Leave (Daniel) alone, Armand! Leave him be, Armand! Stop!

Often it's someone carefully chosen for the harm he does the world with his chosen profession.
Have I atoned for my part of... Paris? Have I crawled an inch forward? Or am I a reminder of the worst of it?
If you wanted escape from this prison of empathy I've locked you away in, all you had to do was ask, Louis.
You left me for death. Will I be on suicide watch for the next 1,000 years?
Paris in the 1940s with its permissive laissez-aller sexual atmosphere was the more formative liberation for me.
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.
Okay, sure. Let's go with that.
All of your slickness at the bar, all that's gone.
What do I seem like now, boy?
A veteran of many wars.
This, after all I've told you, is what you ask for, boy?
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.
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?'
I overreacted.
Not sure that killing me was a totally warranted response to my idiocy.
Turns out I had a copy saved in the cloud.
You're a liar, Daniel.
So are you, Louis. Whether you know it or not.
I walked into the sun.
You remember that?
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.
Wander?
Mm-hm. [Louis chuckles]
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.
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?
That's a little personal. He knows.
Uh-huh.
He knows. They gave him a choice. He chose.
[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...
AAudience
Yes!
...us! Are you ready, you filthy animals?
AAudience
[Shouts] Yes! Yes? [Audience cheers and applauds]
Yes? [Audience cheers] The jury may be seated!
I want to get out alive.
RJRagland James
You want a book.
I want...both.

You fear Armand. You should fear the other one.
Little more vermouth next time, Rashid.
I can make another.
No, it's good. Just his were better.
