On the upside,

I think she had a really good time.

So, it's quite late and uh...

I've managed to find a woman up,

watching television.

And, uh, she seems like

she'd be a good victim.

I'm just going to use hypnosis on her...

See me...

See me...

She can't, she can't see me

from that angle.

Vladislav used to be extremely powerful.

He could hypnotize crowds of people.

Great orgies. 20-30 women.

He could turn into all sorts of animals.

But now he never get the faces right.

He would kill anybody.

Men, women.

Children. Burning... everything.

It was totally great.

But he suffered a humiliating defeat...

... at the hands of his arch nemesis...

... The Beast.

And, he's never been the same.

See me...

See me...

See me...

See me...

Would you like to come inside?

Ah!

- Jackie, welcome! Come in.

- Hello.

This is Nick. Ex-ex boyfriend.

- And Josefine.

- Nice house.

And this is Deacon,

my over seas friend from Europe.

Deacon and his friends need...

... victims.

Hi! Please come in, welcome.

There can't be people that...

... I actually

envious them or like because of course

they will become victims.

Hi! Josefine?

No, I sat next to you in English.

Remember?

Um, you used to call me the Jacksersist?

No you did, no you did. Yeah.

No, you started that.

You were the one who started calling me that and

then it kind of caught on.

Yeah.

Okay, bye then. Bye.

She's in.

You like that, Nick?

Yep, it's nice.

I will go and prepare dinner.

Nick, are you a virgin at all?

Um, what?

Doesn't seem like... are, are you a virgin?

- Yes.

- Um, no.

You were a virgin when

we were seeing each other?

Yeah, I was 12.

You said he was a virgin.

I think we drink virgin blood because...

... it sounds cool.

I think of it like this...

If you're going to eat a sandwich..

You will just enjoy it more if

you knew no one had f***ed it.

Let's concentrate on Josefine than.

Are you a virgin?

I'm not, no.

Okay, I'm really sorry.

Because I totally...

Him there is a Virgin.

She looks like a virgin.

She talks like a virgin, I mean...

Who would have sex with her, I wouldn't.

I would.

Oh.

Okay, good.

- It's 2 dinners... yum.

- Nick.

Do you like bisghetti?

Uh... yep.

I usually like it.

But, be better if it was warm?

So, this is my favorite trick.

We present our guest with a plate of bisghetti.

And then, I would say,

' Why don't you eat some bisghetti?'

Please, Nick.

Eat some bisghetti.

I didn't realize you enjoy eating worms.

Nick.

- No...

- They are worms.

There's worms moving around on my plate.

Worm like but not actually...

There's worms moving around on my plate.

Worm like but not actually...

We stole that idea from The Lost Boys.
