第七集，靜靜地躺在那裏
那…我有個問題 So...question.
永生之人會死嗎？ Can an immortal meet mortality?
嚴格來說會 Technically, yes.
怎麼死？ How?
有好幾個方法 Several ways.
餓死 Starvation.
不喝人血 Deny the body the blood.
或是反過來，喝死人的血 Conversely, drink the blood of the dead.
我重生的第一個晚上他就告訴我了 He told me as much my first night reborn.
然後，還有火 Then, there's fire.
用火焚燒肉體，靈魂就無處可去 Consume the body with fire and it can house no spirit.
斬首 Decapitation.
他在巴吞魯日某個喝血喝醉的夜晚 告訴我的 He confided that to me one blood-drunken night in Baton Rouge.
理論上是可行的 Theoretically, it can be done.
但我們有可能殺死他嗎？ But could it be done by us to him?
小孩有可能殺掉父親嗎？ Could the children murder the father?
他比我們強大、速度比我們快 He was stronger than us, quicker than us,
擁有古老的力量 in possession of ancient powers
而且只會將一部分傳給他的後代 that had been passed on to his progeny only in a diminished form.
在原本就讓人不安的空氣裏 增添一份揮之不去的疑慮 Add to the toxic air a new ever-present paranoia,

我們被迫再次睡在同一個房間 We were compelled to sleep in the same chamber together again.
他只會允許這種情況 He would have it no other way.
我們會長時間忍耐 We would spend our hours enduring,
假裝相安無事 with little pretense of getting along,
實則充滿恨意地被關在一起 locked together in hatred.
他只會允許這種情況 He would have it no other way.
我們只能透過心電感應來謀劃一切 Our only opportunity to plot would be telepathically.
克勞蒂亞，出於某些她不肯透露的原因 And Claudia, for reasons she would not yet divulge,
行事非常小心 used our advantage sparingly.
知識是海洋的邊緣 Knowledge is the ocean's edge.
我是說，只要讀完這20卷書 你就能獲得這些資訊 I mean, to think it could somehow be gathered by a mere 20 volumes.
不過千萬別誤會 But make no mistake,
克勞蒂亞那雙小鹿般的無辜雙眼下 肯定在密謀什麼 Claudia was plotting, quiet in her deer blind.
還沒出版就已經成為遺物 A relic before it's even gone to the print shop.
今晚你得餵飽我們三個人 There's three of us you must provide for tonight.
我已經喝過了 I've had my fill.

終於要成為別人的獵物了 ...the deer come up the trail.
還有一個辦法 Another approaches.
是你 It's you.
哦！ Oh!
你是新的郵差？ Are you the new postman?
抱歉… I'm sorry. I'm sorry!
你是來送救贖之信的嗎？ Come to deliver letters of salvation?
我…我不是有意打擾你們的 I did... I did not mean to disturb.

把東西丟在我們家門口就是打擾我們 and we find it disturbing when things are abandoned on our doorstep.
你誤會了 You misunderstand.
我很仰慕你們 I-I'm an admirer.
我是來尋求幫助的 I-I've come seeking help.
嗯 Hmm.
這樣啊，那你走錯地方了 Well, you came to the wrong house.
他們說撒但住在這棟房子裏 They say that Satan lives in this house.
但我不這麼想 But I say it different.
我覺得天使… I say angels...
天使住在1132號 angels live at 1132.
有人知道你來這裏嗎？ Does anyone know you came here?
不，沒有人，我發誓 No. No one, I swear.
我自己一個人 I-I live alone,
住在烏爾蘇拉那邊 over on Ursuline.
我是你們的鄰居 I'm your neighbor.

「親愛的先生女士們…」 "Dear sirs and madam..."

「你們的秘訣是什麼？ "What is your secret?
能跟別人分享嗎？ Can it be shared?
我能付錢給你們 I have the means to pay you.
我快死了 I'm dyin'.

收拾一下，到棺材那裏 Clean up the mess and come to coffin.
我們得擬定計劃 We have plans to make.
我們是要擬定計劃 There were plans to make,
不過那些計劃的主謀是… but the architect of those plans was...
克勞蒂亞 Claudia.
沒錯 Right.
冷靜、老謀深算地執行任務 Cold, calculating, on mission.
我沒聽清楚，呃…抱歉 I-I interrupted. Uh...S-Sorry.
我分心了 I-I got caught up in it.
你剛才在說什麼？ You were saying?
你已經有計劃了，對吧？ You already have your plan, don't you?
我是有計劃 I have a plan,
不過得靠我們兩人一起合作才行 and it's gonna take both of us.
你要先告訴我計劃是什麼嗎？ Maybe start by telling me the plan?
你跟他睡同一個棺材 You share a coffin with him.
我又不會說夢話 I don't talk in my sleep.
你的心都在他身上 You share a heart with him.
我可以把它挖出來 I can cut it off.
不，路易，你做不到的 No, Louis. You can't.
你跟他只要單獨待在一起一小時 你們連呼吸都會同步 You spend an hour alone with him and you're breathing in sync together.
只有讓他分心，這個計劃才能成功 The plan only works if he's distracted.
我可以假裝 I can pretend.
我以前為了做樣子 曾經跟一個女人約會，莉莉 I used to see this woman, Lily, just to keep appearances.
-我可以… -他會發現的 -I can... -He'll know.
只有你讓步，才有可能成功 It'll only work if you give in.
全心全意愛他 Give him all your heart,
剩下的交給我來辦 and I'll do the rest.
我做不到 I can't do that.
我在他身邊會失去自己 I'll lose myself in him.
在裏面留一點位置給我 Leave a little shelf inside there for me.
我殺他之前，會跳進去把你救出來 I'll jump back in and pull you out before I kill him.

不行，我們必須隨著雁鴨 去布宜諾斯艾利斯 No, we must follow the geese to Buenos Aires.
巴哈 Bach.
每次都回去彈巴哈 Always back to Bach.
你不懂得欣賞巴哈 Bach is beyond you.
沒錯，那種優等民族的音樂… Yes, the music of the master race is...
不是我們這些雜種能聽懂的 not made for these mongrel ears.
你讓我惱怒 You irritate me.
連你的存在都讓我惱怒 Your very presence irritates me.
我來是想跟你和好，黎斯叔叔 I came to make peace with you, Uncle Les.

嗯 Hmm.
我有個禮物要給你，黎斯特 I've a present for you, Lestat.
一個想法 An idea.
嗯 Hmm.
你的想法？ An idea of yours?
那一定很狹隘 It must be a small gift, then.
一個瘦弱的男子往門縫塞了封信 A weak man slips a letter under his door,
偉大的吸血鬼黎斯特居然像隻老鼠一樣 嚇得躲回洞裏 and the glorious vampire Lestat runs like a rat to his hole.
讓我們離開的不是恐懼，而是智慧 It's not fear, but wisdom that guides our departure.
要像我們堅持這麼久是件費勁的事 It's heroic that we've lasted as long as we have.
我同意，不過…難道我們不能 以我們自己的方式離開嗎？ Agreed, but...shouldn't we leave on our own terms?
難道我們不該像嘲笑受害者那樣 嘲笑這座城市嗎？ Shouldn't we mock the city like we mock our victims?
看來你已經有想法了 You have something in mind, obviously.
一樣是離開 Do nothing different,
把一切安頓好準備出發 不過臨行前一晚，我們辦一場派對 settle our affairs, prepare to leave, but on our last night, throw a party.
我們是被社會遺棄的人，妹妹 We're pariahs, sister.
沒人會去怪胎辦的派對 No one's comin' to a party thrown by freaks.
沒錯 Precisely.
那個快死的人信裏有寫 It's in the dying man's letter.
他們想知道我們的秘訣 They want to know our secret.
他們以為我們這裏有長生不老泉 They think we've got the fountain of youth in here.
殊不知，他們就是我們的長生不老泉 They don't know they're the fountain.
這個想法很有趣… An amusing...
確實該這麼做 but needful idea.
我想你說得沒錯 I guess you're right.
只是個念頭而已 It was just a thought.
翻頁，路易，翻頁 The page, Louis. The page.

我一定會做到 There's no "trying."
狂歡節今年比較早 Mardi Gras is early this year.

別笑我 Say it's ridiculous.
那是不可能的 That's not how it works.
狂歡節舞會要提前一年規劃 They plan Mardi Gras balls a year out,
有時候要提早好幾年 sometimes years in advance.
大家都盛裝打扮、喝著酒 Everyone in costume, everyone drinking,
街上亂成一團，下手不容易被發現 chaos in the streets for an easy escape.
不值得冒這個險 It's not worth the risk.
-我跟你說過了 -不過… Told you. Although,
如果我們一晚不進食，或前幾晚都不吃 if we starved ourselves for a night or several nights prior
飢餓感就會飆高 ...the hunger would be transcendent.

你覺得我該死的會在乎嗎？ what makes you think I give a corn-peppered shit?
我們想僱用你替我們服務 We'd like to engage your services,
安達臣先生 Mr. Anderson.
我們想辦一場狂歡節舞會 We wanna throw a Mardi Gras ball.
在我們動身前，向這個社會致意 Pay our respects to society before moving on.

這種事通常要提早好幾年規劃 These things are planned years in advance.
路易，你是本地人應該要知道 Louis, you're a native.
你擴展出口業務 You've expanded your export business,
從港口運棺材回歐洲，對嗎？ shipping coffins from port back to Europe?
運輸和製造 Shipping and manufacturing.
兩邊都賺 Double dip.
利潤很好 Good margin,
產品需求量大 product in high demand.
你最近剛失去一艘船 You lost one of your ships recently.
被一艘弗裏茲的潛艇的魚雷擊中尾部 Took a torpedo in the rear from one of the Fritz's U-boats.
你想要一艘新的嗎？ Would you like a new one?
等等，在我同意這個丟臉無比 Wait, just one question
又會讓我名譽掃地的要求前 before I attempt your no doubt humiliating
讓我問個問題 and reputation-destroying ask.
你們是在哪裏遇見魔鬼的？ Where do you meet the Devil,
你們訂下了怎樣的協議？ and what are the terms of the agreement?
拉者的克魯負責策劃狂歡節主題 已經三年了 The Krewe of Raj had been three years in planning their Mardi Gras theme,
不過他們不到一周就放棄了 因為巴黎的羅格特和亞厘畢律師事務所 and they abandoned it within a week once the Parisian law firm
從大西洋另一端匯錢來賄賂他們 of Roget and Albert had transatlantically wired their bribes.
錢是從瑪萊區匯到密西西比 From the Marais to the Mississippi,
全數涌入紐奧良 money flooded the town.
本來沒空的攤商都改口說可以參與 Unavailable vendors became available.
隨之而來的流言蜚語鋪天蓋地地蔓延 And the gossip that followed broke through the levees.
那對奇怪的兄弟 以及他們像洋娃娃一樣的妹妹要露面了 The weird brothers and their doll-like sister were coming out.
那些懷著無盡的好奇心的人 And the paper ticket to the event

經過一個月的精心準備 It was a masterful month of preparation.
你瞄準目標 You aimed at the navel,
讓騙子上鉤 seduced the seducer.
到了我們開始禁食的時候 By the time we began our fasting,
黎斯特會說這整件事 Lestat would have told you the entire endeavor
從一開始就是他的主意 had been his idea to begin with.
什麼時候？ When is it?
是的 Yeah.
好的 Yes.
舞會前三個晚上我們都不會喝血 We'll go without the blood for three nights preceding the ball.
舞會上，我和路易會看你的眼神行動 At the ball, Louis and I will be following your leering eye.
或許我們自己也會挑一兩個 Maybe pluck one or two for ourselves.
我們會先問他們想不想長生不老 We'll ask them if they wanna be young forever.
如果他們說想 And if they say yes,

那火燒呢？ So, fire?
還有砍頭？ Behead the bastard?
當時她不肯告訴我 She wouldn't tell me at the time,
因為我就像她預料的一樣 陷入過去的感情裏 as I was slipping back into old feelings, as she said I would.
鴉片酊和砒霜 Laudanum and arsenic.
不過我沒多久後就知道了 But I would know soon enough.
謝謝 Thank you.
計劃是給誘餌下毒 Poison the bait was the game.
讓肉體看起來像是喝醉，事實上 Make it appear as if the flesh was drunk when, in fact,
受害者的靜脈都因為鴉片酊和砒霜 his victim's veins were swollen with a paralyzing brew
而腫脹麻痹 of laudanum and arsenic.
克勞蒂亞就快要嘗到自由的滋味 Claudia could taste her freedom,
飢寒交迫，心裏卻很快樂 suffered the hunger with a cold joy,
那種即將打敗狂妄的吸血鬼之王的喜悅 matched only by the sun-hot ego of the vampire king.
拉者的克魯來了！ And here comes the Krewe of Raj!
拉者王國萬歲… All hail to the Realm of Raj...
那是嬰兒嗎？ Is that a baby?
接下來的舞會是一場感官饗宴 The ball that followed was an assault of the senses,
大肆揮霍金錢 an extravagant waste of money.
而黎斯特對花車差勁的品味 And while Lestat's poor taste on the float
幾乎把拉者委員會的成員都逼走了 drove away most every member of the Raj Committee,
可以選擇的誘餌實在太多了 there was plenty of bait to choose from.
到處都是血 The blood was everywhere.
幾百顆心臟搏動、血管裏的血流聲 The veins and arteries of a few hundred hearts
像空襲警報般響亮 ringing out like air raid sirens,

你是懂得欣賞權力的人 You are a man who appreciates power.
繼續說，杜拉克先生 Tell me more, Mr. du Lac.
下花園區的人都很想你，萊昂柯特先生 You have been missed in the Lower Garden, Mr. Lioncourt.
我們聽說這幾年你都病著 We heard you'd been ill all these years.
不好意思，女士們，我們認識嗎？ Pardon me, madams, is there a history between us?
嗯，女子歌劇協會 Uh, the Women's Opera Society.
在普利坦尼亞街？ Prytania Street?
那已經是十幾年前的事了 Well, it has been over a decade.
當然，你說得沒錯 Of course. Yes.
你看起來不像生病的樣子 You don't appear ill.
謠言罷了，大家只是嫉妒我 Rumors, envy.
哦 Oh.
在《唐喬凡尼》那場無聊的講座上 Now, which one of you did I pull under the stairs
我是牽你們倆之中的誰下樓梯？ during that dull lecture on Don Giovanni?

陛下 Your Majesty,
請容我向您介紹麥克菲爾兄弟 I'd like to introduce you to the MacPhail brothers,

這樣啊… Well...
那盧克和約翰在哪？ And where are Luke and John?
你家花園有種迷迭香？ Is there rosemary in your garden?

我母親去年夏天種了一整籃 Our mother planted a whole bushel this past summer.
是嗎？ Did she?
國王突然肚子餓了 The king finds himself suddenly famished.
失陪 Would you excuse me?
我看著他汲取他人的崇拜 A cascade of feelings came over me
滿滿的情緒涌上心頭 as I watched him sponge up the adoration.
我想要他死 I wanted him dead.
我想把他佔為己有 I wanted him all to myself.
禁食是個錯誤 The fasting was a mistake.
我沒想清楚 I wasn't thinking clearly.
事情不太對勁 Something was off.
你這只可憐的狗 You miserable dog.
狗怎麼了？ What about a dog?
什麼狗？ What dog?
你剛剛提到狗 You just said something about a dog.
我才沒有 I said no such thing.
我看到你了，路易杜拉克 I see you, Louis du Lac.
還有一個 There's another one.
你只是餓了，路易 You're just hungry, Louis.
你聽到我剛剛說的話了，對吧？ You heard what I said just now, didn't you?
是因為穹頂 It's the dome.
這裏的建築師正好是 設計美國國會大廈的人 The architect that built this place made the US Capitol.
嗯 Mm-hmm.
他把屋子建成這樣，好讓你聽到 He made it so you could hear the sniping
別人在另一邊說你壞話 and whatnot across the way.
這裏又叫「耳語走廊」 Calls it a "whispering gallery."
當然… Course...
樂隊這麼大聲你都能聽到我說話… how you heard me over the band...
這一定是你和你那個戀童同志 It's got to be one of those tricks that you and your fag
撒但三人組的詭計之一 pederast satanic trio got in your pocket.
好棒的派對！ It's a hell of a party!
你知道永生的秘訣嗎？ Do you know the secret to immortality?
絕對不要結婚 Never get married.
你真幽默 That's a good joke.
現在你拿到你的船了… And now that you have your boat...
難道你不想要更多艘嗎？ ...don't you want more?
國王被他的頭發出賣了 The king's hair has betrayed the king.
嗯 Hmm.
那是黑暗公爵在說笑呢！ Was that a witticism from the Duke of Gloom himself?
我被餓昏頭了 Hunger's got me light-headed.
我會想念這個地方的 I'm going to miss this place.
這個城市每一寸土地都是建立在 There's not an inch of this city that wasn't built
它週遭的蠻荒之上 from the fierce wilderness that surrounds it.
颶風、洪水、熱病 Hurricanes, floods, fevers.
潮濕的氣候在每塊招牌上留下痕跡 The damp climate on every painted sign,
還有每顆石頭表面上 every stone facade.
從高處的窗戶 High windows,
看見閃耀的文明碎片 through which enameled bits of civilization glitter.
背影慢慢浮現 Silhouettes emerging,
徘徊、想捕捉那道無聲的閃電 wandering out to catch a silent flash of lightning.
絲滑溫暖的夏雨 The silky warmth of summer rain.
不顧一切地活著… Desperately alive...
卻又那麼脆弱 ...and desperately fragile.
看來我也餓昏頭了 The hunger has me too, it seems.
胸花都發出去了 The boutonnieres have all been given out.
你準備好就能行動 We're ready when you are.
飽餐前再跳最後一支舞吧 A last dance before the feast.
我很樂意，非常樂意 I'd like that. I'd like that very much.
很多人描寫過紐奧良陰冷的夜晚 So much would be written about that grim night in New Orleans,
但對我們在樂卓博的最後一晚 卻隻字不提 but not a single mention of our last hour at Latrobe's,
彷彿在舞池發生的罪行讓人難以啟齒 as if the only crime unfit to print took place on that dance floor.
我唯一的職責是分散黎斯特的注意力 It was my sole duty to distract Lestat,
可是在他明亮如鏡的眼中 but in his mirrored eyes,
被分散的注意力直接反映在我身上 the distraction reflected back onto me.
跟他在耳語走廊的中央起舞 And in the dead center of the whispering gallery,
我將計劃完全拋諸腦後 I lost the thread to my plotting
再次陷入他的無底深淵裏 and fell once more into the well with no bottom.
我是他的，他是我的 I was his, and he was mine.
能讓我跟他跳完這支舞嗎？ May I finish this dance?
他願意就可以，妹妹 If he'll have you, sister.
我們不該這麼做的 We shouldn't do this.
太遲了 Too late.
我已經下手了 I've done it already.
什麼時候？誰？ When? Who?
剛剛，雙胞胎的其中一人 Just now. One of the twins.
他一個小時內就會身亡 He'll be dead on his feet in an hour.
清醒一點！ Wake up!

蒙莫朗西路 on the Rue de Montmorency,
住著一位書商 there lived a seller of books,
他在一間私人圖書館 who found,
買了一本20頁的手稿 in an otherwise regretful purchase at a private library,
結果發現自己解讀不了其中的內容 a twenty-page manuscript written in a text he could not decipher.
因此他動身前往西班牙找人翻譯 So, he traveled to Spain to have it translated.
在途中… And on his way...
他遇見一位猶太信徒 ...he met a Jewish converso

那名書商的後半輩子 The bookseller dedicated the rest of his life

這碗有洞 The bucket's got a hole in it.
裏面是空的！ It's empty!
很快就滿了，湯 Not for long, Tom.
不，別過來！ No, stay back!
快走… Let's go! Let's go!
鎖住了！ It's locked!
我們得離開這裏！ We gotta go!
求求你… Please...
我不想死 I don't wanna die.
不… No, no, no!
快起來… Get up! Get up! Get up!
不… No, no, no, no, no!
救命！救命啊！ Help! Someone help!
不 No.
不，你沒必要這麼做，求你了，別這樣 No. You don't have to do this. Please, don't do this.
-噓… -你不必…不，求求你 -Shh, shh, shh. -You don't have to...No, please.
不… No, no, no, no, no!
不，站起來！ No, get up!
哦，親愛的 Oh, dear.
你把他們拆散了 You broke up the pair.
我知道你兩個都想要 I know you wanted them both,
可是路易沒忍住 but Louis couldn't resist.
抱歉，我的愛人 I'm sorry, my love.
我留了一個給你 I saved one of 'em for you.
呵 Huh.
是嗎？ Did you?
你真大方 How generous of you.
嗯 Mm.
啊 Ah.
這傢伙醉得很厲害 Quite drunk, this one.
迷迭香… Rosemary...
還有其他東西 ...and something else.
是什麼，親愛的？ What is it, my love?
我想是琴酒 I-I think it's the gin.
我不是在問你 I wasn't talking to you.
鴉片酊 Laudanum.
砒霜 Arsenic.
她今晚也在舞會上 She was at the ball tonight.
就跟那些電話接線生一樣… Like one of those girls on the telephone switchboard...
偷聽到她不該聽到的事 ...eavesdropping in on things that she shouldn't.
「太遲了，我已經下手了」 "Too late. I've done it already."
「什麼時候？誰？」 "When? Who?"
「剛剛，雙胞胎的其中一人 "Just now. One of the twins.
他一個小時內就會身亡」 He'll be dead on his feet in an hour."
她不該來到這世上的，路易 She should never have been made, Louis.
你看她對我們做了什麼好事 Look what she did to us.
她把一切都毀了 She's corrupted everything.
安東妮更適合跟我們住在一起 Antoinette will be much more agreeable to our life together.
黎斯特… Lestat...
你一定覺得我很蠢 you must think me an idiot.
「她今晚也在舞會上」 "She was at the ball tonight."
不只是在舞會上 Not just the ball.
鴉片酊和砒霜 Laudanum and arsenic.
你企圖在派對上殺了他？ You're gonna try to kill him at this party?
我一定會做到 There's no "trying."
我是有計劃 不過得靠我們兩人一起合作才行 I have a plan, and it's gonna take both of us.
火車一個小時後就要開了 The train's leavin' in an hour.
快離開那張長凳 Get off that bench.
你應該讓火車開走的，黎斯叔叔 You shoulda let that train go, Uncle Les.
怎麼會？ How?
是誰？ Who?
-叫你「他」的那傢伙 -他？ -He who called you..."him." -Him?
總是瞧不起你的那個人，黎斯叔叔 Always the petty slights with you, Uncle Les.
道別吧 Have your goodbye.
路易 Louis.
路易！ Louis!
路易 Louis.
我們之間連著一條線 We are joined by a cord,
一條看不見的線，但那是真的 by a cord that you cannot see, but it is real.
真的存在 It is real.
我愛過你… I have loved you...
全心全意地愛你 with all myself.
我很慶幸… I'm happy it was you...
在我身邊的是你… here with me...
血從他身上涌出 The blood poured out of him
人類絕不可能那般出血… as it might never pour from a human being...
他吸下的血全都流了出來 ...all the blood he had filled himself with.
他仰躺著 He lay now on his back,
眼睛狠狠地盯著天花板 his eyes staring wildly at the ceiling,
眼睛不停左右打轉 the irises dancing from side to side.
「把我放進棺材，路易…」 "Mets-moi dans mon cercueil, Louis, Louis."
「把我放進棺材，路易…」 "Put me in my coffin, Louis, Louis."
他的眼睛往上翻 His irises rolled to the top of his head.
眼白逐漸失去光彩 The whites of his eyes went dim.
我無助地看著… This horror that had been Lestat...
這個駭人的黎斯特 ...I stared helplessly at it.
一動也不動地躺在那裏 The thing lay still.
沒有理由再拖下去 There was no point in lingering.
大家很快就會 The house on Rue Royale
對皇家街的房子起疑 would soon become the focus of all too many questions.
在紐奧良的最後一晚 For the very last time in New Orleans,
我們按照所受的訓練，清理了 we followed our training and cleaned up the evidence
精心策劃的殺人現場的證據 of our most elaborate kill.
幾乎所有的證據 Well, almost.
我們得把他燒死 We need to burn him.
我殺過很多人，只是… I've killed so many, j-just...
我沒有… no one I...
我不知道我能不能做到 I don't know if I can.
把他丟進去… Just load him in...
假裝他跟其他人一樣 like he's one of them.
我們看著黎斯特 似乎期待著他會自己化成灰 It was as if we'd expected Lestat to disappear in a puff of smoke,
或被吸回地獄 or get sucked back into hell.
所以你們怎麼處理他的屍體？ So, what did you do with it?
我們用地毯把他包起來 We wrapped him in a carpet.
塞到行李箱裏 We threw him in a trunk,
跟垃圾一起丟在外面 and left him out with the garbage.
然後開車離開 We got in our car and drove away,
直接開向港口 headed straight for the port.
去哈瓦那的船？ The boat for Havana?
另一艘船 Another boat.
一艘貨船 A merchant vessel,
剛下水的船，開往歐洲 newly christened and headed for Europe.
你買給安達臣的船 The boat you bought Anderson,
裝滿棺材的那艘船 a shipload of coffins for cargo.
足以掩護兩名 Plenty of cover for a couple of stowaways,
準備迎向人生新冒險的偷渡客 ready to begin the adventure of our lives.
嗯… Well...
那不是很順利嗎？ isn't that neat and tidy?
確實有艘船，我們也上了船 There was a ship. We did get on it.
對，我在前50頁讀到了 Yeah, I read that, the first 50 pages.
但似乎不是 Not exactly the, uh,
邁向人生新冒險的感覺 adventure-of-our-lives feeling I'm feeling.
那是一場很痛苦的逃離 It was a traumatic escape.
嗯，但是她沒有說得很清楚 Yeah, but she didn't say that explicitly.
我是說，或許是寫在被撕掉的那幾頁 I mean, maybe in some of the pages that got torn out.
嗯，不算被撕掉的 Well, not torn out, exactly.
比較像是用尺割下來的 More like with a ruler.
不過，呃… But, um...
感覺她有一段時間對你恨之入骨 there's a feeling that she hated your guts there for a while.
為什麼？ Why is that?
我心神不寧，對於我弟弟的死 I was haunted by my brother's death,
我妹妹的遺棄 by the abandonment of my sister,
和殺害黎斯特 by the murder of Lestat,
-我… -殺害？怎麼會是殺害？ -I... -Murder? What murder?
那是對他的仁慈 It was an act of mercy.
你沒有殺害黎斯特 You didn't kill Lestat.
你為了心中認定那份狗屁不通的愛情 放了他一馬 You spared him, out of some fucked-up idea you had about love.
愛情？ Love?
我像殺豬一樣讓他流血，看著他死去 I bled him like a pig and waited for the death rattle.
你被一位市議員近距離開槍 You were shot point-blank by an alderman.
你被人從一千英尺的高空丟下來 都活下來了 You were dropped a thousand feet and survived.
你放火燒安東妮只是要確保她不會復活 You torched Antoinette just to make sure.
你把垃圾丟去哪了，路易？ Where does the trash go, Louis?
你把垃圾丟在路上 You take the trash down to the street
有人開著卡車，把它撿上車 and some guys show up in a truck and they throw it in the back,
然後他們開著車，把垃圾丟到荒郊野外 是這樣嗎？ and then, they drive it out to the middle of nowhere, right?
不是 No.
他們把垃圾載到垃圾場 They take the trash to the dump.
我和我第一任妻子曾經住在 And having lived two blocks away from the dump
紐約菲什基爾外 just outside of Fishkill, New York,
離垃圾場兩個街區的地方 with my first wife,
我可以很肯定的告訴你 I can state, with authority,
那裏除了垃圾還有什麼 what else you'll find there.
老鼠 Rats.
超大只的老鼠 Big fuckin' rats,
跟奇雲杜蘭特的球鞋一樣大 the size of Kevin Durant's sneakers.
它們身上的血足以讓他復活 Enough blood in them to bring back the dead.
更何況他能從行李箱裏開鎖 Especially one in a trunk with locks on the inside.
你心知肚明，路易 You knew it, Louis.
你肯定知道這件事 You had to.
最會吃老鼠的傢伙 The biggest rat-eater of them all.
今天的訪問到此為止 This session is over.
伊斯蘭教一年有幾天？ How many days in the Islamic year?
阿拉有多少個不同的名字？ How many names are there for Allah?
355天，99個 355, and 99.
為什麼一個200磅重的保鏢 被他吸血就昏過去 Why does a 200-pound bouncer pass out after he sucks him off,
而你，最多不超過130磅的人 被吸血後連眼睛都不會眨一下？ and you, a wet T-shirt away from 130, doesn't even blink?
我沒辦法燒掉他 I couldn't burn him.
但是克勞蒂亞可以 But Claudia could.
不，她也做不到 No, she couldn't.
她把筆插到他的喉嚨裏 She stuck a pen in his neck.
用他自己的血記下了他的遺言 She recorded his last words in his own blood.
那女孩絕對不介意 The girl did not have a fuckin' problem
放火把他燒了，好嗎？ tossing him on the grill, okay?
-太陽快出來了 -不行 -The sun's comin' up. -No.
-我們必須把他燒了 -不行 -We have to burn him. -No.
只有這樣才能真的殺掉他！ It's the only way we'll know!
不行！ No!
我說不行！ I said no!
當時在下雨嗎，路易？ Was it raining, Louis?
她不能燒掉他 She couldn't burn him.
你詛咒了她，讓她墮入黑暗 You cursed her into the darkness.
在他們倆之間，每次你都選擇黎斯特 You chose Lestat over her, time and time again.
你需要的不是回憶錄，路易 You don't need a memoir, Louis.
你需要的是一百次的創傷心理治療 You need a hundred sessions of EMDR.
你知道的，就是士兵看到他們的戰友 You know, the shit they put soldiers through
在他們面前被炸死 when they see one of their platoon buddies
去做的那種治療？ get blown up in front of them?
你只知道一半的故事 You've only heard half the story.
別說了 Stop.
你活了144年 144 years of life,
你還是那個拉皮條的路易 and you're still Louis the Pimp,
付錢找妓女在房裏跟你聊天 paying a whore to sit in a room and talk with you.
為什麼？ 'Cause why?
因為你想跟全世界分享你的故事？ You got some story you wanna tell the whole world about yourself?
要是你知道真相，你會抬不起頭的 When you hear it, you'll be ashamed,
你會後悔自己說出這些話 ashamed of what you say to him now.
拜託你別說了，拉希德 Please stop, Rashid.
一千萬 Ten million dollars.
那是我開的價碼 That's my whore number.
我的職業生涯好多年前就結束了 Career's been over for years.
成就？ Legacy?
那是董事會成員和穿著樂福鞋的 那些混蛋才在意的東西 That's for board members and assholes in loafers.
我女兒們根本不跟我說話了 My daughters aren't even speaking to me anymore,
至少我能留點錢給她們 so at least I can leave them some cash.
但你要我老實說？ But an honest reckoning?
不 No.
這跟當年在舊金山發生的事一模一樣 This is the same shit that happened in San Francisco.
不完全一樣 Not exactly.
哪裏不同了，路易？ How is it any different, Louis?
這次我不會救你了 This time, I won't save your life.
路易有時候會發洩他的情緒 Louis can sometimes act out.
我會保護他，別讓他傷害到自己 I protect him from himself,
一直都是如此 always have.
在舊金山那晚是我出手阻止他的 Stopped him that night in San Francisco.
你當時也在場 You were there.
你不記得了，是吧？ You don't remember, do you?
我不記得了 No, I don't remember.
你是怎麼形容回憶的？ What was that you said about memory?
「怪獸」，是吧？ "A monster," was it?
我看到你站在陽光下啊 I saw you standing in the sun.
隨著年紀越來越大 陽光對我們的傷害就越來越小 As we age, the sun loses its power over us.
對一個514歲的吸血鬼來說 太陽不過就是顆平庸的恆星 What's a mediocre star to a 514-year-old vampire?
丹尼爾莫洛伊… Daniel Malloy...
我向你介紹一下，吸血鬼阿曼德 I'd like you to meet the vampire Armand.
我此生的摯愛 The love of my life.
