[After Louis destroys the Parisian vampires in revenge for Claudia and Madeleine's deaths]
Armand:
You made me see their failings, Louis. They were... doomed. Stuck in their decadent time. And they had forgotten the first lesson: that we must be powerful, beautiful, and without regret.
Louis:
And you can teach me this?
Armand:
Yes.
Louis:
To be without regret?
Armand:
Yes.
Louis:
Then what a pair we could make...
[Armand chuckles]
Louis:
...but what if it's a lesson I don't care to learn?
Armand:
What do you mean?
Louis:
What if all I have is my suffering, my regret?
Armand:
Don't you want to lose it?
Louis:
So you can have that too? The heart that mourns her? Her, that you burnt to a cinder?
Armand:
Louis, I swear I didn'tâ
Louis:
Ah, but I know you did. I know. You, who regrets nothing. You, who feels nothing. And if that's all I have left to learn, I can do that on my own. [starts walking away]
Armand:
Louis.
Louis:
Yes?
Armand:
I will die.
Louis:
No, you are dead, and you want me to quicken you once more. And as much as your invitation might appeal to me, I must regretfully decline.
