Blood of Dracula Page #2

WE CAN MAKE LIFE AWFULLY

MISERABLE FOR ODDBALLS.

I SUPPOSE.

FIRST OF ALL,

WHEN IT COMES TO CLASSES,

I'M THE TEACHER'S

ASSISTANT IN CHEMISTRY.

SECONDLY, NOLA, THE GIRL WHOSE

HAIR YOU TORE OUT BY THE ROOTS,

GET IT?

I GET IT.

AND THEN, IF YOU WANT

TO HAVE SOME FUN HERE

AND BE LET IN ON THINGS,

YOU'VE JUST GOT TO BE ONE OF US.

HOW DO YOU GET TO BE

"ONE OF US"?

YOU'LL DO WHAT I SAY.

YOU'LL HAVE TO JOIN OUR SECRET

ORGANIZATION, BIRDS OF PARADISE.

SO LONG AS I SPONSOR YOU,

YOU'RE AS GOOD AS IN.

I NEVER WON ANY MEDALS

FOR OBEDIENCE.

COME ON.

WE'LL BE LATE FOR CLASS.

I'M NOT HUNGRY ANYWAY.

HI, MYRA.

OH, HI, EDDIE.

HEY, WHO'S

THE NEW TALENT?

NANCY, THIS IS EDDIE.

SHE A MEMBER?

AFTER THE NEXT:

INITIATION.

GIVE HER A PREFERRED

POSITION.

I DIG HER.

WOULD YOU TWO MIND LETTING

ME IN ON THE DOUBLE-TALK?

EVER HEAR OF A CENSUS?

YEAH.

IF THEY EVER TOOK ONE

AT SHERWOOD, EDDIE WOULD

BE PENCILED IN AS THE

WHOLE MALE POPULATION,

AND EDDIE'S

THE EXCLUSIVE PROPERTY

OF BIRDS OF PARADISE.

WE TAKE TURNS:

DATING HIM.

WHAT A CATCH.

THAT'S ALL THERE IS,

EXCEPT ON HOLIDAYS.

WE DIVIDE HIM UP

LIKE A JUG OF WATER

ON A LIFEBOAT.

ONE SWALLOW:

TO EACH GIRL.

OH, NOW I GET IT!

KING FAROUK...

WITH A LAWN MOWER. HA HA!

MYRA, MOVE HER

WAY UP ON THE LIST.

I'LL GIVE YOU A BETTER IDEA,

MYRA--SCRATCH MY NAME OFF.

FALL OFF THAT CLOUD.

I'VE GOT A REAL BOYFRIEND.

WOW!

WHAT A FROSTY CHICK!

WELL, THAT JUST LEAVES

MORE WATER IN THE JUG

FOR THE REST OF US.

ANYWAY YOU POUR IT,

I'D SAY YOU'VE GOT

MORE JUG THAN WATER.

THAT'S FOR NOTHING.

WHAT DID I DO?

IT'S WHAT YOU WERE

WILLING TO DO.

I HEARD YOU, EVERY WORD.

LISTEN, LUNKHEAD,

YOU'RE NOT THE DREAM BOY

YOU THINK.

IF THERE WAS MORE SUPPLY

AROUND HERE,

THERE'D BE LESS DEMAND.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

AND DON'T FORGET,

YOU'RE ENGAGED TO ME.

YEAH,

BUT IT'S A SECRET.

NOT FROM US. YOU KNOW I AND I KNOW IT.

REMEMBER THAT.

SURE, SURE, BABY.

I HAVE TO SHARE YOU,

BUT I DON'T WANT YOU

TO BE SO ENTHUSIASTIC

ABOUT IT.

OK, OK!

NOW GIVE THE GIRL

YOU LOVE A KISS.

HERE?

HERE.

IN THE MORNING?

DOES TRUE LOVE LOOK

AT THE CLOCK?

OK.

AND DON'T FORGET--CUT

YOUR DATE SHORT TONIGHT.

SAY YOUR HEAD HURTS.

YOU'VE BEEN THINKING.

AND MEET ME LATER ON

AT THE SAME PLACE.

MISS BRANDING,

WHAT EXPERIMENT:

SHALL I GET READY

FOR TODAY'S CLASS?

TWO SIMPLE EXPERIMENTS,

COMBINATION.

THE JOINING OF SIMPLE

SOLUTIONS TO FORM

A MORE COMPLEX COMPOUND,

AND DECOMPOSITION--

BREAKING DOWN:

THE COMPOUND.

YOU'LL REMEMBER--

COPPER WIRES TO FORM

A COPPER OXIDE--

AND THEN WE'LL DECOMPOSE

HYDROGEN PEROXIDE

TO FORM WATER.

YES, I GOT

MY THESIS BACK AGAIN.

I'M SORRY, MISS BRANDING.

SAVE YOUR SYMPATHY

AND TRY TO LEARN

SOMETHING FROM THIS.

WE LIVE IN A WORLD

RULED BY MEN FOR MEN...

WHO WON'T EVEN CONSIDER

MY THESIS.

THEY MOCK ME, MY WORK,

BUT THEY'RE CONVINCED

THAT THEY'RE ON

THE RIGHT TRACK.

AND BEFORE THEY'RE

PROVEN WRONG,

AND I CAN DO THAT,

THEY'LL DESTROY

THE WORLD:

THROUGH RECKLESS

EXPERIMENTS.

BUT YOU YOURSELF,

YOU EXPERIMENT ALL THE TIME.

WELL, OF COURSE I DO,

CONSTANTLY.

I'M NOT AGAINST

PROGRESS,

BUT THEY SEARCH:

FOR POWER:

IN THE WRONG PLACE.

IF THEY CONTINUE,

DO YOU REALIZE:

WHAT THE PEOPLE:

OF THE FUTURE WILL BE,

WHAT THEY'LL LOOK LIKE?

MONSTERS...

GROTESQUE, MISSHAPEN,

FRIGHTENING FIENDS.

ISOTOPES AND FALL-OUT

IN OUR LUNGS:

AND OUR GLANDS,

DISTORTING NATURAL SHAPE

AND PROPORTION.

NO ONE CAN CALCULATE

THE HAZARDS:

OF RADIATION.

RECKLESS FOOLS.

THEY SEARCH:

IN THE WRONG PLACE,

WHEN I CAN DEMONSTRATE

THAT THERE'S A POWER

STRONG ENOUGH:

TO DESTROY THE WORLD

BURIED WITHIN:

EACH OF US,

IF ONLY:

WE COULD UNLEASH IT.

BUT HOW?

I CAN RELEASE:

A DESTRUCTIVE POWER

IN THE HUMAN BEING

THAT WOULD MAKE:

THE SPLIT ATOM SEEM

LIKE A BLESSING.

AND AFTER:

I'VE DONE THAT,

AFTER I'VE

DEMONSTRATED CLEARLY

THAT THERE'S MORE

TERRIBLE POWER IN US

THAN MAN CAN CREATE,

SCIENTISTS WILL GIVE UP

THEIR DESTRUCTIVE

EXPERIMENTS.

THEY'LL STOP TESTING

NUCLEAR BOMBS.

NATIONS WILL STOP

LOOKING:

FOR NEW:

ARTIFICIAL WEAPONS

BECAUSE THE NATURAL

ONES, WE THE HUMAN RACE,

WILL BE TOO TERRIBLE

TO AROUSE.

WAR WILL NO LONGER BE

A CALCULATED RISK

BECAUSE IT CAN ONLY END

IN TOTAL DESTRUCTION.

OH, IT SOUNDS BIG,

MISS BRANDING, IMPORTANT.

OH, IF I COULD HELP--

NO, YOU WON'T DO, MYRA.

FOR MY EXPERIMENT,

I MUST FIND:

A SPECIAL KIND OF GIRL

WITH SPECIAL POTENTIALS.

NO, YOU'RE NOT

WHAT I NEED.

I MUST FIND SOMEONE

WITH A NATURAL FIRE,

EXPLOSIVENESS CLOSE

TO THE SURFACE.

A DISTURBED GIRL,

PERHAPS,

BUT WITH A WILL:

OF HER OWN. SOMEONE--

WAIT TILL YOU MEET

OUR NEW GIRL--NANCY PERKINS.

SHE'S AN A-BOMB

ALL BY HERSELF.

Branding:

IN FACT, EACH OF YOU,

IN YOUR OWN:

CHEMICAL MAKEUP,

CONTAINS ELEMENTS WHICH,

IF ISOLATED AND LET LOOSE,

COULD BLOW UP:

THE ENTIRE SCHOOL.

[GIRLS CHUCKLING]

BUT WHEN THESE DANGEROUS

ELEMENTS ARE COMBINED,

WE HAVE A BOUQUET

OF VERY PRETTY GIRLS.

[GIRLS GIGGLING]

MYRA, WILL YOU CONDUCT

THE NEXT EXPERIMENT?

I'LL NEED TWO GIRLS.

NOLA AND...NANCY.

BOTH OF YOU PLEASE COME UP.

SO YOU'RE

THE NEW GIRL, NANCY.

YES, MISS BRANDING.

WELL, YOU'RE

THE GUINEA PIG.

YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.

HERE ARE:

TWO COLORLESS LIQUIDS.

ONE IS WATER,

THE OTHER ALCOHOL.

WE WILL SEE WHICH ONE

EVAPORATES FIRST.

NOLA, PLEASE EXTEND

YOUR RIGHT HAND, PALM DOWN.

GO AHEAD, NANCY.

THAT'S COLD.

IT FEELS REAL COOL.

ALL RIGHT, NOLA, YOU DO

THE SAME THING TO NANCY.

YOU BURNED ME!

OW!

HERE, HERE, HERE,

NANCY!

EASY, NANCY.

YOU MUST CONTROL YOURSELF.

A MISTAKE'S BEEN MADE.

ON PURPOSE!

YOU'D BETTER LET ME

TREAT THIS FOR YOU.

MYRA, WILL YOU LOOK

AFTER THE CLASS?

Myra:
YES,

MISS BRANDING.

I THINK NANCY NEEDS

SPECIAL TREATMENT.

I'M SORRY, NANCY,

BUT ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN.

I STILL SAY:

IT WAS NO ACCIDENT.

YOU FEEL STRONGLY

ABOUT BEING HURT.

I NEVER FORGET A HURT,

AND I NEVER FORGET

THE PERSON WHO HURTS ME.

BETTER?

NO. IT STILL HURTS.

MAYBE IT WON'T GET BETTER.

PERHAPS IT CAN'T

GET BETTER:

UNTIL YOU DO SOMETHING

ABOUT IT.

LIKE WHAT?

LIKE WHAT YOU INTIMATED.

BY GETTING EVEN.

MAYBE.

YOU NEEDN'T BE ASHAMED

OR AFRAID:

OF THAT IMPULSE.

FOR SOME PEOPLE,

SPECIAL PEOPLE,

NO INJURY GETS BETTER

UNTIL THE SCORE'S

BEEN EVENED.

I CERTAINLY FEEL THAT WAY.

SO DID OUR ANCESTORS.

YOU REMEMBER THE BIBLE?

AN EYE FOR AN EYE?

THEN IT'S ALL RIGHT

TO FEEL THE WAY I DO?

YES, UNDER

CERTAIN CONDITIONS.

I FEEL THAT WAY:

ABOUT MY FATHER:

FOR REMARRYING SO SOON.

I HATE MY STEPMOTHER.

I EVEN HATE THE SCHOOL

BECAUSE--

OH, I UNDERSTAND, DEAR.

BRUISED EMOTIONS

DON'T HEAL EASILY,

SOMETIMES NEVER.

ALL QUITE NORMAL,

AS I SAID, UNDER

CERTAIN CONDITIONS.

WHAT CONDITIONS?

I'LL TELL YOU SOMETIME

WHEN WE GET TO KNOW

EACH OTHER BETTER.

SOON?

PERHAPS, AND WHEN

YOU ARE PREPARED

TO DO SOMETHING:

ABOUT IT.

IT WOULD BE SILLY

FOR YOU:

TO STRIKE OUT BLINDLY,

DON'T YOU THINK?

YES.

WHATEVER YOU DO:

SHOULD BE DONE:

UNDER GUIDANCE.

BUT WHOSE?
