** Overhearing the Red Dragon's Hostess's ordinary and boring conversations as a Malkavian usually results in them being replaced by a stream of BlahBlahBlah, but there are exceptions:
--->'''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlx1nUvEHSs&t=3m20s Hostess]]:''' Hey, Andrea! Uh-huh? What? The Dark Father returns? No, he's not! No, he's not! No, he is ''not''! Hold on, Andrea, I've got another call. Hey, Serena, did you hear about-? Yeah, he is! Yes, he is! Yes, he totally is! I know! I was just on the phone with Andrea, and I was all "No, he's not!" Yes, he is!
*** There's another conversation in which she shows a huge LackOfEmpathy to a coworker who needs some time off for a funeral, but playing as a Malkavian shows that she's well aware of it and is a petty bitch BeneathTheMask:
--->'''Hostess:''' ''(normal version)'' Yeah? Oh, hi, Milla, what do you want? ...I'm sorry, I've got plans, I can't cover your shift tomorrow. So, what's the emergency? Well... it's not like it was sudden, I mean, he's been on life support for a long time. Funerals are usually over by five, okay? When did you ever cover my shift? But that WAS an emergency, Milla! It was a REALLY bad haircut, okay? ...Fine, I'll do it. Goodbye.
--->'''Hostess:''' ''(Malkavian version)'' Yeah? Oh, hi, Milla, I hate you. I hate you for so many reasons, I don't even know where to begin. I have no sympathy towards your tragedy at all, mostly because, well, you're smarter and more attractive than me, okay? Oh, and you're a kiss-ass. So what if you helped me out, I've been wishing you'd get hit by a car for weeks. Fine, I'll do it. Goodbye.



* An ordinary and boring conversation gets a very unusual (and significant) twist while playing as a Malkavian -
-->'''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlx1nUvEHSs&t=3m20s Hostess]]:''' Hey, Andrea! Uh-huh? What? The Dark Father returns? No, he's not! No, he's not! No, he is ''not''!

Yes, he is!

** Players who have already finished the game will enjoy the Malkavian speaking to Rosa, the Malkavian thin-blood, as they give away plot points freely. When Rosa frets about what will happen when the sarcophagus is opened, the Malk will get excited and say, "Yes! The night sky will shine bright!" It's doubly funny if the Malk sides with Lacroix, proving that just because the Malk can see the future, ''he's too crazy to pay attention to its warnings''.
