Stephanie Meyer's Twilight Series*:
Male Vampire: /Sparkle. Is it alright if I like...eat you...instead of have sex with you because I appeal to a younger audience and somehow cannibalism is more appropriate than regular-type romance?
Female Lead: /Swoon
Other guy: I think I'm a werewolf?
The End.
*I have not read any of these books or seen the movie. I just assume that this is pretty close.
In slightly more enlightening news, here is the quote that Mark Kingwell uses as the epigram for his Concrete Reveries. It's pure greatness.
"The situation of consciousness as patterned and checkered by sleep and waking need only be transferred from the individual to the collective...Architecture, fashion-yes, even the weather-are, in the interior of the collective, what the sensoria of organs, the feeling of sickness or health, are inside the individual. And so long as they preserve this unconscious, amorphous dream configuration, they are as much natural processes as digestion, breathing and the like. They stand in the cycle of eternity selfsame, until the collective seizes upon them in politics and history emerges."
-Walter Benjamin
