MAN: For over a century, I have lived in secret; hiding in the shadows, alone in the world. Until now. I am a vampire. And this is my story.
[A man and a girl in a car, on the road.]
MAN: An hour's drive to hear that crap. You know, it wasn't even a band. A guy with a guitar. An hour each way. GIRL: He wasn't that bad.
MAN: He sounded like James Blunt. GIRL: What's wrong with that?
MAN: We already have a James Blunt. One's all we need. GIRL: So why did you come? MAN: Because I love you.
GIRL: Nicely done. What's with all the fog? MAN: It'll clear in a second. GIRL: Watch out!
