I thought you could use one more.
Why always on this night?
What do you mean?
You always give me a doll on the same night of the year.
Oh? I didn't realize.
Is this my birthday? You dress me like a doll. You make my hair like a doll. Why?
Lestat (trying to change the subject): Some of these, Claudia, are so old ... tattered. You should throw them away.
I will, then!
[Claudia begins removing the dolls from her bed, revealing the naked corpse of a woman lying underneath.]
Claudia? Claudia? Claudia! What have you done?
What you told me to do!
Leave a corpse here to rot?
I wanted her! I wanted to be her!
Claudia.
Pollutes the very house we live in!
Do you want me to be a doll forever?!
Why not? Can't I change, like everybody else?!
[Proceeds to cut off her hair then runs into her bedroom. Seconds later Claudia's screams are heard from within her room. Louis busts in to find Claudia in front of the mirror with a full head of curls]
Which one of you did it?! [pushes past Louis and confronts Lestat] Which one of you made me the way I am?!
What you are? A vampire gone insane, that pollutes its own bed?
And if I cut my hair again!
It will grow back again.
But it wasn't always so. I had a mother once. And Louis, he had a wife. He was mortal, the same was she. And so was I!
Claudia!
You made us what we are! Didn't you?
Stop her, Louis!
Did you do it to me?
[Claudia cuts Lestat's cheeks with the scissors. Lestat looks at Claudia stunned]
How did you do it?
And why should I tell you? It's in my power.
Why yours alone? Tell me how it was done!
Be glad I made you what you are.
[Lestat jumps out of the chair he had been sitting in and grabs Claudia by the throat]
You'd be dead now if I hadn't. Liked that damned corpse. Now get rid of it!
You get rid of it!
[She drops the scissors, then storms out]
