A scene from Dracula 1979
Dr. Jack Seward

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

Count Dracula

No thank you, Doctor. I never drink wine.

Lucy Seward

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

Count Dracula

It wasn't lost at sea?

Lucy Seward

No. The very last entry was a strange word, a word that Mina thought meant "undead".

Count Dracula

Undead?

Mina Van Helsing

Yes. "Nosferatu".

Count Dracula

Ah, it means "not dead".

Lucy Seward

Then you were right.

Count Dracula

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!

Count Dracula

Do you?
