[A woman walks outside the house from the kitchen door.]

Woman: Rudy! [Whistles.] Rudy. Come on! It's too hot to make me come looking for you.

KLAUS: I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.

Woman: Can I help you?

KLAUS: Yeah, my car hmm, my car ran out of gas a couple of miles back. Eh I feel like I've been walking forever yours is the first house I come to so I was just hoping I could use your phone?

Woman: Don't you have a cell phone?

KLAUS: Huh, yeah...[Pulls phone from pocket.] Battery died. Look, I promise I'm not a serial killer I just wanna use your phone.

Woman: [Sighs.] Sure.

KLAUS: Soo, I can come in?

Woman: No, I'll get the phone and I'll bring it out to you.

KLAUS: [Annoyed in her real accent.] I thought you country folks were supposed to be more trusting.Woman: I'm from Florida.

KLAUS: Well, that explains it. [He grabs her throat and compels her.] Now show me a little southern hospitality. Sweet pea.

[In the kitchen another woman is frying food and walks over to the counter with the frying pan.]

Other woman: I bet you a hundred dollars that dog ran off to a house with air conditioning.

[She turns around and sees the first woman and Klaus entering the kitchen. Klaus is holding the nape of her neck with one hand. The first woman is sobbing.]

Other woman: What's going on?

KLAUS: Please don't be alarmed. I was told Ray Sutton lives here.Other woman: He's almost never here. He's on the road mostly.

KLAUS: But I expect he makes it home, once a month. That's what I thought. Where is he now? [She doesn't answer.] If I have to make you tell me it's going to be infinitely more painful for you. Hmm. [He smiles.]

[The other woman runs out of the kitchen and opens the front door, but Stefan and Adela is standing in the doorway.]

Other woman: Aaaah!

[Klaus and the first woman come up behind her.]

KLAUS: I love it when they run!

KLAUS: Thank you my love. [He touches the first woman's hair.] Now, may my friends come in?Woman: [Crying.] Yes.

[The other woman looks terrified and Stefan and Adela goes in. Klaus pushes the first woman to Stefan.]

KLAUS: Kill this one quickly. [Looks at the other woman.] And make that one suffer. I'll be in the car.

[Klaus leaves with a grin and the women are crying.]

ADELA: [Looks at the woman] Me, him [she points to Klaus] not friends. [She turns around and leaves]
