Quote #7
"'Live with us and such disguise is unnecessary. We have our guards. And tell me, where do you come from?'" (3.210)
Santiago appeals to Claudia and Louis, saying that he can offer them safety, but he really just wants information to confirm his suspicions: that they killed their maker. If he can prove it, he can kill them.
Quote #8
"'Louis, you must never return to him. I tell you, I'm in danger!'" (3.248)
Louis thinks that Claudia is manipulating him here. He's used to her doing that. The sad truth is that she actually is in danger from Armand and his association with the Théâtre des Vampires. Louis doesn't realize it until it's too late. It's impossible to determine what the truth is when people are lying and manipulating each other all the time.
Quote #9
"'You must never force me to do something against my will! You must never exert such power...'" (3.459)
Louis gives Armand an ultimatum, even though he never gets to the "or else..." part. It's just part of a pseudo-psychotic vampire's nature to manipulate people, we guess. Oh, wait, we forgot: people do it, too.
