Count Dracula
- Count Dracula: This is very old wine. I hope you will like it.
- Renfield: Aren't you drinking?
- Count Dracula: I never drink... wine.
- Count Dracula: I am Dracula.
- Renfield: Oh, it's really good to see you. I don't know what happened to the driver and my luggage and... Well, and with all this, I thought I was in the wrong place.
- Count Dracula: I bid you welcome.
- [Dracula goes up the stairs. Renfield starts to follow him. Suddenly, Dracula hears wolves howling]
- Count Dracula: Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make.
- [Dracula goes up the steps and waits for Renfield, who, without difficulty, cuts open a hole in a huge spider's web using his walking stick]
- Count Dracula: The spider spinning his web for the unwary fly. The blood is the life, Mr. Renfield.
- Renfield: Why, er... yes.
- Count Dracula: To die, to be *really* dead, that must be glorious!
- Mina Seward: Why, Count Dracula!
- Count Dracula: There are far worse things awaiting man than death.
- Van Helsing: [Holding a box] A moment ago, I stumbled upon a most amazing phenomena. Something so incredible, I mistrust my own judgement. Look.
- [Van Helsing opens the box to reveal a mirror. Dracula smacks it out of his hand]
- Count Dracula: Doctor Seward. My humble apology. I dislike mirrors.
- Count Dracula: [hearing wolves howling in the distance] Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make.
- Count Dracula: The spider spinning his web for the unwary fly... The blood is the life, Mr. Renfield.
- Count Dracula: Van Helsing.
- [Van Helsing turns to face Count Dracula]
- Count Dracula: Now that you have learned what you have learned, it would be well for you to return to your own country.
- Van Helsing: I prefer to remain and protect those whom you would destroy.
- Count Dracula: You are too late. My blood now flows through her veins. She will live through the centuries to come, as I have lived.
- Van Helsing: Should you escape us, Dracula. We know how to save Miss Mina's soul if not her life.
- Count Dracula: If she dies by day. But I shall see that she dies by night.
- Van Helsing: And I will have Carfax Abbey torn down, stone by stone, excavated a mile around. I will find your earth-box and drive that stake through your heart.
- Count Dracula: Come here.
- [Dracula raises his hand to hypnotise Van Helsing]
- Count Dracula: Come here.
- [Van Helsing takes three hypnotised steps towards Dracula but soon steps back, resisting Dracula's hypnotic power over him]
- Count Dracula: Your will is strong, Van Helsing.
- [Van Helsing reaches out for his crucifix as Dracula looms toward him]
- Count Dracula: More wolfbane?
- Van Helsing: More effective than wolfbane, Count.
- Count Dracula: Indeed.
- [Dracula lunges towards Van Helsing. Van Helsing holds up the crucifix. Dracula snarls and turns away. Van Helsing, in triumph, puts away the crucifix]
