Bernard Behrens: Gustav Helsing

Quotes 

• Gustav Helsing : So much for your boasts about the inevitable triumph of evil. This is certainly some triumph, alright. Look at you now.

  Alexander Lucard : Locked up with an annoying and nattering old man. It is embarrassing, I admit it.

  Gustav Helsing : Always so proud, so sure of yourself.

  Alexander Lucard : I should think you would be, too, if you were me. I have lived in so many ages, seen so many things and survived them all, including quite a few members of your clan.

  [looks at emerald cross] 

  Alexander Lucard : I used to drink with Shakespeare, you know.

  [chuckles] 

  Alexander Lucard : He told a good joke. He appreciated beautiful women. In fact, he was such a fine fellow, I never bit him. I've always thought he got some ideas from me, actually.

  Gustav Helsing : From Richard III, I assume?

  Alexander Lucard : I hope not. Richard is a... a rather mean sort of character, don't you think? A miscalculator.

  Gustav Helsing : If you're in any play, it's Titus Andronicus .

  Alexander Lucard : Well, that one does have a wonderful death speech. 'If one good deed in all my life I did, I do repent it from my very soul.' No, Helsing, and that one does ring true.

  Gustav Helsing : And, in the end, all that your evil accomplished was to bring you here,

  Alexander Lucard : Your straight and narrow path has brought you to exactly the same end as my evil one. After all, what are good and evil? Two sides of a coin. Energy and matter, time and space, it's all the same in the end.

  Gustav Helsing : Nonsense! You offer only darkness to the world. I pursue hope, belief...

  Alexander Lucard : [chuckles]  Belief? Please! This is not a century for belief. That's what makes things so easy for me. No one believes I could exist.
