[the vampire Jerry Dandrige approaches Charley in Charley's bedroom]
Jerry Dandrige : Now, we wouldn't want to wake your mother, would we Charley? Then I'd have to kill her too. RIGHT?
[Jerry tosses Charley across his room, before grabbing him up by his throat]
Jerry Dandrige : Do you realize how much trouble you've caused me? Spying on me. Almost disturbing my sleep this afternoon. Telling policemen about me!
[Jerry drags Charley along one of the bedroom walls by the throat]
Jerry Dandrige : You deserve to die, boy. Of course... I could give you something I don't have. A choice. Forget about me, Charley. Forget about me, and I'll forget about you. What do you say, Charley?
[Charley pulls out a small cross from his front pocket and holds it up to Jerry's face, but Jerry quickly grabs and crushes onto Charley's wrist, making him drop the cross to the floor]
Jerry Dandrige : Fool!

[Jerry Dandrige tells Charley that he'll drop by anytime he wants]
Jerry Dandrige : What's the matter, Charley? Afraid I'd never come over without being invited first?
Jerry Dandrige : [Charley's mother laughs] You're right. You're quite right. Of course, uh, now that I've been made welcome I'll probably drop by quite a bit. In fact, anytime I feel like it.
-
Jerry Dandrige : Yes, Charley, you've already causes your friends quite enough pain.
