Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles Page #2

We're lucky to have such a home.

Pretend to drink, at least.

Such fine crystal shouldn't go to waste.

I know.

It gets cold so quickly.

We can live like this?

On animal blood?

I wouldn't call it living. Call it surviving.

Useful trick if you're on a ship for a month.

There's nothing in the world

now that doesn't hold some...

Fascination.

Yes.

- I'm bored with this prattle.

- We can live without killing.

It's possible.

Anything is possible.

But just try it for a week.

Come into New Orleans and let

me show you some real sport.

Lestat killed two, sometimes three a night.

A fresh young girl...

...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.

The blood of the aristocrat

thrilled him best of all.

The trick is not to think about it.

You see that one?

Widow St. Clair.

She had that gorgeous young fop

murder her husband.

How do you know?

Read her thoughts.

Read her thoughts.

I can't.

The '"dark gift'" is different for each of us.

But one thing is true of everyone.

We grow stronger as we go along.

Just take my word for it.

She blamed a slave for his murder.

Imagine what they did to him.

Evil-doers are easier, and they taste better.

Where are we going?

Nowhere.

Now, young man, you really amaze me!

I'm old enough to be your grandmother.

Oh, yes, that's the melody.

I remember it.

Murderer!

My little Papillions!

My butterflies, he killed them!

You... whining coward of a vampire...

...who prowls killing rats and poodles!

You could've finished us!

You've condemned me to Hell!

I don't know any Hell.

That's more like it!

Anger! Fury!

That's why I chose you!

But you can't kill me, Louis.

Feed...

...on what you will.

Rats, chickens...

...poodles.

I'll leave you to it...

...and watch you come around.

Remember:

Life without me...

...would be even more...

...unbearable.

Consider yourself lucky.

In Paris, a vampire must be

clever for many reasons.

Paris?

Here all one needs is a pair of fangs.

You came from Paris?

As did the one who made me.

Tell me about him.

You must've learned something from him.

I learned absolutely nothing.

I wasn't given a choice, remember?

You must know something

about the meaning of it all.

Why? Why should I know these things?

Do you know them?

That noise...

...it's driving me mad!

We've been here for weeks

with nothing but that noise!

They know about us.

They watch us dine on empty plates

and drink from empty glasses.

Come...

...to New Orleans then.

The Paris Opera's in town.

We can try some French...

...cuisine.

Forgive me if I have a

lingering respect for life.
