Club Vampire: Like him, do you?
Akasha: He reminds me of someone.
Club Vampire: All he's going to remind you of soon is a pile of bone. We're going to dismember him, bleed him dry.
Akasha: Really? Is that what you're going to do?
|
Lestat: With all my black little heart.
|
[last lines]
Marius: Hello, David.
|
Lestat: [in a TV interview broadcast worldwide - talking to all the vampires listening] Come out, come out, wherever you are.
|
Journalist: Yes, but these other vampires, aren't they going to be pissed off at you giving away their secrets?
Lestat: Mmmmm... I imagine they are... Yes...!
|
Lifestyle Journalist: Do you have anything you want to say to the other vampires listening out there?
Lestat: As a matter of fact, I do. Come out, come out, wherever you are.
|
Lestat: [after sensing Akasha has awoken] Akasha!
Marius: Arisen. She has taken the King's blood; absorbed his power.
Lestat: Good. Let her come.
Marius: Cancel the concert.
Lestat: Never.
Marius: You're no match for her Lestat, you're not a god. We were once mortals, too; it is our heritage we protect.
Lestat: Such reverence for mortals. Then you should have left me as one.
|
Lestat: Akasha!
Akasha: Why so surprised, my love? You've called, I've come.
Lestat: My love?
|
Lestat: Well, that makes you a very clever librarian, Talamascan. I knew I left that journal somewhere. So, was it a good read?
Jesse: It touched me.
Lestat: Did it now? Don't worry, Jesse. Your kind never satisfied my thirst.
|
London Groupie: I heard that Lestat keeps all his girls in his cellar, and it's really nice and they give you food and cable and weed.
London Groupie: Oh, please.
London Groupie: That's what I heard. But you have to let him suck you on your neck whenever he wants. Doesn't sound too bad.
London Groupie: I've done worse.
London Groupie: I'll say.
Roger: This way, girls.
|
Club Vampire: Your host... what's his name?
Jesse: Marius?
Club Vampire: Marius... Never heard of him.
Jesse: Of course you wouldn't, he's an ancient.
Club Vampire: There aren't any ancients left.
Club Vampire: They all turned to dust.
Club Vampire: So unless you got him in a bottle somewhere...
Jesse: You know you're brave joking like that, I wish you could meet him.
Club Vampire: And why's that?
Jesse: Because you might learn something.
|
Akasha: Join me or die!
|
Akasha: [regarding Jesse] I would like for you to kill her.
|
Akasha: I have come to give you the world.
|
Akasha: See my children, remember your real family, or join hers.
|
Marius: She takes pleasure in only one thing: destroying life.
|
[Teaching Lestat how to kill]
Marius: Appreciate your prey.
|
Lestat: [meeting for the first time in 200 years] So, after all this time, what's the occasion?
Marius: You've just become very hard to avoid these days, at least in conversation. What are you trying to prove Lestat?
Lestat: Oh please, it's a little too late to come over all paternal now Marius. Two-hundred years and not a word from you.
Marius: You almost cost me everything, and now you've done it again. This isn't the time to settle old scores.
Lestat: Vampires don't settle old scores, we harbor them.
|
Jesse: Thanks.
Lestat: For what?
Jesse: You saved me.
Lestat: How presumptuous.
|
Lestat: I don't have time for this.
Jesse: All a vampire has is time.
Lestat: Not this one!
|
Jesse: Boo.
Lestat: Boo back.
|
Lestat: You're beautiful to me because you're human. Your frailty. Your short years. Your heart. All that suddenly seems more precious than anything I've ever known.
Jesse: I'm not as precious as you think.
|
Club Vampire: Hi.
Jesse: Hi.
Club Vampire: Come here often?
Jesse: All the time.
Club Vampire: [Inspecting Jesse's neck] I don't see any marks.
Jesse: Well, you haven't seen the rest of my body.
Club Vampire: Is that an invitation?
Jesse: Sorry, I'm taken.
Club Vampire: And, where is your host?
Jesse: Oh... he's here somewhere.
|
Lestat: From that moment on, they were my friends, my children, my band. Giving the world a new god... me.
|
David Talbot: Can I ask...?
Jesse: What's it like?
David Talbot: Yes.
Jesse: Do you want to find out?
David Talbot: Me? No, no - I'm too old to live forever.
|
Lestat: A London goth. It's funny. I would have pegged you for a Talamascan.
Jesse: Maybe in another light.
LA Groupie: I'm an Episcopalian!
Roger: And I'm a friggin' Buddhist. Uh, Lestat...
Lestat: Roger, would you take our little Episcopalian back to church?
|
Lestat: Boo. That was quite a performance. You should learn to be more careful. So, you know Marius?
Jesse: I know a lot of things.
Lestat: Not how to stay alive, apparently.
Jesse: Oh, I guess we have that in common, though I think I'm a little ahead of the race, here.
Lestat: Well, I can fix that.
Jesse: Your song "Redeemer" is about the girl with the violin?
Lestat: Yes. And what else do you think you know?
Jesse: You want...
Lestat: What do I want?
Jesse: You yearn...
Lestat: What do I yearn... what do I yearn...?
Jesse: To walk with the living... out of the cold dark wasteland of eternity.
Lestat: Very good, Talamascan. I knew I left that journal somewhere.
|
Lestat: Many times I've called for Marius, but there was no answer. Just the endless procession of days, months, years... My teacher left me to my darkest lesson, that in the end, we are alone, and there is nothing but the cold, dark wasteland of eternity.
|
[first lines]
Lestat: [voiceover] There comes a time for every vampire when the idea of eternity becomes momentarily unbearable. Living in the shadows, feeding in the darkness with only your own company to keep, rots into a solitary, hollow existence. Immortality seems like a good idea, until you realize you're going to spend it alone. So I went to sleep, hoping that the sounds of the passing eras would fade out, and a sort of death might happen. But as I lay there, the world didn't sound like the place I had left, but something different.
[rock music begins]
Lestat: Better. It became worthwhile to rise again as new gods were born and worshipped. Night and day, they were never alone. I would become one of them.
[feeds]
Lestat: Whether it was that first meal, or a hundred years of rest, I'm not sure. But suddenly I was feeling better than ever. My senses so high they led me straight to the instrument of my resurrection, playing in my old house.
|
Akasha: My children. Warms my blood to see you all gathered plotting against me.
Maharet: Akasha.
Akasha: Maharet. You will address my king first.
Jesse: Lestat, what has she done to you?
Marius: Lestat, step aside.
Lestat: Never.
Maharet: The world has changed since you reigned.
Akasha: Then we shall change it back. Human are animals. Brute creatures. The destruction can only make sense.
Marius: Akasha, please!
Akasha: You think you can change my will? I've had enough of this discussion. Join me or die!
Maharet: I will not.
Pandora: I will not.
Armand: I will not.
Marius: I will not.
Akasha: [To Lestat] Do you love me?
Lestat: Yes.
Akasha: Then prove it. Kill her.
Lestat: She means nothing to me.
Akasha: Just the same. I'd like for you to kill her.
Maharet: You will not touch her!
Akasha: You still think to challenge me, Maharet?!
Jesse: No it's alright, Aunt Maharet. It's what I want.
Akasha: How sweet.
Akasha: [After Jesse is killed] See my children? Remember your real family, or join hers.
|
[Maharet has just become a living statue]
Armand: She drank Akasha's last drop. She took Akasha's death into herself.
Marius: No, she sleeps.
|
Marius: In all those years I've kept them not once have they moved.
Lestat: Not until tonight, and she chose me.
Marius: I chose you.
|
Lestat: How did you manage to slip through the 50's in red velvet?
Marius: I slept.
Lestat: Don't think you've missed much.
Marius: Elvis?
Lestat: Elvis, yes.
Marius: You're bigger than he is now.
|
Marius: A vampire's life is a life of discretion.
Lestat: Discretion? Why should we hide, Marius? We are the powerful. We are the immortal. We should walk fearless in the open.
[They both stop to watch a girl playing a violin]
Marius: That cannot be. We are vulnerable during the day. Mortals must never know of us.
Lestat: So I could never know her?
Marius: Not unless you wanted to kill her.
Lestat: So I can never be known?
Marius: You must be dead to the world.
