Mick: [Voiceover] When I was still human, I survived the Battle of the Bulge. Six weeks in a trench in the Ardennes - coldest winter I'd ever felt. My buddy lost a foot to frostbite. I thought that was hell... I was wrong.

[Mick has fled to the desert in a bid to protect Leni Hayes, a witness in a court case, and is lying in a bathtub, the life slowly sapping away from him.]
Leni: We have to get you to a hospital. This is not just regular dehydration. Something is seriously wrong.
Mick: [delirious] No hospitals. Just keep trying to get a signal. Call the number I gave you. Ask for Beth. Just talk to her. Only Beth.
Leni: Who is she?
Mick: I trust her.
Leni: Hey, is she your girlfriend?
Mick: No! It's... complicated.

TV Show: Moonlight
Mick: [Voiceover] What do you get when you put a vampire in the desert? Maybe no more vampire.

TV Show: Moonlight
Beth: Mick. Mick. MICK. Stay with me. Stay with me! Mick. You burning up.
Mick: I better.. I die before I feed on her.
Beth: Mick, Leni is in the other room. She's fine.
Mick: I guess... I guess I'm a delicate flower.
Beth: I guess you are.
Mick: Take Leni back. Get her out of here. He's coming.
Beth: I'm not leaving.
Mick: You have to protect her now.

Beth: You need blood!
Mick: No, not yours!
Beth: Look...
Mick: Not like this!
Beth: ...I want to do this.
Mick: [Voiceover] What would you do when the one thing you need to save your life is the one thing that would make life unbearable? [Both look to each other]

[Beth has been knocking on Mick's door. He won't open up. She rests her head against the door, and so does he.]
Mick: [Voiceover] Maybe it was her blood in my veins that let me feel her, the beating of her very living heart. Or maybe we've always been connected. Either way, being near me puts her in danger. So it has to stop.
[She pauses and leaves. So does he.]

Mick: [narrating] If there's one thing I've learned in 85 years, it's that what you want, doesn't really matter. You can want to get from here to there, you can want to be on time. You can want to avoid someone, 'cause, say you drank their blood out in the desert. You can want all of these things, but if the universe wants something different, you can run, but you can't hide.

TV Show: Moonlight
Josef: So, what's her name...
Mick: You know her name.
Josef: Yeah, so how's that going after.. happy hour?
Mick: Fine.
Josef: Well, knowing you, that means you're avoiding her. You're a romantic in the abstract, my friend, but the reality of fang on flesh...
Mick: Look, you said you could help me find the missing girl.
Josef: Did I?
Mick: Yes, you did.

Mick: Josef, Ryder, meet Beth Turner.
Josef: Beth Turner, Buzzwire. Such a beautiful woman on the internet.
Beth: Thank you... I guess. So, are you going to tell me what I'm doing here?
Ryder: Mick said you had a great voice.
Mick: Ryder, here, has a got a list of all of the incoming calls from the dead escort's website in the last 24 hours of her life. One of them is probably the killer.
Beth: So you want me to call the numbers?
Josef: Eh. Quick study.
Beth: What should I say? I've never spoken to a serial killer before.
Josef: Well, be polite. Please, thank you.
Mick: Just do....
Ryder: Whatever escorts do... [holding out an earpiece]

Mick: [narrating] Maybe it's the sum of a million coincidences we don't quite control that brings us to a particular place at a particular time. [he drops his keys, they roll under his car. He bends down to get them.]
Beth: [can't see Mick, walks beside his car]
Mick: [narrating] Or maybe it's the choices we make, the actions we take. If there's one thing I've learned in 85 years, it's that what we want doesn't always matter. [He stands with his keys, coming face to face with Beth. They both gasp]
Beth: You just took off.
Mick: Well, you were kinda tied up with your editor.
Beth: You could at least have said goodbye.
Mick: Good- [Beth stands on her toes to kiss him] bye.
Mick: [They kiss again] [narrating] What we want, doesn't always matter... but then again, sometimes it's the only thing that does.

[Beth and Mick went to Maureen's house to see if they could find her USB drive]

Beth: We gotta narrow down the hiding places.
Mick: It's all about psychology, all right? People hide things in the last place they think anyone else is gonna look.
Beth: Tampons!
Mick: Excuse me?
Beth: I always hide my nice jewelry in a box of tampons.
Mick: Yeah, ok. I'll admit that's the last place I would look.
