Herodias: How dare to say that to my face. Get down on your knees and beg my forgiveness!

Salome: Oh, well. Why didn't you say something? You're just sitting there, so quiet, looking at me like a hungry kitty. Come on. Given our plans, let's just do it. I'm actually very happy to satisfy someone like you. You never know. It might even bring me some luck. Come on. Come here. Come on. What are you waiting for?

Salome: Sure, I told you. You need some satisfaction. Especially here with all these beautiful girls. This way it's over with, and you get your head back on track.

Salome: It'll be okay. Go to that girl now. She's waiting behind the door for you, dying with anxiety. When she looks at you, you can see little stars falling from her eyes. Poor Tripoli. Life has already been so bad to her. Go now.

Salome: What would happen if all women stopped their soldiers at the door during war?

Tripolina: You die in war. It would be great if every mother did that. Why not? Why? For history? For justice? They've been fighting since the creation of the world. Explain it to me, all this justice. The dead stay dead, and that's it.

Salome: You, shut up! Look who's talking. The other day, this one and the Spanish girl screamed like hell over a pair of underwear. Get a life!

Salome: You keep away from him! Youre hired as freaks... not vampires!

Salome: I just gave back a present he gave me once

The Greek: If it's his heart you want I'll cut it out and give it to you!

[first lines]

Salome: For a camel, you make a triangle like this.

[drawing in the dirt]

Salome: That's the hump. It's so easy. See? Then some lines for legs here. Teacher taught me how to do this. He showed me elephants and cats, too. But I told him you like camels. That's the neck.

[looking up]

Salome: You're not watching. Then on top, I put another triangle for a head. They have big round eyes and a skinny tail here.
