Count Dracula: You are a wise man, Professor, for someone who has not lived even a single lifetime.

Prof. Abraham Van Helsing: You flatter me, Count.

Count Dracula: 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.

Milo Renfield: Please master. Hurt me, torture me, I deserve it. But please... don't kill me.

Count Dracula: Ah, Renfield... you disappoint me so.

[talking about Dracula]

Lucy Seward: You dare try to confuse me! Tormenting him who is the saddest, the kindest of all!"

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

Dr. Jack Seward: Mina has died... No not *lied*! *Died*!

Count Dracula: Jonathan Harker tells me you speak some Romanian.

Lucy Seward: Well, hardly, I know...

[Dracula says a sentence in Romanian and Lucy smiles]

Count Dracula: There, you do understand.

Lucy Seward: [still smiling] Not really. I have no idea what you said.

Count Dracula: I said it would be nice to see you smile.

Lucy Seward: [pause] Then you should be pleased.

Count Dracula: Oh, I am.

Dr. Jack Seward: Count, some wine?

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".

[Dracula, Lucy,and Mina are discussing "Nosferatu"]

Mina Van Helsing: Dead! Undead! I don't care, they all frighten me!

Lucy Seward: Oh, I love to be frightened!

Count Dracula: [glances at her, then, after a pause] *Do* you?

Count Dracula: Lucy, come! Come to me!

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

Count Dracula: No, you must go on a bit longer as a creature of the sun. Only until we have left behind those who would destroy us.

Lucy Seward: And then?

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

Prof. Abraham Van Helsing: [looking at himself in a mirror] Ach, the devil.

Count Dracula: I'm not as bad as that.

Count Dracula: 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. I have in my time had many brides, Mr. Harker. But I shall set Lucy above them all.

Jonathan Harker: You won't get Lucy!

Count Dracula: She's mine already.

Milo Renfield: I've been bitten by a bat.

Count Dracula: [sarcastically] Yes, I see.

Jonathan Harker: COUNT DRACULA!

Count Dracula: You needn't shout, Mr. Harker. You frightened me.

Jonathan Harker: I'm sorry. I had a key.

[holds key up]

Jonathan Harker: I had to let myself in.

Count Dracula: I wonder where Renfield can be.

Jonathan Harker: I don't know. I knocked but he didn't...

Count Dracula: [interrupts] Yes, well, the man is worthless.

Prof. Abraham Van Helsing: [Dracula has crept in on Van Helsing] I did not hear you come in, Count.

Count Dracula: I am often told I have a light footstep.

Prof. Abraham Van Helsing: I was looking in the mirror. It reflects the whole room, and yet I cannot see...

Count Dracula: [suddenly picks up a lamp and hurls it at the mirror in which he shows no reflection, making Van Helsing duck for cover. Pause] Forgive me, Doctor. I dislike mirrors, they are the playthings of man's vanity.

Prof. Abraham Van Helsing: You are a most unusual creature, Count Dracul.

Count Dracula: [smiling] Yes...
