Aidan Turner: Mitchell

Quotes 

• Mitchell : They're going to kill me, Annie. They're gonna kill us all.

  Annie Sawyer : No, you don't know that.

  Mitchell : They're frightened of us.

  Annie Sawyer : They should be.

• Mitchell : You're back, then.

  Herrick : Isn't that what you wanted?

  Mitchell : No, no, no, no. What I wanted was to learn how to survive a werewolf attack.

  Herrick : Oh, well, I feel drenched with love.

  Mitchell : So, tell me.

  Herrick : What, now, during a prison break?

• Mitchell : [awakening inside a fight cage]  Why have you brought me here?

  Herrick : Hm, surely, WHO have I brought here is more apropos. I mean, one minute you're letting George tear my head off for the sake of humanity and the next you're massacring twenty of them in a train carriage. I mean, talk about fickle.

  Mitchell : Yeah, I wouldn't expect you to understand. Your character's always been pretty consistent.

  Herrick : I think that was a dig!

• Herrick : I want you to be UGLY! I want you to be CORRUPT! There's this vein of decency in you! I want to STAMP ON IT WITH MY BOOT!

  Mitchell : You want to look in a mirror.

• Herrick : There'll come a day when one of us finally kills the other.

  Mitchell : But it won't be today.

• Mitchell : You recruited me. You led me into this unbelievable world - and I know I've done some terrible things, but I've seen some extraordinary things, too. I have more memories than I deserve, Herrick, and that's because of you. And so, in return, I want to give you this.

  [Looking out, the dawn of a new day breaks from across the North Sea] 

  Herrick : Look at this world. How does it make you feel knowing that soon all this will be ours?

  Mitchell : Don't you understand? It always was.

• Mitchell : [explaining his special request of George]  He has to kill me because he has to disown me. You've all become corrupted by me, but George most of all. He suspected more than any of you, and so he had to choose between his love for me and his ethics - and I let him choose me.

• George : What do you see when you look at me?

  Mitchell : My friend.

  George : That's good.

  Mitchell : A werewolf.

  George : Okay.

  Mitchell : I want to pull your spine out through your mouth.

  George : What's happened to you?

  Mitchell : It won.

  George : So who am I talking to?

  Mitchell : An echo.

• George : I'm doing this because I love you.

  Mitchell : I know.
