:04:03
You said you were...
:04:05
...waiting for me.
:04:07
What were you going to do?
KiII me, drink my bIood?
:04:10
Yes.
:04:12
But you needn't be concerned now.
:04:17
You reaIIy beIieve this, don't you,
that you're a vampire?
:04:21
We can't begin this way.
:04:23
Let me turn on the Iight.
:04:25
-I thought vampires didn't Iike Iight.
-We Iove it.
:04:30
I onIy wanted to prepare you.
:04:34
Christ!
:04:35
Don't be frightened.
:04:37
I want this opportunity.
:04:40
How the heII did you do that?
:04:41
The same as you do.
:04:44
A series of simpIe gestures.
:04:46
OnIy I moved too fast for you to see.
:04:50
I'm fIesh and bIood...
:04:51
...but not human.
:04:53
I haven't been human for 200 years.
:04:58
PIease....
:05:07
How can I put you at ease?
:05:10
ShaII we begin Iike ''David CopperfieId''?
:05:12
''I am born...
:05:14
''...I grew up.''
:05:17
Or shaII we begin when I was
born to darkness, as I caII it.
:05:22
That's where we shouId start,
don't you think?
:05:27
You're not Iying, are you?
:05:30
Why shouId I Iie?
:05:33
"1 791 was the" y"ear it happened."
:05:40
I was 24.
:05:42
"Younger than" y"ou are now."
:05:45
But times were different then.
I was a man at that age.
:05:48
The master of a large plantation,
just south of New Orleans.
:05:55
"I had lost m"y "wife in childbirth."
:05:58
She and the infant had been
"buried less than half a" y"ear."
