Oh, my God.

We are here to celebrate the cycle of the new moon.

As the sun sets on Midsummer's Eve, we shall receive the blood of another human

being.

Blood that will keep us fresh and young and beautiful.

Blood that shall be taken from someone who was born when the stars were right.

In the name of the God of darkness, Lucifer.

Lord of this world, we sacrifice this young maiden so that through her

youthful blood we too shall be youthful and live long.

Ow!

No!

No!

No. Please. No.

And now, for three more ten -year cycles of the Moon, we shall be renewed.

Oh, Bridget.

You always give me that special treatment that I crave.

I don't do this for just anyone, you know.

Special treatment for special clients.

Feel free to go a bit further down.

Into your scalp?

No.

We have to be careful, Tana.

Alex, you know that I always take everything you say very seriously.

But every now and then, we have to bend the rules a little bit and give our

study customers a little something extra.

You know, the ones who keep coming back, the ones who keep living.

I understand.

All I'm saying is be careful. Of course, Alex.

Just remember that I'm the manager.

And I am not about to let everything go just for a little bit of pleasure.

I don't see a single qualified candidate in any of these cards.

It's a constant problem, Kenneth.

If they're the right age, then they're not a virgin.

Or their birthdays are just a little long. You two are especially good at

getting personal information out of these customers.

Women love to talk to me. They tell me everything because they think they have

nothing to fear.

And they're wrong, of course.

And you, Bridget?

I give them what they want, and they give me what I want. It's called tit for

tat.

How true.

We've got to find someone.

We all know how soon this current cycle's gonna end, and if we can't find

qualified candidate soon... But finding someone who's a virgin, who was born on

a specific date and time, and with all the planets in alignment, is nearly...

Hello?

Are you guys closed?

Right so.

What time do you open tomorrow?

At nine.

Can I make an appointment for nine o 'clock tomorrow then?

We do have an opening as it happens.

Great. My birthday's coming up. I need to get my hair done.

I'm sure we can accommodate you.

Your name, please?

Janet Fontaine.

We'll see you at nine tomorrow, Janet. Thank you so much.

Well, have you been there the whole time?

And we've been considering the possibilities.

You know, Bridget, sometimes your precognitive powers scare me.

Hi, Leon.

Hey, try and control your enthusiasm.

I'm a little bit tired. It's a long walk from the beauty salon.

Tell me you didn't go to that place.

That place?

The Zappo Salon.

And what if I did?

Don't you know what kind of women they cater to?

No, Leon.

Tell me.

Lesbians and ACDC chicks.

Do you think I'll get raped?

I don't know about that.

But you might get a reputation.

Come on, Leon.

Just because they don't put out for you doesn't mean I'll turn lesbian.

I just don't want you to have to fight anybody else off, that's all. Fighting

off is plenty work for you.

How long are you gonna make me wait?

Leon, we've been seeing each other for six months now.

You knew going into this relationship that I'm not the kind of girl who sleeps

around.

We're both young.

We're both virgins.

If I'm gonna give myself to you, it has to be for the right reasons.

Janet, I know.

I do care about you.

I care about you too, Leon.

Neither one of us has said the L word yet.

Left?

No, silly.

The other L word.

I don't think either one of us is ready to say it either.

I just want to know more about you.

When you go to that salon, can I come along?

I just want to see what fascinates you so much.

You're not jealous, are you, Leon? No.

No.

I just want to check the place out.

Maybe I'm into lesbians.

Well, if it'll make you feel better.

But you have to promise to be nice.

I'll be a perfect gentleman.

Sure.

I'm going tomorrow.

Leon, I think it's time for me to go to bed.

Alone.

Do you, um, need any help undressing?

No. Good night, Leon.

I'll call you.

Do that.

Good morning, Janet.

You remembered my name.

Of course. It's my business to know my customer's name.

I'm Tanith. What a lovely name.

It's a very ancient name.

Cool. I like ancient things.

So what can I do for you, Janet?

Well, like I said, my birthday's coming up, and I need a new do.

I think your hair's lovely as it is, but we'll see what we can come up with.

Shall I wash it first?

Sure.

So who's Sappho?

She was a Greek poet thousands of years ago.

Really?

What did she write?

Love poems?

Didn't she live on an island somewhere?

Yes.

With lots of other women?

Uh -huh.

So she wrote these love poems to other women?

As a matter of fact, she did.

I love what you have done with my hair.

I'm so glad.

When's your birthday?

August 1st. Really?

It's a momentous date.

What do you mean?

It's Llamaside and the old pagan calendar.

It's a time for joyous feasting and it's a time the first summer crops come in.

So, what year and time were you born?

Year and time?

I'm into astrology.

Well, 1981, around one in the morning.

Very interesting.

I wish my boyfriend was into astrology.

I kind of like it.

So you do have a boyfriend?

Well, yeah, but it's one of those things. He's kind of pressuring

me. To have sex.

Right.

Well, don't you give in.

You'll know when you're ready.

That's what everybody's telling me.

Just one more finishing touch.

Hair gel?

It's a special hair gel. I made her myself.

What's it called?

Witch's brew.

Witch's brew.

Witch's brew.

Witch's brew.

You are so cool It just gives you that extra special

confidence that your hair will stay in place

I'll

be right back

I'll

be right here

Mmm. Ah.

Oh, sorry, dear. I heard you shriek, and I thought you might need a hand.

But I see now you have everything under control.

Alec, you always were so thoughtful.

Thank you anyway, but I've got everything under control.

Independent woman.

Is she the one?

She certainly looks right.

A virgin, huh?

Apparently.

Well, I guess she's all yours then.

I plan on it.

I must say, she's very attractive for a girl.

Just think of her as a boy without a penis.

With very succulent breath.

Seriously, Tenet, an excellent choice.

Well, I could look at her all day, but I suppose I should get to work.

It's okay, Leon.

Keep an open mind.

Hi, I'm Leon.

Is, uh, Janet here?

She's in the back.

That's quite a girlfriend you got there, Leon.

We just love her here.

You do?

Absolutely.

She's one of our best customers.

Is there anything I could do for you?

I'm not sure.

I mean, no, I don't think so.

Anybody who has Janet for a girlfriend must have something going for you.

Tell me a little bit about yourself.

Well, Janet and I have the same birthday.

When's your birthday?

Oh, well, actually, my birthday is the day earlier than Janet.

How have you been born at the same time?

About one in the morning.

And I would.

As you say, ma 'am.

you and Janet are just getting to know each other, eh?

Well, um, we haven't, um... That's okay, Leon.

We're all friends here.

What do you think goes on in this place?

Goes on?

Do you think we have sex with our customers?

Oh.

No. Where would I get that idea?

This is a very respectable place, Leon.

High class.

I can tell.

Bridget.

Is there something I can do for you?

Um... I'm with Janet.

I'm her boyfriend.

Leon. So nice to meet you. I've heard so much about you.

Bridget, I hope you didn't let Leon get too bored while he was waiting.

You weren't bored, were you, Leon?

No, not at all.

We exchanged astrological signs.

I'm a Leo and she's a Scorpio.

How interesting.

Here comes Janet now.

Janet!

So, Leon.

Bridget keep you occupied?

I, uh, wasn't bored for a minute.

Janet, as one of our new clients, I'd like to offer you one of our specials.

How very nice of you.

If you come in tomorrow, we'll give you a free manicure and pedicure.

Free?

Free for being a new client.

How can I resist?

I thought that tomorrow we were... What?

Nothing. Never mind.

See you then.

Come on, Leon.

It's, uh...

Nice meeting you, ladies.

Ivy Leon, take you, Janet, as my lawfully wedded...

So what did you think, Lee?

I can tell you one thing.

Bridget is no lesbian.

See?

I told you you had nothing to worry about.

By the way, why did you come get me in your underwear?

I don't know.

There's nothing about that place.

I didn't like the way that guy was looking at me.

Alec?

He was just sizing you up.

Oh, pfft. Please.

Oh, come on.

It's just a very nice, friendly place.

Maybe.

I'm gonna walk home.

Janet.

Good night, Leon.

Hello? Oh, hi, Leon.

Listen, Janet. I had the weirdest dream about that salon last night. Oh, come

on.

I'm just about to go over there.

I don't think you should go.

Will you stop?

There's something weird going on there.

No, Leon. There's something weird going on in your head.

Why don't we go to the movies like we planned?

Because I'm going to do this.

We can go to the movies on Saturday.

How about I come along then?

No.

This is my night.

And if I catch you within a mile of there, you'll be in the doghouse.

All right, all right.

Forget I mentioned it.

I just worry about you, that's all.

I'm a big girl, Leon.

Listen, I'll talk to you later. Bye.

Janet!

Hello?

Are you ready for your special treatment, Janet?

Yeah.

Can I get a little bit more of that hair gel, too?

I think I need just a touch here and there.

I'll give you a touch here and there.

Your special hair gel?

So how do we do this?

I'm going to do your hands.

And Bridget's going to do your feet.

I like that idea.

Janet, I think that you are becoming

very relaxed.

Yeah.

How did you get in here?

Butter knife.

That must have been quite a treatment you got today.

Don't give me attitude, Leon.

Well, I haven't been sitting around all day either.

I've been doing some research.

Research?

At City Hall.

And I found out something very interesting.

And you're going to tell me what that is?

The Sappho Salon has been at the same location since 1942.

So?

And it's had the same owners all that time.

Are you trying to make a point here, Leon?

That one owner is Tannet. She's owned the salon since 1942.

That's impossible.

That would make her... About...

80 years old.

I don't know what your problem is, Leon, but I think you better go now.

What did they do to you?

My nails.

Both set.

Is that all?

What the hell is wrong with you?

I looked up the name Tanith in the glossary of names at the library.

It's a name given to pagan witches of the Middle Ages.

So who?

Janet.

I think Tanith the witch.

Heard of the computer?

Computer.

Sometimes problematical to find right victim must be virginal and have

relating to one of our high holy days.

either on the date of the Sabbath itself or just before it.

Planets must be aligned in proper order.

Always so many things to consider.

Our grand opening.

1942?

1942.

They look exactly the same.

Oh, man.

This is not good.

1942.

1972 sacrifice.

Jesus, that's exactly 30 years apart.

Insuitable.

Insuitable.

Oh, my.

Oh, my God.

Janet.

Janet Fontaine.

Born August 1st, 1981.

Jupiter and Mars in right configuration.

Status, virgin.

Beautiful and unspoiled.

Perfect.

Yeah.

Maybe now you'll believe me.

I'm going to sacrifice her.

On Midsummer's Eve.

Tomorrow.

Hello? Janet, I found some evidence that something really bad is going on at the

salon.

Are you listening to me?

Hey, did you get your birthday present?

What?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, thanks.

But this is important.

You've got to listen to me. Leon, it's two o 'clock in the morning.

Can we talk about it some other time?

Later will be too late.

They're going to sacrifice you tomorrow.

What sacrifice?

I think that sometime tomorrow night, you're going to be the next sacrifice of

the witches of Sappho Salon.

I'm hanging up now, Leon.

No, please, don't hang up!

Well, that was productive.

Hi, Leon.

Wanna cut?

Janet!

We gotta get out of here!

You gotta release me!

I can't do that just now, Leon.

Janet!

Hello, Leon.

How's it hanging?

Pretty low, I see.

How embarrassing.

I can fix that.

Oh.

That did the trick.

I think you're ready now.

Janet?

Leon, I'm sorry for the way I acted.

Please accept my apology.

And happy birthday. Love, Janet.

Janet!

Oh my God! It's today!

The sacrifice is today!

Close for holiday.

We are here to celebrate the new cycle of the moon.

As the sun sets on Midsummer's Eve, we shall receive the blood of another human

being.

Blood that will keep us young and fresh and beautiful.

Blood taken from another human being who was born when the stars were right.

This fresh young virgin shall be our sacrifice to 30 more years of youthful

existence.

This is the way it has always been, and the way it shall ever be.

The way it shall ever be. In the name of the god of darkness, Lucifer, we

sacrifice this young maiden so that through her youthful blood, we too shall

youthful and live long.

Hold it right there, everybody!

Oh dear, he's got a gun!

I bet your ass I've got a gun and I'm not afraid to use it.

Thanks for the birthday present, Janet.

Really?

I'm serious. Don't force me to use this.

Stay back or I'll shoot.

I said stay back.

I just love macho men.

You really are the perfect little fool,

aren't you, Leon?

Run, Janet!

Free yourself from this place!

But I am free, Leon.

You... You're hypnotized.

No, Leon.

What? You still don't get it, do you, Leon?

Listen, I figured out your game. I know you're going to sacrifice Janet tonight.

You think you're so clever, don't you?

You think we witches are terribly dim, don't you, dear boy? Why do you think

you're so ridiculously easy to get in?

Aw, a butternut.

talking about?

You wanted me to find the index card?

The ones with the names on them? We wanted you to find all but one.

Janet, you've got to free your mind from them. You can't let them win.

Listen, Janet.

I read the index card.

The one that says that Janet is perfect for the sacrifice.

Indeed she would have been.

But for one thing.

We fell in love.

No!

No!

No!

I was intoxicated with Janet's innocence.

Her sweetness.

It was the perfect complement to my own darkness.

And then when I found out that you were born on Midsummer's Eve...

And the other same age as Janet?

Well, that made it a lot easier.

What are you saying?

What's he saying, Leon?

That I'm not the one for the sacrifice.

You are.

No!

Janet, no!

You can't be saying this!

It's true. At first, Janet did have me under some kind of spell.

But then I realized, I really liked what she was doing to me.

I've never met a man as interesting as Tanith.

I doubt I ever will.

Tanith brought out something in me that was already there.

And now, I feel liberated.

No! Janice!

You can't be saying this!

And so, we used Janice to get to you.

I've always wanted a virgin boy for a sacrifice.

A virgin born at the right time and date.

No!

No! No!

God, no, please!

Janet, as our new initiate, you may do the honor.

We are here to celebrate the new cycle of the moon.

This young virgin shall be our pathway to 30 more years of youthful existence.

His life shall be sacrificed so that we shall live.

It is the way it has always been and the way it shall ever be.

Happy birthday, Janet, from all of us.

Thank you, everybody.

It's hard to believe it's been so long.

Thanks for a great 30 years.

And let's all look forward to the next 30.

Bridget?

Hi. Um, Bridget, it's my birthday haircut, and, you know, come on, you

promised.

Come on.

It's already taken care of.

Will we be beautiful in 30 years?

Absolutely,

Janet.

Because... It's all about beauty.

This is me beating up my co -star.

I like that. That's brilliant.

This is what goes on behind the scenes.

Shut up, you bitch!

Stop being on my line.

On screen, it's all, I love you, I love you. Exactly.

I just want to get to know more about you.

Can I go with you to the salon?

I just want to see what it is that fascinates you so much about.

I was going to take it out, but it hurt shit.

Oh, don't get

this. I don't normally wear lipstick, dude.

Okay, we done?

Alright, let's make the movie magic.

The big R.

Let's do this.

Let's go.

Where's Anthony?

Anthony.

Hi.

You can send it on me if you want to.

No.

Amen.

Earns on me, man. It's so sweet most of the time. Yeah.

Three days of filming yourself as a sweetheart.

Get back to the house, and boy, she turns on me.
