Dialogue

Harry: How are ya, doctor?

Prof. Harry Brewster: Hi, Harry.

Frank Stanley: Hey, Charlie!

Charlie, station agent: Hello Dr. Brewster, Mr. Stanley.

Frank Stanley: How are ya. Say, uh, those all the passengers you have?

Charlie, station agent: Just the four.

Prof. Harry Brewster: You didn't put anyone off at the wrong station, did you? We're here to meet a friend of the Caldwells, a Count Alucard.

Charlie, station agent: There was no Count on this train. All customers. Say - there was a lot of stuff in the baggage car that might belong to your Count.

Prof. Harry Brewster: Thanks, we'll take a look at it.

Train Conductor Voice: All aboard.

Frank Stanley: [looking at a pushcart piled with trunks and cases] Well, does this look as though he's come to stay for just a couple of weeks?

Prof. Harry Brewster: No, it doesn't. I wonder what's become of him?

Frank Stanley: Probably coming by car. Don't worry, he'll show up.

Prof. Harry Brewster: [the Doctor moves close to the luggage, studies the name on a crest on a box which has been stacked sideways] D - R - A - C...

Frank Stanley: What are you mumbling about?

Prof. Harry Brewster: Nothing, nothing. Just a silly idea hit me. Well, if there's no Alucard, there's no need of our staying around here. I've got to get back to the office.

Sheriff Dawes: You mean, that's all that's left of Count Alucard?

Prof. Laszlo: Look at the ring on his hand. It bears the Alucard seal, just as on his luggage.

Sheriff Dawes: Well assuming it is Alucard, or Dracula, or whoever he calls himself - where is Frank Stanley? He's still wanted for murder.

Prof. Harry Brewster: You still think that Frank killed Kay deliberately?

Sheriff Dawes: Look, Doctor, I'm only the Sheriff. I'm not the Judge. It's my job to bring him in, and the court's to decide his guilt.

Prof. Laszlo: Of course. But I think our testimony will have some bearing on their decision.

Prof. Harry Brewster: Undoubtedly. But the main thing to do now is to find Frank - and I think I know where he is.
