我…年紀大一點 I was...older.
我們那個時候就知道我們有一點不一樣 We both knew, even then, we were a little different.
安東妮好嗎？ How's Antoinette?
很乏味 Tedious.
我想應該不會再有下一次了 No, I don't see that happening again.
這些風流韻事最後都會無疾而終 These affairs always flame out.
我們明天要不要一起出去？ Shall we have a night out tomorrow?
我要去看嘉麗絲跟孩子們 I was gonna go see Grace and the kids,
假裝若無其事 keep up appearances.
看完之後怎麼樣？ How 'bout after?
好 Fine.
把我們鎖起來，好嗎？ Lock us in, would you?
紐奧良當時很多街道沒鋪地磚 Many streets in New Orleans weren't paved at the time.
他鞋子上的泥土 可能是在任何地方沾到的 The mud on his boots could have come from anywhere.
那晚有下雨嗎？ Was it raining that night?
我有人了 Yeah, I got someone.

可能河口是乾的，但法屬區是濕的 It could have been dry on the bayou and wet in the Quarter.
畢竟那裏是路易斯安那州 It's Louisiana.
回憶漫長且驚險的旅程 The odyssey of recollection.
嗯 Hmm.
我十幾年後遇到莊納 I would meet Jonah decades later.

我就跟你們說吧 What did I tell y'all?
原形畢露 There he is.
嘉麗絲 Grace.
出去！ Get out!
首先，一聲令下 First of all, at the call,
當戰事開始 when the war began,
派特自願從軍，為國奮戰 Pat enlisted in the army as a fighting man.
當演練開始，他們每日行走100英里 When the drills began, they'd walk 100 miles a day.
即使大家精疲力竭，小派仍會說 Though the rest got tired, Paddy always used to say.

我聽到你的心在舞蹈！ I heard your hearts dancing!
你像個偷窺狂一樣從頭看到尾！ You watched the whole thing like some creeper!
然後，我看到你在路邊停車 And then, I watched you pull over
吸乾一隻狗 and drain a dog

沒有妓女、烈酒或撲克牌 How am I supposed to get bodies in the door
我要怎麼招攬生意？ without hookers, hooch, or cards?
有給你面子了，但你不聽 Hey, you were given a courtesy, and you ignored it.
芬恩奧沙 Finn O'Shea,
他以前替我工作 a man who used to work for me,
現在在對街有間妓院 市議會卻沒有要他關門 got a dirty house across the street. City ain't shut off his lights.
芬恩奧沙在他的酒吧裏提供三文治 Finn O'Shea serves sandwiches at his bar.
所以被視為晚餐酒吧 That makes him a supper club.
奧沙先生遲早會把他的生意 遷到貝森街河邊 In time, Mr. O'Shea will move his business Riverside Basin Street,
跟其他人一樣 along with everyone else.
所以只是先從有色人種的開始羅？ Oh, so you just startin' with the colored businesses, then?
白人經營的事業似乎確實在蓬勃發展 It does appear businesses run by white gentlemen are thriving.
聽我說，我盡量說服市議會了 Look, I-I tried to persuade the city council.
他們說這樣太短視近利 They said it was short-sighted at best.
哼，這無趣的黑人 Mm, this tedious Negro,
還像巴著救生艇一樣地 巴著他克裏奧爾人的遺產 still clinging to his Creole heritage like a life raft.
大家都有損失 We're all hurtin'.
這些戒酒的人也是 It's these damn teetotalin' types, too.
好像我們應該要把紐奧良變成托皮卡 As if we're supposed to turn New Orleans into Topeka,
或是鹽湖城一樣 or God help us, Salt Lake City.
我給個建議一下，杜拉克先生 Might I suggest, Mr. du Lac,
你要不要把你的事業遷到法屬區？ that you move your operation to the Quarter?
讓你的女孩們離窗戶遠一點就好了 Just keep your girls out the windows.
你覺得誰會賣我法屬區的土地？ Who do you suggest gon' sell me a property in the Quarter?
讓萊昂柯特先生替你出面 Make Mr. Lioncourt here the public face of your operations.
這是路易的嗜好 This is Louis' hobby,
不是我的 not mine.
好吧，只能說 Well, there's, shall we say,
在法庭上的財產持有人中 有一大群抱團的 a clannish majority amongst the property holders in the court.
也許老湯說的是對的 也許到頭來，路易啊 Well, maybe old Tom here had it right. Maybe in the end, Louis,
你就只是個多年前 就被大撈一筆的蠢皮條客 you're a dumb pimp who got robbed blind years ago.
大丈夫能屈能伸 It's bend or break, I'm afraid.
你把杜鵑花賣給我是因為 你早就知道會有這一天了嗎 Did you sell me the Azalea 'cause you knew this day was comin',
湯？ Tom?
你說話有禮貌一點 You put a "sir" on the end of that.
他是照你開的價錢把公平競爭賣給你的 And he sold you the Fairplay for a price you set.
你沒回答我的問題，湯 You ain't answer my question, Tom.
我們現在同在一條船上，杜拉克先生 Now, we're all in this together, Mr. du Lac.
我很樂意買回這棟屋子 I'll be happy to buy the property back from you.
我出價… Say...
一成五好了 15 cents on the dollar.
當自己的母親看見你眼裏的惡魔時 When your mother sees the Devil in your eyes,
要割捨是很難權衡的 it's a hard assessment to abandon.
我來自於惡魔嗎？ Am I from the Devil?
我的真實本性同於惡魔嗎？ Is my very nature that of the Devil?
我一直避而不談 I had hedged against the question,
但現在，問題迎面而來 but now, it completely overwhelmed me.
我們不需要這筆錢 We don't need the money.
重點不在這裏 It's not about that.
你覺得我會就這樣 讓那只蛇咬我跟我的人嗎？ You think I'm gon' let that snake bite me and my people?
你在克萊本大道有投資 You have your investments on the Claiborne Avenue.
什麼？帽子，小雜貨店嗎？ What, hats, little grocery stores?
賺點蠅頭小利嗎？ Nickels, dimes, quarters.
所以重點是錢嘛 So, it is about the money.
什麼事？ What is it?
我要替大家說 I'm gon' speak for the girls and say,
身為少數持有人 那是一個愚蠢該死的商業計劃 as minority owners, that's a stupid fucking business plan.
僅限有色人種，白人不許進入
我所處的狀態 The state I was in,
我很…我很躁狂 I was what... I was manic.
掛那樣的牌子 You put up a sign like that,
是在自找麻煩 you're inviting chaos.
而展現出來的傲慢讓我忽略自己的渴望 And the hubris on display caused me to neglect my thirst.
這張禁止令是紐奧良市議會 奧爾德曼批准的 This cease and desist order is granted by the New Orleans Council
因其最終屬違法… of Aldermen for the final infractions...
越是忽略，我的渴望就越加強烈 And in neglect, my thirst grew harder,
我的太陽穴抽動 my temples throbbed,
最後 and finally,
我再也按捺不住 I could not stand it any longer.
破掉？什麼破掉的窗戶？ Broken? What broken windows?
我掙扎不已 And I was through struggling.
不法活動跟暴力行為不會被容許 Illicit activity and thuggish behavior will not be tolerated.
我們附近有家人跟軍人 We have families and service members nearby,
為了他們的安全，我們提醒… and it's for their concern, we remind...
老鼠、貓狗 Rats, cats,
再也無法滿足我 dogs would no longer suffice.
…巴吞魯日也支持市議會的行動 ...and Baton Rouge supports the actions of the City Council, as well.
找一個美國黑人 Take a Black man in America,
把他變成吸血鬼 make him a vampire,
招惹那個吸血鬼，看看結果會如何 fuck with that vampire, and see what comes of it.
闖進我家是一回事 Breakin' into my home is one thing.
害我把亞瑟頓摔了 Making me drop my Atherton,
可就更低級了 now that's a new low.
我想你是來威脅我的 You're here to threaten me, I suppose.
你覺得我對你有宿怨 You think I have a vendetta against you,
對你的種族有宿怨 against your race.
你要這樣想就這樣想吧 Well, think that if you must.
史多瑞維爾是一艘在下沉的船 Storyville is a sinking ship,
理所當然地 and naturally,
你是第一個溺死的人 you are the first to drown.
但那是你的問題 But that's your problem,
路易，一直都是這樣 Louis, always has been.
你太自大了 You're arrogant.
你沒有接受自己在這個世界的位置 You haven't accepted your place in this world.
你皮膚蒼白的愛人 And your pale lover,
他那似乎源源不絕的資金供給 with his seemingly endless supply of capital,
跟在你們雞姦小屋裏面發生的奇怪的事 and the weird goings-on in your Sodomite townhouse
改變不了你是一個飛得太靠近太陽的 won't change the fact that you're a tiny man
小人物的事實 flying too close to the sun.
那個就是我，路易… And that's what I am, Louis...
那個太陽 the sun.
走開 Walk away.
你的心跳怎麼這麼快？ Why is your heart beatin' so fast?
那些成定局的事 Everything that's been done is legal
都是符合紐奧良章程的合法行為 under the City of New Orleans charter.
再說一次，我在那市議會裏 只是一個小奧爾德曼 And again, I'm merely one alderman on that council.
有更硬的方式可以處理這件事 There's a harder way of doing this.
你在想你太太跟你兩個女兒 You're thinking about your wife and your two daughters
慶幸她們 and how fortunate it is
現在在你的避寒別墅裏 that they're away in your winter home.
是該慶幸沒錯 It is fortunate.
我讓你重新裝子彈 I'll let you reload.
我說我很自大？ You said I'm arrogant?
也許我是很自大！ Maybe I am arrogant!
你…你是什麼東西？ What... What are you?
我是吸血鬼 I'm a vampire.
坦白說，我非常以你為榮，路易 I must confess, I'm very proud of you, Louis.
雖然跟我教的大相逕庭 It goes against much of my teaching,
但你執行得泰然自若 but you managed to execute it with such aplomb.
我不是為我自己做的 I didn't do it for me.
我是為了我的城市、我的人做的 I did it for my city, my people.
毀了我們的事業，賤價收購土地 Destroy our businesses and buy the land for cheaper.
我知道他們在做什麼！ I know what they doing!
所以，那個虐殺是為了你的人做的？ So, that torturous death was for your people?
像公共藝術品般大剌剌地展示他的屍體 That garish display of his body, like some public art piece,
是為了你的人做的？ was for your people?
我沒想到會這樣 I didn't see this coming.
謊話就省了吧 Save that lie for yourself.
他懇求你的時候，你沒有笑嗎？ Did you not smile when he begged?
你把他大卸八塊的時候不覺得開心嗎？ Did you not feel pleasure as you carved him up?
也許你早就料到了卻沒有阻止我 Maybe you saw it comin' and didn't stop me.
也許你安靜是有目的的 Maybe you went quiet on purpose.
你會那樣做是因為那讓你開心 You did what you did because it gave you pleasure.
黑暗之禮的同伴，終於啊 Companion of the dark gift, finally.
我們應該把這當作我們的紀念日 We should make this our anniversary.
紀念日？ Anniversary?
外面的事是我造成的 That out there, that's on me.
對 Well, yes.
對，你只不過是給他們借口而已 Yes, you merely provided them the excuse.
就像我說的…把他們丟入一個狀況裏 It's as I say... toss them into circumstance,
他們會直搗黃龍 they go for the throat.
這就是為什麼我們走不下去的原因 And that's why you and me ain't never gon' work.
這就是為什麼你永遠會隻身一人的原因 That's why you're always gonna be alone.
那一晚，我從法屬區跑走 I ran from the Quarter that night,
跑到暴力最肆無忌憚的地方 ran to where the violence spread most wild.
我在街上踉蹌而行 像個失去理智的孩子 I stumbled through the streets like an irrational child
他在小鳥身上 測試了自己的能耐，現在卻問 who had tested his strength on the small bird and now asked,
「我可以再把它變回來嗎？」 "Can I make it whole again?"
我可以幫你嗎？拜託讓我幫忙 Can I help you? Please let me help.
別幫了，跑就對了 Don't help, just run.
他們的臉像狂風中的雪般跑過我身邊 Their faces raced past me like snow in a terrible wind,
渾然不知這報應是因我而起的 unaware that it was I who had brought this retribution.
我才應該為這個罪付出代價 It was I who should pay for this sin.
然後… And then...
救命！ Help me!
其中一個難以置信的時刻 ...one of those inconceivable moments
你之前是誰 where who you were before
跟自此之後你將永遠是誰 最終都將有所印記 and who you will be forever after is marked in time.
救命！ Help!
一棟公寓，現在成了火窟 A rooming house, now a fire trap.
我救不了杜鵑花 I could not save the Azalea.
我救不了史多瑞維爾 I could not save Storyville.
我救不了在另一道牆後的阿姨 I could not save the aunt on the wrong side of the wall,
但我救得了她 but I could save her.
