Count Dracula
[edit]- [to Van Helsing, as D.D. Denham] You are an interfering man, Professor. Do not meddle, or you will have to deal with me.
- [to Van Helsing] In the days to come, you will pray for death... release...
- [to Van Helsing] My revenge has spread over centuries and has just begun!
- At this, the Sabbath of the Undead, I call upon you to witness my supreme triumph.
- I have chosen four messengers of death, four horsemen of my created apocalypse, four carriers of the plague who will infect their miserable brethren. You, Van Helsing, are now one of the four. The body of your granddaughter will never be corrupted. It will be her joy to walk at my side.
Prof. Lorrimer Van Helsing
[edit]- [to D.D. Denham, to hide that he is onto something] What are you going to do with me? You can't let me go, can you? I know too much. Do you mind if I smoke? It's a bad habit, I know, but it helps me to concentrate.
- He'd want to bring down the whole universe with him. The ultimate revenge. Thousands dying of the plague, and like the shadow of death itself, one figure scything its way through the terror and anguish - Count Dracula. It's the biblical prophecy of Armageddon.
Dialogue
[edit]- Keeley: Evil rules, y'know - it really does! .. Nothing is too vile; nothing is too dreadful - too awful; you need to know the terror, the horror, Lorrimer; to feel the threat of disgust - the beauty of obscenity!
- Van Helsing: Julian! In God's name!
- Jessica: Look you heard what my grandfather said. I know his work. I could spot something that you might overlook.
- Inspector Murray: I'm sorry Jessica, it's just out of the question.
- Torrence: We're not playing games.
- Inspector Murray: Actually, there is a way you can be of use to us Jessica.
- Jessica: How?
- Inspector Murray: By waiting here.
