[Sees Nick lost in thought] Nick?
It's nothing, Nat. Another time. Another place.
You are everything I detest.
Well, well, a vampire with a conscience.
My very old friend Thomas wagered me he would be able to persuade you to deliver this most intelligent and beautiful woman to him by simply telling you what you so desperately wanted to hear. There may be a cure. Well, there isn't one, of course. When will you learn, Nicholas, that this quest of yours is a hopeless one, that it will only cause you and others misery? Normally, I hate to lose, but the look of utter foolishness on your face almost makes it worthwhile.
I want you to stay out of this. I think a child owes his father that much courtesy.
What about what a father owes his child? It works both ways, you know.
Let's see what your friend Schanke has to say about that shall we?
"A father provides love, guidance, discipline, protection and support." That's not bad.
He left out freedom.
So would I.
"Lieutenant Drake and his murdering minions should not have been punished for what they did? Why, Nicolas, no justice for the wronged? No vengeance? What about the victims of his ill-conceived crusade? What about my plantations?"
Love? A blip on the monitor of involuntary human response. A hiccup of emotion when compared with envy, hatred, lust. And just who was this Saint Valentine? A bishop, Roman, Third Century, got his head sliced off... ouch. For marrying lovers against his emperor's decree. You see, Claudius The Second believed that men made better warriors unmarried. Power comes with the absence of love. Love...drains us of our strength. We never learn, do we?
Does love. really exist in this hedonistic world of ours? Or is it only our selfish needs? Our own desires that fuel the potion. Does she love me, love me not... What does it really matter? One hellish alchemy if it does.
Just say no, love. . A colorful kewpie and an electric blanket will give you more satisfaction. Don't ever give them your heart.
Constant stars, the only comforting light, kill the pain, this incessant longing...
Love exists, it rages within, a silent scream of endless pain, and I shall commune to you, without equal, not death, not hell itself, but a precious, precious love, long withered, and gone...
You're not going to be young forever, Knight.
So who is the more powerful in the end - the hunter or the hunted?
I don't know. Perhaps there is a power greater than both.
And the possibility frightens you doesn't it?
But what kind of god is it that can create such perversity, that can make such torture?
Life will always find a way to cheat death.
Tonight, we mourn the loss of a dear friend. One moment so full of life, and the next, what was lies shattered and broken. Irretrievable. Beyond reach. Beyond hope. And we ask ourselves, 'if there is a God, how can this happen?' Better to ask, 'if there is a God... must it be sane?
So, did you learn anything while you were dying on me?
