James har redan ett korrekt svar för dig, men här är ett transkript av scenen från filmens manus:
Marko suddenly arrives bearing cartons of take-out food.
MARKO: Chow time!
David takes the cartons from his hand.
DAVID: Chinese! Good choice. He pops the lid on one of the cartons and approaches Michael with it.
DAVID: Guests first.
Michael hesitates.
DAVID: It's only rice. Don't you like rice? 300 million Chinese people can't be wrong.
Michael takes the carton warily and David immediately turns his back on him, passing out food to the others. Michael takes a mouthful of rice using the plastic spoon provided. The others begin to eat as well.
DAVID: So how do you like those maggots, Michael?
MICHAEL: What?...
DAVID: You're eating maggots. How do they taste?
Michael looks at his food.
CLOSE ON THE CARTON - A thousand wiggling maggots, squirming and sliding over each other. MICHAEL spits out his mouthful in horror and revulsion and throws the carton to the ground. But as the carton spills out, we see that it is just rice after all.
The boys LAUGH UPROARIOUSLY. Michael looks mortified. Star gets to her feet.
STAR: Leave him alone.
DAVID: Sorry, Michael. No hard feelings, huh? (offers a new carton of food) Here. Try these noodles.
Michael looks at the noodles and his expression turns to one of disgust.
MICHAEL: Ugh!
CLOSE ON THE CARTON - A hundred squirming earthworms fill the container.
David tilts back his head and pours the contents of the carton into his mouth. The slimy bundle of worms slides slowly across his lips.
Michael looks on with a sick expression. He grabs David's arm.
MICHAEL: Don't! Stop!
DAVID: Why? (beat) They're only noodles.
David shows Michael the carton again. And sure enough, they are only noodles. Michael is baffled. The boys have a good, long laugh at his expense.
Otroligt nog, denna förmåga att få andra att se vad de vill, nämns aldrig igen, varken i den här filmen eller i de två uppföljarna. Och det är trots flera situationer där det skulle ha visat sig vara ganska användbart. Det är troligtvis bara ett nöje till tropen att vampyrer har den generiska "illusionens kraft".
