Recap

In Limestone, a teenage girl, Kristen, goes to the Black Rose bar and finally find the boy she's there to meet: Robert. They sit and discuss her poetry, and Robert admits he's impressed by them. He insists that he knows her, and asks to see some of her work. As she gets it out, she gives herself a paper cut and Robert turns away, insisting he has to go. He runs off before Kristen can stop him. However, later, he returns and admits he couldn't stay away. Robert then says that he has to show her something. He pulls up his lip and reveals that he has fangs. Kristen, impresses, says that she knows it and starts to bare her throat. She wonders if it will hurt as she bares her neck, but he offers to show her his world instead. He takes her to an abandoned building and a muscular vampire leaps out. He compliments Robert, and the two vampires attack her...

Robert: You must be starving.
Dean: Uhh...
Robert: Here you go.
Dean: I'm okay. I killed so many people on the way over here, so...
Robert: Yeah, uh, about that, company line is we just don't kill people anymore. But you got to tell me what that's like.
Dean: Yeah. Yeah, first chance I get I'll show you myself.
Robert: Sweet.

Boris: And these are the best days in the last six hundred years to be a vampire. Dracula, Anne Rice, please. These stupid little brats are so horny, they've reinvented us as Prince Charming with a Volvo. They want a promise ring with fangs, so I give it to them.
