Embrace of the Vampire (1995)

[bunniefuu]

[crickets chirping]

I was in love once
when I was a man.

That time is now
a mist in my mind.

She was a maid to royalty
and I was a nobleman.

At the end of day, we would meet
in our secret place.

[birds chirping]

My love,

my virgin.

The sadness I felt
each time she left.

If only I had known
that day would be our last.

- [insects chirping]
- [frogs croaking]

[gasping]

[thunder rumbles]

[shouts]

[gasping]

[shouts]

[screams]

[thunder crashing]

The pain of loneliness
without her.

- [thunder crashes]
- [bell tolling]

And now...

after centuries,

having drank blood enough
to fill a thousand lakes,

in this place,

this small college,

I have found her soul again.

I have found her.

But my time in this world
is coming to an end.

ln three days, I will fall
into eternal sleep.

Only her soul can save me.

My virgin...

my elixir.

But she loves another.

I will put doubt in their minds.

Then I will take her
when her heart is not his.

Eternal life will be her prize.

Three days.

I can't be weak.

I choose survival.

I'll destroy anyone
who stands in my way,

even my own heart if need be.

[echoing]
She's mine!

[thunder crashes]

Vampire:
Charlotte...

come to me.

[clock ticking]

[Vampire echoing]
I'm waiting for you, Charlotte.

[phone ringing]

- I'm waiting.
- [ringing continues]

Come to me.

- [phone beeps]
- [recording] Hi, this is Charlotte.

I'm either in a lecture
or studying somewhere,

so leave me a message,

and I'll call you back
as soon as I get back.

[over phone] Charlotte, it's Chris.
Are you there?

Pick up, Charlotte.

- Charlotte, it's me.
- Vampire: Come to me.

Chris: Look, Charlotte,
I'm going to come by.

I'm worried about you, okay?

Vampire:
Come to me, Charlotte.

Chris: Charlotte,
I'm coming over. Bye.

[thunder crashes]

Vampire:
Come to me.

I'm waiting for you, Charlotte.

Come to me, Charlotte.

[door creaks]

Vampire:
Charlotte...

come to me.

[door creaking]

Charlotte.

I'm here.

[kisses]

But I can't just reach out
and take her.

She must desire me

before I empty her life
into my throat

and take back the love
I lost so long ago.

[thunder crashes]

I feel it in your heart...

love--

that so-called gift to mankind.

- [Charlotte whimpers]
- My bite would free you.

[whimpers]

I could destroy him...

but that would break your heart.

Love is a bond
between two halves.

I'll give you time,

time to see how fragile
that bond is...

as much time as I have.

[Vampire's voice]
Three days.

[distant dog barking]

Charlotte.

[moans]

[clock ticking]

[birds chirping]

[bell tolling]

Chris?

Hi.

What are you doing here?

Um...

are you okay?

Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?

Because I picked you up
off the stairs last night outside.

Outside?

Yeah.
You don't remember?

[sighs]
I thought I was dreaming.

Well, I wasn't.

What were you doing there?

Well, I know it sounds
kind of stupid,

but I thought you were
in some kind of danger last night.

I did. I was--
I was worried, that's all.

I was just worried about you.
It's my job to worry about you.

I guess it's going to take
a bit more than I thought

to get used to this place.

Yeah.

lt was nice to wake up beside you.

Chris, don't.

[sighs]

I'm sorry.

Please don't be mad.

I'm not mad.

[sighs]

That's not true. I am mad,
but I'm not mad at you.

I'm mad at your mom for letting
those nuns bring you up like one.

Let's not start on that again,
okay, Chris?

Will you turn around?

You know she didn't have a choice.

Well, let's just put the knives
in your father's back

where they belong.

Yeah, that might be
more appropriate.

You know, I can't help
wishing you had inherited

a little bit of his promiscuity.

Yeah, but look where it got him.

[sighs] I wish I'd seen him
at least once before he died,

but he was alone, and I don't
want that to happen to me.

lt won't.

You're going to be surrounded
by our kids and our grandkids.

Can we not talk
about dying, please?

Sure.

I prefer birth-related
subjects anyhow.

You can turn around now.

Tell me something.

Why can't two people who care
about each other so much

and love each other so much
express it?

We express it all the time, Chris.

- Help me with my cross.
- You know what I mean.

Here.

I never actually said
that I intended to wait

until I was married, you know.

You didn't?

No.

I said that I would make love
to the right man

when he came along
and I was old enough to know.

And I'm not the right man?

I think you are.

You think I am?

We've been together a year
and about two months,

- and you think I am?
- [laughs]

Well, I think age
has a lot to do with it.

Charlotte.
Hey, Chris.

What are you doing here?

- [chuckles]
- Never mind.

- Stupid question.
- Hi, Nicole.

Hi. Are we still going
to the bookstore?

Yeah. I'm just going
to walk Chris to his car.

All right. I'll meet you
downstairs in five minutes.

Okay.

- Hey, Chris.
- Yes?

- You're looking good!
- [laughs]

[Chris clears throat]

As we were saying...

What were we saying again?

- We-- thank you.
- You're welcome.

We were talking about
the coming of age

and when you think you'll be able
to make love to me.

- Oh, right, right.
- Okay.

ln many parts of the world,


the coming of age.

- I know.
- Okay, well, in three days,

you're going to have
your 18th birthday.

I know!

[laughs]

- Bye.
- Bye.

Bye.

[bell tolling]

[clock ticking]

[bell tolling]

Vampire:
You think you are in love,

that you are fortunate.

You think love
is a cherished gift.

You're wrong.

It's a blight and a curse.

lt divides and weakens our power.

[distant dog barking]

[sizzling]

[gasps]

You forgot my gift.

[thunder crashes]

Charlotte.

It's a beautiful name.

[kisses]

- Spend eternity with me.
- No.

You're strong.

[moaning]

Let's be one.

- [bell tolling]
- [Charlotte winces]

[gasps]

[tolling continues]

Each hour that passes
weakens me more.

Two days left.

- Hey, Charlotte.
- Hi.

You know Charlotte,
right, Eliza?

- Sure.
- Where you headed?

My room. I have some studying
to catch up on.

- Yo, Eliza.
- Yo yourself, Rob.

Am I going to see you tonight?

Are you?

Come on, Eliza.

If I'm in the mood.

I'll get you in the mood.

Why, are you going to slip
something into my drink?

[laughs]
If I have to.

Well, nothing else
will work, believe me.

You're such an as*h*le,
you know that?

And you love it.

See you tonight, then?

I love those eyes.
Don't you just love those eyes?

Is that your boyfriend?

Well, I don't know
if I'd call him my boyfriend,

but he serves his purpose.

Oh, my God, tell her about
the answering machine.

You are going to die
when you hear this.

- Oh, please.
- Come on, tell her.

All right, never mind.
I'll tell her.

Okay, the first night that Eliza
and old Robbie hook up,

they get smashed at McGee's
and go back to the dorm.

- I was in complete control.
- Yeah, right.

Anyway, Eliza comes in
and hits her answering machine,

thinking she's got
all these messages.

Only, she hits the wrong button,

and instead of pressing
the play button,

she was recording a new message.

- Stupid machine.
- Yeah.

Well, anyway, maybe Eliza
hit the wrong button,

but Rob was hitting
all the right ones,

and Eliza is a real screamer.

So Eliza's going,
"Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Do me! Do me! f*ck me, stud!
f*ck me harder!"

And the whole thing
is being recorded on the machine.

So the next day,
anybody who called

got that sex tape
played back as a greeting.

My mother said she nearly
had a heart attack.

I mean, she's so melodramatic.

It's not like she doesn't know
I have sex or anything.

She buys me the pills,
for Christ's sake.

Isn't that hysterical?

- Charlotte?
- Yeah.

Oh, why look so shocked?

I heard you were raised
in a convent, right?

Everyone knows
Catholic school girls

- give the best head.
- Eliza.

What?

I've seen your boyfriend.

And don't tell me he gets off
by just looking at you.

That's enough, Eliza.

- [laughs]
- Could you just relax?

Look, Charlotte lives her life,

you live your life,
I live my life,

and nobody makes
any judgments, okay?

Who's judging?
[laughs]

Wait up, Charlotte!

Sorry about Eliza.

She does have
a good side, I think.

You didn't let her
get to you, did you?

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

Just my mind keeps wandering.

I keep daydreaming about
these really stupid things.

Does that ever happen to you?

Me? No, I don't daydream,

except about sex
and beautiful men and sex.

I just can't seem to stay focused.

Well, maybe something's
distracting you.

Is everything okay with Chris?

Yeah.

You're probably just having trouble
adjusting to the freedom.

I wasn't brought up in jail.

I mean, the nuns
were pretty cool

and I got to spend one weekend
a month with my mother.

You were lucky.

I had to spend every day
with my parents.

[Charlotte laughs]

Nicole: You just need to relax.
You know, have a little fun.

Fun. You remember fun,
don't you?

[pop music playing
over radio]

- Hey, girls.
- Hi.

Would you look at that?

Sarah's at it again.

And in broad daylight.

Ooh, nice pecs.

Oh, my God.
He's gorgeous.

Where does she find them?

[laughs]
What nerve.

What a sl*t!

That's not very nice.

So what?

- She might hear you.
- Who cares?

She has a different model
in there every night.

But still, it's...

Oh, this is cute.

The campus virgin
defending the campus nympho?

[scoffs]

Why can't you cut her some slack?

- Oh, give me a break.
- No, give her a break.

This is all new to her and she's having
a rough time adjusting,

so would you just go easy--

If she can't take it,
that's not my problem.

She needs to get laid.

Knock, knock.

What is it?

I can't find my cross.

- The one that Chris gave you?
- Yeah. I have no idea where it is.

Well, did you have it on
this morning when you left?

I don't know.

I don't think I did.

Okay, then it's got
to be here somewhere.

- Let's just look.
- Okay.

I wore this yesterday.

- Maybe it's in here.
- What's this?

- I don't know.
- You don't know?

I've never seen it before.

You've never seen it before?
Well, how'd it get in your room?

I don't know.

But I've dreamt about this.

You dreamt about it?

You've never seen it before,
but you've dreamt about it.

[laughs]

Yeah, I know it sounds weird.

What kind of dream?

[laughs]

lt was, uh...

- What?
- A man was wearing it.

- Not Chris?
- No, not Chris.

Who?

You'll laugh.

No, I won't.
You know me.

I have weird dreams
all the time.

I think he was a vampire.

A vampire?
Cool.

And you had sex with him?

No, but I think he wanted to.

Well, maybe someone's trying
to tell you something.

You know, I mean, maybe
you should look around,

play the field a little bit,
check out some other guys.

- Oh, please, Nicole. I--
- [bell tolling]

What, you think Chris
doesn't look at other girls?

- He does not.
- Yes, he does.

All guys do.
They can't help it.

It's a chemical, hormonal,

you know, as*h*le kind of thing.

Ah! Almost forgot the party.

[tolling continues]

Hey! Do you hear me?

[laughs] I think you need
some loosening up.

Come on.

No, I need an A in art history.
I have to study tonight.

What you need is to go to this party,
and we'll look for your cross later.

My cross.

- Do we really have to go?
- Yes.

Remember
what I was saying? Fun.

It's going to do you some good.

Come on, for me, please?

I want to get there
before all the cute guys are taken.

- Mm-hmm.
- Okay, let's go

- Come on.
- Wait. Do I look okay?

Yeah, you look amazing.
Come on.

[rock music playing]

Will you come on?

[music blaring]

This is going to be great.

- What's wrong?
- I should be studying.

You need to lighten up.

Come on.
Nobody's going to bite you.

- Hi, guys.
- Hey, come on up.

Look, you go get a drink, and I'm going
to go see what I can dig up.

Be good.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Enjoying yourself?

Well, I just got here,
but it seems like a pretty cool party.

lt sucks.

But, hey, what else is going on?

You want something to drink?

Actually, I would love a soda.

Carbonation. Cool.

[mouthing words]

Have fun.

Thank you.

My name's Milo.

Hi, I'm Charlotte.

Charlotte.

I like that.

Nice ankh.

Excuse me?

Around your neck.

It's an ankh.

[laughs]

It's an ancient Egyptian symbol
for eternal life.

They believed it had...

sexual powers.

I figured you were being retro--

you know, the '60s coming back
and all that.

[Charlotte laughs]
No, no.

- Milo: You wear it well.
- Thank you.

Eliza:
There you are, Milo.

You're not spending
near enough time with me.

You're supposed to be protecting me
from that horny toad Rob.

Eliza, you know Charlotte?

Hello, Charlotte.

Nice to see you.

We were just talking
about ankhs.

Ankhs?
Oh, my favorite subject.

Hey, Milo, you got any smokes?

I'm absolutely dying.

Which kind?

Oh, now that's
a silly question, isn't it?

Oh, yes.
Follow me.

You want to come, Charlotte?

Eliza:
I doubt it.

No, I'll catch you later.

That's cool.

[giggles]

[music fades]

[door creaking]

[crickets chirping]

I love the view from here.

lt reminds me of a place far away.

Do I know you?

We might have met once...

a long time ago, perhaps.

What are you doing here?

Waiting.

I've seen you before

in a dream.

[distant dog howling]

[barking]

lt wasn't a dream.

Why are you haunting me?

Who are you?

I'm your destiny.

It's my gift.

You've cut yourself.

[vampire gasping]

Someone just told me
that it has powers.

lt does.

That's its power.

Hey, Charlotte, what are you
doing out here alone?

- Where did he go?
- Who?

- He was just here.
- Who?

I don't know.

Did I interrupt something?

He was just here,

the man from my dream.

That's great, Charlotte,

but there's someone
I want you to meet.

Come on, I think you've had
a little bit too much fresh air.

- [rock music playing]
- Nicole: Relax.

These guys are cool.

We're just going
to go to the old gym

for a little bit of privacy.

Okay, this is not a big deal,

and nothing is going to happen

that you don't want to, okay?

See you.
[giggles]

Do you bring all your dates here?

Only the cute ones.
[laughs]

Well...

let's see here.

- Hey, how you doing?
- Who are you?

Jonathan,
and you must be Charlotte.

- What do you want?
- Oh, don't worry about it.

- You'll get it.
- Get off.

- Hey, stop. You'll like it.
- Get off me!

What's your problem?

- Get off me.
- Stop.

Leave her alone.

b*tch.

[yelling]

[bones crack]

[chuckles]

- [gasping]
- What? What--

[yells]

[yelling]

- [yelling continues]
- Charlotte is pure.

I need her to stay that way.

[bats squeaking]

[heart beating]

[bird squawks]

Charlotte?

[Charlotte giggles]

Chris.

[echoing]
Charlotte!

- Charlotte!
- I'm here, Chris.

No.

No!

- No!
- [gasps]

[ringing]

[phone ringing]

Hello?

You're there?

Where else would I be?

I just wanted to hear your voice.

I almost called you before
for the same reason.

Why didn't you?

I guess I thought
you were sleeping.

I guess I'm less considerate
than you.

I'm glad you called.

Me too.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Okay.

Um...

good night, and...

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Can't wait.

[dial tone]

[bell tolling]

[ballad playing over jukebox]

[door closes]

How you doing?

Um, just a coffee.

You think what you need
to learn in life,

you can get from books, huh?

That's what my dad says.

Look, I don't mean
to be rude or anything,

but I came here to study.

Yeah.

I couldn't sleep either.

You know, usually, I like
to write at this time,

but I wasn't in the mood.

You're a good-looking guy.

[laughs]

Look, I'm--
I'm not g*y or anything.

I just came down here
to study alone.

Got it?

Yeah.
Come on, I can tell.

You're in love.
She's beautiful.

Am I right?

Yeah, you're right.

You know, I think trust
is such an essential part of love.

I mean, what do you think?

Do you trust her
when you're not with her?

Like, I mean,
completely trust her?

[distant siren blaring]

[laughs]

You don't have to say.
I know it's hard.

It's hard to love
when there is doubt.

lt was nice talking to you,
but I got to go.

Don't you always want
to know where she is?

What she's doing?

Like who she's talking to?

Is that love

or is that doubt?

It's love.

[Vampire's voice]
Love.

I always have
the same dream.

I see her riding to meet me.

I am waiting,
but she never gets there.

If I had not loved her, that pain
would not have followed me

into this death I now live in.

If only I had doubted her,

I could have found
a reason to heal my loss.

Doubt is the key, Charlotte.

Doubt will help you come to me.

This is my gift to you.

[gasps]

Charlotte:
Chris.

[gasping]

Chris.

[both laughing]

I'm not going to wait
forever, Charlotte.

[bell tolling]

[clock ticking]

Vampire:
My love...

one more day.

[birds squawking, chirping]

[camera shutter clicks]

[laughs] Sorry.
I hope you don't mind.

It's okay.
No, it's all right.

You look really sad today,
sort of waiflike.

I like it.
It's interesting.

You're Sarah, right?

- Yeah.
- I'm Charlotte.

I know.
[laughs]

May I sit down?

Sure.
Go ahead.

You always study this early?

I wish I could call it studying.

[bell tolling]

- First year, right?
- Yeah.

It's always the hardest.

- I hope so.
- [laughs]

- So, uh...
- [both laugh]

is this a major or a hobby?

This is a major hobby.

[laughing]

I didn't get much sleep last night.

Maybe you should
put the books away

and stop staring at the tower.

You, um-- you want to come
see my work?

That's great.

- Let me just put this away.
- I like your outfit.

Oh, yeah, it's kind of cool.

- But I like what you're wearing.
- You do? Thanks.

Oh, this is just an old shirt.
I've had it for years.

- I like that.
- Cameras, they're just--

I spend my money
on my material, not clothes.

[door creaks]

[footsteps clicking]

Wow.

- Are these all yours?
- Uh-huh.

- Are they all your friends?
- [laughs] Some of them.

They all look so beautiful.

They are.

You're beautiful.

- [laughs] Me?
- Mm-hmm.

No, not like them.

They all look so perfect.

Well, they're not innocent,

and they're certainly not virginal.

[both laugh]

- Am I that transparent?
- [laughs]

Want a cigarette?

They're cloves.
You'll like them.

Flavor's really nice.

Like it?

Okay, I guess.

Here, take them.

- Oh, no, it's okay.
- You're sure?

Okay.

You like that picture?

[pop music playing]

Oh, it's nice there.
Stand a bit back.

[camera shutter clicks]

Is this where
they usually stand?

Sometimes.
[laughing]

Only if they want to.

You mind if I take
some pictures of you?

- No, go ahead.
- You're not shy, are you?

Close your mouth.

[camera shutter clicks]

Sit down. Let me take
some pictures there.

Cute teddy bears.

That's nice.

Would you mind unbuttoning
your overalls a little

and just taking them down a bit?

Do you mind?

That's better.

You've got beautiful skin.

Your hair's so soft.

Would you like to lay back?

Could you--
could you lean back more?

- You feel comfortable?
- Yeah, I'm okay.

Beautiful. My God.

Yeah, that's good.

It's hot.

[pop music continues]

I'm sorry.

I've got to go.

[door opens]

- Don't you ever knock?
- Man: What for, man?

You never have anything
going on in here anyway.

- That's changing tonight.
- Cool.

Who's the lucky girl tonight?

Why are you always
cleaning up in here

just before
Charlotte comes over?

Because she likes it that way.

Chris, you're so whipped.

I'm not whipped, okay?

Get up.
I got to make my bed.

You're going to die
of blue ba*ls, man.

- I'm not-- oh, hold on.
- [phone rings]

- Hello?
- Charlotte: Chris, it's me.

Hey. Where are you?

[sighs]
Don't be mad.

I-- I really need
to stay here tonight.

- Chris?
- Well, I thought we had this plan.

I know, but I--
I really need to study.

Charlotte,
it's your birthday tomorrow.

I'll be over tomorrow.

I promise.

Well, I just--

you know, I wanted
to be the first one

to wish you a happy birthday

and wake up next to you,
you know,

and the stuff we planned then.

ls--

is it the sex thing?

Am I pushing it too hard?
'Cause it doesn't matter.

I'm just-- I'm joking
most of the time, okay?

I just-- I want to be with you
wherever or whenever.

[sighs]

It's not that, Chris.

Look, I'll come over right now.

I'll sleep on your floor tonight.
I won't touch you.

I really need to study
alone tonight, Chris.

Okay?

I'll call you when I'm done.

[clock ticking]

Well, I thought we were
a straight-A student.

I was until I came here.

Have you seen Nicole?

Nicole? Oh, I thought
we made a new friend.

And what is that
supposed to mean?

Nothing. I just saw you
come out of Sarah's room

wearing nothing but fingerprints.

You should really just mind
your own damn business.

Oh, don't get prissy
with me, missy.

This is a painting
of Venus and Mars.

Botticelli has captured
the moment

just after these two
mythological deities

have consummated
their divine relationship.

In other words,
they've just had sex.

[students laugh]

The two lovers are surrounded
by young horned satyrs,

the male counterpart
to the nymphs.

These satyrs carry a rod,
which points at...

Vampire: So you decided
to stay this weekend?

Please leave me alone.

I can't.

I've tried.

The need in me to survive
is too strong.

I need you.

What do you want from me?

I want to stay in this world.

I don't want to go to sleep.

Leave me alone.

Professor: Paintings of Botticelli
clearly show the influence

of the Neoplatonic cult.

Neoplatonists believed
that the soul

could ascend toward a union
with the divine

through the contemplation
of earthly beauty.

Would he die for you?

Go away!

- [lecture stops]
- [students murmur]

Is there a problem
back there, Miss Wells?

I'm sorry.

- [students chuckle]
- Thank you.

"La Primavera" is also known
as "The Rites of Spring..."

Is he worth your love?

Would you die for him?

Midnight ends my final hour.

There will be no emotion
in my heart,

no weakness.

You will want me.

I will take you.
Be sure of that!

Charlotte:
Stop!

- Whoa.
- [students chuckling]

- Woman: She's trippin'.
- [students murmuring]

Woman #2:
What?

[laughing]

Nicole?

Nicole.

Hi.

Have you seen Nicole?

No.

Um...

I'm really sorry about this morning.

[laughs]
It's okay.

Let me see the pictures
when they're done.

Yeah?

- Okay.
- Bye.

- [crickets chirping]
- [dog barking]

[clock ticking]

[Charlotte moans]

- [gasps]
- It's me.

I was dreaming.

You look like you saw a ghost.

What are you doing here?

Well, I had to see you,

so I knocked,
but nobody answered.

I just thought
I'd wait in here for you.

You look sick, honey.
Are you okay?

I'm fine.

What's going on between us?

[sighs]

Charlotte, where's the cross
I gave you?

I took it off.

I didn't take it off.
I lost it.

Then why didn't you just say that?

I don't know.

Well, you know, you don't have
any reason to lie to me.

I don't lie, okay?

Maybe you're the one
who lies to me.

What's that mean?

Nothing.

I don't know what I'm saying.

You have never
talked to me like this.

I mean, why aren't you
communicating with me?

I want to communicate.

I-- I just don't
understand it myself.

Well, is there something else?

I mean, is there someone else
that you can't--

Now you're being ridiculous.

Am I?

Then how come you're never
in your room when I call?

Don't tell me
you're studying somewhere,

because your grades
would be higher.

There's no one else.

Then it's just me?

I want you to leave.

This is not what
love's about, Charlotte.

It's not my understanding
of it, anyway.

Why don't you call me...

if you want to.

[chatter, music playing]

I shouldn't have left her, man.

I should have just talked it out.

She wouldn't talk to me,
though, you know?

- You're right.
- She wouldn't say anything.

She was, like,
not communicating with me.

- She's never been like that.
- You're right.

See, the thing is
is that I love her.

I love her so deeply, so much.

Mark, I really love this girl
way too much.

You know what?

You're not helping me, Mark.

You're right.

Man.

I'm going to call her.

I think you should
spend five minutes

not thinking about her.

You're right.

Do I know you?

I don't-- I don't think so.

Perhaps we met in another life.

[chuckles]
One of those, huh? I don't--

Buy me a drink?

Well, sure.

Miss, she can't--
what do you want?

- Bloody Mary.
- Bloody Mary.

- My name's Marika.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- I'm Chris.

Pleasure.

Are you from around here?

- No.
- Where are you from?

I'm from everywhere.

Well, I never been to everywhere,

so I don't think that we could
have met there, so...

- You smell good.
- Oh.

You want to dance?

Nah, I'm not a really good dancer.

Come on, dance with me.

Come on.

I'll teach you.

Okay.

[wind blowing]

[clock ticking]

Charlotte.

Is he worth your love?

Sweet innocence.

You will want me.

I'm your destiny.

You're mine.

[knock on door]

Nicole?

[hip-hop music blaring]

Wow.

Charlotte.

You're looking mighty fine.

Mighty fine.

You think so?

Milo:
Absolutely.

You thirsty?

You pouring?

Charlotte, I just love that dress.

You don't know how happy
that makes me.

Want some wine?

Sure.

Oh, it's not blessed.
That okay?

Not bad.

Want some more?

Thank you.

Milo:
Aren't you going to share, Eliza?

No.

Why not?

I slipped X in her drink.

[laughs]

Eliza, that's really irresponsible.

Shh.

[laughter echoes]

[music grows louder]

[Eliza laughing]

[rock music playing]

[woman laughing]

Man: Yeah.

Aren't you tired of all of this?

Let me take you away from here.

[laughter echoing]

[growls]

[women laughing]

[snarling]

Vampire:
Charlotte.

I need you.

Save me.

What's a good-looking man like you
doing without a date?

[chuckles]

That's-- it's funny you should ask.

You like me, Chris?

Sure.

Do you want to get to...

know me better?

Are you drunk, Chris?

No, just a little.

A little?

I think I know what you need.

Oh, you do, huh?

Yes, I do.

Well, what would that be?

Follow me and find out.

Marika:
Come on.

- [panting]
- Come on, Chris.

Did that hurt?

A little bit.

Why don't you kiss it
and make it feel better?

Forget her, Chris.

Forget her.

[echoing]
Forget her.

Doubt her and there'll be
no pain when she's gone.

Forget her.

Doubt will remove all pain, Chris.

Forget her.

- Doubt her.
- I can't.

- I'm sorry. I can't.
- Yes, you can.

- No.
- Yes.

- Come here. Stop.
- Chris. Chris.

- No.
- No, darling. Chris.

Chris: No.

[hisses]

[crickets chirping]

[clock ticking]

[door opens, creaks]

Hi.

Hello, Sarah.

I came by to see if you were okay.

You don't look so good.

To tell you the truth,
I've never felt better.

Well...

you seem different.

How?

Before, you seemed
like a little girl,

and now you're acting
like a wild woman.

[laughs]

Why do you think that is?

Maybe it's the stars.

See?

Did you know that Venus,
the planet of love,

is reflecting the sun 10 times more
than the moon tonight?

Is it?

- Mm-hmm.
- Really?

Mm-hmm.

Ow.

[chuckles]

I'm sorry.

Did I hurt you?

Have you come to see
if I'm okay too, Milo?

Well, yeah.

I mean, you were taking
a pretty heavy trip back there.

And what do you want to do
to make me feel better?

Me?

Well, uh...

I don't know.

Come on, Milo.

What's on your mind?

Honesty will get you
everywhere.

Well, I can think of one thing.

Well, well, didn't we soon change
into a little wh*re?

You didn't fool me.

You can have him.

I don't want him.

Get out of here, Milo,
and take that b*tch with you.

Who are you calling a b*tch?

I'm out of here.

Is that the best you can do?

I haven't even started.

You're nothing
but a prissy little b*tch.

[door closes]

I'm sorry.

Open the f*cking door,
you f*cking c**t!

Open it!

I'm going to k*ll you,
you f*cking b*tch!

Open it!

[banging]

[gasping, banging]

[bangs, squishes]

[bell tolls]

[clock ticking]

[gasping]

[hissing]

Vampire:
Time is running out.

You're alone now, Charlotte.

There's nothing left for you here.

[echoing]
Come to me.

[wind howling]

[echoing]
Be with me.

[woman moaning]

[woman laughs]

[tires screech]

[distant dog barking]

[door creaks]

[creaks]

Charlotte.

[hisses]

Leave.

All you will find is death here.

Will you die for her?

She does not know you.

You can't take her from me.

[groans]

Leave us alone.

[both groaning]

[bell tolling]

[gasping]

Chris.

No.

Don't think of him.

Think of us.

Hear me, Charlotte.

Want us.

Us.

Chris.

[kisses]

You can't take his love
to eternity with you.

Believe me, you can't.

Once more, I let you go.

[footsteps receding]

[crickets chirping]

Chris?

Chris.

[groaning]

Chris.

- Shh.
- Where is he?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Do you know what today is?

It's my birthday.

Happy birthday.
