Source: True Blood
Speaker: Eric Northman
They're like humans, but miniature. Teacup humans.
Context
This line is spoken by Eric Northman, played by Alexander Skarsgård, in the TV show True Blood (2008-2014).
Eric Northman is the sexiest vampire south of the Mason-Dixon Line (#sorrynotsorry Team Bill). He's also over one thousand years old—old enough that he seems to have forgotten what children look like. When he meets Arlene's two kids in the episode called "Frenzy," he wisecracks to Pam that "They're like humans, but miniature. Teacup humans." Almost good enough to eat.
Where you've heard it
