Quotes

Count Dracula : Welcome to my house, Mister Harker. Come freely. Go safely.
Jonathan Harker : Count Dracula?
Count Dracula : I am Count Dracula. Will you come in?... And, please, leave here some of the happiness that you bring.
-
Count Dracula : We must survive, all of us. The blood of a human for me, a cooked bird for you. Where is the difference?
Jonathan Harker : The difference between good and evil.
-
Count Dracula : I expect you are anxious to return to England.
Jonathan Harker : I should like to start back soon, it's true.
Count Dracula : Very well. Write a letter to your friends, saying that you have already left the Castle and arrived at Bistritz, where you are awaiting the weekly express.
Jonathan Harker : [suspiciously] May I ask with what object, sir?
Count Dracula : The posts are few, and uncertain. Writing now will ease the minds of Mister Hawkins and your fiancee.
Jonathan Harker : Count Dracula.
Count Dracula : Yes?
Jonathan Harker : I have been struck by a curious fact.
Count Dracula : Yes?
Jonathan Harker : I've not seen a single servant since I've been here. Yet my meals are served. My bed is made. Tell me, are we alone in the Castle?
Count Dracula : Alone? How could one be alone in this castle? In its most the past, the *living* past is present, surrounding us.
Jonathan Harker : That does *not* answer my question, sir. I've been here for three weeks and have not once stepped outside the Castle.
Count Dracula : I would gladly have shown you the countryside if you had expressed a wish to do so.
Jonathan Harker : When would we have gone? In the dead of night? I've never set eyes on you during the day.
Count Dracula : I have a large estate to manage.
Jonathan Harker : Nor have I seen you eat.
Count Dracula : I eat alone.
Jonathan Harker : [getting visibly upset] And who would have driven the coach?
Count Dracula : [maintains calm] My driver.
Jonathan Harker : You are lying, Count Dracula.
Count Dracula : You are losing your temper, Mister Harker.
Jonathan Harker : [calming down] Who took me back to my room last night?
Count Dracula : Back to your room? What do you mean?
Jonathan Harker : I slept by mistake in the library. I witnessed a... a nightmare, and woke up in my bed! How did I get there?
Count Dracula : Am I to be held responsible for a vivid imagination?
-
Jonathan Harker : You must know a great deal of the history of Transylvania.
Count Dracula : All there is to know, I'm afraid. Sometimes, I think, too much.
-
Jonathan Harker : [to other passengerson the coach] Excuse me. Do any of you speak English?
[looks around]
Jonathan Harker : Speak English.
Coach Passenger : I speak some... little.
Jonathan Harker : Well, when we left the inn, some of the men and women pointed at me; like this.
[demonstrates gesture]
Coach Passenger : Ah... yes.
Jonathan Harker : What does it signify?
[sees the man has failed to understand meaning of the word]
Jonathan Harker : What does it mean?
Coach Passenger : They say it is a charm against the evil eye.
Jonathan Harker : Why should I need the charm more than anyone, say yourself?
Coach Passenger : Where are you alighting?
Jonathan Harker : At the head of the Borgo Pass.
[as he says this, the man's wife crosses herself with a fearful look on her face]
Coach Passenger : It is very important we get there well before midnight and are across the border.
Jonathan Harker : Really? Why is that?
Coach Passenger : You do not know what day this is? It is the fourth of May. The Eve of Saint George. When the clock strikes midnight, all the evil things of the world shall take command.

Wilhelmina 'Mina' Westenra : I know you must fight. But it must not be a fight of hate. That poor soul whose brought about all this misery is the saddest one of all.
Jonathan Harker : Mina, how can you say such things? If I could send his soul to burning hell forever, I would do it.
Wilhelmina 'Mina' Westenra : Hush, Jonathan. You must be pitiful to him, just as some day you may have to be pitiful to me.
Wilhelmina 'Mina' Westenra : [pausing] Also, I believe the Count can, somehow, force me to tell him what I know, and be in league against you.
Jonathan Harker : I don't believe it.
Wilhelmina 'Mina' Westenra : No?
[tearfully, her small fangs showing]
Wilhelmina 'Mina' Westenra : Do you think that I don't look at myself in the mirror?
Jonathan Harker : Dearest, don't.
Abraham Van Helsing : Yes, yes, we must face facts, however unpleasant.
[to Dr. Seward]
Abraham Van Helsing : Tell me, how many boxes did you find at Burnhamtree?
Dr. John Seward : Eight.
Abraham Van Helsing : And at the Mile End?
Dr. John Seward : Four.
Abraham Van Helsing : And sanctified them all?
Dr. John Seward : Yes.
Abraham Van Helsing : One box left. Madam Mina, you are the wisest of us all. So tell us, where do you think the last box is?
Wilhelmina 'Mina' Westenra : There's only one place he'd feel *really* safe.
-
Abraham Van Helsing : My books tell me that he was an extraordinary man. A soldier, a cunning statesman - no branch of study was too difficult for him. And the power of his brain has survived his death.
[Says a prayer over the coffin as he drops the holy wafer in]
Abraham Van Helsing : But, he shall not escape. We shall corner him, and we shall drive the stake through his heart.
Jonathan Harker : Pray God that I may do the deed.
Abraham Van Helsing : God will act in His own way, and in His own time.
-
Count Dracula : I am bound to this earth, I make it my domain. You will die, in your miserable allotted span. I have centuries before me.
Jonathan Harker : Why in God's name did you ever leave your castle?
Count Dracula : We must recruit disciples - just as your leader has done.
Abraham Van Helsing : You shall not capture anymore souls.
Count Dracula : Souls?
[laughs scornfully]
Count Dracula : There is no blood to drink from souls - - if there be such things.
Abraham Van Helsing : We are pledged to rid the world of you.
Count Dracula : It will not be easy. I do not die like the bee when I string once - - I become stronger.

Wilhelmina 'Mina' Westenra : You'll write often?
Jonathan Harker : Every day, Mina, I promise.
Wilhelmina 'Mina' Westenra : And I promise to study my shorthand so that I shall be able to do your letters when we're married.
Lucy Westenra : Jonathan! Jonathan! Time for you to go.
Jonathan Harker : Yes, of course.
