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?
