Scenes with Van Helsing

5 scenes
Dr. Seward

Allow me to introduce Professor Abraham Van Helsing. He's a doctor of rare diseases as well as a man of theology and philosophy.

Van Helsing

And gynecology.

Dr. Seward

Oh, I didn't know you have your hand in that, too.

Dracula
[Count Dracula meets up with Van Helsing]

Van Helsing... a name that is famous even in Translyvania.

Van Helsing

Dracula... are you by any chance descended from Vlad Tepeş, the first Dracula?

Dr. Seward

Tepeş?

Van Helsing

Yes, it means "the Impaler". He used to inflict horrendous tortures on the peasants; he gouged out their eyes, cut off their heads and stuck their bodies on iron spikes.

Dracula

They had it coming!

Jonathan Harker
[Entering Lucy's crypt and seeing her body]

Oh, God... she's dead now.

Van Helsing

No, she's not!

Jonathan Harker

She's alive?

Van Helsing

She's Nosferatu!

Jonathan Harker

She's Italian?

Jonathan Harker
[having just been told to drive a stake into Lucy]

Oh, this is horrid. Is there no other way?

Van Helsing

Well, we could cut off her head, stuff her mouth with garlic, and tear off her ears.

Jonathan Harker

...Give me the stake. No. No, I can't... you do it.

Van Helsing

It must be done by one who loved her in life.

Jonathan Harker

I only liked her!

Van Helsing

Close enough!

Van Helsing
[Jonathan is about to stake Lucy's heart]

One, two—WAIT! [Van Helsing slinks back behind a pillar] NOW!

Jonathan Harker
[Jonathan drives a stake into Lucy's heart and is subsequently hit by many gallons of blood]

Oh... my... GOD! There's so much blood!

Van Helsing

She just ate! Hit her again!

Jonathan Harker

Oh no... I can't...

Van Helsing

How much blood can she have left?

Van Helsing
[Jonathan hits the stake again and is hit with even more blood than last time]

She's almost dead!

Jonathan Harker

She's dead enough. Oh! This is - this is ghastly!

Van Helsing

Yes, you're right. We should have put newspapers down!

Van Helsing
[Van Helsing telling Dr. Seward and Jonathan Harker of Lucy's prognosis]

What we are dealing with here is... a VAMPIRE!

Dr. Seward

Vampire?

Jonathan Harker

Vampire? What are you saying?

Van Helsing

I'm saying, vampire!

Dr. Seward

But professor, modern sciences don't admit to such a fanciful creature!

Van Helsing

Modern sciences pish posh! She has lost a great deal of blood, ja?

Jonathan Harker

Ja...

Van Helsing

Well look! [walks to Lucy's bedside] where did all the blood go? Look at the sheets, the pillowcase, her nightgown! Do you see anything? How does your modern science explain zhat? Can you explain zhat? Can you explain zhat?

Dr. Seward

I can't explain zhat.

Jonathan Harker

I can't explain zhat.

Van Helsing

NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN ZHAT!
