in the glove compartment

And give me the little

notebook that's in there.

In the glove

compartment.

There's a little

notebook in there.

Thanks.

My husband's

a fanatic about this...

How much gas, when,

what's the mileage.

I'm sorry.

I'm the complaining

old housewife.

If you don't like it,

get out.

Hey, I don't mean you.

I mean me.

If i'm so dissatisfied,

I should

just get out of it

And shut up

about it.

You remind me of an old

cat I used to have.

I don't mean that

to sound funny.

I had

an old alley cat,

And he used to sit

on the floor

And stare up at me

with those eyes.

I really

used to be able

To talk

to that old cat.

And he'd just

listen and listen

Till I got it all

out of my system.

He never said

anything either,

Never talked back.

Wow.

Thank you.

Say, do you do

any other jobs...

Yardwork, handy-Work,

stuff like that?

Well, maybe we can work

something out.

See you next week.

Christina:
it's crazy.

I can't believe

this is happening.

It's a nightmare,

for you and him!

Your father was not

from our part of the world.

Your mother knew.

She believed.

Well, if she did,

then thank god

I was too little

to know her.

Martin had his father

until he was 32.

Grandfather,

he is just a boy!

Look in the books,

christina.

We have the books

of the family.

Did you ever look?

Of course, the books.

The books will show it.

Those damn books...

They should be burned!

That's where you get

your horrible ideas!

Ask the boy himself.

Ask Martin. He will tell you.

He's unbalanced.

He's mad.

And you and those books

have driven him to it!

He is nosferatu.

He was born

to elena borassa

And rudy mathias

in the old country

In 1892.

He is young

for nosferatu.

There have been 9

such accursed in the family.

There are 3 still alive.

Martin is one.

Count demodeli is the eldest

in the family now.

From the old country,

he sends the letters

Telling who will take

the company into their house.

We obey, first

for the family shame,

And again because,

to defy the evil ones

Is to bring a curse

upon oneself.

I will not shame

the family,

But the devil...

the devil can take my soul.

I would have

destroyed the children

The moment they

showed the signs.

Elena borassa took

her own life instead.

Now...Martin comes to me.

People cannot come

to other people's beliefs.

It's hard for you, I know.

It's hard for anyone young.

Do you believe

that god's whole world

Runs by the laws

of the few sciences

We have been able

to discover?

Oh, no, christina.

There is more.

But people

are satisfied.

They know so much,

they think they know all.

And that makes it

easy for nosferatu.

That makes it easy

for all the devils.

Damn him.

Here. Let me help.

No. It's my job.

I just want

to help, all right?

No. It's my job.

Mind if I turn

this off?

I'm glad you don't

believe in the magic.

Well, I don't.

I really don't.

I know, and i'm glad.

I'm sorry that you have

to go through it all.

I know it must be

awful for you.

It is. It is awful.

Tada cuda. Ah, he's...

As long as it

doesn't get crazy.

Sometimes

they get crazy.

How old are you,

Martin?

Oh, i'm old.

How old?

Listen, I would really

like to help you.

Would you like

to see a doctor?

I've seen

lots of doctors.

They don't know

what to do either.

You shouldn't be

with the family.

Maybe you should be

In a hospital

or a home or something.

No. That would be

too hard for me.

Well, I think that

this is hard for you,

And I think

that if the family

Really wanted

to help you,

That that's what

they should do.

They're crazy! They're

the ones that are...

I'm sorry.

Ah, it's just that...

well, I grew up in this

entire thing, too.

Nosferatu. Nosferatu.

The family curse.

The family shame.

It's the middle ages!

Do you know,

i heard about this

My entire life?

Sometimes I even

start thinking

That i'm gonna believe

all that bullshit.

I couldn't go

to a hospital.

That would be

too hard for me.

I'll be fine.

I'm always fine.

Damn him.

Listen...

i really want to

talk to you

Some more

about this, ok?

No, I mean I really

want to talk to you,

And maybe even we can

sit grandfather down

And talk to him.

I'll talk to you,

not to him.

All right.

That's all right.

Sure you don't

want me to help?

Well, i'm gonna go wait

out on the back porch.

If arthur comes,

i'm gonna go ahead and leave.

See you later.

I'd like to have

a phone.

I would really like

to have a phone.

How about that game

on sunday, man?

It was pretty close.

It could have gone either way.

We put your phones

in upstairs

And left the phone books

up there for you.

Thank you.

Christina, shouting:

what do you think I am?

What do you

think I am?

Oh, i'm so sick of you!

I'm so sick of your attitude

towards me!

I'm important,

and i'm tired...

I'm tired of waiting

on that damn porch!

Don't give me that.

I don't want

to hear you say that!

I don't care where

you were this time.

Where were you last week?

Where were you

the week before that?

Do you think

i don't hear things?

I don't ever ask you,

now, do i?

Do I ever accuse you

of anything?

I know what you're doing!

I don't care.

I don't care!

A man and a woman

dancing.

This is a man

and a lady in bed?

Yeah.

It's only $4.98.

I sell

a lot of them.

T.J. Is here,

you know.

Let me put your bags

in your car for you.

I don't want

no money.

I just want to

help you, baby.

That's all I want.

snowcone?

Wosnowcone?

Oh, no snowcone.

How about a fudgicle?

I think

we're gonna be

A few minutes

making up our minds.

Maybe you better

take care of this man.

Do you have

ice cream sandwiches?

A sandwich? One?

Hello.

who is it,

honey?

Oh, jesus.

Do you have anything?

Uh...do you

have anything?

I only give to

organized charities.

He can't hear you,

you schmuck.

Jesus.

All right?

Come on.

Thank you.

Ha ha ha!

I mean, uh...

good luck.

Ok?

Wocall me when you know

where you'll be, ok?

As soon as I know,

i'll call, all right?

Don't do anything

i wouldn't do.

You know me

better than that.

Woman's voice:

Worichard?

Richard?

Woman's voice:

Martin.

Martin.

Echoing:
Martin...

Martin...

echoing:
Martin...

Who are you?

Oh, my god. Ah!

Look, let's not get

excited about this.

There's no reason to get

upset or anything, ok?

I don't know him!

Aah!

Are you all right?

He shot me

with something.

What did

he do to you?

I don't know

who he is.

Have you

seen him before?

He came to the door

one day.

He came to the door,

and he said he was deaf.

He shot me with something.

Better call somebody.

I can't call anybody!

You're not supposed

to be here!

I can't call the police.

Where did he go?

I don't know.

I'm not gonna go

out there and look.

Call somebody!

Lewis, I can't

call anybody!

You are not supposed

to be here!

What am i

supposed to do?

I don't care
