You burnt my little house, didn't you?"--Louis to Lestat "Can you blame me?" "Besides, I was human when I did that. It was human weakness. Want to come and live with me?" --Lestat to Louis "This means you've forgiven me?"--Louis to Lestat "No, it means I'm playing with you. I may even destroy you for what you did to me. I haven't made up my mind. Aren't you afraid?" --Lestat to Louis "No..." --Louis to Lestat

What are we doing here?" "Adventure, I told you.

"You're a perfect devil, Lestat!" "That's what you are! You are the devil himself!" --Louis to Lestat "Yes, I know," "And I love to hear you say it, Louis. I need to hear you say it. I don't think anyone will ever say it quite like you do. Come on, say it again. I'm a perfect devil. Tell me how bad I am. It makes me feel so good!" --Lestat to Louis

The beautiful know they have power, and she had, in her diminutive charm, a certain power of which she was always casually aware.

Oh Lestat, you deserved everything that's ever happened to you. You better not die. You might actually go to hell.
