Interview with the Vampire

movie still from Entertainment Weekly
Louis (Brad Pitt) Lestat killed two, sometimes three a night. A fresh young girl, that was his favorite for the first of the evening. For seconds, he preferred a gilded beautiful youth. But the snob in him loved to hunt in society, and the blood of the aristocrat thrilled him best of all.
Lestat (Tom Cruise) Read her thoughts.

Louis I can't.

Lestat The dark gift is different for each of us.
Louis freeing his slaves Hear me now. This place is cursed, damned. And yes, your master is the devil. Get out while you can! You are all free men! Do you hear me? Run! Flee! Save yourselves!
Louis Where are we?

Lestat Where do you think, my idiot friend? We're in a nice, filthy cemetery. Does this make you happy? Is this fitting, proper enough?

Louis We belong in hell.

Lestat And what if there is no hell, or they don't want us there? Ever think of that?

Louis But there was a hell, and no matter where we moved to, I was in it.
Lestat Evildoers are easier, and they taste better.
Lestat Evil is a point of view. God kills indiscriminately, and so shall we. For no creatures under God are as we are, none so like Him as ourselves.
Lestat All I need to find you, Louis, is to follow the corpses of rats.
Lestat You--you let me drink dead blood!?
Louis Vampires who pretend to be humans pretending to be vampires.
Armand (Antonio Banderas) The world changes. We do not. Therein lies the irony that finally kills us. I need you to make contact with this age.

Louis Me? Don't you see? I'm not the spirit of any age. I'm at odds with everything. I always have been.

Armand But, Louis, that is the very spirit of your age--the heart of it. Your fall from grace has been the fall of a century.
Armand They had forgotten the first lesson: that we must be powerful, beautiful, and without regret.
Lestat I assume I need no introduction.

Lestat Have you heard enough? I've had to listen to that for centuries.

The music is from Sting MIDI's.

You are the th visitor since 4/5/98.
