"Once you decide to start killing, it never stops, does it?" "No," I said.
"Besides, you're over five hundred years old. I don't think one shot to the head will kill you, not permanently at least."

"Vaulting the railing might have looked better, but it made it damn hard to hold a target."
"You don't want to crowd me, boys and girls, so move it!"

"I heard that music, felt it dance inside my body."
"I shook my head. 'I don't know what I believe anymore.'"
