The pretentious dialogue may be playing into the film�s gentrification subtext. There is an air of superiority generated from the vampires� education, artistic sensibility, taste, affluence � wads of cash are readily produced for services.

In an ironic sense, these immortals are always the �new� people, haughty types that price you out of your neighborhood. Jarmusch turns the genre on its head for an audience who think they�re too cool for it, yet, these �cool� vampires become representative of the qualities we dislike.
