Flint’s dead! I saw him die. A terrible death it was.
If ever a man’s ghost walked, his would.
loouis, louies... watch this programme de télévision with me, loeuies. it has revealed to me a most thrilling premise.... you see, the handsome psychoanalysist communes with the troubled young man who is ill at ease with his sublime gift, that which allows him to hear the dark songs in the hearts and minds of men.... and it appears it is the very doctor of his mind, louise, whose heart might sing the darkest song of them all. is that not electrifying, louuie? don't you find it devastatingly fateful? luoiuise?
Have you no memory of how we got here? What they took from us? What does it matter now? What does it matter? What does it matter what happened then if we have no life now? Because there is no life here. There is no joy here. There is no love here. There’s no love here. What are you talking about? What do you think I’m out there fighting for if not to make all those things possible here? You’ll fight a war so we can make a life? You don’t get one without the other, my sweet. No. You’re wrong. I sent that letter to show you that you’re wrong. There is a life in Boston. There is joy there, and music, and peace. The door is open. I’ve opened it for you. And it requires no war and no blood and no sacrifice. It requires an intolerable sacrifice. To accept a pardon? To apologize! Apologize? Who will you be apologizing to? To England! They took everything from us. And then they call me a monster. The moment I sign that pardon, the moment I ask for one, I proclaim to the world that they were right. This ends when I grant them my forgiveness. Not the other way around. This path you’re on… it doesn’t lead where you think it does. If he were here, he’d agree with me.

oh to be a stage girl in the 30s sitting in my uncomfortable outfit, looking all feathered & positively dazzling in a dressing room packed with other feathered n positively dazzling ladies, sighing because my good stockings have ripped again & having another one of the girls touch the rip on the back of my thigh with tenderness before she tuts & says ‘that’s too bad, sugar. let’s see if i have some that will fit you’. oh to try on the same tights that have been on her legs & to have her say ‘the trick is petroleum jelly’ before she makes me wiggle them down so she can get out a tub of vaseline and make me shine from the waist down & then tell me we’re gonna be stars together one day and we don’t need anyone else but each other and for me to climb over all the snoring girls late at night to lay right next to her & hold her tender hands & say ‘yeah, ok, just me and you’
ONE WAY OUT
There is one way out. Right now, the building is ours. You need to run, climb, kill! You need to help each other. You see someone who’s confused, someone who is lost, you get them moving and you keep them moving until we put this place behind us. There are 5,000 of us. If we can fight half as hard as we’ve been working, we will be home in no time. One way out!
Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac in Interview with the Vampire (2022 – ) episode six “Like Angels Put in Hell by God”
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that even though every aspect of the prison is meant to pit every single prisoner against each other with forced hierarchy and competition, everyone is STILL persisting to work together. Tables coordinate to keep track of what machinery is affected by the electrocuted floor. Teams work together to find ways to assist and work with a physically and mentally-disabled teammate. Entire floors use sign language to communicate news across the entire facility.
They’re all still looking out for each other in a cage designed to make them fight like dogs
