Adrian makes a rather terrible joke about the fact that Arthur does indeed look a bit too fine for a dead vampire. Aaliyah does NOT appreciate the joke. Adrian replies saying that seeing a vampire rising from the dead would be even less funny. Aaliyah asks if there's really a possibility that Arthur could be still alive. Adrian replies that yes, if he's actually a vampire, there's a possibility that Arthur might be alive and proceeds to check his teeth to confirm his theory.
"Only if you stake, behead or burn them. So far Arthur's body looks pretty intact, yeah... if we don't count the stabs all over his back, that is" replies Adrian, with a mischievous grin. Aaliyah scolds him: "You know, sometimes your lack of tact is really disturbing". "It'd be more disturbing to see him rising from the dead, trust me" Adrian replies back, as the two of them stare at Arthur's corpse on the floor. "Rising from the dead?" Aaliyah looks confused "you mean that Arthur could be still alive?" Adrian reaches forward with his hand to uncover Arthur's teeth: "'Alive' would be quite an euphemism, for a vampire. But yes, if I'm right, our Artie could be just knocked out. These monsters are tough to kill".

Adrian: Only if you stake, behead or burn them. So far Arthur's body looks pretty intact, yeah... if we don't count the stabs all over his back, that is.

Aaliyah: You know, sometimes your lack of tact is really disturbing.

Adrian: It'd be more disturbing to see him rising from the dead, trust me.

Aaliyah: Rising from the dead? You mean that Arthur could be still alive?

Adrian: 'Alive' would be quite an euphemism, for a vampire. But yes, if I'm right, our Artie could be just knocked out. These monsters are tough to kill.
