OMG hilarious, adirotynd & textsfromthevampire!
I think this kind of speech is why Lestat is so in love with Shakespeare.
Yes. Dripping with sarcasm!
He quotes Othello in the IWTV movie when killing the whore in front of Louis (strikethroughs are words he cut out):
“Yet she must die, else she’ll betray more men.
Put out the light, and then put out the light.
If I quench thee, thou flaming minister,
I can again thy former light restore
Should I repent me. But once put out thy light,
Thou cunning’st pattern of excelling nature,
I know not where is that Promethean heat
That can thy light relume. When I have plucked thy rose
I cannot give it vital growth again,
Its needs must wither.”
(The last line should actually be “It must needs wither.”)
Lestat quoting Othello (Act 5, scene 2), in Interview with the Vampire (strike-throughs are words cut out, and the last line is different, too):
“Yet she must die, else she’ll betray more men.
Put out the light, and then put out the light.
If I quench thee, thou flaming minister,
I can again thy former light restore
Should I repent me. But once put out thy light,
Thou cunning’st pattern of excelling nature,
I know not where is that Promethean heat
That can thy light relume. When I have plucked thy rose
I cannot give it vital growth again,
Its needs must wither.”
What’s your best tactic of calming the Brat Prince when he gets out of hand?
Starting a fire is a generally wonderful way to gain a night to myself.
