Lestat: Have you suffered in my absence?

Louis: It was pure hell. Each risk you take hurts me. But that is my concern and fault.

Lestat: Why do you love me?

Louis: You know, you’ve always known. I wish I could be you. I wish I could know the joy you know all the time.

Lestat: And that pain, you want that as well?

Louis: Your pain? Certainly. I’ll take your brand of pain anytime, as they say.
