We used to date.

Oh... is that so?

True.

What happened?

The question is,

what didn't happen?

That was a long time ago.

It was a long, long time ago.

But over the years,

we've maintained our friendship,

so when I got the invitation for drinks,

I knew I'd accept,

especially since I wasn't

invited to the wedding.

It was a big oversight

on my part.

I apologize.

Apology accepted.

Do you approve of Mrs. Greene?

She all right.

No, she's very lovely.

I'm happy for the both of you.

So, Tangier...

how do you feel about

the possibility of eternal life?

What, you found the magic elixir?

If you were given

the secret to eternal life,

what would you do with it?

I'd teach it to the children.

- Why is that?

- Because in today's world,

our black children

need to be indestructible.

Sounds like something

my husband would say.

And on that note,

if you ladies excuse me...

Oh, no, Tangier, for God's sake.

I just have some reading to do.

I should go.

Please. Stay.

You're sure?

- We're sure.

- We're sure.

No exchanging

war stories about me.

Thank you.

Cheers.

Are you going to sit down,

or what?

Why were you giving me

so much attitude?

You really want to know?

That's why I asked, b*tch.

I'm a little bit jealous.

Is that all?

No.

And?

And I feel embarrassed.

I make you feel embarrassed?

Yes, but it's a good feeling.

Would you like to dance?

Where's the music?

We don't need music.

How long will you be

on the island?

About another two weeks,

and then I'm gonna close

my house up for the winter.

Good.

I'll have some

womanly companionship.

It's very quiet here.

Why didn't it work out

between you and Hess?

We just moved in

two different directions.

- I know that feeling.

- Mm.

How did you guys meet?

We met through a mutual friend.

Just turned out I got along

with Hess a lot better.

Ah, it be's like that sometimes.

What color are your eyes?

Blue.

- Lovely.

- Thank you.

My mom's black,

and my dad's Irish.

Black Irish, there you go.

You have the most

beautiful skin.

Do people tell you that?

No.

Well, they should.

Thank you.

People just get stuck

on the blue eyes

like I am on your

beautiful red lips.

Thank you.

May I take a shower?

Baby

I see you

from across the room

See you across the room

You've got your eyes

locked with mine

Eyes locked with mine

What you trying to do?

Hey, what you trying to do

when you see me like that?

- I can't believe

- I can't believe

That you're dancing with her

Tell me what's

she's got on me

Got on me a'

Ah! Stop!

She's breathing!

She's alive, don't!

We're not alive.

What?

Hold her legs.

Why am I always so cold?

It's a symptom.

Are you always cold?

Yes.

What have you done about it?

I've gotten used to it.

What are you reading?

It's a guide to our destruction.

Destruction?

It pretends to be our salvation.

Ganja, do you wish to die?

Hess, do you still love me?

I've tasted the blood

of your wound.

I'll sleep in your lap forever.

The shadow of the cross

against our hearts will destroy us.

The cross is only

an implement of torture.

Each shadow

is the darkness it casts.

We're evil.

I know, my dear.

We've taken lives.

We're giving life.

What we've taken

is God's eventual gift of death.

Hess, you don't look well.

I'm very tired.

I'm tired of this existence.

I killed Tangier.

Najah, I didn't mean it.

- May God have mercy on my soul.

- One, two...

- You gotta learn...

- Amen!

- To let it go...
