And when she tells him that she's pregnant, she tells him, she plans to do it on her own because she can't count on him. One day a lawyer shows up and talks to him about the fact that twenty years ago he was a sperm donor over a year period and his sperm was used to father over 500 children. And now over 100 of them want to know who he is but because he signed a confidentiality agreement, they can't be told who he is. So they are going to court to try to get the confidentiality set aside. His lawyer tells him that they can win this. But when the lawyer who saw him gives him info on the one who want to see him, he takes a peek at one and decides to go see him and not tell him he's the father. He then goes out and checks out some of his other children and doesn't tell them who he is but makes connection with them. His lawyer tells him it could jeopardize their case, especially since he can get a big settlement which he can use to pay back some people he borrowed from who "tell" him to pay or else.

Quotes:
Lestat: How did you manage to slip through the 50's in red velvet?::Marius: I slept.::Lestat: Don't think you've missed much.::Marius: Elvis?::Lestat: Elvis, yes.::Marius: You're bigger than he is now.
Akasha: My children. Warms my blood to see you all gathered plotting against me.::Maharet: Akasha.::Akasha: Maharet. You will address my king first.::Jesse: Lestat, what has she done to you?::Marius: Lestat, step aside.::Lestat: Never.::Maharet: The world has changed since you reigned.::Akasha: Then we shall change it back. Human are animals. Brute creatures. Their destruction can only make sense.::Marius: Akasha, please!::Akasha: You think you can change my will? I've had enough of this discussion. Join me or die!::Maharet: I will not.::Pandora: I will not.::Armand: I will not.::Marius: I will not.::Akasha: [to Lestat] Do you love me?::Lestat: Yes.::Akasha: Then prove it. Kill her.::Lestat: She means nothing to me.::Akasha: Just the same. I'd like for you to kill her.::Maharet: You will not touch her!::Akasha: You dare to challenge me, Maharet?::Jesse: No it's all right, Aunt Maharet. It's what I want.::Akasha: How sweet.::Akasha: [after Jesse is killed] See my children? Remember your real family, or join hers.
Marius: A vampire's life is a life of discretion.::Lestat: Discretion? Why should we hide, Marius? We are the powerful. We are the immortal. We should walk fearless in the open.::[They both stop to watch a girl playing a violin]::Marius: That cannot be. We are vulnerable during the day. Mortals must never know of us.::Lestat: So I could never know her?::Marius: Not unless you wanted to kill her.::Lestat: So I can never be known?::Marius: You must be dead to the world.
Lestat: With all my black little heart.
[first lines]::Lestat: [voiceover] There comes a time for every vampire when the idea of eternity becomes momentarily unbearable. Living in the shadows, feeding in the darkness with only your own company to keep, rots into a solitary, hollow existence. Immortality seems like a good idea, until you realize you're going to spend it alone. So I went to sleep, hoping that the sounds of the passing eras would fade out, and a sort of death might happen. But as I lay there, the world didn't sound like the place I had left, but something different. [rock music begins] Better. It became worthwhile to rise again as new gods were born and worshipped. Night and day, they were never alone. I would become one of them. [feeds] Whether it was that first meal, or a hundred years of rest, I'm not sure. But suddenly I was feeling better than ever. My senses so high they led me straight to the instrument of my resurrection, playing in my old house.
Jesse: Boo.::Lestat: Boo back.
Lifestyle Journalist: Do you have anything you want to say to the other vampires listening out there?::Lestat: As a matter of fact, I do. Come out, come out, wherever you are.
Lestat: I don't have time for this.::Jesse: All a vampire has is time.::Lestat: Not this one!
Lestat: [chained to a bed] More!::Marius: I don't think so, my little lord.::Lestat: Let me go!::Marius: No. You've drunk the purest of blood, seen the oldest of things. Far too much for one as young as you.::Lestat: Her blood is like liquid fire. Who is she?::Marius: She is your mother. She is my mother. Akasha, queen of all who are damned. And he is her king. Akasha and Enkil nearly drank the earth dry when they ruled over Egypt. They drank and drank until Enkil lost his will to drink. Without a mate by her side, she lost hers. They became living statues. She has no respect for anything, except for the taste of blood: human and immortal alike.::Lestat: No! Release me!::[breaks through his chains, but Marius stops him]::Marius: She has made you quite powerful.::Lestat: You'll not stop me!::Marius: I can hear her blood in your voice. In all those years I've kept them, not once have they moved.::Lestat: Until tonight, and she chose me.::Marius: I chose you!
Lestat: Boo! That was quite a performance. You should learn to be more careful.::Jesse: Thanks.::Lestat: For what?::Jesse: You saved me.::Lestat: How presumptuous.

Plot: Colm is a Catholic and George is a poetry-loving Protestant. In Belfast in the 1980s, they could have been enemies, but instead they became business partners. After persuading a mad wig salesman, known as the Scalper, to sell them his leads, the two embark on a series of house calls--always in neighborhoods that are dangerous for one or the other partner. Then they find out they may lose their exclusive wig distributorship to competitors. Through a series of comic twists, the pair are given large orders for wigs by both sides of the Protestant/Catholic conflict. Should they compromise their principles in order to keep their business? Will it destroy their friendship? Could one of their wigs in the hands of the IRA actually put one or both of them in jail or even get them killed?

Then you can spend your days in a guilt free pursuit of more constructive activities like telling everybody ELSE how screwed up THEIR lives are. And then you no longer need the patience and understanding required to talk to your own son on some normal plain. And then that way you don't have to think about how tough it was for you when you were growing up and its probably a good thing too cause if you did, you'd realize what a lousy, goddamn shitty-ass parent you are!::Mrs. Bruce: Jeremiah... what has gotten into you?::Jam: [Yells over bullhorn to crowd of church-goers] I JUST LOST MY VIRGINITY IN A CONFESSIONAL BOOTH! LORD... HAVE... MERCY! Now, for the last time... Mom... Give me back my FUCKING drumsticks... [long pause] please.

Trip: Man, this is better than the first time I got to finger a chick, man.
Guido: Have you learned your lesson yet, puke?::Hawk: If the lesson is you're a dick with ears and a really bad haircut, I'd say yeah. I've learned my lesson.

Lex: Man I've never heard a girl blow ass before!

We can go there right after school and pick 'em up. My mom's not even gonna be there!::Trip: Dudes, hours from now, we're actually gonna be seein' KISS!::Hawk: All right, man.

Plot: The 'Exotica' is a nightclub on the outskirts of Toronto, where Eric, DJ and MC, watches nightly as his ex-girlfriend Christina performs. Watches jealously, especially as far as the extra attentions regular customer Francis garners are concerned. Thomas, meanwhile and erstwhile, goes through a series of, um, interesting situations involving his pet shop, a gruff taxi-sharing stranger, unexpected tickets to the opera and smuggled eggs of a rare bird. Multiple story lines unfold in a splendid tangle of cutbacks, forward and backward references and recurring themes, all woven around the Exotica, its customers and employees. A calm roller-coaster ride of a movie, visually and intriguingly and emotionally moving. O, and the sound track is notable, too.

And you, too, can - you, too, can have Kali come over to your table for only five dollars, where she can show you the mysteries of her world. Trust me, gentlemen, trust me.
Eric: Do it for me, baby! Oh! My god, that's incredible, incredible! Let me ask you something, gentlemen: What is it that gives a schoolgirl her special innocence? Her sweet fragrance... Fresh flowers, light as a spring rain... Oh, my god, my god... Or is it her firm, young flesh, inviting your every caress, enticing you to explore her deepest and most private secrets? Well, gentlemen, I'm gonna let you decide that one for yourselves. Please join me in welcoming a sassy bit of jailbait to our stage. Yes, indeed. Come out, sweet Chrissy! Wherever you are, baby, come on out!
Zoe: What is this thing about Eric calling you "a sassy piece of jailbait"?::Christina: What's this thing?::Zoe: It bothers me.::Christina: Why?::Zoe: It makes you out like a child or something.::Christina: Unlike the tartan skirt and my socks or the blouse or the way I act, right?
Christina: Do you have a lot of friends?::Eric: Not really...::Christina: Do you ever wish you did?::Eric: Yeah.::Christina: When?::Eric: Well... like... now, for instance.::Christina: Why?::Eric: Well... I just met you. And I feel like telling somebody about it.
Eric: He comes in here every other night. He has his favorite drink, and his favourite table, with his favorite dancer. Sometimes he has to wait for her, and sometimes she's waiting for him, to protect him. She's his angel.
Eric: Mmm, what? What is it? What is it that gives a school-girl her special innocence? Is it the way they smell? The sweet smell of their perfume... , of their hair? The aroma of fresh flowers... , and all that other stuff that hasn't been fucked up by late nights and a lot 'a bad food? Is it their gestures... , and the way they move? The way their body still holds on to some semblance of self-respect and... , and dignity? When they wrap their beautiful legs around you - tight, holding on - looking at you... , you looking at them. It's just... Or is it whatever comes out of their cute little mouths? All those questions, all that wondering that... It's just, you know, you... They got their whole lives ahead of them, you know? And you've wasted half of yours away. Damn. What is it?
