When the great eclipse plunged the world into darkness, the vampire race erupted

in a civil war.

The bloodthirsty fury battled with the enlightened elders for domination of the

undead. In desperation, the elders gathered up those young vampires that

be saved and entrusted them to me.

To humanize them, to tame their instincts, and teach them how to live

mortal.

For the Mansbridge experiment to succeed, my night school vampires will

coexist with my regular day school.

But these young predators must learn to live among the living, but invisibly.

Welcome back. I trust you all had an enjoyable vacation break?

No?

Spending quality time with your families is obviously not high on your must -do

list. Let's just say we don't miss them and they don't miss us.

It's the only thing we seem to agree on.

Well, let's see if you and they can agree on getting your grades up and

full advantage of what Mansbridge Academy has to offer.

What do you think about that, Sherry?

Sherry?

What was the question?

Yes, if you had sex over the holidays.

The answer is yes, several times.

All right, that's enough.

Your first assignment, appropriately enough, is an essay on the subject of

change.

Change?

What if I haven't changed?

We all change, Nick.

And I want this essay on my desk first thing in the morning.

Have a good day.

Nice work. Make it a life, Monica.

Sarah, slow down. Not now, Nick.

Look, I'm sorry, okay? That was a stupid, dumb remark, and I didn't mean

And I know you didn't mean what you said, either.

That's where you're wrong, Nick. I did.

I'm getting like zero inspiration.

Right how your old man used to drag you around to every nickel and dime concert

while he was reliving his rock and roll golden years.

Some things don't change.

And he still sells.

800 ,000 albums last year. Enough to send me here for another tortuous year.

Just think, you'll be a model citizen when they let you out.

I'm incorrigible. That's what the clinical assessment said. Mimi can't

focus on anything.

Lacks purpose and direction.

Chronically hypertensive.

Sounds like everybody I know.

Well,

here I am again, back at school.

Even though I'm surrounded by people, nothing changes.

I still feel like I'm all alone.

It's like there's this emptiness inside me that's trying to swallow me up.

And I keep hoping to find someone.

Someone who really gets me.

Who likes me for me and not for who they want me to be.

Where is he?

One special person.

That was my...

Good

evening.

Actually, it's morning for us.

Oh, very well.

Good morning.

I'm Dr.

Reginald Murdoch, headmaster here at Mansbridge Academy.

I trust you all know why you're here.

Kids like us need a proper education.

Precisely. As vampires, you've been roaming aimlessly for generations.

Now you've been given the opportunity to make something of your lives.

Laugh if you like, but I warn you, your elders are dead serious about this.

They're dead, all right.

And so are we.

Your elders have entrusted me to make you all...

Well, for want of a better word, civilized.

I rest my case.

Civilized. After drinking blood, I don't know if I'm up for a burger and fries.

Then just order it rare at Jiffy.

We are what we are.

We can never change.

Oh, you will change.

Or remain outcasts and hunted for the rest of your nights.

And if we can't?

Pick up your first assignments as you leave.

Any cheating is punishable by immediate expulsion.

Oh, as is the other cardinal rule around here.

No mixing with the day school.

You must be rich, kid.

Good.

I've been taken. No mixing!

Understood.

Thank you

for helping me find someone.

Where is he?

Well, look who's gone all civilized all of a sudden.

Taking orders from that Murdoch creep who should have been our midnight snack.

Give it a rest.

You're just low hemoglobin. That's all.

When do they feed us around here?

Not for another two hours.

Great.

Sit down and finish your test.

Wine?

Hi, I'm Meryl.

I know.

I thought I'd introduce myself since we're all new here.

Hi, Meryl. I'm cellmate number 666.

I didn't know we were in prison.

No?

Look around you.

Does this seem like paradise to you?

The elders are giving us a tan.

We should be grateful.

Let them fight their endless civil war with the fury.

I want no part of it.

You're a vampire.

You're part of it whether you like it or not.

Well, I don't like it, okay?

Sorry I bothered you.

Where is he?

One special person will rescue you from loneliness.

Who is she?

What are you talking about?

You'll learn. I read minds.

She's not one of us, is she?

Just a curiosity.

What's it to you, anyway?

Just a curiosity.

May I join you?

No small talk this morning, please. My stomach can't take it.

I just wanted to say once again that I'm sorry for yesterday.

I can pass it. Maybe you should, too.

So you let me read your essay?

Judging from what you said in class, you've changed.

A lot.

Maybe some other time.

Okay.

Just in case you think you're the only game in town.

Here.

Almost done, Miss Woods?

I must have writer's block.

Then just use your imagination.

You seemed to do that well earlier.

People can't change.

Why are you here, Sherry?

Because my parents have nothing better to do with their money.

Why are you here?

To help you take control of your life.

Don't you have anything better to do with yours?

No.

Not a bad showing.

You all possess a strong intelligence and a keen intuition.

With one exception.

Carl, there's one key question that seemed to have you stumped.

Choose one adjective that describes a vampire's basic nature.

Simple enough, don't you think?

And what did you answer, Carl?

Horny.

Could you all look at the screen, please?

Your enemy is not just the Fury, but humankind,

who now possess the technology to hunt you down and eliminate

every last one of you.

You will change.

You will learn to live with them and not off them, or you will perish as a race.

You are here to learn the three S's.

Self -control.

You must temper your cravings.

Solidarity. If one of you fails, you all fail.

Social graces.

Don't draw blood on your first date.

Close enough.

This neck is so hot.

He's all yours if you want him.

Yeah, me and every other chick in school.

You know you've been over there for an hour.

Trust me, Prince Charming's not going to ride up and knock at your door.

One can hope.

Are you Prince Charming?

No, I'm a pizza delivery boy.

They're beautiful, thank you.

But it's way past curfew. You've got to go.

Uh, I don't think so.

Wolf, this room's out of bounds.

Look, all I want to do is talk, okay?

Leave now or I'll scream.

You're a tease, Sherry. You think you can turn me on and off like a... Switch,

but that's over.

I'm gonna scream, I swear it.

Well, Cora, you got 20 seconds. Ten.

Yeah, sure you will.

One, two...

You're too silly. You think you can turn me on an offer to quit, but that's

over. I'm going to scream, I swear it.

Now, let's begin our one -on -one session starting with Carl.

You can't be here.

Just leave, okay?

Leave. You have to learn to control your instincts.

That's why we're here.

That creep's following his instincts.

And I'm following mine.

And you're no better than him.

I can't believe this. I can't believe she's doing this.

Consider yourself spared.

I got the reading assignment done if you want to copy my notes. Thanks, Malcolm,

but I can't read your scribble anyways.

I'll take them.

What?

I don't need a guardian angel.

Well, then what was my last term? When I tutored you to pass civet?

Just the kid with a bad overbite?

Leave me alone.

I just wanted to say that I figured it out. What are you talking about? You and

I need time, so I decided to let you have it.

You're not making any sense.

Wait. You feel crowded in this relationship, and I understand that now.

decided to give you some space to think it over.

What relationship? We don't have a relationship anymore.

Have you seen another guy? Is that it?

You know what? If I was...

We shouldn't even be having this conversation right now. We should even

having this conversation right now. No!

You're going to get into this now?

Yeah, because you have to be heard. You're not listening to me.

Couldn't sleep either, huh?

Is this cool or what?

What is it?

A window in the daylight world, my friend.

How come you never noticed it before?

Because I'm a high -tech guy in a low -tech basement.

Murdoch was probably saving this up as a surprise if we were really good, which

we're definitely not.

I just didn't make any time to sort this out.

I have sorted this out, and it's over.

Let go. You're hurting me.

Okay, okay.

Sorry.

Take that back. No.

It's personal.

Really? Really?

Really, how personal?

Do you? No? No?

One special person. Rescue me from my loneliness.

Rescue me from my loneliness?

Oh, sure, that's best for that.

Give it back, Nick! Come and get it!

Come on, Sherry.

Sherry, Sherry, Sherry.

Come on. Sherry, Sherry, Sherry. Nick, give it to me! You know what? I'm going

to send this tape over the net so the whole world can hear. No!

No!

Does she look good between two slices of bread?

Better give it to me right now!

Don't! Why are you being like this?

You want this stuff? Yes!

Oh, come on.

The child suffers from something no medicine can mend.

I didn't hear you come in.

But then I never do.

He has crossed over in his heart.

He must be brought back.

We will not lose him, you have my word.

You have no choice.

Point well taken.

Though there are some other things I need to discuss with you.

Some other time, then.

A vampire must learn to live among the living, invisibly.

A rule that once broken leaves both worlds forever changed.
