[theme music]

Death comes for all ofus in one form or another.

Violent ends, suicides,murders-- that's the norm

around here, of course.

But whether we scream in defiance

or open our arms inwelcome, our end is waiting.

If we're especially lucky, we may, in our dotage,

imagine that we know the day of our own demise.

We may be given a final chance to settle

our accounts before weshuffle off this mortal coil.

Such a chance is rareand difficult to achieve.

But when the end of the day is near,

and you know that tomorrow will not come,

will you have the grace to rest in peace?

VASSU: Princess.

[gasping]

[spit]

[honk]

How do I, uh-- how do I find you again?

I'll find you.

Creep.

You move so slowly tonight, Vassu.

You must be tired.

No.

I know how it is to beweary and unable to rest.

T'is a terrible thing.

It is more than that.

I'm dying.

Oh, Vassu.

Are you glad?

[rock music playing]

[moaning]

MAN: I love this.

I love that.

[groaning]

WOMAN: Oh, I wanna sleep.

MAN: Shut up!

I said shut the fuck up!

MAN: Oh, you shut up!

MAN: Listen to me, I'm sleeping, OK?

You know what that means?

[screaming]

MAN: Going hunting?

Yeah.

Bring back something nice.

Do you remember, Vassu, when I was a huntress?

I was so beautiful then.

So hungry.

Do you recall?

My face in a thousand ballroom mirrors.

My silk slippers,stained with morning dew.

And my lovers.

Don't trouble for me.

I require so little now.

I-- I seldom sleep.

I eat so little.

I no longer lust.

Have I been faithful to all we swore?

Oh, Vassu.

I have only a few nights left.

There's one last thing I wish to do for you.

Vassu, the world is not like before.

No, Princess.

The world is the way it always was.

It is we who have changed.

You're right.

We are so very old.

[car alarm beeping]

[honking]

[shouting]

[grunt]

Give me your wallet.

I have no wallet.

Don't lie to me, asshole,or I will hurt you.

[patting]

You keep your money in your sock?

Yes.

In my sock.

[grunt]

[crash]

Get up.

This yours?

Take it.

You look hungry.

Come with me.

I have a meal waiting.

A meal?

You do eat, don't you?

What do you want?

You'll soon find out.

Well, how much are you paying?

Pay me enough, I'll do almost anything.

Good.

If you'll do anything, then I don't

need to tell you what I want.

You'll do it anyway.

Don't worry.

You will be rewarded.

Hey, almost anything, I said.

[clatter]

Getting a little clumsy in your old age, huh?

Yes, you're right.

I am old.

I have lived 10 times your years.

Do you know what that means?

Would you have hurt me if you could?

In the alley? - Yeah, sure.

Is that how you live?

By robbing?

That's one way.

I've got others.

That's why I'm here, right?

Yes.

[piano playing]

I thought I was here for you.

No.

You are here for another.

She is a princess.

Her name is Daragan Draculus.

[snort]

You recognize the name, I see.

It is another branch of the family.

Hm.

Um-- she a vampire?

You lead similar lives, do you not?

Preying on people in the night.

Um-- are you a vampire too?

I am her mortal servant.

Oh.

Huh.

Know what?

It's a free country, man.

People can call themselveswhatever they want--

vampires, werewolves, aliens.

I knew a Catwoman once, actually.

The whole lot, tight leathersuit, and whip, and everything.

Of course, Catwoman was a man.

Made me $100 though.

Where are you going?

Do you like the food?

Yeah.

Then enjoy it.

Princess.

I have brought someone.

Then I shall see him.

Pretty weird old guy, huh?

Has he been with you long, or?

Very long.

When he was your age, he was the same as you.

A thief.

I remember he was beingchased on the village road

and was close to death.

The townspeople would have torn him

to pieces if they caught him.

But I was waiting.

And because I was waiting, he did not die.

[chuckle]

Why do you laugh?

Well, uh--

[laugh]

It's this whole place.

I mean, I don't knowanybody who has a servant.

I didn't think that existed anymore.

Could you be one?

What?

A servant.

Yeah, sure.

I mean, that's-- that'swhat I'm here for, right?

Service?

Do you want it?

Yeah, sure, I want it.

You You can't have it.

But I'm here to make you happy, right?

And if I do that, I get something in return.

Isn't that the way it works?

And how do you propose to make me happy?

I can make you feel real good.

What do you think I am?

Hm?

A perverted hag, waiting to lick up your youth?

Is this what you see?

A senile witch, craving theflesh between your thighs?

What am I?

Tell me who you are!

[howling]

Shit.

I ought to kill you.

Take it.

What?

Take it.

Do you remember?

You had asked me about this same crucifix.

You were so young then.

So much like him.

I remember.

No.

Is he suitable?

Why did you decide on him?

He followed me in the street.

I felt the anger in hisfootsteps, the same anger

I felt when I ran, bleeding,down that path, all those years

ago.

What is it, Vassu?

I saw something in you when he left.

You were alive.

There was a fire in your eyes I have not

seen in over a hundred years.

WOMAN: Hey!

[rock music playing]

[ears ringing]

[smash]

Shut up!

Shut up!

Shut the fuck up!

MAN: Hello, Snake.

Who the fuck are you?

What'd I do?

What'd I do?

You got in bad with someone.

I'm in bad with a lot of people.

There's I'll fix it.

Whatever it is that happened,I'll make it right, OK?

Uh-uh.

That's our job, prettyboy, making things right.

No, no, no--

[groan]

[crying]

You're strong, Snake.

I don't feel strong.

Oh, no, you are.

Vassu told you that Dracula'sname was from another branch

of the family.

Our customs are differenttoo, as you shall see.

Come.

Drink.

Drink.

All your wounds will be healed.

Death will rot from you like a torn skin.

[clatter]

[distant screaming]

[piano playing]

Princess.

Things die, but life goes on.

Some are reborn, some remade, some replaced.

Some are missed.

Some prayed for.

Some cursed.

Some remain as they always were.

Alone.
