Vampire's Kiss Page #3

I'm the only one

who can put you out of your misery.

Tell me how much you love me, my angel.

Whisper it to me. Just once.

Please.

Just once.

I know you do.

I can read your mind, my love.

I can see it in your actions.

You can't get through the day

without thinking about me, can you?

Tell me you love me.

Tell me.

Yes.

Tell me how much you love me.

Yes.

Tell me.

I love you.

I love you.

That was so clever of you. "Mescaline."

How did you ever think of that?

I don't know.

But why should I be so surprised.

My little literary genius.

I knew you could keep

our passion a secret.

Sweet dreams, my angel.

What's that?

Wanna join me?

Well, absolutely, love.

Watch yourself.

Come on, now. Don't do that.

I have go to work.

Stop it now! Come on!

Thank God it's Friday.

That's all I've got to say.

All I'm gonna do this weekend

is stay home and sleep.

- This place is driving me crazy.

- Morning everyone.

Good morning.

I wonder what Alva's doing today.

- Yes, Mr. Loew?

- Judy, would you send Alva in here please?

She called in sick today.

Did she?

She said she had a very bad cold.

A bad cold.

Thanks, Judy.

A bad cold.

My, my, my.

I am not going to work today, Mommy.

My boss is a bastard.

Don't you use that kind of language

in front of me.

Well, it's true.

- I hate him.

- Yes, "I hate him, I hate him."

What do you think?

That's an excuse not to go to work?

You know how many people

hate their boss?

I hate my boss,

but do I stay home and cry about it?

I know. Mommy, but you...

Listen, young lady.

You can't afford to lose that job.

You'll get no more money

from your father and me.

I'll just get another job.

I'm late. Now, get dressed

and get your little ass into the city.

- No.

- Now!

What are you doing here?

What? I can hardly hear you

through this window.

What are you doing here?

I heard you were sick.

- A terrible cold.

- I'm calling the police.

Police?

I'm here to call a truce, man.

Look. I just took a $20 taxi ride

all the way up here...

so I could tell you I think it was wrong

the way I treated you yesterday.

Now, is that an elaborate

gesture or what?

Plus, look. Soup!

Hi.

I stayed till one in the morning

and I still couldn't find the contract.

Don't worry about it.

It's understandable. Really.

But I know how worried you were

about losing Mr. Heatherton as a client.

Right now what's most important

is your health.

Well, I'm...

You see, I'm not really sick.

It's just that...

Really, I was just afraid to go back

to the office without the contract.

I had a feeling that was the case.

And that's why I came all the way up here.

Because it's my fault you feel that way.

Oh, no.

I know you're trying

to run an efficient office...

That may be,

but some things just take time.

The way I feel is,

the hell with Frank Heatherton, you know?

If he wants to go

to another agency, fine.

So, what do you say?

You wanna come to work?

Door-to-door service, madam. On me.

Truce?

Okay.

Truce.

Just give me a few minutes.

I'll be right back.

It's horrible when there are tensions

between employer and employee.

Sometimes the pressures,

they just build up.

Wait till you get

into a position of authority.

Yeah.

I mean, you know, if I ever do.

You will. You're a very bright girl.

That's how I know that today, by God...

is the day you're gonna find

that damned Heatherton contract.

I thought you said that you didn't care

if Mr. Heatherton left the agency.

I mean, I thought you said that...

everything took time.

But that doesn't mean we're gonna stop

trying to do the best damn job we can.

The work's not just gonna go away.

It never just goes away.

That goddamn contract...

is somewhere

in those goddamn f***ing files.

- Are you all right?

- Shut up, b*tch.

Mr. Loew...

I was supposed to give some money

to my brother, and...

he works in that gas station over there.

Do you think it's okay

if we stop for a second?

Yeah.

Emilio?

Come on to the back.

Don't take it so hard, sis.

"If you got the time to lean,

you got the time to clean."

It's the same all around.

Old Man Randolph,

he throws fits all the time.

Yeah? Well, listen to me, okay?

This guy is very weird. I'm telling you.

You all right, pal?

That's my baby.

Your...

wife?

15 years, keeps me going.

There is work and there is love.

Am right?

You are married man?

Remember this?

I want you to give me bullets for it.

- Put that away.

- Why?

- Are you crazy?

- I'm not.

You gave it to me.

What good is it if I can't use it?

What's good is it'll scare the sh*t

out of them if any motherf***er...

comes close enough to spit on you.

Look, you ain't even supposed

to be carrying this thing around.

Please? I'm asking you, Emilio.

Where is that little c*nt?

Look.

Randolph don't even keep

real bullets in his gun.

But what about the robbery?

When those Spics came here to rob?

He scared them off with blanks.

That's all he has here is blanks.

Then give me the f***ing blanks.

Fine.

$44.50 only.

F***ing cleaned me right out.

Crazy Jesus.

I just shelled out almost fifty bucks

to get you back here.

You better hope

you make it worth it to me.

Christ.

Christ, where am I?

I've become one. A vampire.

Oh, God.

Oh, God, where am I?

You're in the goddamn crapper,

and I'm trying to take a dump.

Either shut up and leave the acting lessons

for home or go back to the ladies' room.

Arthur Hesse on 0-1.

Tell him I'm out.

In fact, tell anyone who calls I'm out.

- I'm in a meeting.

- Are you all right?

- Tell him I'm in a meeting.

- Yes, Mr. Loew.

It's impossible.

It can't be.

Mr. Loew? I found the contract.

Mr. Loew, I found it.

Mr. Loew.

I found the contract.

I never found

the right woman, that's all.

There's work and there's love.

Am right?

I found the contract.

I finally found...

Well...

it's just too late.

- But why is it too late?

- It's too late.

- It's not too late.

- Too late!

It's not too late.

Stay away!

- It's too late, Alva. It's all too late.

- Oh, my God.

Come here!

Stay away!

Stay away!

- Do it.

- I will.

Do it, Alva.

I swear to God I will.

Do it or I'll fire you.

Do you understand?

Unemployment. Can you live with that?

Please.

Do it, goddamn it!

Please. Don't rape me.

Rape you? I will.

Come on.

Shoot.

Not the floor. Me!

Stay away!

Me!

Damn it! Help me!

- Don't, please.

- You're fired!

Oh, God!

You're with me now, angel.

I'm a vampire.

A real vampire.

I'm a vampire!

Not hungry.

Well, Well...

You're with me now.

You're completely with me.

You're like me now, my angel.

You know what you have to do.

Alva?

What's the matter with you?

Come on, now. Breakfast is on the table.

Leave me alone.

Don't know.

She don't want to get out of bed.

She's tired, I guess.

- She go out last night?

- I don't know.

She didn't get in that late.

She went right into her room.

Alvie?

You awake?

You all right?

Go away.

I'll be at the station today,
