(sewers. Four vampires are walking in vamp face.)

Vampire: It was too crowded. We gotta hold out for a few hours, pick up a straggler, some drunk. Can't be calling attention to...

(He sees Adam and stops.)

Vampire: ...ourselves.

ADAM: I've been thinking. About vampires.

Boone: (threateningly) This is my place.

ADAM: (unintimidated) You're place, yes. The sewers. You hide from them. Crawl about in their filth. Scavenging like rats. What do you fear?

Boone: Kill this guy already.

ADAM: You fear the cross. The sun. Fire. And, oh, yes . . .I believe decapitation is a problem as well.

Boone: You can have the place. I mean, we don't have to stay here anymore.

ADAM: You fear death. Being immortal, you fear it more than those to whom it comes naturally. Vampires are a paradox.

Boone: (nervously) Okay. We're a paradox. That's cool.

ADAM: Demon in a human body. You walk in both worlds and belong to neither. I can relate. Come. We have a lot to talk about.
