Part Vampire

All Hero

Blade's mother was attacked by a vampire while she was pregnant. She died, but he lived. 

Unfortunately, he'd undergone certain genetic changes. 

He can withstand garlic, silver, even sunlight. And he's got their strength. 

This time tomorrow, all those wounds of his will be healed. 

He still ages like a human, though. You see, vampires age slower than us. 

Unfortunately, he also inherited their thirst. 

[Whistler]

You have to understand, they're everywhere. 

Chances are you seen 'em yourself, and didn't know it. 

On the subway or in a bar. 

[Whistler]

You better wake up. The world you live in is just a sugar-coated topping! 

There is another world beneath it - the real world. 

And if you wanna survive it, you better learn to *pull the trigger!*

[Blade]

[Whistler]: Frost is trying to trigger a fuckin' vampire apocalypse. 

There's some kind of vampire God he's trying to resurrect. 

[Blade]: La Magra.

[Whistler]: You're the key. He needs your blood. The blood of the day walker. 

You're the chosen one.

[Dr. Karen Jenson]: You have a lot of love for him, don't you?

[Blade]: We have a good arrangement. He makes the weapons. I use them.

[Dr. Karen Jenson]: You're one of them, aren't you?

[Blade]: No, I'm something else.

[Blade]: OK, Vampire Anatomy 101, crosses and running water don't do dick so forget what you've seen in the movies. 

You use a stake, silver or sunlight. You know how to use one of these? [hands her a gun]

[Dr. Karen Jenson]: No, but I'll damn sure learn quick.

[Blade]: Safety's off, round's already chambered. 

Silver hollowpoint filled with garlic. 

You aim for the head or the heart. 

Anything else, is your ass..

[Dr. Karen Jenson]: How'd you get that scar, Deacon? 

I born vampire would have the power to regenerate from birth. 

You must've gotten scarred before you were turned. Isn't that right? 

Vampires like you aren't a species. 

You're just infected, a virus, a sexually transmitted dis... 

[Deacon Frost]: I'll tell you what we are, sister! 

We're the top of the fucking food chain. 

The Blood god's coming and after tonight, you people are fucking history. 

He's a hurricane. An act of God. Anyone caught in his path will instantly be turned. 

Everyone you've ever known... everyone you've ever fucking loved... it won't matter who's pureblood and who's not. 

How are you gonna cure the whole fucking world? Hm?
