Marcus: I don’t really know where to start.
Phoebe: Whatever it is, just tell me. It can’t be that bad.
Marcus: I’m a vampire.
Phoebe: Come on, Marcus.
Marcus: Phoebe, seriously. I’m hundreds of years old. You catalog history; I’ve lived it. I know it sounds crazy, but humans share this planet with other creatures — vampires, witches, and daemons who hide in plain sight and are all around you. Creatures like me.
Phoebe: So, you’re not a superhero, just an actual vampire. Funny because I didn’t see a coffin in your apartment.
Marcus: Everything you think you know about it is human propaganda based on half truths, passed down and distorted through millennia, but we are real. We are everywhere.
Phoebe: You seriously believe this.
Marcus: I swear, I’m telling the truth.
Phoebe: Then I feel sorry for you. I think you need help.
