[Sets down bowl] Soup for cigarettes. Bad trade for you. But God will forget when you die. God "not" forget.
MorganAmericans? I haven't heard a word of English in half a year. Say something, anything.
Uh, something, anything.
MorganOh! Hello.
Hello.
What am I talk?
MorganOh, you, darling, are talk broken English by an Englishman too enamored with his student to do the job properly.
Mm-hm. This Robert.
Uh, Louis.
MorganShe's a quick studier actually and very resourceful and I'm desperately in love with her. I hear you have vodka.
This Morgan.
MorganMorgan Ward, correspondent Daily Herald. They've forgotten I'm here. And I've forgotten your name already.
It's, uh, Louis.
MorganLouis! Louis, wonderful strange. Welcome to, no question, hell on Earth! And you? What's your name, sweetheart?
Why are they shooting up graves outside? This is my daughter, Mary.
MorganOh. [Holds up cigarette] Uh, Andrei. Maybe you can take Mary here to meet the other children.
I'm fine, sir, thank you.
Go ahead, Mary. Go and meet the other children. I bet they know everything about this place. [Claudia takes the hint and leaves then cut to scene of interview] Wait, that's wrong. She didn't say that in front of Claudia.
Say what? Who?
The wolves, the Germans, something worse. Emilia, she would not have said that in front of Claudia. [Flashback] She thought Claudia was a child. Claudia left. And then she said it. [Flashback of Emilia sitting at table after Claudia leaves] Yes. Yes! That's how it went. We should get every detail right.
In total agreement. Perhaps this would be a time to take a break, Louis. You know, Real Rashid, I'm pretty good at my job, a bright young reporter with a point of view. Interviewed a fallen Catholic archbishop, four Enron vice presidents, and if they've got something to hide they always start with some kind of disguise. Not literally, not some dumb Halloween costume, gloves, contact lenses. They tell jokes, they're charming. And then at some crisis point, when I get close, it drops away and I see a flash of the truth.
Armand didn't want me to do the interview, Daniel.
Still don't.
But he wanted to be close to it, right, Real Rashid? I mean, hey, whatever it is they're trying to hide, I'm probably not going to crack it, which is, you know, who cares? Happens all the time. But I wanna ask you, as a member of the inferior species, why say, "Hey, vampires are real. Here's almost all the story"? Thank you, Rashid. That's why I'm coming after you, Real Rashid. You I can fսcking break! If you'll excuse me.
