From the recording DAYWALKER The Musical
Blade also expresses his own dream of a shared future for vampires and humans alike to his mentor, Jamal Whistler. But the man who raised Blade is set in his ways and can’t imagine that vampires and humans could ever get along.
Lyrics
WHISTLER
Hand me that wrench.
BLADE
Do you ever wonder if maybe there's another way?
WHISTLER
No. There's only one way to adjust a timing belt.
BLADE
That's not what I meant. I was talking about the nightstalkers.
WHISTLER
Hmmmph.
BLADE
Maybe we could educate them early. Right after they transform. Like, like you did with ME!
Teach them to value humans. I don't know.
WHISTLER
Oh brother. Yeah, maybe we could give them "our jobs" too!
BLADE
Get them jobs, yeah, good idea! Security, grocery nightshifts work like that. Maybe some on the job training. It could be a whole new --
WHISTLER
Or we could do what we do, put them out of their misery.
BLADE
Those vampires were just dancing and having fun. They weren't hurting anyone. Are we bullies?
WHISTLER
No, we're the bully prevention unit.
BLADE
Whistler...
WHISTLER
Yes, Blade?
WHISTLER
Why didn't you ever teach me piano?
WHISTLER
I got it! Try starting that engine boy!
