They actually called her a peasant girl. A girl from a tiny village, on a dirt island in the Mediterranean. That girl is the most beautiful girl I have ever known.

1. Nadja: "She's gone!" Nandor: "Who?!" Nadja: "My baby dolly! She's gone! She has left home! I can't find her!" Nandor: "How do you know she has left home? Maybe she's just under the couch." Nadja: "No! I can feel it inside my bones. It is exactly what I would do if I wanted to make everyone worry about me and cause a big drama." Nandor: "Just give her some space, I'm sure she will come back." Nadja: "37 wives and you still cannot read the room when a woman needs some attention! Come on, we have to go and find her!" Nandor: "Oh, do I have to? Nadja: "Ooooh! I hope she's okay out there all by her small self...- you know what? If she wants to go out there, get kidnapped by a Turkish hord of gangsters and sold off as mincemeat, fine by me. Rolled up, turned into kofta, then I'm fine with that. This is all my fault. I have been neglecting her. And when I find that little skatomalakia I am going to melt her head. I am going to make a chalice out of her face and drink from it." (Folie-lex)
What We Do In The Shadows - 3.08
1. Guillermo: "You've been brainwashed but it's okay, because we are going to deprogram you." Nandor: "You will not do any...-" Guillermo: "Stop. Let it go." Nandor: "Did you not think for a second...- Listen to me! Did you ever consider for one moment that I might be happy for the first time in decades? Decades! That I found somewhere where I belong? That makes me feel useful and powerful in ways I've never felt. Never! Not in 700 years. Did you ever consider that?" Guillermo: "No." Nandor: "No. So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to get out of this car, and I'm going to go and get a taxi or a bus or a subway or Lyft or Uber, and I'm gonna go back to my human community. And that is that. AH! When did you install silver rope-lined seat belts in this little shitbox?" Guillermo: "Sorry, Master. It's for your own good." (Folie-lex)
