Hello again, my friends, and welcome to Vampire School.
Were back in 1910 and Lestat is rolling a wheelbarrow full of priest through a cemetery.
Lesson one: No drinking from the dead.
Lesson two: The painful dying part doesnt last too long.
Lesson three: Human beings are now, per Lestat, Your savory inferiors.
The evening goes okay.
Furthermore, Louis no longer kills people.
How does he eat, then?
So glad you asked.
First, a server (Servant?
Unclear) decants a blood bag of AB negative straight from the farm, into a glass.
For now, Louis can sleep in Lestats until they get him a coffin of his own.
it’s possible for you to be on top, Lestat says, because this is a perfect show.
SometimesAnne Rices Interview With the Vampireis a soap opera and sometimes it is a screwball odd-couple comedy.
But while Lestat is a murder artist, he was wrong to think murder would come naturally to Louis.
As it stands, for Louis, there are good murders and there are bad murders.
That was the line.
Do they pull in talent from roadside gas stations!
rages Lestat, who can pull cultural references from 100 years in the future.
Hes also feeling a little judged by Louis right now.
Savory inferiors, Louis.
Speaking of which, eating your sisters baby would be a very bad murder.
Against Lestats advice, Louis is still trying to stay close with his family.
He doesnt but he did leave us hanging for a while.
(Did you eat the baby, Molloy asks a third time.
Did you eat the baby!?!?!?!
I shriek at my screen.)
His new business, for instance, is a club with doors open to anyone with money to burn.
But Lestat is not a progressive vampire.
He wants Louis to stop reaching out to his family.
Stop caring about the poor people he used to employ.
He wants it to be just the two of them against the world, forever.
Lestat wants to mate for life, like ducks.
Loneliness is the only thing he fears and Louis is the only one who takes it away.
We must stay together and never part, he says.
I cant see that ending well.
