Brodi?
Dear Ms Romo, Thank you for the script A VAMPYRS TOUCH.
Unfortunately, we have to say no to publishing it.
Good night, bat.
- You don't have a job. -Yes, I am a writer.
Yes, and how does it go? Okay, that hurts.
I hope you have a decent life, not because you rot.
I'm your sister. I am worried.
Should I live like you? Hit a million kids before the age of 30?
I have three wonderful children and they are also part of your family.
And they really miss their aunt.
- Are you there? -I have to run.
In that case, okay. Calm. Nothing happens.
Julius King, private detective. Sorry if I scared you.
- Are you okay? -Yes. Sorry.
I haven't slept that well.
-How can I help? -I can go back...
No, it's okay. Come in.
-Aman? -Ya.
So.
-No, Ms. Romo. -Olivia.
Candy! -Yes. Are you a policeman?
No, private detective, on duty for some people who live in Reno.
- I don't know anyone in Reno. -Maybe they can help me.
I had rang the doorbell in the area, but everyone was shown at Christmas.
I see there is light here, so I want to find...
-What's this about? -Oh, sorry, I was just daydreaming!
I'm looking for someone. Three, actually.
- Are they criminals? -You can say that.
Would you like to see if you recognize any of them here?
I have shaded them for a long time and they only move at night.
I approached one of them, but he ran away.
- Are they dangerous? -I don't want to scare you,
but yes, they are very dangerous.
He's there, he's twice as dangerous as the other two.
-What's his name? -Luke.
- Did you see it? -No, unfortunately not.
- Are you sure, Miss Father? -Yeah, it's been very quiet here.
-What's that? -That's just my cat.
-Your cat? -Yeah, he loves being in the garage.
Yes, he loves the old boxes out there. Crazy cat!
Is there anyone else here besides the cat?
No, it's just me and... Buster.
- Do you like vampires, Miss Romo? -What?
Vampires like in Dracula , Nosferatu Twilight ?
No. Why?
I can see you have a vampire book on the table,
and a vampire riding a Christmas tree. Maybe they like vampires?
Why not? Many do. People think they are really cool.
And that they are very sexy. But they don't.
I've seen vampires peel off people's heads and play soccer with them.
-Just for fun! -But vampires don't exist.
Yes they do. And you know it well. Isn't that right, Father?
Do you believe in me? They believe me! I am just kidding.
-That's good. - I'd better go now.
But seriously,
if you see one of the people in the picture, call.
Not to the local police yet, because they can't handle this. And forget 112.
-Severon? -This is the agency I work for.
They're a little theatrical, but pretty good.
Thank you for the tea, Mrs. Romo. That's very refreshing.
-What's that? -A bat flew into the window yesterday.
-A bat? -Yes. It might last.
-Are there many bats here? -No.
Do you know why?
All the insects and bats that bats eat
disappears when it cools down.
Bats sleep or fly to hot places.
Ah, really?
If you see bats in winter, you should ask yourself:
What did he eat?
Hi Simon. That is me. I was in a small town outside of Tahoe.
I almost hit one of them.
I hurt him last night. He's quite dead to himself,
but I want to make sure.
I'm in now.
Do not be scared.
Lukas!
I have found some clothes.
I don't have men's clothes. These are my mother's clothes.
I'm glad I kept it.
Maybe something fits so you don't have to be naked and frozen.
You can tear it to pieces if you want to bandage your wound.
I can get other clothes if you tell me what size you use.
By the way, my name is Olivia.
-Blood. -What?
-I need blood. -Yes of course! You're a vampire.
Unfortunately I'm out of stock now,
but I know a place that has it. So I took clothes
and some blood. And maybe a pair of pants. Is your waist around 32?
- Am I close? -No pants. Blood.
Okay! We'll take care of the pants later, I'll take the blood first. I go now.
200 grams of beef, please.
From 200 grams of mezzanine.
Do you also sell blood?
Good! You found something to wear! A little blood?
-What's this? - Pig's blood. It's so cheap!
- Pig blood? -I can send it back...
No! That's fine.
Again. Thank you.
Mere.
-Again? -No. I need sleep.
You can borrow a sleeping bag.
I thought you might have woken up.
You look different!
-I feel different. Much better. -May I come in?
You live here.
-Can I help you with something? -Yes alright.
-You're a vampire. Not true? -Yes.
I write about vampires.
And I read about vampires. And I've seen a lot of movies.
-Okay... -But I've never met a real one!
I had no idea that they existed! So this is big for me.
-What you want to know? -Oh yes...
There's a lot I want to know. Now I have it!
-Rule! -What rules?
Rules, you know enough? In some books , the cross and holy water are harmful to you.
In other books, God and the Bible have nothing to do with vampires.
For example, you can be a bat!
It was unexpected for me. It's like in the old days.
- Can you be a bat now? -Maybe later.
Yeah, you're not all right.
Okay, let's start easy. A pole pierces the heart, will you die from it?
It will all show.
-Can you see the cross? -Better not.
-Garlic? -Gives me a rash.
-Vievand? -It depends on the priest.
-What do you mean? -If he likes kids, I'm fine.
-Disgusting! -But arrows and holy water are fine.
- Did you pee on me? -No.
-What about sunshine? -What's with that?
-Do you want to burn it? -No, but it's no fun.
-How does it feel? -Being in the sun?
-Tastes like being kicked in the onion. -Healthy!
And how does it feel to be kicked in the onion?
What about silver? Or does that only apply to werewolves?
-Are there werewolves too? -Has anyone been here before?
-What? -A man in a coat.
- Did you mean Julius King? - Do you know his name?
It does not matter. I didn't say anything. Forget it.
Forget it? Who do you think did this?
- That bastard almost killed me! - He doesn't know you're here. Ama'r.
-He walks around looking for you. - There's someone outside.
-There is not any. - There's someone now!
-Are you sure? -Yes. Go out and see!
-Luke... -I'm weak. I can't refuse.
-But Luke... -Go now!
-No one. -Safe?
-Yes. -Really sure?
See for yourself!
-What's wrong with you? -What's there?
Who are you? Why are you helping me?
My name is Olivia, as I said. And I want to know a real vampire.
- That might sound ridiculous. -According to you?
Wait! Close it! Do it now!
Olivia, shut up!
-Go if you don't want my help. -Sorry! I don't want to upset you.
Olivia, I'm not strong enough to get out yet.
Shut up now before anyone sees me.
I don't know what he said, but I'm not evil.
- Have you never played ball with your head? -What? No.
- Did he say that? -You're a vampire, you kill people.
I drank their blood, but I didn't kill anyone.
-And I have to believe it? -If you kill, you leave a trail.
But you turned them into vampires, right?
-That's not how it works. -How?
You can only change someone if you are born a vampire. That's right!
-But why would people want to kill you? -People don't want that.
-Severon will kill me. -Yes yes.
Severon was a fascist and a criminal,
and they will kill anyone who doesn't match!
They have destroyed unicorns, ham changers, elves ...
-Alfer? -You will never meet someone because they are dead.
When it comes to vampires, there's only me and a few others left.
They probably have. I might be the last bastard.
You are my last hope.
-If I have to stay here until I... -Okay.
Okay?
This is a long day. I went to sleep.
Until tomorrow.
Olivia, should I stay in the garage?
Yeah, until I knew I could trust you.
May I have something to read? Otherwise, I'm bored to death.
You can read about it here.
"A vampire touch"?
Let me guess. pig's blood.
This is Orlok's Count. From Nosferatu .
Yes I know.
- Don't like it? -No.
Most vampires find it offensive.
-Really? -This is the birth of our Nation .
-Sorry! I don't want to offend you... - I'm kidding.
Well, like that!
Does it taste very different from...
I don't want to sound ungrateful,
but it's like the difference between beer and hot pee.
Did you know that you can drink your own urine?
There are actually fewer bacteria in urine than in tap water.
What?
It's starting to heal.
It was slow at first, but it just took some time.
-Yes... I can't read... -No problem.
-It started off well. -No, that's ridiculous.
Now I go in and make breakfast... for the people.
-I'm going in now. - Is he really there?
Yes. Prepare the cleaning people. It would definitely require human sacrifice.
- Male - Male? -The whore who saved him.
-Where's the vampire, you demon bitch? -Hello!
Tell me or I'll break your throat, like a goddamn twig!
Here and now!
Lukas!
I've been waiting for this for a long time.
How does it taste?
Does it hurt? We tried again.
Okay, we have to find a way...
Cross your ass!
Olivia!
Can we talk about it?
It's him or me.
You may be angry, but you can say something, right?
This is Jen. Leave a message.
Hi, brother. I'm calling because it's almost Christmas.
I really miss you.
Dude, this is too stupid. You don't have to call back.
100 HISTORY OF EVIL VAMPYR
Olivia! Is that you?
Who else should it be?
- I've read your script. -And?
- I like it. -Safe!
I am serious! You express yourself well.
If that was true, I would have been released by now.
By the way, I made some notes.
A little feedback. A real vampire might be of some help to you.
This could be better. What did you say?
Would you like to move to the other side of the room?
Yes of course.
Is there blood everywhere?
No, I've dried it. Here it looks fine.
It's clean and tidy here. Where did you put... Oh my God!
In that case, okay. Forgive me.
The body remains cold for several days. When I'm strong enough, I bury it.
Can we talk together in the living room?
I like your house. It's comfortable here.
-Thank you. -Are you skiing or snowboarding?
-No. Why? - You live in Tahoe. Just because of that.
Mom is skiing. He lives here.
He died last year. Ovarian cancer.
-I regret. -Thank you.
I inherited the house. My sister is married.
And mom probably thought I would n't be able to manage my rent.
He's right, as always.
-How long have you been writing? -Since I was a kid.
-For as long as I can remember. -Anne Rice or Stephenie Meyer?
-What? -Who do you want to be?
I want to be myself.
- Do you have any comments about the book? -Yes.
I started with the good stuff. The language is clean and simple, without unnecessary words.
-And Anna's character... -Say what you hate. I can stand it.
Okay, so let's talk about the place.
-Rumania? -Ya.
I chose it because it has a Bram Stoker vibe...
Yes I understand that. But you have to change it.
Vampires do not live in dusty castles. They live in a cool place.
-Cold place? -Not funny. Tokyo, London, Tahoe...
Have you been to Romania? This is really the bottom!
-There's nothing to do there. -I'll consider it. Especially?
character. Anna is human and she falls in love with the vampire Vladimir.
Anna is a good character. But Vladimir...
-What's with Vladimir? -No vampire calls himself that.
He might as well be called a Dildo! It should be a name with a style that...
Zach. That's a very nice vampire name.
-He must disappear in the crowd, right? -What about Ethan?
-Can also be used. -I like Ethan.
But there's a problem bigger than the name. He's an asshole!
But Anna, she's smart, successful, and owns a flooring company.
-She will never fall in love with him. -Why not?
He is a strange snail who lives in a stuffy old castle in Romania.
-But you have to change that. -Possible.
I think he needs to take the initiative and take control.
He complains about everything to page 250. And then the book ends soon.
He's a vampire, Olivia. It's not tragic. This is fantastic!
You live forever. You party all the time. One should not stand in line or be on medication.
Vladimir... Ethan is sad because he misses his life. Don't you understand?
Everyone he knew and loved before he became a vampire was dead.
Don't miss your old life?
-As a human? No. -Not a little?
Want to know something weird? I can't remember my old life at all.
-That can't be true. -Yes. You get memory loss.
Could it be a defense mechanism that makes the transition easier?
It might be interesting to explore.
-This can be interesting. -He remembers by following directions.
And Anna helped him! They find their past together, and fall in love.
This can be good!
This can be very good.
I am not ready.
I need more time.

Oh Lord!
-Is it Christmas already? -Christmas eve.
Mom let us open Christmas presents in the evening.
-But I have nothing for you. -You live in my garage! Open!
I thought you were bored with mom's clothes.
Thank you, Olivia. For all.
I want you to change.
After that you can log in.
I have a surprise for you.
Sid ned.
- Did you do all that for me? -You can't celebrate Christmas in the garage.
Then... Will you hand over the blood to me?
The bowl.
-Hello! Merry Christmas! It's Christmas, right? -Yes!
I knew I would achieve it! The ghosts do it all in one night!
-Do you know the nearest store? -According to me!
You are a sweet boy!
slut
-What did I miss? - Scrooge kills a crippled child.
No it's not him!
I will sleep now.
-Do not you...? -What?
Aren't you going to lock me in the garage?
You can sleep in the guest room if you want.
Are you missing something?
Aren't you going to say hello?
Hi, Jackie. Fuck.
You look ridiculous! Did he choose your clothes?
It's a Christmas present.
He's on top, right? I could hear a warm heartbeat.
That must be driving you crazy.
He risked his life to save me. When I last saw you, you were running towards you.
Julius King just shot you with an arrow. Should we be shot too?
He died.
-You're lying! -I killed him.
I got help from my new friend.
-Where's the body? -In the garage.
Show me that.
That's not a question. Show me the way.
Healthy.
Come in.
He's lying here. Olivia!
Christmas blood, little bunny. My name is Jackie. What's your name?
Have you ever been shy?
You are good here. And you sleep with the door unlocked.
No cross, no pillar. Just you in your nightwear.
He sure makes you feel safe, doesn't he?
Cute little bunny! You don't know Luke like I do.
We've had fun together. Not just what you think.
We've been hunting together. Killed together.
Drain a lot of cute girls for blood!
You're lying!
-Luke, tell him to stop! -Yes, Luke, do it.
Does he look like he's in charge? No, he's too vegetarian.
Look, he's totally ruined because of you.
Let him go!
This house is mine now.
Car outside is min.
All your stuff is mine.
And in return ...
...you are allowed to jump with clothes on.
-He's cold to death. -Probably not.
-What did you say? - Do you just want to let me go?
Did I say that? No. You can go out. But you have to run.
Faster than you'll ever run.
You get a ten second lead.
Ti, ni, otte ...
He ran away, right?
He came back. They always do.
And then... she's mine.
I'm bored. We went out and killed something.
-I'll never see her again! - That's what you always say!
"Now it will be different."
-Good evening, children. -Hi!
Do you want to party with me?
Luke the beheader
-Where's the party? -Not far from here.
-You, how much longer? -We're here now.
Severon, this is Simon.
- Hello? -I got the number from Julius King.
He died.
-I'm listening. -I need to know that I can trust you.
-I'm not following. - Did Severon destroy all the elves?
What is an elf?
I don't know what to do. They kicked me out of my house.
Can you send another vampire hunter? The one like Julius?
We don't have anyone like Julius King. He is the best.
He always brings gifts from his travels. He was standing near me.
But we may be able to send someone else who can help you.
-Thank you! How soon can you come? - Let's see.
Tomorrow is Christmas, then comes the New Year.
How about June?
-June? - How does that sound?
The last three vampires in the world have taken control of my house.
And you can only come in June?
These are not the last three vampires. There are thousands of them!
- Did the vampire say that? -No...
And we're not actually Doctors Without Borders. We have a small staff.
I saved him! Otherwise, this will not happen.
-I have to take my responsibility. -Woman...
I got a car full of poles, garlic, holy water, and damn arrows!
-What do you mean? -At dawn I killed them all!
I highly recommend not doing it.
Halo?
Who is there?
You don't hit!
Do you think I will burn in the sun? No.
It just hurts so much.
Like this.
Good morning, little bunny!
What do we have here?
And where did you go?
Let's see: garlic, cross, more garlic ...
Vievand. It has become very harmless.
How would you like the meat to be cut?
Jackie!
-Leave him. -That's an exciting development!
-Stand still! -And if not, you kill me?
-Yes. -No, you will miss me.
-You will miss hunting and baking. -Remove the pole.
You may have made the little bunny believe your story, but I know better.
-You don't know me. -Then we say it.
You have become a pathetic shaman! In the past, you were cool!
After a few days with your babysitter you will never be recognized again!
The power of Christ conquers you! The power of Christ conquers you!
Stay here, Luke! You won't want to miss this!
"Simon & Schuster"? You should publish the book yourself.
Now no one will read your bra.
Has the little bunny calmed down? Jackie made the pain go away.
Merry Christmas, bitch vampire!
-Olivia... -I was chased half naked in the cold!
I spent the night in the car of the dead!
I will be killed by your sick vampire friend! Is it one of your wives?
- He doesn't... - At Christmas you see his loved ones.
Someone opened a Christmas present, and ate and drank too much.
At Christmas, don't kill the damn vampires!
But judging by my Christmas, it doesn't look like it!
-Listen now... -You lied to me!
About you killing people. About who you are.
You lied about the elves, which is very painful to lie to!
How do you think about it?
Now I ask a few questions. And then you tell the truth.
And only the truth. Otherwise, I'll shoot you right in the heart with an arrow!
He begged me. Am I now a vampire?
-No. - Do you swear?
He wasn't born a vampire. He changed, just like me.
-He can't change other people. -Okay.
Do you have feelings for me that are sincere?
-And did you like my book? -Yes.
Except for Vladimir.
Is that the sweater I gave you?
-Hello? - Merry Christmas, honey!
- Merry Christmas, Jen. - There are some who want to say hello.
-Say Merry Christmas to Aunt Olivia. - Merry Christmas, Aunt Olivia!
Merry Christmas, kids.

MEET OLIVIA ROMO THE AUTHOR OF "BLOOD CHRISTMAS"
So.
Write "For Simon".
They probably know a lot about vampires. Maybe we can work together in the future?
Thanks, but I prefer to write.
And what's your name?
The book signing in LA went well.
Many are coming, more than in San Francisco.
Everyone asked when the next book would come and I told the truth.
Or almost.
I said I have some drafts but I'm waiting for feedback.
How's your record? Do I have to see?
You don't have to scream.
This is not very constructive. Have you read my latest draft?
Blood!
