Transcript
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!
05:41You will hunt a land as we do!
05:44You will marry your hurt, and have children who will shame you the way you have shamed me!
06:01She had a cold beauty, like snow behind a thick, distorting wall of glass.
06:07And I grew hard by example.
06:11But now the wolves, they are taking out sheep, so bold now they have lost their fear.
06:16Another one stole it today, a puddle of carts where sheep used to be.
06:21They will snatch a babe soon.
06:23There have been wolves in the hills since I was a boy.
06:26Magnificent.
06:27The wolves are causing trouble, brother.
06:30It's a famine now, senor, from here to Versailles.
06:34What does he want us to do about it, huh?
06:35Nothing.
06:36Sit there on your titles while you fumble to find your pricks from under the awning of your stomachs.
06:47Peace, earth.
06:51Keep coughing, huh?
06:52Seeding the nothings you had, bearing more nothings will inherit nothing.
07:00Not funny, brother.
07:02Put the gun down, Lestat.
07:04She's with, child.
07:05Hey!
07:06Put the gun down, Lestat.
07:08The wolves will move on.
07:12We ask your protection as our seigneur.
07:16We would like you to share some of your bounty on your table.
07:20Hey!
07:21Go on!
07:23There's nothing more we can do here.
07:25But be men!
07:34She meant to kill me with the challenge.
07:37Better a quick end than watch me surrender another decade.
07:41Watch me join the cabbages.
07:56And what was this life?
08:02The good in me lost at the monastery.
08:04Wait.
08:05My sense of wonder abandoned in a traveling player's wagon.
08:10Go.
08:11Brush them out.
08:24I wanted the wolves to come.
08:32Until I didn't.
08:33Hurry!
08:36Hurry!
08:53He refuses food.
08:55He refuses care.
08:59You killed five wolves.
09:03By yourself
09:06Eight
09:09Not five
09:14To robot my horse
09:20My dog
09:27Eight
09:33Do the wolves look worse
09:40There's a mob came yesterday
09:43Again tonight
09:44They wish to worship you
09:47Your father and your brothers bent
09:50With 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 stream
10:26Of my clothes and bait in a mountain
10:29Stream
10:31My
10:35I go into the village
10:38I go into the village
10:40Into the inn
10:42And I take into bed
10:48Any man that come

10:57Men
10:58Big men
10:59Old men
11:01Boys
11:03Taking them
11:05One after another
11:07And feeling
11:09Some magnificent release in it
11:13No thought
11:15No thought
11:16Of your father
11:19Or your brothers
11:23In that world
11:27I belong
11:31To no one
11:34Except for me
11:49To me
11:50I'm dying
11:53I want to survive the winter
11:56Mother?
12:07Finish it, P, as a mob to bless.
12:14Mother!
12:18Mother!
12:22Mother!
12:46I saw them too.
12:48Oh, and the drug mule contributes a complete sentence.
12:51Social media coordinator.
12:53I'll 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.
13:02What the killjoy second guitarist may or may not have witnessed
13:05was one vampire acting in self-defense,
13:08but he signed a unilateral,
13:10which 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?
13:21Oh, my God.
13:23What the fuck?
13:25What the fuck?
13:26How did I get you?
13:28Sophia.
13:28Sophia.
13:29I've forgotten my name already.
13:32Oh.
13:33Hello.
13:34Sophia.
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,
13:41the year and a half of weird bullshit that you've been putting us through for the past year and a
13:45half?
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.
13:48You've been up all day and we've got, like, a shit ton list of questions, man.
13:52Like, what wells can you do?
13:54Yeah.
13:54Like, where do you put the body?
13:55Don't answer that.
13:56And when was the last time you talked to our mom?
13:58I could have hung it up there, too, I guess.
14:01But we sounded really good in Detroit.
14:03And there were another thousand beautifully unwell to serve in Ohio.
14:06And she had come a great distance to comfort me.
14:10And, um, you are being very patient regarding the vampire incest factor.
14:17And I do appreciate it.
14:18Do you guys play baseball?
14:19Yeah.

34:35Call comes in from some Hollywood asshole, asking me whether I want to write the movie version of the book.
34:40I'm like, blow me, lose my number.
34:43Calls me back a week later, what about a documentary?
34:46I'm like, Louis won't even talk to me.
34:48He says, not Louis, Lestat, the white guy.
34:51Old friends, talking around the small betrayal that kept him apart.
34:55And I know what you're thinking, he wasn't there.
34:58But this is my hour, and when tertiary figures appear in it, I will be speaking for them.
35:04Daniel, Mr. Dulac, anyone I feel is important towards understanding how I woke the queen and unleashed her wrath upon
35:11the world.
35:12I am everywhere, and rest assured, it comes with less whining than their attempt.
35:18Did it happen in a bar with a view? I say it did.
35:22How are you taken to the gift? You adore him?
35:25I'm alright.
35:27Vampire loneliness, I get it now.
35:31I'm taking up bowling, and I have this weird thing that happens where suddenly everyone around me disappears, like the
35:41raptures come.
35:42And I, you know, I feel him.
35:51Armand?
35:53Armand?
35:54Yeah.
35:55That happened with you and Lestat?
35:57No.
35:59Oh.
36:01Sounds weird.
36:03Look, I'm sorry, okay?
36:05I should have asked you before I published.
36:09I'm sorry.
36:10I would have said no.
36:14I can't fly.
36:16I can't start fires.
36:17All I got is the low-hanging balls gift.
36:20I wanted something out of it.
36:22I'm glad the book worked out for you.
36:24Didn't do too much damage to you, or whoever you are.
36:27Thomas Pitt.
36:29Hotels, bars, malls, retail.
36:32I saw money on the table.
36:35You read it?
36:36You liked it?
36:39I didn't like me in it.
36:42Passive.
36:44Selfish.
36:45A liar.
36:46And not the lying-to-myself kind of fucking liar.
36:51The writing's good.
36:53Hard read.
36:56He didn't like the part about Claudia and him on the train.
37:01Yeah, we were finding our way back again when the book dropped.
37:05It hurt him.
37:09I called one of my daughters the first month dead.
37:14Called her again during the book tour.
37:17Hung up.
37:18Hung up.
37:20Probably the right move.
37:23I saw Claudia.
37:26In New York.
37:28Coming up the subway.
37:29Claudia?
37:31Someone who looked like her.
37:33But in her 20s, she didn't.
37:35Made it to her 20s.
37:38Saw her come up.
37:40I watched her turn the corner.
37:42Happened to be going in the same direction, kind of, sort of.
37:47I saw her walk into a diner.
37:50And I couldn't help myself.
37:54I go inside.
37:56I grab a booth.
37:59It's not her.
38:00She's not there.
38:03Chase the ghost, I guess.
38:06If I order a donut and coffee, you know, just to pass.
38:12Then she comes out the back.
38:14In her uniform.
38:17It's not her.
38:20This one's got a different walk.
38:24Accent.
38:28I'm not in a section.
38:31I walked out.
38:35Don't eat me for this, Louis.
38:38Uh, my producers want to meet you.
38:45Rashid?
38:47Rashid.
38:48Daniel.
38:48Molloy.
38:49Raglan.
38:49James.
38:50Louis.
38:50DuPont.
38:51Dulac.
38:51We all work together in Dubai.
38:54Virgil Arab.
38:55Now, Haven Med Senior Care Headquarters.
38:59Said I'd introduce you.
39:01They got me on retainer.
39:04Mm-mm.
39:05Not cool, Daniel.
39:09We argued about this coming.
39:29What does he know about me?
39:31What did you tell him?
39:33That you died in 1794 of consumption.
39:37Mercy saved you from the peasant's revenge on our family.
39:41I only ever saw the aftermath.
39:44Your slit throat slow to heal.
39:48Your rotting roof and pathrope stuck to skin.
39:53An aloof poetry behind the eyes.
39:58Uncanny beauty.
40:03Unelusiveness.
40:04Come, go.
40:06Yes, no.
40:08I see why you gave him a daughter.
40:11I see why you took her back.
40:16And we were having such a good night, Sophia.
40:19And now we know.
40:22Forget ourselves.
40:34You're your father's tongue.
40:36It's my tongue.
40:38In Italy, never made a Baudelaire.
40:43Ainsi qu'une fontaine au rythmique sans dos.
40:48Je l'entends bien qui coule et décale en moumure.
40:53Mais je me t'ai en vain pour trouver la blessure.
40:56Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
41:38The night is young, we travel so fast we could be there in an hour.
41:45Where am I?
42:19The night is young.
42:26The night is young.
42:41The night is young.
42:44The night is young.
42:50The night is young.
42:54The night is young.
43:01The night is young.
43:09The night is young.
43:39The night is young.
43:46The night is young.
44:04The night is young.
44:07The night is young.
44:16The night is young.
44:19Somebody Rashid, that's his actual name.
44:23I amphasize the first syllable, Rashid.
44:27Rashid 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 take 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.
45:25I 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.
45:36A 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.
45:54I 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.
46:14I'm good to be here.
46:15Give me a million more screens.
46:18I'm good to be here.
46:18Nicolas Doran.
46:20Breston.
46:21What's he doing in Paris?
46:22Give me a million more screens.
46:27I'm good to be here.
46:28Your mother?
46:33I want you to lie enough to give it to me.
46:42How 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 unit.
47:00Are you a good boy, Lestat?
47:04I want to your brother, Lestat.
47:07As a kid, his mother was the only person in this very hostile environment who sort of showed him any
47:14sort of affection.
47:15When they first knew each other as humans, and Gabriella was Lestat's mother 300 years ago, they lived in a
47:22situation 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.
47:40Now 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 with the
47:56wolves, 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 I
48:14die.
48:23When Lestat kills the wolves, he's 30 years old, and in Gabriella's mind, he's been at home longer than he
48:31should 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, and then that's given him enough impetus to get out
48:45and 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 has turned into a vampire, they both want to go back and kill them, and now they can.
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 life
49:31that 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.
49:58You know where I came from.
49:59You know what my fundamental drive is, and you remember me as a human being before I was this other
50:05thing.
50:06So they're deeply connected.
50:08It's toxic, but, you know, everything's toxic in vampire world.
50:25You stole my personal physician.
50:28You trashed my hotel.
50:29I didn't know you were a techie hotel.
50:30The Detroit Coven trashed your hotel.
50:31I've heard the song.
50:32The song's 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 the star angry, I think, to some extent.
50:46Did you take turns driving across the Golden Gate Bridge?
50:50You held the wheel harder.
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, scented vampire to being just sort of petty.
51:12Christine, could you please provide two tickets to Mr. Pitt here and his Esquire for tomorrow night'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.
51:37I 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 like,
51:59Who'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 emotions,
52:11and 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,
52:20and intentionally ignoring Louie until he can't anymore.
52:42Oh, I tried to write you
52:57When he gets the book and he sees that it's all scribbled and scrawled,
53:02and I think it's when 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,
53:11will get so angry that it will freeze time and fly up to him and sing in his face.
53:15Oh, why, why, why, why do I have to feel
53:24The pain is too much to feel
53:45More when I neglect to feel
53:47One, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why once you've all
53:55lost their fight, how they've lost theiridencial attention, you know, life, how they've fought them.
