I can't compete.

Sometimes I wanna take that thing

and throw it out

into the pouring rain.

- Throw yourself in the rain.

- Dean.

Okay, I was kidding.

I only meant that you should

cool off. Don't get all huffy.

Well, it's too late for that.

All right, I'm sorry.

It's just that I've really

been waiting for this.

I'm sorry, really.

Yeah, you're sorry.

Take a look outside, Dean.

There are walking

dead people everywhere,

slowly closing in.

Oh, hey, wait.

Let me go outside

and check the mail for Dean.

In case you didn't know,

the mailman's dead.

Yeah, everyone's dead.

Bring your lamp.

I gotta get this thing in there.

- Why?

- Come on, you can help.

No power and it still has him.

- ( knock on door )

- Man:
Open the f***ing door.

Hurry up now.

Stanley.

- ( woman grunting )

- Lie down.

Who's your man?

- Where'd you find it?

- Frankie's.

Get your ass down!

Frankie's.

Looked like he was squirreling away

for a long winter.

- Where's Frankie?

- F***ing zombies must have got him.

I don't know.

I couldn't find him.

Can I unwrap it now?

Whoa, I don't think--

I mean, look, we still gotta clean it.

Smells like it sh*t itself.

Baby, can I have a taste?

Please, baby.

Please, just a little taste, please?

All right,

but just a taste.

Hey, remember what

I told you about noise?

( grunting )

Okay.

Hey, that's enough.

Hey hey!

- That's enough!

- I'm sorry.

- I'm just hungry.

- I know. Me too.

But if we gonna make this last,

we gotta be smart.

Get up here.

Please let me go.

B*tch, you must be crazy.

Get your ass up here.

Here, open this.

What, what is it?

- Just open it.

- Okay.

It's a hardware upgrade.

Latest in processor technology.

I was selected months ago

to try it out for free.

You mean like a sweepstakes prize

or something?

One out of a million.

Congratulations.

- Ow!

- ( sizzles )

Okay, I'm ready.

Give it here.

Hold on. It says to use protection

when handling. Hold on.

Where are you going?

Just to let you know,

very soon you shall be quicker

and more powerful,

enabling you to function

like never before.

As soon as my slowpoke

wife returns.

Dana!

Put those on.

You're pathetic.

( sighs )

We gotta get that

generator going.

We gotta see what it does.

Okay, I'm gonna go pee.

- ( muffled screaming )

- I told you about the noise.

Now this is your last

friendly reminder, you understand?

Please please please,

don't hurt me.

If you gonna be a guest

in our house, you gonna be clean.

Please! ( crying )

( shower running )

Hey.

Don't.

We can't stay here.

- Yeah, no one's keeping you.

- That's not what I mean.

He's sick.

He needs medication daily.

You're in luck, girlfriend.

There's a drugstore a few blocks over.

It's not that hard

to get to.

It's rare.

The chances of them

having it are slim.

You obviously

have a suggestion.

Yeah, we have a stockpile.

Where?

It's in an apartment

across town.

Good luck with that.

Come on,

you know I'd never make it.

Maybe not.

- Dana.

- Yes, what is it?

I made up my mind

to go to find fuel

for the generator.

I'll check Mr. Charles' place too.

He probably has a ton

of supplies.

Canned food, water,

maybe even more gas.

His loss...

- our gain.

- Well, you know my answer to that.

Well, I'm going.

Well, I'm not.

I'm not going out there at night.

No, not at night.

Well, I'm not going

tomorrow either.

Fine, whatever.

It'll be a one-man mission.

- Good luck.

- Good luck.

( scoffs )

( woman whimpering )

Put something on!

You find something that fits?

Stanley:

Find her something?

Found it.

No!

B*tch, you know I'm gonna suck

your motherfucking blood,

and trust me, there's more

painful ways to extract it.

( screams )

Eat.

No no no no.

We're civilized in this house.

Why?

Look, what we have here

is what an intelligent man

would call a symbiotic relation.

We need you to survive.

And without us,

you're fish food.

You're not gonna kill me?

That is not any kind

of question.

The question is

is how comfortable

are you gonna live?

You got me?

Mm-hmm.

She's eating.

- You smelled it?

- Sweetest blood I ever smelled.

Oh, God, I wanna suck her dry.

Yeah, me too.

- You know I love you, right?

- Yeah, back at you, babe.

- ( gulps )

- What's the matter?

I don't know.

It tastes funny.

Let me see that.

You always got something to say.

- ( winces )

- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, it's not that bad.

It don't taste like any human blood

I've ever tasted.

Do you even remember the last time

you had human blood?

I think so.

And it didn't taste like that.

I don't think we should

drink it.

It's fine.

Hey, maybe it's her diet.

You remember Bulgaria?

God, I can still taste the garlic.

Yeah, with all this going on,

Lord knows what she's been eating.

Still, it don't taste

as good as I thought it would.

It never does.

Woman:

Damon, don't go.

- Damon.

- ( loud chewing )

- Damon.

- ( low growling )

( slurping )

( gunshot )

( baby crying )

- ( baby growls )

- ( gunshot )

( keyboard clacking )

There's a map book

in the kitchen.

Mark the address.

Tomorrow you'll have

what you need.

You're welcome, Marcus.

( slithering )

( mechanical voice )

Pervert pervert

pervert!

( gasps )

She left?

Yeah.

You sent her home.

Mommy.

( humming )

You look rested.

Good. This is--

( sniffs )

- It's my...

- Sh*t, girl, don't say it.

I don't wanna know.

I'll get the wife, okay?

Just--

Just-- just chill, okay?

Stellie, Stellie!

Stellie, get your ass

over here.

Look, I need you

to draw the blood, okay?

- Think you can do that?

- Yeah. Yeah, I can handle that.

Look, I was tripping before,

okay?

But I'm cool now.

I promise.

What's the problem?

She's having girl trouble,

you know?

- She's having her period?

- Now why you have to go and say that?

You know how I feel

about that talk.

You are such a child. Get your ass

in there. I'll get something for that.

Calm down, girl.

I ain't gonna gut you.

I just need to pull

a little something-something.

So what's your name?

Why do you wanna know?

Seeing as how we're gonna

be spending some time together,

I thought that

we should introduce.

Suit yourself.

Natalie. My name is Natalie.

Well, hi, Natalie.

I'm Stellie.

You know,

you look as sweet

as you smell.

Thank you, I think.

Guess that sounded better

in my head.

Stellie.

What is it, Natalie?

Can I come out

of the room?

We'll see.

( gasping )

( zombie growling )

That's a nice machete.

How could something

that looks and smells so sweet

end up tasting so sour?

There's something wrong

with that girl.

This ain't right.

You going somewhere?

We need another.

Well, what about jungle fever

in apartment 16?

Look, I'm just saying.

I mean, you think we should replace her?

I really think we should

give it some time.

Look, this is not gonna work.

Not in the long run.

I need to go out there

and find another.

Hopefully a male.

We can feed off of him,
