He kills a lot of vampires. A LOT. Unfortunately he kills some pseudo-vampires too, and they kill him. The main old guy finally dies, saving the little girl in the process. Adam gets over it and puts the world back the way it was. The angel and demon go out for lunch. The cat sacrifices itself to save the church. It is to be assumed that he was actually the ARCHANGEL Michael. ---

Sting gets to keep his bar. [sub](way too many clues on this one, but hey, it’s a great movie)[/sub] He is the Quizats Haderat (spelled so horribly wrong, but if you know it, you know what I mean). It was neither the garters nor breathing through the eyelids that made him pitch good, though it might have been the abstinence. The catcher quietly makes his record in the minor legues then returns for the woman. The Captain is dirty, the prostitute really loves him and the new guy learns some important lessons. [sub](and Danny Devito dies)[/sub] He makes the cut, loses his leg years later, then finds a way to dive again. She wasn’t dead or a coward, they called in the air-strike to cover up their wrong-doing. He tells the family it was his fault. There is a reason it rains frogs. He suprises him and passes on the outside to win. They get married on the set of Jaws, the she gets to meet his mom and Willim finally sees the sailboat. They make it to Montana, but then one of them has to bring the others body back to Texas. ---
