 | Season 1 / Episode 7: - Reclassified John Amsterdam: Something's definitely going on with Sara. Omar: Well, if she really is the one? John Amsterdam: Time feels more... Omar: Important. John Amsterdam: Lighter. Not so endless. Like, like there might be... less of it for me. Been thinking about death a lot. For the first time, it scares me. Omar: Welcome to the human condition. Like the man said, everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die. |
 | Season 1 / Episode 6: - Legacy John Amsterdam: DNA work. Pronounced similarity in genetic markers. Alex Spoor was family. Omar: Not like you didn't suspect it. [raises a glass] To Alex. John Amsterdam: [raises his glass] to Alex. Omar: A descendant of my wayward father. Sorry we never knew you... Your wife and your son, why didn't you go after them, John? Try to see them. John Amsterdam: And say what? I knew I had to leave them sooner or later. Better they left me. |
| Season 1 / Episode 6: - Legacy Omar: [to John] People are people. If I took responsibility for everything you did, I'd never get out of bed in the morning. John Amsterdam: Well, it's like 200 years ago you beat up somebody in a bar and today one of his descendants blows up a building. Now you can say it's not your fault, but you're connected to it. Omar: It's the butterfly effect. A butterfly flaps it's wings in India and you don't get your wine shipment. John Amsterdam: With me it happens over time. Most people don't live long enough to see it. Omar: Because we only live one life. John Amsterdam: One life, it's... it's just a blink of an eye. |
| Season 1 / Episode 5: - Keep the Change Eva Marquez: Big deal. Old guy had an old guitar. Omar: Old ain’t bad with guitars or men. A Gibson L-double-oh. Early 1930's. Mr. Robert Johnson's axe of choice. Great shape. You'd get six, eight grand for it. Eva Marquez: That's why a homeless guy had it. Who's Robert Johnson? Omar: Who's Mozart? Who's Charlie Parker? Eva Marquez: Who's Chano Pozo? John Amsterdam: Oo, hoo, hoo. Omar: Cuban percussionist. Used to play Big Band bebop with Diz. John Amsterdam: Co-wrote "Manteca". Omar: Ouch. John Amsterdam: Robert Johnson invented the Blues. Omar: Sold his soul to the Devil to do it. Eva Marquez: For what? Immortality? John Amsterdam: Who'd want that? Omar: To play this thing like no one ever has before, or since. You dig Chano? My man RJ will melt your brain. |
| Season 1 / Episode 4: - Honor Omar: [reads what's on John's monitor] Uh oh. New York Times, 2003. John Amsterdam: Yeah. A temporary glitch. Omar: Doctor Sara Millay Dillane, daughter of Mary Dillane and Franklin Dillane was married Friday to Robert Camp. That don't sound temporary to me. John Amsterdam: How many times have you been married? Omar: Enough to know it's supposed to be forever. I'm just saying, maybe she aint the girl of your dreams. John Amsterdam: Hm. It's my dream. Okay? |
 | Season 1 / Episode 3: - Soldier's Heart John Amsterdam: I've never had a coronary over a woman before. Omar: Sometimes a coronary is just a coronary. Face it, you've been eating omelets now for nigh on four hundred years. John Amsterdam: I have the arteries of a 35 year old. Omar: You keep telling yourself that. |
| Season 1 / Episode 3: - Soldier's Heart John Amsterdam: [walks into Omar's very crowded bar] This is what they mean by "The City That Never Sleeps." Omar: Which is why it looks like hell in the morning. You saw her. I can tell. John Amsterdam: She's going to run more tests. Omar: Wait till she gets the results. How did you explain the dying, not dying thing? John Amsterdam: I didn't. Omar: I see. John Amsterdam: I want her to get to know me first. Omar: Oh what a tangled web we weave. John Amsterdam: Spare me. I hate getting parental advice from my children. [Looks at the band] Do they take requests? Omar: When they're written on a $20 bill. John Amsterdam: Well ask them to play "How Long Has this Been Going On?" |
 | Season 1 / Episode 2: - Golden Boy Omar: Cop dropped this off. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves the real story? John Amsterdam: Close. Omar: I always thought Dopey got the bum rap. Just because he doesn't talk doesn't mean he doesn't have something to say. And what's the deal with Happy? Why does he have to be fat? Are most fat people you know happy? |
| Season 1 / Episode 2: - Golden Boy Omar: Just seems like the only thing you care about these days is finding this girl. John Amsterdam: Hey. I've been looking for her for almost four... Omar: [interrupts] 400 years, I know. The woman who'll turn your hair grey. The one. So what does that make my mother? The fifth? The twenty-fifth? Does she get a number like your dogs? John Amsterdam: Watch your step Omar. Omar: Or what. You're gonna ground me? Take me to the woodshed? I'm a sixty-five year old man. John Amsterdam: You're also my son. |
 | Season 1 / Episode 1: - Pilot John Amsterdam: Ever ask yourself why a vampire has no reflection in a mirror? Omar: Not this week. John Amsterdam: Be too painful. To see himself year after year, century after century, unchanged while everything around him grows old. To search for love but to know it's always just out of your reach. Because to be human is to die. To die is what makes life worth living. It's God's joke. |
