  Christina : How old?

  Martin Matthias : 84.

• Martin Matthias : Everything has been pretty easy since I've learned how to be careful. People are the hardest thing.

  Radio Talk Show Host : I understand.

  Martin Matthias : When I see people together, they don't talk. Not really. They don't say what they mean.

  Radio Talk Show Host : Right.

  Martin Matthias : Then they, they have the other... the sexy stuff. Whenever they want. I've been much too shy to ever do the sexy stuff. I mean, do it with someone who's awake. Someday maybe I'll get to do it - awake - without the blood part. Just do it with somebody. Then be together and talk all night.

• Christina : If you need anything, just call me. I'll come, I'll send you the money.

  Martin Matthias : No, you'll forget about me.

  Christina : No, I won't. Why do you think I'll forget?

  Martin Matthias : Because you're going away. People always go away so they can forget where they were.

  Radio Talk Show Host : Ah, ha, ha, ha, you don't need that?

  Martin Matthias : No, you really don't. I mean, if the magic part was real and you could make them do whatever you wanted to...

  Radio Talk Show Host : Ha, ha, oh yeah!

  Martin Matthias : Well, that would be different. In real life, in real life you can't get people to do what you want them to do.

• Martin Matthias : For a long time, I didn't care if they'd kill me. Most people spend their lives worrying about dying. For a long time, I wished I would die, or I wish somebody would kill me. It's been a long time for me, a long time full of crazy people.

• Martin Matthias : You want me here for sex, don't you. I never really did it before, I was always too shy. But I've decided I'd really like to do it with you.

• Mrs. Santini : Boy, do I wish what you had was catching.

  Martin Matthias : Some people think it *is* catching. In the movies it's catching.

• Radio Talk Show Host : Live for yourself! Whatever it takes to get through the night. Right, Count?

  Martin Matthias : Are you making fun of me?
