Scenes with Lucy Seward

6 scenes
Dr. Jack Seward

Count, some wine? You haven't...

No thank you, Doctor. I never drink wine.

Lucy Seward

Before you arrived, we were looking at the ship's log.

It wasn't lost at sea?

Lucy Seward

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".

Lucy Seward

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!

Lucy Seward

Oh, I love to be frightened!

Do you?

Dr. Jack Seward
[sending a message to Van Helsing over the phone]

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.

Lucy Seward

Poor Mina.

Jonathan Harker

Do you think it was her heart?

Lucy Seward

Or that pain in her head last light?

Dr. Jack Seward

I don't know. It's been so long since I've practiced real medicine.

Jonathan Harker

Well, what do you think killed her?

Dr. Jack Seward

Killed her? That's an odd word. Yet, there was no sign of disease.

Jonathan Harker

What about those marks on her neck?

Dr. Jack Seward

Marks on her neck? Perhaps she injured herself from fastening her shawl.

Lucy Seward

Oh, father, don't be absurd! You saw those wounds!

Jonathan Harker tells me you speak some Romanian.

Lucy Seward

Well, hardly, I know...

Ar fi frumos să te văd zâmbet.

[Lucy smiles]

There, you do understand.

Lucy Seward
[still smiling]

Not really. I have no idea what you said.

I said it would be nice to see you smile.

Lucy Seward
[pause]

Then you should be pleased.

Oh, I am. But I must warn you to take care.

Lucy Seward

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.

[hears wolves howling]

Listen to them, the children of the night. What sad music they make.

Lucy Seward

Do you think it's sad?

So lonely, like weeping.

Lucy Seward

I think it's a wonderful sound. I really love the night. It's so simple.

So deceptive.

Lucy Seward

So exciting.

You take the dawn for granted. The warm hot sunlight. Ah, but the night...

Lucy Seward

was made to enjoy.

Yes. Yes, it was. It was made to enjoy life... and love.

Lucy Seward
[talking about Dracula]

He's no danger to me.

Jonathan Harker

He's a monster, a vampire!

Lucy Seward

You fools, all of you!

Prof. Abraham Van Helsing

She means to warm him.

Lucy Seward

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!

Lucy Seward

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!

Lucy Seward

I despise you, all of you. Get out of my way!

Lucy, come! Come to me!

[Lucy runs into Dracula's arms, and he embraces her]

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.

Lucy Seward

And then?

Then you will join me on a higher plane feeding on them. We will create more of our kind, Lucy.
