An old coroner's trick.
I can make a quarter appear from behind your ear.
Are you about to ask what a normal person like me is doing in a place like this?
How do you define normal?
Misha, red wine... I don't. How do you?
All I know is... normal is not what I feel.
You've lost someone. Not a lover... a friend.
Don't you want to live forever?
Not if drawstring pants come back in style.
Eternal life. Smashed mirrors. Blood drinking. Should I be issuing my men stakes and cloves of garlic?
Only if they're hungry.
It's a stiff price, though. Look at yourself - drinking blood, living in darkness, unable to see your reflection in a mirror. Or is that just a myth?
I can't be seen in a mirror. Look… anything worth anything has a price and when I'm standing next to your deathbed looking as young as I look right now and I see that fear in your eyes at the moment of death … then, then tell me the price is too stiff.
It's more likely I'll be looking in your eyes at the moment before they lead you into the gas chamber. That's a moment you won't have to face if you tell me where the others are.
Why would I? They're the only ones that can kill me.
Well, if you are what you say you are, I know what can kill you.
Look, what nobody realizes is that there is no afterlife. I know this. Listen, listen, I know this because when we prolong our lives by taking theirs all I see is such …horror in their eyes and that's because at that moment they're face-to-face with death and then suddenly they realize there's nothing else. There's no heaven. There's no soul. There's just rot and there's just decay. And I will never, ever, ever, ever have to face that.
We'll rise up! You can't kill us! You're not one of us!
But I will be. I'm tasting the blood of a believer.
[getting nervous] But you haven't taken a life.
I'll take mine.
Don't do that. Don't do that! Don't! Don't! Don't! No! Don't! Don't!
