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.

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.

Louis Aubinard: I mean, I've got my doubts. I'm not totally convinced about God. If he's there, he's there. If he's not, he's not. In fact, if he is there at least I can say I've done more for him than he's done for me. He's performed no miracles for me, my friend. "Cast thy bread upon the waters and it shall be returned to you a thousand-fold." But what can you do with a thousand loaves of wet bread?"

Pianist: I've done miracles for your business and if you can't appreciate that then I can go elsewhere.::Norbert: Three hundred and fifty.::Pianist: No.::Norbert: Four hundred. And that's it!::Pianist: Plus travel expenses.::Norbert: But you walk here!::Pianist: I walk expensively.

Norbert: I don't think your friend will shave his beard.::Louis Aubinard: Why not?::Norbert: [whips around] Because he tried to wash my feet!::Louis Aubinard: Maybe he was trying to tell you something...

Norbert: What's your name?::Pianist: Franz Schubert. S-C-H... bert.

Pianist: Two fifty. Cash. And if it's not agreed to by the time I blow my nose, then it's gonna be five hundred an hour.

Louis Aubinard: Jesus cried out in a loud voice...::Pianist: My God, I'm so hungry!

Norbert: [toasting] Praise be to the Lord.::Norbert: Could we please leave him out of it?
