Anita (to Cyan): So, when did John start hanging out with rejects from The Matrix?
(On seeing the walk in)
Anita: Great, first the Matrix, now Born on the 4th of July.
Anita: oooh...but I can still raise Combine agents to be zombies. Nice. "This is Sven. He's my zombie butler. Don't mind the smell."

(Phone conversation)
Anita: Alan? It's Anita.
Alan: Anita? You don't sound well. Is everything all right?
Anita: No.
Alan: What's wrong?
Anita: Hypothetical situation for you that I could use some perspective on.
Alan: Okay...
Anita: "so...let's say there's this person...and this person, in the course of working a case...accidently pissed someone off..."
Alan: Who did you piss off?
Anita: Nyarlathotep...
Alan: Good lord!
Anita: And um...yeah...and then he grabbed this person by the throat and slammed their head up against the wall and choked them and said, "I'm going to need you," and...ah, screw it, Alan, he's going to eat my soul!
Alan: (Dead silence)
Anita: So...how are you?
Alan: I've been better. You see, of the two people in this world I can trust, one got turned into a vampire and is now dust, and the other just told me a Mad God wants to eat her soul.
Anita (sighs): Maybe I should go. On second thought...can I come over?
Alan: Of course you can, why?
Anita: I think I need a hug.
