Most scenes together: Count Dracula & Lucy Seward (4)
Listen to them, the children of the night. What sad music they make.
Do you think it's sad?
So lonely, like weeping.
I think it's a wonderful sound. I really love the night. It's so simple.
So deceptive.
So exciting.
You take the dawn for granted. The warm hot sunlight. Ah, but the night...
was made to enjoy.
Yes. Yes, it was. It was made to enjoy life... and love.
Jonathan Harker tells me you speak some Romanian.
Well, hardly, I know...
Ar fi frumos să te văd zâmbet.
I said it would be nice to see you smile.
Oh, I am. But I must warn you to take care.
Whatever for?
If, at any time, my company does not please you, you will have only yourself to blame for an acquaintance who seldom forces himself but is difficult to be rid of.
Lucy, come! Come to me!
Now, you must go on a bit longer as of a creature of this earth. Only until we have left behind those who would destroy us.
And then?
Then you will join me on a higher plane feeding on them. We will create more of our kind, Lucy.
You are a wise man, Professor, for someone who has not yet lived a single lifetime.
Prof. Abraham Van Helsing You flatter me, Count.
But not wise enough to return to Holland at once, now that you have learned what you have learned.
Prof. Abraham Van Helsing I prefer to remain.
In the past 500 years, Professor, those who have crossed my path have all died, and some not pleasantly. Come here! [raises his hand to hypnotize Van Helsing]
Your will is strong. Then I must come to you.
Sacrilege! Sacrilege! [snarls and turns into a wolf to escape]
Mina has died. No, not lied... died! Telegraph or come at once. Your dear friend on this saddest of occasions, Jack Seward. [hangs up the phone] Yes, I do hope the professor gets it. That poor, poor man.
Poor Mina.
Jonathan Harker Do you think it was her heart?
Or that pain in her head last light?
I don't know. It's been so long since I've practiced real medicine.
Jonathan Harker Well, what do you think killed her?
Killed her? That's an odd word. Yet, there was no sign of disease.
Jonathan Harker What about those marks on her neck?
Marks on her neck? Perhaps she injured herself from fastening her shawl.
Oh, father, don't be absurd! You saw those wounds!
Count, some wine? You haven't...
No thank you, Doctor. I never drink wine.
Before you arrived, we were looking at the ship's log.
It wasn't lost at sea?
No. The very last entry was a strange word, a word that Mina thought meant "undead".
Undead?
Mina Van Helsing Yes. "Nosferatu".
Ah, it means "not dead".
Then you were right.
No, with your permission and all due respect to Miss Van Helsing. Yes, I'm quite finished, thank you. There is a distinction, the words "not dead" carry the simple meaning.
Mina Van Helsing Dead... undead... I don't care! They all frighten me!
Oh, I love to be frightened!
Do you?
Jonathan Harker He's a monster, a vampire!
You fools, all of you!
Prof. Abraham Van Helsing She means to warm him.
Jonathan, if you try to stop me, I shall kill myself.
Abraham Van Helsing I charge you on your living soul, Lucy Seward, that you do not die or think of death until this great evil which has fouled your life is true dead himself!
You dare try to confuse me! Tormenting him who is the saddest, the kindest of all!
Prof. Abraham Van Helsing Kind? If I could send his soul to everlasting, burning hell, I would!
I despise you, all of you. Get out of my way!
Milo Renfield I'm a slave, I'm a dog, master. But please don't kill me. For the love of God let me live.
Did I not promise you that you should come to me at you death, and enjoy centuries of life and power over the bodies and souls of others?
Milo Renfield But I don't want human life.
You betrayed me. You sought to warn them all against me.
Milo Renfield Then punish me, torture me, I deserve it. But please don't kill me.
Oh, Renfield, you disappoint me so. [breaks Renfield's neck]
Now it is you, my best beloved one. You will be flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood. You shall cross land or sea to do my bidding. I need your blood. I need...
You fools! Do you think with your crosses and your wafers you can destroy me? Me! You do not know how many men have come against me. I am the king of my kind! You have accomplished nothing, Van Helsing. Time is on my side. In a century, when you are dust, I shall wake and call Lucy, my queen from her grave.
