HORROR UPON HORROR in the HOUSE OF DRACULA (taglines)
Count Dracula
[edit]- The music will come to you again. My world is waiting for you. Forsake the cross so that you can join me there.
Lawrence Talbot
[edit]- Who are these people? Get them out of here. I didn't come here to be put on exhibition.
Dr. Franz Edelman
[edit]- Now, Mr. Talbot... You broke your promise to me, didn't you? Told the police. I don't like people who break their promises, Mr. Talbot.
- You wanted to die, but instead you will live 'cause God in his diving workings has led you to the very thing which makes help possible.
Dialogue
[edit]- Dr. Edelman: What are you doing here? Who are you?
- Count Dracula: I am Baron Latos. I have come to you for help.
- Dr. Edelman: It's five o'clock in the morning.
- Count Dracula: I must apologize for the intrusion. But travel is very difficult for me, and I've come a long way.
- Dr. Edelman: I don't understand.
- Count Dracula: Perhaps you will, after you've led me to the basement room of this castle.
- Dr. Edelman: Eh - a very strange request. This castle is my home!
- Count Dracula: Have no fear, doctor. Had conditions permitted, I would have presented myself in the usual manner.
- Dr. Edelman: Well, it is most unusual...
- Count Dracula: I will explain everything, before sunrise.
- Milizia Morelle: I've never heard this music before, yet I'm playing it.
- Count Dracula: You're creating it, for me.
- Milizia Morelle: It frightens me.
- Count Dracula: It's beautiful, it's the music of the world from which I come.
- Militza Morelle: It makes me see strange things, people who are dead, yet they're alive.
- Count Dracula: Mine is a world without material needs.
- Militza Morelle: But I'm afraid.
- Count Dracula: The fear will pass as the music becomes fixed in your mind. It will make you long to be there.
- Miliza Morelle: You like it?
- Count Dracula: It breaths the spirit of the night. They played it the evening we met at the concert.
- Miliza Morelle: I'd forgotten... until I saw you again.
- Count Dracula: Perhaps I wanted you to remember.
- Miliza Morelle: Your world is coming closer to me. But I'm afraid.
- Count Dracula: It is a world without fear. It is like the music. Beautiful. Beautiful.
- Lawrence Talbot: Why did you follow me down here?
- Dr. Edelman: To bring you back, my boy.
- Lawrence Talbot: Bring me back to a life of misery and despair?
- Lawrence Talbot: Dr. Edelman, this thing destroyed Frankenstein. It's brought death to all who have tried to follow in his footsteps.
- Dr. Edelman: Is that poor creature responsible for what he is?
- Dr. Edelman: I'll operate tomorrow, Nina.
- Nina: Then you must operate on Mr. Talbot. The moon will be full in a few days. We can't let him suffer again.
- Dr. Edelman: But you - You've waited such a long time.
- Nina: Then I can wait a little longer. It won't make any difference.
- Count Dracula: Dr. Edelman, do you believe in the immortality of the soul?
- Dr. Edelman: Naturally, being a religious man.
- Count Dracula: Of the body?
- Dr. Edelman: Medical science refutes such a thing.
- Count Dracula: Just as it denies the existence of vampirism.
- Count Dracula: Do you doubt the supernatural?
- Dr. Edelman: I find it difficult to believe that a human being can change himself into a bat, or that by feeding upon the blood of the living he can obtain eternal life. But what has this discussion to do with us, Baron Latos?
- Count Dracula: Perhaps a great deal, Doctor.
- Nina: Think what you're doing, Doctor. To bring him back again would unleash worse than murder upon humanity.
- Dr. Edelman: That helpless body is man's responsibility.
- Nina: Man's responsibility is to his fellow man.
- Dr. Edelman: Can man sit in judgment over life and death?
- Nina: The evil he creates, he can also destroy.
- Dr. Edelman: That would be murder.
