a butter-cream frosting.

That's what I'm hoping for.

Do you want me to save you a

piece?

Alice?

Yes.

Dizziness?

Yes.

Fever?

Yes.

And memory lapses...

Huh, stomach pain loss of

appetite?

Yes.

Ok, were gonna need to run a

few tests.

I'll have the receptionist call

you in a day or two.

Whats wrong with me?

At this point, there are lots

of possibilities.

When I get the blood work back

we'll know more.

So this could just be a really

bad hangover?

Should it be?

That's the thing, I...

I can't seem to remember.

My memory's a little foggy.

Well, just try and get some

rest.

Thank you.

Hello.

We really have to do something

about this heat.

How did you...

I'm special.

But you already knew that.

Look I'm, I'm sorry, is there

something

I can do for you miss?

Doctors can't help you.

Are you following me?

Ya know,

you pull off decomposition very

well, I must say.

It's cute and vile all at the

same time.

It's very sexy.

I know it's silly but I missed

you

and I'm sure you missed me too.

Look I'm sorry.

I don't know who you think I am

or what you suppose

happened between us but you're

imagining it.

Please leave me alone.

You're dying inside.

Every little organ is slowly

giving out,

one by one by one.

You're experiencing life in a

way

you never thought possible,

sounds are heightened,

reflexes faster,

touch,

taste,

smell...

Wow look what the cat dragged

in,

I have missed you.

Three shots of Ouzo.

I'm sorry I didn't mean...

I'm just...

You're not going anywhere.

I'm sorry if you think me rude.

I'm just not that good with

strangers.

What is that perfume you're

wearing?

I'm not wearing any perfume.

Alice, have you ever been with

a woman?

You have such a sad, sad look on

your face.

Jess, leave her alone.

So like a man Clive.

Uninspired.

So this is what we're going to

do.

Your gonna take this,

and then you're coming with me.

See that wasn't so bad.

You are so soft.

What the hell this is my house,

how did you?

We have to do something

about that memory of yours.

Of course, gallivanting around

outside all day

hasn't helped.

You still have a lot to learn.

What in God's name are you?

God?

God has nothing to do with this.

I was the one that took a sad,

pitiful,

meaningless girl and turned her

into something truly

spectacular;

And now it's your turn

to return the favor.

On one hand you can become a

rotting corpse

and on another...

a god among men.

Oh my God, are you insane?

Drink.

Have you listened to yourself?

Have you looked at yourself?

Go on take a look.

You have minutes...

seconds left on this earth.

Last night I gave you a vial,

but it's not

enough to change you, not

completely.

Oh my God.

Oh my God, oh my God, am I going

insane?

Why couldn't you just leave me

alone to die?

I could have.

But for crying out loud.

There, there.

Maybe you weren't special in

this world.

Maybe you weren't loved the way

you needed to be loved.

But you can be with me.

"House of the Risin' Sun"

You've done this before.

You are the only thing I'm

thinking about.

I want you so bad don't be

afraid.

Alice,

why weren't you at work?

I've been calling you.

Jess, please. Let him go.

What the hell?

Alice are you okay?

Listen to me, if you've hurt

her...

You're pretty.

I would have expected you to be

taller.

You're kind of cute.

All talk no bite.

Jess, don't please.

Something I forgot to mention

how is it that humans

don't know we exist?

It's strange right?

See anytime one finds out,

they cease to exist.

That's it.

Do you feel the hunger

growing inside of you?

It will only grow and grow until

you drink.

Charlie...

You're a monster

Watch

How powerful is a kiss?

A blending of the minds.

Charlie dear, why don't you

go lie down you look tired.

But I want to be near you.

Go.

Yes, of course.

Charlie... Charlie...

Alright.

Charlie.

Charlie.

It's amazing.

It's sexy isn't it.

Power.

So what happens now?

We drink his blood and then

what?

Do we live together forever?

Well, yes.

Except you will drink.

He's too common for my taste.

Inbred spoiled brats like him

have such thin blood.

Past this puritanical disguise

I know your true nature.

We will be the perfect match.

Yes but I don't want to

hurt the people I love.

Oh, for crying out loud, Alice.

How long are you going to keep

this up.

Theo? Theo?

You... You ate my cat?

Yes.

When we got back I was in the

mood

for something sweet.

Oh, so you can eat my cat

but you can't eat my boyfriend?

Are you really surprised?

You know we can do this all day,

we have an eternity to work

things out.

Right now, we have a boy that

needs draining

and I really think it would be

better for both of us

if you did it before he was

fully conscious.

Don't you?

You're right.

You've been right all along.

I don't know what's wrong with

me.

I shouldn't be fighting you.

I should be grateful to you.

You saved me.

I always knew you would come

around.

You are different.

I knew it from the moment we

met.

Yes, we will always be together.

Yes, we'll always be together.

I love you so bad.

It's ok.

"When Summer Is Through"

"Hand In Mine"

So what's a nice guy like you

doing in a place like this?

What do you say you and I get

out of here?

Ya hey!

Wow! Wow, wow...

Now, as we always do, we shall

discuss.

Ladies?

What do you mean?

How can you say that?

Your opinions are so whacky.

I think we've had enough of your

negativity.

Whoa, whoa, Jesus Christ.

Sorry.

I'm so sorry you had to see

that.

Okay. Put the gun down now,

psycho.

Okay?

Oops.

Yeah.

Oh, pointing loaded guns at

people is rude.

Yeah.

Okay, I'm just going to walk out

of here now.

Okay? Nice and slow, I'm just

going to...

No.

No, wait.

You're supposed to stay.

You're supposed to give me a

kiss,

a kiss of true love.

I knew this was going to

happen.

Yep.

Okay, listen, lady.

This is too much for me, okay?

The creepy theater, the old

movie,

talking to dolls.

I mean, at first I was like,

"Hey, cool costume.

Nice ass. Maybe I could hit

that."

You know?

Okay, look.

Look, if you want to we can

still

go back to my place and get it

on.

Just not in front of the freak

show

you got going on over here.

So what do you say?

We get a nice bottle of booze,

go back to my place, put on a

little...

Dirty, dirty, nasty boy.

And to think I thought you could

give me

my first kiss.

Help!

Oh.

Help me!

No, no, you keep bleeding.

You're a very, very bad man.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, thanks, Neddy.

It's okay.

I double booked just in case

things didn't work out.

Wolfboy,

go get the chainsaw

and the trash bags.

Do you mind if I snacked a bit

first?

We rarely get meals so fresh.

This is true.

Oh, go ahead.

He's here early.

Hello?

Hello?

Welcome.

My, my, my.

What perfection.

It's an amazing look.

These look so real.

You're so cold.

Do you need a jacket or a cape?

I have something to show you.
