Conversations
- Lestat: But I never understood until I met you
Jessie: What do you mean?
Lestat: You’re beautiful to me because you’re human. Your frailty, your short years, your heart; even as you think it’s breaking. All that seems suddenly more precious than anything I’ve ever known.
Jessie: I’m not as precious as you think.
<P>
- Lestat: How did you manage to slip through the 50's in red velvet?
Marius: I slept.
Lestat: You didn't miss much.
Marius: ...Elvis.
Lestat: Elvis, yes.
<P>
Jesse: Boo
Lestat: Boo back <p>
- Lifestyle Journalist: Do you have anything you want to say to the other vampires listening out there?
Lestat: Yes, as a matter of fact, I do.
Lifestyle Journalist: What is that?<p>
Lestat: I don't have time for this.
Jesse: All a vampire has is time.
Lestat: Not this one!<p>
- Jesse: Thanks.
Lestat: For what?
Jesse: You saved me.
Lestat: How presumptuous.<p>
- 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. <p>
- Akasha: You're bold like your music. You live your life in the open like I did, long ago, when I had a king.
Lestat: Had a king?
Akasha: He is no more. Now you are my consort. <P>
- Lestat: A London goth. It's funny. I would have pegged you for a Talamascan.
Jesse: Maybe in another lifetime.
LA Groupie: I'm an a Episcopalian!
Roger: And I'm a friggin Buddhist. Uh, Lestat...
Lestat: Roger, would you take our little Episcopalian back to church <p>
- Lestat: Boo. That was quite a preformance. 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: O, 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 waste land of eternity.
Lestat: Very good, Talamascan. I knew I left that journal somewhere. <P>
- Lestat: Akasha!
Akasha: Why so surprised to see me, my love. You've called, I've come.
Lestat: My love? <P>
- 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. <P>
- Club Vampire: Fancy him do you?
Akasha: He reminds me of someone.
Club Vampire: Well all he's going to remind you of is a pile of bone. We're going to dismember him, bleed him dry.
Akasha: Really? Is that what you're going to do? <p>
- 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. <p>
- (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.<p>
- 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...! <p>
Lestat <p> (At start and voice over)
- 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 starts)
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 on pimp)
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.<p> - We are the powerful, we are the immortal! We should walk fearless in the open!
- From that moment on, they were my friends, my children, my band. Giving the world a new god... me.
- Many times I've called for Marius, but there was no answer. Just the endless precession 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.
- (in a TV interview cast worldwide - talking to all the vampires listening)
Come out, come out, wherever you are.
Akasha <p>
- Join me or die!
- I have come to give you the world.
- I would like for you to kill her. (To Lestat, regarding Jesse)
- See my children, remember your real family, or join hers.
Marius <P>
- She takes pleasure in only one thing: destroying life.
- Appreciate your prey. (While teaching Lestat how to kill)
