Interview with the Vampire (TV Series)

Like Angels Put in Hell by God (2022)

Gopal Divan: Dr. Fareed Bhansali

Quotes 

• Daniel Molloy : Hey, Doc, did you know there's a flying vampire apocalypse coming your way?

  Louis de Pointe du Lac : Most vampires do not possess the Cloud Gift. With few exceptions, only the most ancient of us have it.

  Daniel Molloy : You know he's a vampire, right?

  Dr. Fareed Bhansali : I do not discuss my patients with anyone but the patients themselves.

  Daniel Molloy : [to the recorder]  That's the voice of Dr. Fareer Bhansali...

  Dr. Fareed Bhansali : That is not my voice.

  Daniel Molloy : ...He's the personal physician to the deputy prime minister and...

  Dr. Fareed Bhansali : And I am not here.

  Daniel Molloy : ...the vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac.

  Rashid : He's officially off the record.

  Daniel Molloy : NDAs signed by any and all who cross the threshold, eh?

• Daniel Molloy : Can you fly, Louis?

  Louis de Pointe du Lac : No.

  Daniel Molloy : So for twenty years, you lived with the vampire Lestat and you didn't know he had the flying gift?

  Louis de Pointe du Lac : The Cloud Gift. And yes, it was a remarkable bit of restraint he managed.

  Daniel Molloy : Why would he do that?

  Louis de Pointe du Lac : I suppose he thought if he exposed all his power to me, I would never feel his equal and the relationship would suffer.

  Daniel Molloy : 'He only beat me the one time, Officer. It's not his fault.' Classic Stockholm, eh, Doc?

  Dr. Fareed Bhansali : I am not here.

• Louis de Pointe du Lac : For six years in all, these raw and desperate mea culpas came like the tide. And for six years, they were greeted with silence or fire. We burned more gifts than bodies in that decade, but they would not stop coming. And Lestat's relentless determination began to crack my considerable armor. Perhaps it was the modesty of the gesture... but in the spring of 1937, one broke through. He had written it himself in the music of the hour. His first composition in 100 years... Rashid, please play the song in question for Mr. Molloy and the doctor.

  Dr. Fareed Bhansali : I'm not here.

  Louis de Pointe du Lac : [Come to Me plays in the background]  He had engaged a local record company. And when the musicians they hired proved unsatisfactory, he played all the instruments himself.

  Daniel Molloy : That's his voice?

  Louis de Pointe du Lac : Yeah. He pressed only one album. Had the master recordings destroyed. You're listening to an inferior re-recording now. The audacity of it all was matched only by its sincerity. He had made the near-perfect valentine... with one flaw. One perfectly premeditated flaw.

• Dr. Fareed Bhansali : Pleasure never meeting you, Mr. Molloy.

  Daniel Molloy : He said to no one.

  Louis de Pointe du Lac : Quick and clever despite two bags of fluid.

  Daniel Molloy : Legal dope makes me constipated, but the wit flows like a river.
