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 the land as we do!
05:44You will marry your world, and have children who will shame you, the way you have shamed me!
05:51Cabbage!
05:54Cabbage!
05:58Cabbage!
05:59Cabbage!
06:01Cabbage!
06:01Cabbage!
06:02Cabbage!
06:02Cabbage!
06:04Cabbage!
06:14Cabbage!
06:21Cabbage!
06:25Cabbage!
06:26Cabbage!
06:30Cabbage!
06:32Cabbage!
06:34Cabbage!
06:34What does he want us to do about it, huh?
06:35Nothing.
06:36Sit there on your titles
06:39while you fumble to find your pricks
06:42from under the awning of your stomachs.
06:47Piss!
06:51Keep coughing, huh?
06:52Seeding the nothings you had,
06:54bearing more nothings will inherit nothing!
07:00Not funny, brother!
07:01Put 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 senior.
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.
07:38Better a quick end than watch me surrender another decade.
07:41Watch me join the cabbages.
07:57And what was this life?
08:02The good in me lost at the monastery.
08:04Where are you?
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.
08:28The wolves.
08:32Until I didn't.
08:53I refuse this food, I refuse this care.
08:58You killed five wolves.
09:03By yourself.
09:06Eight.
09:08Not five.
09:13Two about my horse.
09:19My dog.
09:28Eight.
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 brother spent with shame.
09:53Come down.
09:55You'll enjoy it.
09:57From room to room.
10:01Slaughtering the three of them.
10:05That'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 the mountains.
10:29Stream.
10:31Maggie.
10:35I go into the village.
10:39Into the inn.
10:43And I take into bed any man that come.
10:55Crude men.
10:58Big men.
11:00Old men.
11:02Boys.
11:03Taking them one after another.
11:08And feeling some magnificent release in it.
11:13No thought of your father or your brothers.
11:23In that world.
11:27I belong to no one.
11:34Except for me.
11:49I'm dying.
11:53I won't survive the winter.
11:57Mother?
12:07Finish it, Pee, 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 sanded.
12:52Oh, check your contract.
12:54It says cocaine whore bucket.
12:56I know, but I saw, lawyer.
12:58I saw a guy kill another guy.
13:00Vampire!
13:01Right 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?
13:21Oh, my God.
13:22Oh, my God.
13:23Oh, my God.
13:25What the fuck?
13:26How did I get you?
13:28Sofia.
13:28Sofia.
13:30Forgotten my name already?
13:32Oh.
13:33Oh.
13:34Sofia.
13:37I'm sorry, are we just, like, not gonna talk about last night?
13:40Are we not gonna 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?
13:58What?
13:58I could've 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.
14:11And, um, you are being very patient regarding the vampire incest factor.
14:17And I do appreciate it.
14:18Do you guys play baseball?
14:19Like the Twilight?
14:20Yes!
14:20What do you do now?
14:22One at a time!
14:23One at a time!
14:24Please!
14:25One at a time!
14:26One at a time!
14:29One at a time!
14:30One at a time!
14:35We took care of the killer!
14:36I'm a lonely one!
14:36I'm a little killer!
14:37I'm a lonely one!
14:39I'm the sugar gun up your spine!
14:41Telling you to run!
14:43I'm a living shadow!
14:45I'm a last liar!
14:47I'm the best of the future, the last of the sutures, the crew and death
14:51Where the rock and roll is, where the guitar
14:55Where the heart of me love and the face of the mother
14:57Where the stupid rhyme
15:00Bang bang, bang bang, bang bang
15:05Bang bang, I'll fall down
15:20Bang bang, bang bang, bang bang
15:26Bang bang, bang bang, bang bang
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
15:48The small cub
15:50How many people do you kill at night?
15:52How many people?
15:53This is what I have Fareed for
15:55Oh yeah, that's also why you have a body
15:57You tell them
15:59He gets most of his blood from the farm
16:01Most?
16:02The farm?
16:03It's like a blood bank
16:05People donate and they're handsomely compensated
16:07It's all highly ethical
16:08They tap college burnouts and attic-run bingo games
16:12Cash only, no questions
16:13So you're a vampire too?
16:16Three of us, nine of you
16:18Out and proud
16:20Three, three, three
16:22Hi, name's Daniel
16:23I'm a Taurus on the cusp of Aries
16:26I prefer A, B, negative
16:28Who's your maker?
16:29Have you tried our age?
16:30No, only 45 people on the planet possess it
16:35Only nine active donors
16:37Tell me all about it, babe
16:40Hey, hey, look, hey
16:41This isn't a goddamn joke
16:42Man-only meeting!
16:48I understand the panic
16:50You 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
16:58Have you ever seen me in the light of day?
17:00Armand is a day one
17:01Did you help me hose off my Mustang
17:03At a self-service car wash in Spokane?
17:06You said that was a deer
17:06As D-E-A-R
17:08As 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
17:17How do we know you're not going to kill us?
17:18For thousands of years
17:18You've been in my band for over a year and a half
17:20It's not your band
17:21It's our fucking band
17:22Jesus Christ, you're such an asshole
17:23In fact, you've all been protected numerous times
17:25Without being made aware of it
17:27What?
17:28What we're doing
17:29The confessional nature of the songs
17:31Performing for mortals
17:32The insights into vampiric desires
17:33It's all
17:35It's all sacrilegious to vampirism
17:37What?
17:38It's not a worry
17:39I have the blood of Akasha in me
17:40Sorry, what the fuck is Akasha?
17:42What is important
17:43And what we should be celebrating
17:44Is what we did on stage
17:46Are all your songs about this guy, Lewis?
17:47Last night
17:47We were raw
17:49Nasty
17:50Transcendent
17:51Excuse me?
17:52And I lost you
17:53You know
17:55It's Louis, not Louis
17:57And you, you were referring to
17:59Could be one of two dozen paramours
18:01At Pompois
18:02Who's that villain sneaking up from behind
18:03With the knife in his hand
18:04And a mouthful of life
18:05I pulled the knife from my cane
18:07And 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
18:12Is not about sucking Louis' dick
18:13Black licorice is about
18:15The first kill I made
18:17After Louis and I reconciled
18:18I'd say
18:19I live
18:19I'll call in the car
18:20Fifty-four thousand five hundred and fifty-four days
18:23Before 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
18:37F you
18:38We quit
18:42Come on
18:46Larry
18:47They don't want to speak
18:49But um
18:50Being a vampire
18:52I can tell you what they're thinking
18:54Would you like to know what they're thinking?
18:57Fifteen hundred when we started
18:59Twenty thousand followers now
19:01He killed the sound technician in Denver
19:04That 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
19:13The brooms
19:14The tits
19:15The dime store darlings
19:17Bukkake ice helmet
19:18And four others that are not as good
19:20But just as successful
19:21If I don't hit it now
19:25I'm gonna marry the bum
19:26And have a baby
19:29Finn Lizzy sucks
19:30We'd sound better with one guitar
19:33I don't think that
19:34Yeah she does
19:35It's Alamander
19:36Another one of Alex's
19:40Vegan, straight edge
19:42Bullshit mood swings
19:43You'll find a meeting
19:44And be back tomorrow
19:46Dude
19:48And I make it a rule
19:49Never to sleep with my bandmates
19:56TC was talking about Larry
19:58Not you
20:00You are the best pure musician we have
20:03Other than me
20:05So take your time, Alex
20:07Process it, as they say
20:10But think thrice before running to the police
20:12Or sharing in one of your anonymous groups
20:15Not if you value your life
20:18Or your brothers
20:23You are listening to The Failures
20:25Album 12, Side B
20:31There's a dearth of privacy on a vampire rock tour
20:33The bus, shared hotel floors
20:36Road he's transporting coffins, etc
20:38And as front man, you're encircled by those
20:41Who invariably want something from you
20:44Now my mother, Gabriela Veche, rest her soul
20:47Was a complicated hang
20:49But my fledgling
20:51The Vampress Gabriela
20:52Was anything but
20:54And with the bandit Soundcheck
20:55And Yarda playing billiards on the other side of town
20:58She and a less pharmaceutically challenged me
21:00Found an evening to catch up and kill time
21:03And there was simply no one in the garden
21:05More effortless in killing time
21:07Than 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
21:19And I came
21:20And came
21:22And came
21:24Yeah, about that
21:25I know
21:26We really shouldn't
21:28We need to make a pact
21:30If 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
21:43And fill it with bullshit
21:47I missed you
21:51We met in Italy, of course
21:54The Ambrosian Carnival, of course
21:57Of course
21:58And we wore the same costume, of course
22:00And raced across the Piazza del Duomo
22:03To see who would slap each other first
22:08And then you unmasked me
22:09And well
22:11This face
22:15I recognised myself
22:17Yeah
22:22So it comes back around again
22:27How long are you gonna stay?
22:32I saw you two times last century
22:34It's not an unreasonable question
22:36Long enough
22:40Long enough for what?
22:43Long enough to see you sing
22:46For you to show me munchie
22:50Wilmington
22:51Food courts
22:55I want to play cornhole
22:58Rest on the rust belt
23:00All the speed on the floor
23:02All the moist cavities
23:04I want to know this Paisa Grasso
23:07How it hypnotizes my son for a century
23:10Can I take you to the dinner, Sophia?
23:18I would love that
23:20We thank you
23:23In a glass corner of a glass building
23:25A group of building glass salesmen
23:28Were closing a sale
23:29Of a substantial amount of glass
23:31Sold to a company
23:32In yet-to-be-tariffed Germany
23:34There was to be ritualized Saturnalia
23:37In both countries that night
23:38And we invited ourselves
23:40To the one closest to
23:42A study commissioned
23:44By the Centers for Disease Control
23:46On rates of depression
23:47In mid-size American cities
23:48Ranked Toledo number two
23:50On their list
23:51Heads are down in Toledo
23:53Which makes it a fine city
23:54To travel via the cloud gift
23:56Which was Gabriella's preferred mode
23:58Of murder transport
24:00Why take so many cars?
24:03Triumph is a dark road, Sophia
24:05And each man must find his own exit
24:08The worst reveal themselves
24:10Through time in the Grone
24:11Nine at the indoor golfing range
24:14Seven eating seafood towers
24:16At the chop house
24:17Five crept out at the casino
24:19And then there were three
24:22All tippling by the time
24:24We plummeted back down
24:26The backside of Chubbs
24:27A bar contetta blocks
24:29Off the Mome River
24:30Our hunger propelled us inside
24:33And we watched as the remaining items
24:35On the menu
24:36Marinated themselves
24:37In the pole-ravaged sweat
24:39Of sex-positive
24:41Sex-cynical
24:42Sex-stipulated dancing
24:45They had closed their deal
24:47And we would close ours
24:49We watched them
24:50Watched them
24:51And only sometime later
24:53Would I understand
24:54We were being watched as well
24:56By those who were always there
24:59A curious tangle of hunters
25:02And hunted
25:03That warm spring night
25:07And then it happened again
25:12Are you a good boy, Lestat?
25:15An unamusing muse
25:17Was this the first soldier over the wall
25:20The Oracle Jenks forewarned me about?
25:23Or the last fumes of Detroit?
25:25If you're ever homesick
25:26There's a classy Italian place
25:29On Adam Street
25:31Do they have spaghetti?
25:32Yeah, do you work here?
25:35Oh, go on
25:36What about the
25:36Oh, yeah
25:37Tell me more
25:40Lover
25:40Where are you?
25:42I'm with Sophia
25:42I don't want to know
25:43You have to do a sit-down
25:45With Thomas Pitt and lawyer tomorrow
25:46That's your job, lover
25:47I'm doing my job, motherfucker
25:49No more
25:50We 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
25:59And would appreciate an exclusive fan experience
26:01Do I have to fuck him?
26:03Yes
26:04Call an Uber
26:05Go to Coffin
26:06Fine
26:10Thank you, Carol
26:10Uh, do you work here?
26:12Uh, do you work here?
26:13Wait, uh, did I ever ask that?
26:18You really have to understand
26:20The vampire Gabriella
26:22When she wasn't free soloing a mountain
26:24Or stirring a singing bowl
26:26In some dreary village
26:28She was
26:29Good company
26:32Even as you're being out-monstered
26:34Out-bantered
26:35It feels
26:35Good
26:37Like watching blood
26:39Down a staircase
26:40Feels good
26:41Or finding a party invitation
26:43In your victim's pocket
26:45Well, I mean
26:46That doesn't happen anymore
26:47To empty invites
26:48But being with Gabriella
26:50Is like
26:51Like
26:54Like
26:55Like
26:58Oh, predatory spirit
27:01A good candidate for the great conversion
27:07Uh, Randy
27:10Last man standing
27:12Loves glass
27:14Also knows
27:16Somewhere inside
27:18That he does not love glass
27:25I'm starving
27:29Shall we take them both now?
27:31One each?
27:33I want to share mine with you
27:36So we wait
27:37We 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
28:00It's never like the blood
28:07We couldn't help ourselves
28:12We rode the edges of our pact
28:19Hey
28:19Hey, just sleeping in 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
28:29I'll give you a kiss when I get home
28:31Okay
28:32I love you
28:33Okay, bye
28:37You are listening to The Failures
28:40Album 15, side B
28:43Estimates on the structural damage
28:44Are still being calculated
28:46So the figure we've put forth
28:47Was based on comps
28:49The engaged architectural firm provided
28:50Comps?
28:51For a hotel hallway massacre?
28:53Comparable damages
28:53To comparable spaces
28:54I'd like to add a line
28:56For cascading glass
28:57The parking structure below
28:58Had a fleet of vehicles
29:00Lacerated
29:00These cleanup numbers are made up
29:01The cleanup numbers in this case
29:02Are mostly going towards
29:03Silencing witnesses
29:04This is not my first clown rodeo
29:06Grace Jones and Gucci
29:07And Salt received his compliment
29:08Anyone who won't take a couple thousand
29:09In an envelope
29:10You guys do the mind wipey thing
29:12So you can take that line item
29:13And hold it over your vampire bidet
29:14We could have done the shit
29:15Over the phone
29:16According to Mr. Pitt here
29:17Your client's the one
29:18Who called this meeting
29:19He did no such thing
29:20You stole my personal physician
29:22You hired my biographer
29:24You trashed my hotel
29:25I didn't know
29:26The Detroit Coven
29:27Trashed your hotel
29:28I've heard the song
29:29The songs are not about you
29:30It feels like a cry for help
29:34So I flew in
29:36Because I care
29:37Oh, it just says
29:38You cared in your book
29:39We've been through all this
29:40The fact that you insulted me
29:42Page after page
29:44Take it up with Malloy
29:45Who wrote it
29:46Or the Tala Mosca
29:47Who published it
29:47Why are you employing Sam Barkley
29:50After Paris
29:50He's paying down his debts
29:52Oh, bottom line, Louis
29:54All sins negotiated
29:55Sam didn't get on a boat
29:56We're here to litigate
29:57Sam didn't memorize
29:58He got direct a play
30:00And then come home
30:00Canoodling with one of its victims
30:02Did he?
30:02Who did that, I wonder?
30:04Repeat the name
30:05That would be Armand
30:08Armand
30:09Santiago, I could understand
30:10At least he had a presence
30:11But I'm happy to discuss Armand
30:14If you think that would help you
30:15Is it true that you had a second home
30:17In Sausalito with him?
30:18We did
30:19Did you take turns
30:20Driving across the Golden Gate Bridge
30:22Who held the wheel harder?
30:23Writing numbers on each other's backs
30:25And pretending to guess them wrong
30:26I bet
30:28I bet!
30:29Come on
30:30Very specific detail
30:31To pluck out of thin air
30:33What is it, Vult?
30:35Are we taking minutes of this?
30:36I think we can wrap this up
30:38Dispassionately
30:38Yes, let's try and circle back
30:39To the particulars
30:42Are you two fucking?
30:44Yes
30:47Companion enough for yourself
30:48Or you're over?
30:50He's not my companion
30:51He's a great lay
30:52And emotionally unavailable
30:55You doing her?
30:56Yes
30:57Petite, surprising
30:59And can perform
31:00What most metropolitan
31:01Draining systems
31:02Can only dream of
31:04Okay
31:06Are you enjoying this exclusive fan experience?
31:10I am
31:10Christine, could you please provide two tickets to Mr. Pitt here
31:14And his Esquire for tomorrow night's show
31:16One 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
31:25Of my merch
31:2745%
31:2845?
31:29My bad
31:29I'll look into it
31:31I was afraid
31:33I was afraid
31:34I was afraid
31:38I was afraid
31:39I'm losing you
31:43They liked you
31:56Sounding a little thin without Alex
31:58Larry likes it
31:59Everyone else is freaked
32:03The Stott and his hostage squad
32:06Get me a shot of his latest friendo there
32:09Copy that
32:11Where?
32:11The Cougar Milanese in the crowd
32:15Got her
32:16No, no, no, not her
32:17The one standing in judgment of the Buckeye God
32:20The one from the Buckeye?
32:22Yeah
32:24Okay, now go up from her to the balcony
32:26And get me a frame of pretty green eyes again
32:29Okay
32:30Got him
32:30Who is this guy?
32:32He is the story
32:41Mr. Dulac
32:42What brings you to Toledo?
32:45You're looking younger, Daniel
32:48Bonacites in Manjaro
32:51I'm still pissed
32:54Want to brawl it out in the alley after the show?
32:59All right
33:13There's no way
33:14What the fuck are you doing here?
33:31Oh, I tried to ride you
33:32Oh, I tried to ride you
33:46The prettiest song in the world
33:51But I got distracted
33:57All I did is
34:02All I did
34:16Why do I have to feel
34:22The pain is too much
34:27It's too real
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 them apart
34:55And I know what you're thinking
34:57He wasn't there
34:58But this is my hour
35:00And when tertiary figures appear in it, I will be speaking for them
35:03Daniel, Mr. Dulac, anyone I feel is important towards understanding
35:09How I woke the Queen and unleashed her wrath upon the world
35:12I am everywhere
35:14And rest assured, it comes with less whining than their attempt
35:18Did it happen in a bar with a view?
35:21I say it did
35:22How are you taken to the gift?
35:24You adore him?
35:25I'm alright
35:28Vampire loneliness
35:29I get it now
35:30I'm picking up bowling
35:33And I have this weird thing that happens
35:37Where suddenly everyone around me disappears
35:40Like the raptures come
35:41And I
35:45You know
35:48I feel him
35:51Armand
35:53Yeah
35:54That happened with you and Lestat?
35:57No
35:58Oh
36:01Sounds weird
36:03Look, I'm sorry
36:04I should have asked you before I published
36:08I'm sorry
36:10I would have said no
36:14I can't fly
36:15I can't start fires
36:17All I got is the low-hanging balls gift
36:19I wanted something out of it
36:22I'm glad the book worked out for you
36:24Didn't do too much damage to you
36:25Or whoever you are
36:27Thomas Pitt
36:29Hotels, bars, mall, retail
36:32I saw money on the table
36:35You read it?
36:37You liked it?
36:39I didn't like me in it
36:42Passive
36:44Selfish
36:45A liar
36:47And 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
37:03When the book dropped
37:04It hurt him
37:09I called one of my daughters
37:11The first month dead
37:13Called her again during the book tour
37:17Hung up
37:18Hung up
37:20Probably the right move
37:21I saw Claudia
37:26In New York
37:27Coming up the subway
37:29Claudia?
37:31Someone who looked like her
37:32But in her 20s
37:34She'd have made 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
37:44Kinda, sorta
37:47I saw her walk into a diner
37:50And I couldn't help myself
37:54I go inside
37:56I grab a booze
37:59It's not her
38:00She's not there
38:02Chase the ghost, I guess
38:06I order a donut
38:08And coffee
38:09You 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 her section
38:31I walked out
38:35Don't eat me for this, Louie
38:39My producers want to meet you
38:46Rashid?
38:47Rashid, Daniel, Molloy, Raglan, James, Louis, DuPont, Dulac
38:51We all worked together in Dubai
38:53Verjal Arab
38:55Now Haven Med Senior Care Headquarters
38:59Said I'd introduce you
39:01They got me on retainer
39:04Not cool, Daniel
39:09We all argued about this color
39:29What does he know about me?
39:31What did you tell him?
39:33That you died in 1794
39:35Of consumption
39:37Mercy
39:38Saved 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 bathrobe stuck to skin
39:53An aloof poetry behind the eyes
39:58Uncanny beauty
40:03Unelusiveness
40:04Come, go
40:05Yes, no
40:07I see why you gave him a daughter
40:10I see why you took her back
40:16And we were having such a good night, Sophia
40:19And now we're not
40:22Don't forget her, Sally
40:34Your father's tongue
40:36It's my tongue
40:37In Italy never made a Baudelaire
40:42Ainsi qu'une fontaine au rythmique sans dos
40:48Je l'entends bien qui coule et décale en moumure
40:52Mais je me t'ai en vain pour trouver la blessure
40:56Yeah, dadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadad
41:34We shall head home to the tower.
41:39The night is young.
41:40We travel so fast, we could be there in an hour.
41:45I'm on there.
41:54I'm on there.
42:18I've been looking for love, I've been forgotten
42:27But love isn't for me as far as gold
42:33I'm going to give a glass of gold
42:38But love isn't for me as far as gold
42:43Don't be mad at me
42:46I'll give a glass of gold
42:47Would love is for me as far as gold
42:55I'll give a glass of gold
42:58I'll give a glass of gold
43:00I'll give a glass of gold
43:01I'll give a glass of gold
43:27There were eight people on the ark.
43:29Noah, his wife, his three sons, and their three wives.
43:34Eight people.
43:35And now, somehow, eight billion.
43:40Listen, at 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.
44:01Distribution of fentanyl for half of Michigan.
44:04Operation 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.
44:22Um, I emphasize 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.
44:34They were the ones responsible for the damage to your property.
44:38I'm insured.
44:38And, uh, I knew that already.
44:40They tried to decapitate your love.
44:42What's the ask, Mr. James?
44:44Ah.
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.
45:17How many in Dubai, Rashid?
45:1931.
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.
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.
45:53I believe you, 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 are you 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, Sophia.
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?
47:05Answer 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 Gabriela 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 Gabriela, 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 Gabriela.
48:03Gabriela's 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.
48:27And in Gabriela's mind, he's been at home longer 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.
48:49His mom's dying, turns his mom into a vampire.
48:57Once Gabriela is turned into a vampire, they both want to go back and kill them, and now they 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 Gabriela's absolute love of being a vampire.
49:24For 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.
49:48I 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, and it's toxic, but, you know, everything's toxic in the vampire world.
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?
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, centered 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.
51:29I was afraid, I was afraid, I was afraid of Louie.
51:37I think he's also impressed.
51:39This is what he should have always been doing.
51:46A lot of his songs, you know, don't really know who they're about.
51:49It could be about Louie, it could be about Nicky, it could be about Gabriela.
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?
52:04It could 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.

52:15I 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, I tried to write you
52:48The prettiest song in the world
52:53But I got distracted
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.

53:08Louie has that kind of effect on the start that he, you know,
53:11will get so angry that they'll freeze time and fly up to him and sing in his face, yeah.
53:16Oh, why, why, why, why do I have to feel
53:26The pain
53:28There's too much to feel
53:41He's been singing
53:44You
