You were the prince of your district. Lestat chased an American icon out of town because he loved you. 1917 doesn't sound like it was such a bad year.
Rigged to burn, Daniel.

Mr. Louis, you have to convince Lestat to keep playin'.
Got a better chance makin' the Mississippi run north.
We had a good run, but I did it for Louis. I do everything for Louis.
We'll be together ten thousand nights, a hundred thousand. What we're doing is hard. Anything that wards off the dungs of the everlasting road we walk, the pleasures of the flesh, the pleasures of the kill, for me. Pleasures of the good book by the fire for you.
[Reading about Louis's grisly murder of Alderman Fenwick in the paper] I must confess, I'm very proud of you, Louis. It goes against much of my teaching, but you managed to execute it with such aplomb.
[Referring to the murder of Alderman Fenwick and the ensuing riots] I didn't do it for me. I did it for my city, my people. Destroy our businesses and buy the land for cheaper. I know what they're doing!
So that torturous death was for your people? That garish display of his body like some public art piece was for your people?
I didn't see this comin'.
Save that lie for yourself. Did you not smile when he begged? Did you not feel pleasure as you carved him up?
Maybe you saw it comin' and didn't stop me. Maybe you went quiet on purpose.
You did what you did because it gave you pleasure. Companion of the Dark Gift, finally. We should make this our anniversary.
I ran from the Quarter that night. Ran to where the violence spread most wild. I stumbled through the streets like an irrational child who had tested his strength on a small bird and now asked, 'Can I make it whole again?' Their faces raced past me like snow in a terrible wind, unaware that it was I who had brought this retribution, it was I who should pay for this sin. And then... one of those inconceivable moments where who you were before and who you'll be forever after is marked in time. A rooming house, now a fire trap. I could not save the Azalea. I could not save Storyville. I could not save the aunt on the wrong side of the wall, but I could save her. My light. My Claudia. My redemption.
How is your reading coming along?
For a killing machine, I kinda like her.
[Forcing Claudia to watch at Charlie in the incinerator] Stop squirming and watch. Remember this, his face as it melts. This is why we don't get close to mortals. Because sooner or later, they end up dead.
How does it work, love between two men?
It works like... I don't know. Works like love.
I'm not sure how I feel about that pleated skirt.
It's chiffon. It has movement.
Now here's a treat I think you're ready for. This is what the meat calls a 'lover's lane,' and by my estimation, no blood is sweeter. Young people, swollen with passion, denied spirits by this senseless prohibition, park along this lonely stretch to contemplate that most mysterious of mathematical equations -- how one plus one... becomes one.
They come out here to do math?
You've been too sheltered, my belladonnic beauty.
We need to talk about the house.
[Scoffs] Over the cold body of our mama. Was wonderin' why I got an invite this time.
You don't need it. You haven't needed it for years.
Well, good we've got each other's backs. [To his mother's body] Make you proud, you hear?
LLevi
We can pay you in installments.
You and your white daddy are doing fine in the Quarter. We can't pay you what it's worth and you don't need the money.
Vivid writer, isn't she? A singular style.
Anne Frank meets Stephen King.
There's a column in here about the history of this lovely square. It says that the man who designed it did so after the Place de Vosges in Paris. I can see that. Used to be called the Place d'Armes. I prefer that. Don't you?
Mm-hmm.
The Louisiana Purchase was signed here. Penny wise, franc foolish.
Say anything about how they used to take runaway slaves, cut their heads off, and pike 'em on the iron gates as a warning?
When your mother sees the Devil in your eyes, it's a hard assessment to abandon. Am I from the Devil? Is my very nature that of the Devil? I had hedged against the question, but now it completely overwhelmed me.
