Really? But now I can't because there's this Nick being a vampire. Sorry, sorry, I thought you killed him 2 months ago. No, I didn't...no... he's a vampire. What do you mean? He jumped in front of your place.

Perhaps another couple of years. Perhaps 10 years. Hmm? Like one big circle, just biting each others dicks. You know, they don't even wear shirts, they wear blouses. It's, it's just... ... a big homo-erotic dick biting club. And I'm stuck here, ironing their fucking frills. Also clean the bathroom, please. There's blood everywhere. It is gruesome.

She was so charming and nice. She was everything I wanted. Unfortunately... ... yeah, she was married. Sure, I wanted to kill the guy. I thought about, chopping his head off. Draining him of every drop of blood that he had. Who wouldn't?
