INT. ROOM. SAN FRANCISCO. NIGHT. (PRESENT)
Malloy, staring at Louis.
I: Empty, that's it, no it can't end like that.
L: But it has, there is no more to tell.
I: There has to be more to tell, You, you don't understand yourself,
your not empty, um what people wouldn't give to be, what I wouldn't give
to be like you. To have your power, to be able to have seen the things
you have seen in your life.
L: You haven't been listening.
I: Yes I have been listening, The story you have told me is, is incredible,
it's amazing.
L: (Louis looks at the cassettes on the table.) Do what you want with
it, give the story to others, learn what you can.
I: There is one way I will ever truly learn and you know it, Now you
brought me up here for a reason, didn't you, didn't you?
L: (He stares at Louis.) And what reason, would that be?
I: You want a companion You want a link to the outside world. Why that's
me, I mean, take me. That's what I want, I want what you have, I refuse
to let it end like this.
L: (Louis is slowly horrified, then outraged and angry. Louis turns
away.) Dear god I failed again, haven't I.
I: You haven't failed, God has nothing to do with this
L: (He looks at the boy. Then suddenly grabs him, lifts him off the
floor, bares his terrifying fangs and brings them to his throat. Malloy
is in terror.) Do you like this?
I: Ow
L: Do you like being food for the immortals? Do you like dieing?
I: (Malloy, now terrified, whispers) Stop.
Louis drops him. Malloy, falls on the floor, terrified. When he looks
up, Louis has vanished. He looks up at the tape. It is still turning. He
shakes his head. He gets up, and with shaking fingers gathers his tapes.
He runs out of the room.
EXT. STREET OUTSIDE. NIGHT.
Malloy running for his car, a convertible. He leaps in and screeches
off through the night.
EXT. STREETS. NIGHT.
Malloy whips the car through the tiny streets, in sheer, unfocused
terror.
EXT. GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE. NIGHT.
Malloy driving with streams of traffic over the bridge. He breathes
deeply, to calm himself. He takes a tape from his pocket, and with still
shaking hands, sticks it in the deck.
Louie's Voice (On Tape): 1791 was the year it happened, I was 24 younger
then you are now, but times where different then, I was a man at that age,
the Master of a large plantation just south of New Orlands, I had lost
my wife in child birth
I: Somebody change my shorts.
LV(OT): She and the infant had been buried less then half a year.
I: This is good stuff.
LV(OT): I would have been happy to join them.
I: Good stuff
Suddenly a bony hand shoots out from the back seat, pulls his neck backwards -- LESTAT sinks his teeth in his neck. MALLOY'S hands on the wheel shaking, shuddering, losing their grip. MALLOY'S eyes bulging, as the life drains out of him. Lestat sucking him like a rat. THE WHEEL swinging free of Malloy's dying hands. THE CAR veers wildly into oncoming traffic. LESTAT drinks regardless. A TRUCK coming towards them, about to crush the car. LESTAT'S BONY HAND grabs the wheel, jerks it as he drinks. THE CAR misses the truck by inches. LESTAT throws Malloy to one side, climbs into the front seat.
E: I assume I need no introduction. I feel better already.
LV(OT): Most of all I longed for death. I invited. A release from the
pain of living.
E: Oh Louie, Louie, Still whining Louie, have you heard enough? I've
had to listen to that for centuries. (He smiles.) Don't be afraid I'm going
to give you the choice I never had.
