Count Orlok

[edit]
  • [to young Ellen] You awakened me from an eternity of darkness. You... You... You are not for the living. You are not for humankind.
  • [to Thomas] You are late. The midnight hour is passed, and my attendants have all retired.
  • [to Thomas] I will be addressed as the honour of my blood commands it.
  • [to Knock] Silence, dog! Your entreaties grow insolent. You shall crave of me nothing.

Ellen Hutter

[edit]
  • Professor, my dreams grow darker. Does evil come from within us, or from beyond?
  • It was our wedding, yet not in chapel walls. The scent of the lilacs was strong in the rain... and when I reached the altar, you weren't there... Standing before me, all in black... was... Death. But I was so happy, so very happy. We exchanged vows, we embraced, and when we turned round, everyone was dead. Father... and... everyone. The stench of their bodies was horrible... it overwhelmed the lilacs... and... But I had never been so happy as that moment... as I held hands with Death.
  • Do you ever feel at times as if you're not a person? What I wish to say is that you're not truly present, nor alive, as if you're at the whim of another, like a dog. Someone or something had the power to breath life into you, to move you.

Professor Albin Eberhart von Franz

[edit]
  • I have seen things in this world that would make Isaac Newton crawl back into his mother's womb! We have not become so much enlightened as we have been blinded by the gaseous light of science. I have wrestled with the Devil as Jacob wrestled the Angel in Penuel, and I tell you, if we are to tame darkness, we must first face that it exists! Meine Herren, we are here encountering the undead plague carrier... the vampyr... Nosferatu.
  • In heathen times, you might have been a great priestess of Isis. Yet in this strange and modern world, your purpose is of greater worth. You are our salvation.
  • [as he, Hutter and Sievers burn the Hardings' bodies] "In the name of Jehovah, and by the power and dignity of these three names, Tetragrammaton, Anexhexeton, Primematum, cast thee, O thou disobedient spirit Nosferatu, into the Lake of Fire, there to remain until the Day of Doom and not to be remembered before the face of God who shall come to judge the quick and the dead and the world with fire."

Herr Knock

[edit]
  • And now, I have been entertaining dealings with a foreign count. Very old line of nobility, very old and... eccentric. He wishes to acquire a home here in our Wisborg, to retire here. He has one foot in the grave, so to speak. [laughs]
  • [regarding headless rats and a still-living pigeon] Lives... [picks up the pigeon and pets it] gifts, bestowed upon me by His Lordship. Look, this is a pretty one. His Lordship likes the pretty ones best...
  • He is coming... Twas he that invoked me! Twas I that was chosen to serve him! I know what he covets! [laughs madly] And he shall cast upon you curses, confusion, afflictions, rebukes, for you have forsaken me, and he shall reign over all of your empty corpses! Devourance... DEVOURANCE! [attacks Dr. Sievers]

  • Anna Harding: Ellen, what is this insufferable darkness?

Dialogue

[edit]
Herr Knock: A new husband requires new wages.
Thomas Hutter: You're too generous, sir.
Herr Knock: Allow me to extend my congratulations to your wife.
Thomas Hutter: Thank you, sir.
Herr Knock: She truly is beautiful. A... a nonpareil, almost a... sylph. [chuckles]
Thomas Hutter: [awkwardly] Yes, thank you, sir...
Thomas Hutter: I have-- My lord, I have questions about the, um... unfamiliar customs of the peasantry and the... errant wanderers. Last night, I saw... or rather, I believe I saw a band of gypsies, they... ventured to a small birch grove and--
Count Orlok: I fear we yet keep close many superstitions here that may seem backward to a young man of your high learning.
Thomas Hutter: These gypsies, they... exhumed a corpse.
Count Orlok: It is their filthy ritual.
Thomas Hutter: What manner of ritual?
Count Orlok: SPEAK NOT OF IT AGAIN!
Thomas Hutter: I have been enduring the most irregular dreams. I fear I have taken ill.
Count Orlok: It is a black omen to journey in poor health. You will remain and well rest yourself.
Thomas Hutter: I must object, my lord.
Count Orlok: You will obey this, my counsel.
Ellen Hutter: You. I have felt you... crawling like a serpent in my body.
Count Orlok: It is not me. It is your own nature.
Ellen Hutter: No. I love Thomas.
Count Orlok: Love is inferior to you. I told you, you are not of humankind.
Ellen Hutter: You are a villain to speak so.
Count Orlok: I am an appetite, nothing more. O'er centuries, a loathsome beast, I lay within the darkest pit. 'Til you did wake me, enchantress, and stir me from my grave. You are my affliction.
Ellen Hutter: I care nothing of your afflications!
Count Orlok: Yet, even now, we are fated. Your husband has signed his name covenanted you to my person for but a sack of gold.
Ellen Hutter: Lies!
Count Orlok: For gold did he absolve his nuptial bond.
Ellen Hutter: You know nothing of him-
Count Orlok: And the resignation must be completed by you, freely of thine own will.
Ellen Hutter: You are a deceiver!
Count Orlok: You deceive yourself.
Ellen Hutter: I was but an innocent child-
Count Orlok: And thought you I would not return? Thought you I would not? Your passion is bound to me.
Ellen Hutter: You cannot love.
Count Orlok: I cannot. Yet, I cannot be sated without you.
[Ellen draws closer, seemingly drawn in by Orlok's very presence]
Count Orlok: Remember how once we were? A moment. Remember?
[A moment of silence between them both]
Ellen Hutter: I... abhor you.
Count Orlok: Then you are FALSE!
[He angrily throws Ellen to the floor]
Count Orlok: So you wish me to prove my enmity as well?! I will leave you three nights! Tonight was the first! Tonight you denied yourself, and thereby you suffer me to vanish up the lives of those you love!
Ellen Hutter: Denied myself?! You revel in my torture!
Count Orlok: Upon the third night you will submit, or he you call your husband shall perish by my hand.
Ellen Hutter: No...
Count Orlok: ‘Til you bid me come, shall you watch the world become as naught.
Ellen Hutter: NO!
[Orlok roars at Ellen, who suddenly wakes]
Anna Harding: Our friendship is a precious balm to my heart. Forgive my chiding you.
Ellen Hutter: Thank you for loving me.
