00:00Watch The Vampire Lestat After Dark on AMC Plus or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:30Is it true you were a stutterer as a child?
00:32His name's Raglan James.
00:34Mr. Malloy would like to stay alive, Rashid.
00:37Got me wondering what it'd be like.
00:38Ride with others, huntin' a pack.
00:41The Tooth Team, the Fang Gang.
00:45I assume a privileged individual such as yourself enjoys a little dirt in their sandwich.
00:50So I serve it to you now.
00:52You're for real?
00:53How it felt then.
00:55Fledgling.
00:56Lover.
00:57Mother.
01:01You are listening to The Failures.
01:04Album 8, Side A.
01:07If you're still listening after the...
01:10Eid Epiphany of the last hour, welcome back.
01:14I've been fondling my thoughts since the last album, and I believe there might be value added in illuminating the
01:21why and how I became me in their light of said Eid Epiphany.
01:26You've weathered the Freudian storms, and yes, that boat is a penis, and yes, that ocean is my mother's vagina.
01:34Kiss, grope, aftercare, onward.
01:39Picture Auvergne, France, 1772.
01:43Picture the dingy seat of the Liencourt family at the fag end of a thousand years of aristocratic decline.
01:50Picture my five dead siblings.
01:54Aristide, Marie, Jules, unbaptized.
01:57And Fustin, garden gnomes guarding the undulating domestic bliss of our great hall.
02:03The boy possesses an ability to envision the unseen, the holy, and he would be well-suited to the monastic
02:09house at Haute-Loire.
02:10And what will you get for this favor?
02:13A silk line cassock?
02:15Nothing, monseigneur.
02:16I see goodness in your son.
02:19Are you a good boy, Lestat?
02:24Answer your brother, Lestat.
02:28I...
02:29I...
02:31Don't...
02:34Don't...
02:35Don't...
02:36Don't...
02:37No, no, he doesn't, no?
02:40My son, the Hiccab, the next Pope.
02:43We can mend his affliction.
02:45Pope?
02:45Let's be fit his wife and station.
02:48Titles.
02:48One on the blood-soaked fields of France.
02:51The other one on the blood-soaked fields of France.
02:57If I count on the blood-soaked fields of France, it will be worth it.
03:01In time, he would learn to find consolation in philosophy.
03:05What is the course of studies at Haute-Loire?
03:07Aristotle.
03:09Erasmus.
03:26I...
03:30The innkeeper tells me he brought these actors back to the inn.
03:35Buys them a sum of wine, beyond obligation.
03:39Half the village there, waiting for me to pay.
03:43Tenants asking me this.
03:45The escape was not an option for Gabriela Vecci.
03:49The Marquis had promised her preservation and delivered her ruin.
03:53On stage with all and all masters.
03:57He wants a taste of the theater.
03:59You tell him to bed one of them.
04:01You don't open the wagon and join up!
04:10She sacrificed her youth, squandered her intellect, and paid a midwife to nick her in the womb so he couldn't
04:16humiliate her anymore.
04:17Who does act in the square like a beggar?
04:20Like an actor!
04:21After a gong farmer, then an actor!
04:23Better an actor, then a cabbage.
04:25Look up from your book when you speak to our father, huh?
04:29Cabbage? Cabbage? Cabbage...
04:45Love nothing, do nothing, change nothing!
04:47Seat and supper!
04:49Am I suffering?
04:50Is it Grégoire?
04:51A question for the philosophers.
04:54Can a cabbage suffer?
05:02One hour on stage.
05:05An hour of not displace.
05:09It's dampness and dimness.
05:11And you're Pocamark the wife.
05:13And Grégoire jamming his cock into servant girls like he's saucing pork.
05:19Cabbage!
05:20And the start speaks!
05:22Cabbage!
05:23Averse with players in a wagon!
05:26Cabbage!
05:27Say cabbage...
05:30One more goddamn time.
05:36Cabbage!
05:37Break his legs!
05:39Cabbage!

08:58You killed five wolves by yourself.
09:06Eight. Not five.
09:14Two about my horse.
09:19My dog.
09:27Eight.
09:33Do the wolves look worse?
09:40There's a mob came yesterday, again tonight.
09:44They wish to worship you.
09:47Your father and your brother spent with shame.
09:53Come down.
09:55You'll enjoy it.
09:57From room to room.
10:01Slaughtering the three of them.
10:04That's what I dreamt when I killed the wolves, mother.
10:13You know what I dream?
10:20I'm drinking wine.
10:23So drunk.
10:25I dream of my clothes and bath in the mountains.
10:29Dream.
10:31Maggie.
10:32I'm drinking.
10:36I go into the village, into the inn, and I take into bed any man that come.
10:55Crude men, big men, old men, boys, taking them one after another, and feeling some magnificent release in it.
11:13No thought of your father or your brothers in that world.
11:27I belong to no one.
11:34Except for me.
11:49I'm dying.
11:54I won't survive the winter.
11:57Mother?
12:00Ah!
12:04Ah...
12:06Ah...
12:07Finish it, be as a mob to bless.
12:14Mother!
12:17Ah!
12:20Aaa!
12:22Mama!
12:23Ahhh.
12:46I saw them, too.
12:48Oh, and the drug mule contributes a complete sanded.
12:51Social media coordinator.
12:52Oh, check your contract.
12:54It says cocaine whore bucket.
12:56I know, but I saw a lawyer.
12:58I saw a guy kill another guy right in front of me.
13:02Vampire.
13:02What the Killjoy second guitarist may or may not have witnessed was one vampire acting
13:07in self-defense.
13:08But he signed a unilateral, which is a one-way street that I control.
13:12Suitcase bomb.
13:15Where are we?
13:17Buckeye State.
13:18Do you have the fire gift?
13:20Oh, my God.
13:22Oh, my God.
13:25What the fuck?
13:26How did I get you?
13:28Sofia.
13:28Sofia.
13:29Forgotten my name already?
13:32Oh.
13:33Hello.
13:34Sofia.
13:35Sofia.
13:37I'm sorry.
13:38Are we just, like, not going to talk about last night?
13:40Are we not going to talk about, like, the year and a half of weird bullshit that you've
13:44been putting us through for the past, like, year and a half?
13:45On top of the fact that you can fly?
13:46And you didn't feel like that was at all important to tell us?
13:48Something's on fire.
13:48We've been up all day and we've got, like, a shit-ton list of questions, man.
13:52Like, what wells can you do?
13:53Mm-hmm.
13:54Yeah.
13:54Like, where do you put the body?
13:55Don't answer that!
13:56And when was the last time you talked to Armand?
13:58I could have hung it up there, too, I guess, but we sounded really good in Detroit.
14:03And there were another thousand beautifully unwell to serve in Ohio, and she had come a
14:08great distance to comfort me, and, um, you are being very patient regarding the vampire
14:15incest factor, and I do appreciate it.
14:18Do you guys play baseball?
14:19Yeah!
14:20One at a time.
14:22One at a time!
14:23One at a time!
14:24Please!
14:25One at a time.
14:35One at a time!
14:36I'm a little killer, I'm a lonely one.
14:39I'm a struggle gunna have your spine tellin' you to run.
14:43I'm a living shadow, I'm the last line.
14:47I'm the past and the future, the last of Azusa, the cool and dead!
14:51Where the rock and roll is?
14:53Where they get pain?
14:55Where the heart of me, love and the face of the mother, where there's no
14:58Stupid Ram
14:59Baby
15:01Baby
15:03Baby
15:05I fall down
15:09On the ground
15:13I fall down
15:18Burn down
15:19Baby
15:21Baby
15:23Baby
15:25Baby
15:25Baby
15:26Baby
15:26Baby
15:28Baby
15:28Baby
15:29Baby
15:31Baby
15:31Fabulous. Moving on.
15:36Do you kill people?
15:39I sleep, I think, I sing, I contribute to local cars.
15:43Do you kill people?
15:44I drain people.
15:45What is the difference?
15:46I don't have to kill when I drain. I do it on stage every night.
15:49The small cub.
15:50How many people do you kill at night?
15:52How many people?
15:53This is what I have Fareed for.
15:55Yeah, that's also why you have a body double.
15:58You tell them.
15:59He gets most of his blood from the farm.
16:02Most?
16:02The farm?
16:03It's like a blood bank.
16:05People donate and they're handsomely compensated. It's all highly ethical.
16:08They tap college burnouts and attic rung bingo games. Cash only, no questions.
16:14Whoa, whoa, whoa. So you're a vampire too?
16:16Three of us. Nine of you. Out and proud.
16:20Three. Three. Three. Three.
16:22Three. Three.
16:22Hi, name's Daniel. I'm a Taurus on the cusp of Aries. I prefer A, B negative. Who's your maker?
16:29Have you tried RH? No. Only 45 people on the planet possesses. Only nine active donors.
16:37Tell me all about it, babe.
16:40Hey, hey, look, hey, this isn't a goddamn joke.
16:42Man only meeting!
16:48I understand the panic. You saw something that you didn't want to acknowledge.
16:54But willful ignorance is sleep in a giant's hand.
16:57Willful ignorance.
16:58Oh, come on. Have you ever seen me in the light of day?
17:00Armand is a day walker.
17:01Did you help me hose off my Mustang at a self-service car wash in Spokane?
17:06You said that was a deer.
17:06As D-E-A-R as any KFC night manager has a right to be.
17:10Okay, so you do kill people.
17:12Vampires have been among you your entire lives.
17:15We've been a part of the ecological landscape for thousands of years.
17:18You've been in my band for over a year and a half.
17:20It's not your band. It's our fucking band.
17:22Jesus Christ, you're such an asshole.
17:23In fact, you've all been protected numerous times without being made aware of it.
17:27What?
17:28What we're doing, the confessional nature of the songs,
17:31performing for mortals, the insights into vampiric desires, it's all...
17:35It's all sacrilegious to vampires.
17:37What?
17:38It's not a worry. I have the blood of Akasha in me.
17:40Sorry, what the fuck is Akasha?
17:42What is important and what we should be celebrating is what we did on stage last night.
17:46Are all your songs about this guy, Lewis?
17:48We were raw and nasty, transcendent.
17:51Excuse me?
17:52And I lost you.
17:54You know.
17:55It's Louie, not Lewis.
17:57And you, you were referring to, could be one of two dozen paramours at Pompeii throughout the centuries.
18:02Who's that villain sneaking up from behind with the knife in his hand and a mouthful of life?
18:05We were beyond epic last night.
18:07I pulled the knife from my cane and I held it up to his stock's throat.
18:09And that is what we are all scared about.
18:09I want to stay in bed.
18:11Eating black licorice is not about sucking Lewis's dick.
18:13Black licorice is about the first kill I made after Louis and I reconciled.
18:18I'd say, I'm calling the cops.
18:20I lived 54,554 days before I met Louis de Pointe du Lac.
18:25You kill people.
18:26I'm people.
18:27We're people.
18:28And so was I.
18:32No vampire was born a vampire.
18:36F this.
18:38F you.
18:39We quit.
18:42Come on.
18:46Larry.
18:48They don't want to speak, but, um, being a vampire, I can tell you what they're thinking.
18:54Would you like to know what they're thinking?
18:57Fifteen hundred when we started.
19:00Twenty thousand followers now.
19:02He killed the sound technician in Denver that muddied my solos on purpose.
19:06And he is glad that I killed him.
19:09Except I didn't kill him.
19:10I merely fired him, Larry.
19:12Fate's entourage.
19:14The brooms.
19:15The tits.
19:15The dime store darlings.
19:17Bukkake ice helmet.
19:18And four others that are not as good, but just as successful.
19:21If I don't hit it now, I'm gonna marry the bum and have a baby.
19:29Finn Lizzy sucks.
19:31We'd sound better with one guitar.
19:33I don't think that.
19:34Yeah, she does.
19:36It's Alamander.
19:37Another one of Alex's vegan, straight edge, bullshit mood swings.
19:43You'll find a meeting and be back tomorrow.
19:46Dude.
19:48And I make it a rule never to sleep with my bandmates.
19:56TC was talking about Larry, not you.
20:00You are the best pure musician we have, other than me.
20:05So take your time, Alex.
20:08Process it, as they say.
20:10But think thrice before running to the police or sharing in one of your anonymous groups.
20:16Not if you value your life.
20:18Or your brother's.
20:23You are listening to The Failures.
20:26Album 12, side B.
20:31There's a dearth of privacy on a vampire rock tour.
20:34The bus, shared hotel floors, roadies transporting coffins, etc.
20:39And as front man, you're encircled by those who invariably want something from you.
20:44Now my mother, Gabriela Vecci, rest her soul, was a complicated hand.
20:49But my fledgling, the vampress Gabriela, was anything but.
20:54And with the bandit soundcheck and Yarda playing billiards on the other side of town,
20:58she and a less pharmaceutical challenged me, found an evening to catch up and kill time.
21:03And there was simply no one in the garden more effortless in killing time than her.
21:08Why were you in Chicago?
21:10I wasn't.
21:11I was glamping in Vucevic.
21:15You lied.
21:16My maker called for his mama and I came.
21:21And came.
21:23And came.
21:24Yeah, about that.
21:25I know. We really shouldn't.
21:28We need to make a pact if you're gonna stay.
21:31Up to you.
21:32I want you to stay.
21:34A pact then.
21:37Companionship without the calm.
21:39We needn't you lie.
21:42Weave a basket and fill it with bullshit.
21:47I missed you.
21:51We met in Italy, of course.
21:54Mmm. The Ambrosian Carnival, of course.
21:57Of course.
21:57And we wore the same costume, of course.
22:01And raced across the Piazza del Duomo to see who would slap each other first.
22:08And then you unmasked me and, well, this face.
22:15I recognized myself, Hilly.
22:21Yeah.
22:22See, it comes back around again.
22:24Hmm.
22:27How long are you gonna stay?
22:32I saw you two times last century. It's not an unreasonable question.
22:37Long enough?
22:40Long enough for what?
22:43Long enough to see you sing.
22:46For you to show me munchie.
22:50Wilmington.
22:52Food courts.
22:55I want to play cornhole.
22:59Rest on the rust belt.
23:00All the speed on the floor.
23:02All the moist cavities.
23:04We scuse me.
23:05I want to know this Paisa Grasso.
23:07How it hypnotizes my son for a century.
23:10We scuse me.
23:14Can I take you to dinner, Sofia?
23:18I would love that.
23:20We thank you.
23:23In a glass corner of a glass building,
23:26a group of building glass salesmen were closing a sale
23:29of a substantial amount of glass sold to a company in yet-to-be-tariffed Germany.
23:35There was to be ritualized Saturnalia in both countries that night,
23:38and we invited ourselves to the one closest to.
23:42A study commissioned by the Centers for Disease Control
23:46on rates of depression in midsize American cities
23:48ranked Toledo number two on their list.
23:51Heads are down in Toledo,
23:53which makes it a fine city to travel via the cloud gift,
23:56which was Gabriele's preferred mode of murder transport.
24:00Why take so many cars?
24:03Triumph is a dark road, Sofia.
24:05And each man must find his own exit.
24:08The worst reveal themselves through time in Negroni.
24:12Nine at the indoor golfing range.
24:14Seven eating seafood towers at the chop house.
24:18Five crept out at the casino.
24:20And then there were three.
24:22All tippling by the time we plummeted back down the backside of Chubbs,
24:27a bar contetta blocks off the Mome River.
24:31Our hunger propelled us inside,
24:33and we watched as the remaining items on the menu
24:36marinated themselves in the pole-ravaged sweat
24:39of sex-positive, sex-cynical, sex-stipulated dancing.
24:45They had closed their deal, and we would close ours.
24:49We watched them.
24:50Watched them.
24:52And only some time later would I understand we were being watched as well.
24:56By those who were always there.
25:00A curious tangle of hunters and hunted.
25:03That warm spring night.
25:07And then it happened again.
25:12Are you a good boy, Lestat?
25:15An unamusing muse.
25:18Was this the first soldier over the wall the Oracle Jenks forewarned me about?
25:23Or the last fumes of Detroit?
25:25If you're ever homesick, there's a classy Italian place on Adam Street.
25:31Do they have spaghetti?
25:32Do you work here?
25:35Oh, go on. What about the...
25:36Oh, that...
25:40Lover.
25:41Where are you?
25:42I'm with Sophia.
25:42I don't wanna know.
25:44You have to do a sit-down with Thomas Pitt and lawyer tomorrow.
25:46That's your job, lover.
25:47I'm doing my job, motherfucker.
25:49No more. We have a pact now.
25:52What?
25:53Who's Thomas Pitt?
25:55The owner of the hotel you defiled in Detroit.
25:57His lawyer says he's a fan and would appreciate an exclusive fan experience.
26:01Yes.
26:02Do I have to fuck him?
26:03Yes.
26:04Call it over, go to coffin.
26:06Fine.
26:10Thank you, Carol.
26:11Do you work here?
26:13Did I ever ask that?
26:18You really have to understand that Vampire Gabriella, when she wasn't free soloing a mountain or stirring a singing bowl
26:26in some dreary village, she was good company.
26:32Even as you're being out-monstered, out-bantered, it feels good.
26:37Like watching blood down a staircase feels good, or finding a party invitation in your victim's pocket.
26:45Well, I mean, that doesn't happen anymore to empty invites, but...
26:48Being with Gabriella is like...
26:54Like...
26:55Like...
26:56Like...
26:59Ah, predatory spirit.
27:02A good candidate for the great conversion.
27:07Well, Randy, last man standing, loves glass.
27:15Also knows somewhere inside that he does not love glass.
27:25I'm starving.
27:29Shall we take them both now? One each?
27:33I want to share mine with you.
27:36So we wait.
27:38We wait.
27:42Do you have a lot of sex?
27:48I'm a rock star now.
27:51Of course.
27:52Do you like it?
27:56Like you do the blood.
27:57Like you do the blood.
27:59It's never like the blood.
28:07We couldn't help ourselves.
28:12We rode the edges of our pact.
28:19Hey, just leaving the job post.
28:21You okay to drive?
28:22Yeah, yeah, of course.
28:23Daddy!
28:24Hey, kiddo.
28:25What are you doing up?
28:26I can't sleep.
28:28Back to bed.
28:29Listen to your mom.
28:30I'll give you a kiss when I get home.
28:31Okay.
28:33I love you.
28:34Okay, bye.
28:37You are listening to The Failures.
28:40Album 15, Side B.
28:43Estimates on the structural damage are still being calculated.
28:46So the figure we've put forth was based on comps the engaged architectural firm provided.
28:51Comps?
28:51For a hotel hallway massacre?
28:53Comparable damages to comparable spaces.
28:55I'd like to add a line for cascading glass.
28:57The parking structure below had a fleet of vehicles lacerated.
29:00These cleanup numbers are made up.
29:02The cleanup numbers in this case are mostly going towards silencing witnesses.
29:05This is not my first clown rodeo, Grace Jones and Gucci.
29:07And Salt received his compliment.
29:08Anyone who won't take a couple thousand in an envelope, you guys do the mind wipey thing
29:12so you could take that line item and hold it over your vampire bidet.
29:15We could have done the shit over the phone.
29:16According to Mr. Pitt here, your client's the one who called this meeting.
29:19He did no such thing.
29:20You stole my personal physician.
29:23You hired my biographer.
29:24You trashed my hotel.
29:25The Detroit Coven Traster Hotel.
29:28I've heard the song.
29:29The songs are not about you.
29:31It feels like a cry for help, so I flew in because I care.
29:37Oh, just as you cared in your book.
29:39We've been through all this.
29:40The fact that you insulted me page after page after page.
29:44Take it up with Molloy who wrote it or the Tala Mosca who published it.
29:47Why are you employing Sam Barkley after Paris?
29:51He's paying down his debts.
29:52Bottom line, Molloy.
29:54All students negotiated.
29:55Sam didn't get on a boat.
29:56We're here to litigate.
29:57Sam didn't memorize it.
29:59He got direct a play and then come home canoodling with one of its victims.
30:02Did he?
30:02Who did that, I wonder?
30:04Repeat the name.
30:05That would be Armand?
30:06Armand!
30:09San Diego, I could understand.
30:10At least he had a presence, but...
30:12I'm happy to discuss Armand if you think that would help you.
30:15Is it true that you had a second home in Sausalito with him?
30:18We did.
30:19Did you take turns driving across the Golden Gate Bridge who held the wheel harder?
30:23Yeah.
30:23Writing numbers on each other's backs and pretending to guess them wrong.
30:27I bet.
30:28I bet!
30:29Come on.
30:30One very specific detail to pluck out of thin air!
30:33What are they for?
30:34Are we taking minutes of this?
30:36I think we can wrap this up dispassionately.
30:38Yes, let's try and circle back to the particulars.
30:42Are you two fucking?
30:44Yes.
30:47Companion enough for yourself or you're over?
30:49He's not my companion.
30:51He's a great lay and emotionally unavailable.
30:55You doing her?
30:56Yes.
30:58Petite, surprising, and can perform what most metropolitan training systems can only dream of.
31:04Okay.
31:06Are you enjoying this exclusive fan experience?
31:09I am.
31:10Christine, could you please provide two tickets to Mr. Pit here and his Esquire for tomorrow night's show?
31:16Which one will do?
31:17Lemuel doesn't enjoy your music.
31:19I do like your merchandise, though.
31:21Healthy margins considering the size of your tour.
31:23That's why I own 40% of it.
31:26Of my merch?

41:28Et partout que le monde a bougé la nature
41:34We shall head home to the tower
41:39The night is young, we travel so fast we could be there in an hour
41:45I'm on there
41:55Je demandais souvent d'être un quartier
41:59D'en admire pour un jour le terrain qui m'a mis
42:08Le vin rend l'œil plus clair et l'oreille plus fin
42:18Je cherchais dans l'amour un sommet oublié
42:27Mais l'amour n'est pour moi que m'a de la d'agouille
42:33Ve pour donner à boire, à zégrouer l'fu
42:38Mais l'amour n'est pour moi que m'a de la d'agouille
42:43Ve pour donner à boire, à zégrouer l'fu
42:49Je ne suis pas la d'agouille
42:55Je ne suis pas la d'agouille
43:00Je ne suis pas la d'agouille
43:27There were eight people on the ark.
43:29Noah, his wife, his three sons, and their three wives.
43:34Eight people, and now, somehow, eight billion.
43:40At some point in your privileged family tree is the thing we are discussing now.
43:46And familiar relations were not a standalone crime in the 18th century.
43:52And she was dying when she came to see me.
43:57Fuck it.
43:58It's different for vampires. That's it.
44:00Distribution of fentanyl for half of Michigan, operation of an unsanctioned and unsanitary farm from their home,
44:08and in a surprising labor of ambition, managed to take down the miso power grid the other night.
44:15Not the pneumatic tube the upper floor wants to receive.
44:18So real Rashid is really Rashid? That's his actual name?
44:21Ah. Um, I emphasize the first syllable, Rashid. Rashid. Do you have a preference?
44:29No.
44:31I have a plane waiting for me.
44:33This coven in Detroit. They were the ones responsible for the damage to your property.
44:38I'm insured, and I knew that already.
44:40They tried to decapitate your love.
44:42What's the ask, Mr. James?
44:47We would like you to...
44:49take care of our problem in Detroit, Mr. Dulac.
44:54No.
44:54One, we're understaffed and overworked.
44:57The exponential growth in your numbers not helping matters.
45:01Two, the shop's protocols of engagement limit our roles in these kinds of operations.
45:06We clean up. We don't make the mess.
45:10And three, you're extremely skilled at dispatchment, Mr. Dulac.
45:16Paris, Dubai. How many in Dubai, Rashid?
45:2031.
45:2031?
45:2132, if you count Agent Talbot.
45:24No great loss. None of us like too much.
45:26I only kill those who come for me first.
45:28The coven leader's name is Killer.
45:30Tell Vampire Sam I'm gonna need him in Vegas and Reno next month.
45:34Been tracking him since 1925. A coffin offloaded from a boat out of Copenhagen.
45:40I don't care.
45:42Went by a different name then.
45:44His name was Bruce.
45:50Bruce.
45:52Hmm.
45:53I believe your Claudia spent a few nights with him once.
45:58Hmm?
46:05Listen to tracks from the Vampire List ad wherever you stream music.
46:12Evening then, I'm good to be here.
46:18Nicolas D'Enfant.
46:20Restore?
46:21What's he doing in Paris?
46:22Give me a million more screams.
46:28Your mother?
46:32I want you to lie enough to give it to me.
46:41How did I get here?
46:43Sophia.
46:44Sophia.
46:45Forgotten my name already?
46:48Hello.
46:49Sophia.
46:54Within this context of the failures, the first big failure was the failure of his family
47:00unit.
47:00Are you a good boy, Lestat?
47:05Answer your brother, Lestat.
47:07As a kid, his mother was the only person in this very hostile environment who sort of showed
47:13him any sort of affection.
47:15When they first knew each other as humans, and Gabriella was Lestat's mother 300 years
47:21ago, they lived in a situation where neither of them had any agency or power.
47:27She had a horrible relationship with her husband and was deeply unhappy and lonely.
47:34There's a lot that you learn about who Lestat is when Gabriella, his mother, shows up.
47:41Now the wolves, they are taking our sheep.
47:43They will snatch a babe soon.
47:45Go on!
47:46There's nothing more we can do here!
47:48But be men!
47:51She knows that if anybody's going to get up at that table and try to solve this problem
47:56with the wolves, it's going to be Lestat.
47:59The killing of the wolves is connected intrinsically to Gabriella.
48:03Gabriella is saying, go out and be something.
48:08This is Lestat's moment to be like, I'm going to do something.
48:11I'm going to make something of my life, and I'm going to go out and kill them, even if
48:14I die.
48:23When Lestat kills the wolves, he's 30 years old, and in Gabriella's mind, he's been at home
48:31longer than he should have.
48:32From room to room, slaughtering the three of them.
48:36That's what I dreamt when I killed the wolves' mother.
48:39That is a shared desire between the two of them.
48:43And then that's given him enough impetus to get out and go and do something.
48:46He goes to Paris, turns into a vampire, his mom's dying, turns his mom into a vampire.
48:57Once Gabriella is turned into a vampire, they both want to go back and kill them, and now
49:01they can't.
49:09She can now live the life she's always wanted to live, and vampirism liberates her.
49:15I was absolutely drawn to Gabriella's absolute love of being a vampire.
49:23For her, it is almost like a finding of herself, I think, or certainly the only time in her
49:31life that she has had autonomy and power.
49:35Do you have a lot of sex?
49:37Of course.
49:39Do you like it?
49:40Like you do the blood.
49:42It's never like the blood.
49:43They love each other.
49:44I mean, they're mother and son, and they're lovers.
49:46I mean, and they're fledgling and maker, and I mean, they're a super complicated relationship,
49:50but they're the only people still alive that both knew each other when they were human.
49:54I think that's really important.
49:55It's like that you know me, who I really am, you know where I came from, you know what
49:59my fundamental drive is, and you remember me as a human being before I was this other
50:05thing.
50:06So they're deeply connected, and it's toxic, but, you know, everything's toxic in vampire
50:11world.
50:25You stole my personal physician.
50:28You trashed my hotel.
50:29I didn't know you were a detective.
50:30The Detroit Coven trashed your hotel.
50:32I've heard the songs.
50:32The songs are not about you.
50:34It feels like a cry for help, so I flew in because I care.
50:40I think Louie's being a complete troll in that scene.
50:43He gets off on making this that angry, I think, to some extent.
50:46Did you take turns driving across the Golden Gate Bridge, who held the wheel higher?
50:51Writing numbers on each other's backs and pretending to guess them wrong.
50:55I bet.
50:56I bet!
50:57It's a really fun scene.
50:59It's a real attack, and he knows he's going to rile him up.
51:02It was quite strange to go from being this, like, very strong, centered vampire to being
51:10just sort of petty.
51:12Christine, could you please provide two tickets to Mr. Pitt here and his Esquire for tomorrow
51:17night's show?
51:18One will do.
51:19Lemuel doesn't enjoy your music.
51:22As petty as he's been, I think Louie is looking forward to seeing Lestat's show.
51:29I was afraid, I was afraid, I was afraid of Louie, I think he's also impressed.
51:39This is what he should have always been doing.
51:46A lot of his songs, you don't really know who they're about.
51:49Could be about Louie, could be about Nicky, could be about Gabriella.
51:51It's very on brand for Louie to think every song is about him.
51:55And then on another level, I think there's probably, like, a gossipy side of Louie that's
51:59like, who's this about?
52:00When did this happen?
52:02Who is that?
52:02Who is he?
52:03Who is she?
52:04Could be about just the fact that why does he have to feel in general?
52:06Because he's a very emotive character, and he kind of gets totally riled up in his own
52:11emotions, and he'll ride them.
52:12So I think that can be a frustrating thing.
52:15I mean, he's obviously doing a very intensely power-thrusting version of the song, and intentionally
52:21ignoring Louie until he can't anymore.
52:42Oh, I tried to write you the prettiest song in the world.
52:57When he gets the book and he sees that it's all scribbled and scrawled, and I think it's
53:02when the guilt really starts to creep in.
53:05This is the first time they've had a little private moment about it.
53:08Louie has that kind of effect on the start that he, you know, will get so angry that it'll
53:12freeze time and fly up to him and sing in his face.
53:15Oh, why, why, why, why do I have to feel the pain?
53:26So you felt the pain, so you said, you know, will get so angry that it'll be a little more.
53:33You know what, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why,
53:56why, why.
