Armand: They had forgotten the first lesson, that we are to be powerful, beautiful, and without regret. Louis: And you can teach me this? Armand: Yes. Louis: To be without regret? Armand: Yes. Louis: Then what a pair we could make, but what if it's a lesson I don't care to learn. Armand: What do you mean? Louis: What if all I have is my suffering, my regret? Armand: Don't you want to lose it? Louis: Why? So you can have that too? The heart that mourns her, her that you burnt to a cinder. Armand: Louis, I swear that I... Louis: Ah, but I know you did. I know. You who regrets nothing, you who feels nothing, if that's all I have left to learn, I can do that on my own... and as much as your invitation may appeal to me, I *regretfully* decline.

Louis: That morning I was not yet a vampire, and I saw my last sunrise. I remember it completely, and yet I can't recall any sunrise before it. I watched its whole magnificence for the last time as if it were the first. And then I said farewell to sun light, and set out to become what I became.

"We belong in hell."--Louis to Lestat
23
Louis: Most of all I longed for death. I know that now. I invited it. A release from the pain of living. My invitation was open to anyone. To the whore at my side, to the pimp that followed. But it was a vampire that accepted.
24
Louis: Her blood coursed through my veins sweeter than life itself. And as it did, Lestat's words made sense to me. I knew peace only when I killed and when I heard her heart in that terrible rhythm, I knew again what peace could be.
25
Louis: For 30 years I had avoided that place. Yet I found my way back there with hardly an upward glance.
26
Louis: You lack the courage of your convictions sir, do it.
27
Claudia: Locked together in hatred. But I can't hate you Louis. Louis my love, I was mortal to you. You gave me your immortal kiss you became my mother, and my father, and so I'm yours forever. But now it's time to end it, Louis. Now it's time to leave him.
28
Claudia: You... fed on me. Louis: Yes. And he found me with you, and he cut his wrist and fed you from it and you were a vampire and have been every night thereafter. Claudia: You both did it. Louis: [crying] I took your life... He gave you another one. Claudia: And here it is, and I hate you both.
29
Louis: You see that old woman? That will never happen to you. You will never grow old, and you will never die. Claudia: And it means something else too, doesn't it? I shall never ever grow up.
30
Lestat: Your body's dying. Pay no attention, It happens to us all.
31
Louis: Lestat killed two, sometimes three a night. A fresh young girl, that was his favorite for the first of the evening. For seconds, he preferred a gilded beautiful youth. But the snob in him loved to hunt in society, and the blood of the aristocrat thrilled him best of all.
32
Louis: Where are we? Lestat: Where do you think, my idiot friend? We're in a nice, filthy cemetery. Does this make you happy? Is this fitting, proper enough? Louis: We belong in hell. Lestat: And what if there is no hell, or they don't want us there? Ever think of that? Louis: But there was a hell, and no matter where we moved to, I was in it.
33
Louis: I'm flesh and blood, but not human. I haven't been human for two hundred years.
34
Malloy: So, what do you do? Louis: I'm a vampire. Malloy: Hmm. That's something I've never heard before. You mean this literally, I take it? Louis: Absolutely. I was waiting for you in that alleyway, watching you watching me. And then you began to speak. Malloy: What a lucky break for me. Louis: Perhaps lucky for the both of us. Malloy: You said you were waiting for me. What were you going to do? Kill me? Drink my blood? All that stuff? Louis: Yes, but you needn't be concerned with that now. Malloy: You really believe this, don't you, that you're a vampire?
35
Santiago: But hark, methinks a mortal doth approach.
36
Claudia: Madeleine, Louis is shy. Madeleine: Drink. Claudia: Do it, Louis, because I cannot, I haven't the strength. You saw to that when you made me. Louis: You haven't the vaguest conception under God what you ask. Madeleine: Au contraire, Monsieur, I have. Claudia: You have found your new companion, Louis, You will make me mine.
37
Louis: We reached the Mediterranean. I wanted those waters to be blue, but they were black, nighttime waters, and how I suffered then, straining to recall the color that in my youth I had taken for granted.
38
Lestat: LOUIS! Put me in my coffin! Claudia: I'll put you in your coffin!
39
Lestat: Absinthe, absinthe... you've given them absinthe? Claudia: No. Laudanum. Lestat: Laudanum. Claudia: Yes. It killed them, unfortunately, but it keeps the blood warm. Lestat: You? You let me drink... dead blood? You... let me drink... dead blood? Claudia: One lesson you taught me: never drink from the dead! Lestat: Louis... Louis! Put me in my coffin. Put me in my coffin! Claudia: I'll put you in your coffin forever! [slashes Lestat's throat with a long knife]
40
Claudia: One lesson you taught me. Never drink from the dead.
41
Claudia: Goodnight sweet prince, may flights of devils wing you to your rest.
42
Claudia: Who will take care of me my love, my dark angel, when you are gone?
43
Louis: Vampires pretending to be humans, pretending to be vampires. Claudia: How avant-garde.
44
Lestat: Evildoers are easier, and they taste better.
45
Armand: You are beautiful my friend. Lestat must have wept when he made you. Louis: You knew Lestat? Armand: Knew him well enough not to mourn his passing
46
Claudia: Which one of you did it? Which one of you did it? Which on of you made me the way I am? Lestat: The way you are? A vampire gone insane that pollutes it's own bed? Claudia: And if I cut my hair again? Lestat: It will grow back again. Claudia: But it wasn't always so. I had a mother once, and Louis: he had a wife. He was mortal same as she and so was I. Louis: Claudia. Claudia: You made us what we are, didn't you? Lestat: Stop her, Louis. Claudia: Did you do it to me? [slashes Lestat's face, and it heals immediately] Claudia: How did you do it? Lestat: Why should I tell you? It's in my power. Claudia: Why yours alone? Tell me how it was done. Lestat: Be glad I made you what you are. (grabs her throat with one hand) You'd be dead now if I hadn't, just like that damned corpse. Now, get rid of it. (releases her) Claudia: You get rid of it.
47
Louis: So you want me to tell you the story of my life?
48
Daniel Molloy: What did you see? Louis: Words can't describe it, you might as well ask Heaven what it sees; no human can know.
49
Lestat: Do we forgive each other then?
50
Lestat: We are predators, Whose all seeing eyes were meant to give them detachment.
