Louis de Pointe du Lac quotes from Interview with the Vampire

Daniel

Does Malik know he's lunch?

Louis

Malik knows if he makes it on foot to Jumeirah Mosque by evening, he'll be paid enough crypto to, well, most anything he wants.

Daniel

Has anyone ever cashed in?

Louis

How was your lunch?

[Smiles while wearing Malik's sunglasses] Entertaining. (Malik) made it all the way to the Burj Khalifa.

Louis

Armand could see I was partial to you. Armand preserves my happiness, even when I don't or can't. He had a hunch you might prove fruitful in later times.

Daniel

Okay, sure. Let's go with that.

Daniel

All of your slickness at the bar, all that's gone.

Louis

What do I seem like now, boy?

Daniel

A veteran of many wars.

Louis

This, after all I've told you, is what you ask for, boy?

Daniel

Yeah, well, you don't know what human life is like. I mean you've forgotten, man. I mean you don't understand the meaning of your own story.

Daniel

Suicide hotline 101. Don't say to the person on the other end of the line, 'Hey, why don't you cheer the fuck up?'

Louis

I overreacted.

Daniel

Not sure that killing me was a totally warranted response to my idiocy.

Daniel

Turns out I had a copy saved in the cloud.

Louis

You're a liar, Daniel.

Daniel

So are you, Louis. Whether you know it or not.

Louis

I walked into the sun.

Daniel

You remember that?

Louis

I'm remembering it now.

Are you thinking of coming back to Paris? Trash piles and men who smell like cheese? Non, merci. No. We're going to wander.

Louis

Wander?

Mm-hm. [Louis chuckles]

Louis

Wander? This one? She of the straight line to the next X on the map?

This is the X, Louis. Alright. Okay, well... to finding the X.

Santé! Santé! How do you like my coffin? I wake up at night and the Phams aren't trading insults, Estelle isn't smearing makeup all over herself or humming off-key. [Claudia sings off-key] No one is forcing me to listen to their gossips or solve their petty crises. It's bliss.

Lestat

Still, we didn't make it easy for you. I'm sorry for that. You alright there? I cannot read your mind. The architects of our, uh... I made you, that's just the way it is. Yes, but I feel you, Louis. I feel you too, Madeleine. I told Claudia I can feel you love her... and we should see him once more. I'm glad you did. I'm glad we did this. I can feel you too. Through him. Yes, he loves you. Okay. Okay, well, let's get the hell out of my soul! He gets enough affection. I don't need his head getting too big to get out the door. Taking a stretch. Order me another, love. There he goes. Mm-hm, there he goes! Will he get through the door with that big head? [Madeleine laughs] Why don't you want him to know how much you love him?

Louis

That's a little personal. He knows.

Madeleine

Uh-huh.

Louis

He knows. They gave him a choice. He chose.

Santiago

[Hosting cabaret performance] Ladies and gentlemen! Madames et messieurs! Offal and offalesses! And all those who flourish outside the divide, welcome. For 150 years, we here at the Theatre Des Vampires have shown you "you". [Audience laughs] Your obscene predilections, your savage desires. But today, we're shunting human affairs aside. So if you want to kill your lover or fսck your mother, it'll have to wait. [Audience laughs] Because today... we're turning our lurid spotlight on ourselves! I stand before you in broad daylight at this first ever matinee at the Theatre Des Vampires to perform for your salacious gratification...

Yes!

Santiago

...us! Are you ready, you filthy animals?

[Shouts] Yes! Yes? [Audience cheers and applauds]

Santiago

Yes? [Audience cheers] The jury may be seated!

You were Lestat's. Now your Armand's.

Louis

Or Armand is mine.

I've been a third all my life. Not saying that to fight, just saying it's true. I feel like I get to pick one thing for myself. And it's her. A weird white lady I met by happenstance.

Without the burden of me.

Louis

I said it to get him through the door.

Did you mean it?

Louis

Does it matter? I got the result.
