Kiss of the Damned Page #2

It means I love him.

Love him?

I just want to say,

for the last century,

You've judged me so harshly.

And it's just strange that

now you turn someone you

Claim to love.

At least I've never done that.

I've never bit

someone I love, djuna!

I wouldn't do that.

You're not capable of loving.

You wouldn't know.

I just know it's not an option.

I'm not the sick one.

Don't romanticize stupid humans,

and watch them through goggles

No, you just leave a trail of

sh*t wherever you go and get

Off on it!

Speaking of getting off,

maybe you finally have...

Because suddenly, you

don't mind sentencing

To the sh*t we

have to deal with.

You know what you did was wrong.

Admit it!

Don't f***ing judge me anymore!

Hi, xenia, it's djuna.

How is everything at the house?

Well, it's not good.

It's about mimi.

You know she's here?

Yes, she needed a place to stay.

I've arranged a safe

house for her in phoenix,

But it won't be

ready for a week.

Well, I'm worried.

She's not stable,

you know she's not.

Darling, she wants

to change her life,

And I can't turn

my back on that.

She's a monster.

You're sisters.

And the fact that she's

crowding in on this love

Affair you're having...

I was going to

tell you about him.

Paolo.

Darling, I trust

your judgment...

But if you can just

bear with mimi for a week.

Of course.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So, I want to

tell you something.

I have some money and...

I'd like to get us a house.

I was thinking we'd go

somewhere out of the country.

Someplace new, where

we could start again.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Just give me a minute.

I'll take care of everything.

I've never lived

with anyone before.

Good.

I think I'm afraid.

I feel so exposed.

I can hear myself.

Hey!

Hey, wait.

I was gonna offer

to buy you a drink.

Thirsty?

Come here.

Sure you don't want

to come back inside?

I'd rather be here.

Ok, well...

Let me know if you change

your mind about that drink.

Come here and kiss me.

Adam!

Yo!

Come on.

Taking forever...

You know you don't have

to do that, don't you?

Djuna is completely neurotic.

The possum was dead.

Everyone knows

that about animals.

If it makes her feel

better, it's fine by me.

So, tell me Paolo.

There are really guys

like you out there...

Who want to have the

life sucked out of them?

Go f*** yourself!

Do you think those

guys have problems?

Maybe aren't mentally healthy?

I would say, wouldn't you?

Why the f*** are

you so interested?

I don't know.

Maybe I'd like a

guy like that for me.

Good-looking.

Destructive.

Oh yeah.

But you're not destructive.

This is all about love.

Tough guy, huh?

Djuna?

Come over.

Beautiful.

Ciao.

It's going to be fun.

Everyone there will be like us.

It'll be good for

you to meet them.

It's important.

Djuna!

Paolo.

It is so nice to meet you.

Djuna's told me

wonderful things about you.

I've heard so many wonderful

things about you as well.

You have a beautiful

apartment, and a beautiful

Home, of course.

Thank you for

letting me stay there.

It is my absolute

pleasure, Paolo.

I've seen some of your films.

No, you are!

You're a very talented writer.

One day you have to

write a part for me.

Anytime.

It would be my honor.

Omar, come meet my

very dear friends.

Djuna and Paolo.

How nice to meet you.

Hello.

Lydia and omar came

from rome for my opening.

You should see their place.

They may have the most

exquisite taste I've ever seen.

We were just talking

about going to rome.

Maybe even moving there.

Oh, you should.

It's one of the

best cities for us.

Large community.

Perfect for lovers.

Are you new?

No, not at all.

Both of you are beautiful.

The first 100 years

are insufferable,

But they do get easier.

The previews start Saturday...

Night, of course.

Obviously, I don't do matinees.

And why should you?

Good to meet you!

Nice to meet you as well.

So, they tell me

that you're new.

Yes, I'm sure there's

still quite a bit to learn.

Ah, there is, there is indeed.

You're in excellent hands.

Djuna's a treasure.

So you're staying up at

Xenia's place in connecticut?

We are.

I love that place.

A little amuse-bouche, everyone?

Oh, don't worry, it's not human.

I don't know, but whatever

it is, it's kosher.

Xenia doesn't mess around.

Whatever this is, it

is the beluga of

Politically-correct plasma.

Bottoms up!

Yeah.

He's extraordinary.

He would make a great actor

because he's so full of pain.

Pain?

Not the bad kind.

No, not pain.

Let' say, awareness.

Soul.

He's extraordinary.

My darling!

So happy to see you!

Cheers.

I have a few cases of this

synthetic blood for each of you.

Try not to go

through it too quickly.

I don't know how long this

army connection will last.

Or how long we'll have access.

The fda hasn't approved it.

Even if the fda approves...

It's not that we'll be able to

get it any more consistently.

It's not like we can

exactly lobby for why...

Prescriptions for us would be a

good idea for the mainstream.

Of course not.

And if they knew we did,

I highly highly doubt...

That they'd deal with it by

selling us synthetic blood.

It makes me so mad!

The way we're forced to live.

I mean this isn't their

world, it's our world!

They're just passing through.

It's not our world.

We may never die,

but collectively,

Well, we're the

ones forced to hide.

We are the monsters.

I can't abide any more

of this self-loathing.

We know what the situation is.

We discuss it all the time.

We're at the beginning of

creating a civilization

For ourselves.

Just like they did when

they realized that...

Killing and raping on a regular

basis was not a fulfilling

Way to live.

I don't want to hear

the term "monsters."

We're all monsters.

Potentially, you

know, potentially not.

Yes, but one has

to ask oneself...

Does the existence of dr.

Jekyll make mr. Hyde any less

Of a monster?

I think that the point we

all have come to realize,

Hans...Is that what civilization

is is a set of moral laws....

And if those laws are broken,

there will be punishment.

Humans still break them...

But for the most part...

These laws have forced

them to value humanity...

To develop sensitivity...

Which is just as real in

them as their baser impulses.

I mean, those laws...

Have freed them to

experience their little lives...

The way we haven't been able to.

I don't like them.

I don't find them touching,

the way you seem to.

I don't find you touching.

They are the best

audiences, I can tell you that.

Vampires are notorious

for "golf applause".

Xenia, jesus.

The ultimate barometer

for superior race,

According to xenia...

How adoring is the audience?

Yes.

Where did mimi go?

She's home.

What the f*** is she doing?

What is she listening to?

I kind of like it.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

You must leave!

Who the hell do

you think you are?

Who is she?

I'm Mimi's sister.

You should know that mimi has
