- Count Dracula: This is very old wine. I hope you will like it.
- Renfield: Aren't you drinking?
- Count Dracula: I never drink... wine.
- Count Dracula: I am Dracula.
- Renfield: Oh, it's really good to see you. I don't know what happened to the driver and my luggage and... Well, and with all this, I thought I was in the wrong place.
- Count Dracula: I bid you welcome.
- [Dracula goes up the stairs. Renfield starts to follow him. Suddenly, Dracula hears wolves howling]
- Count Dracula: Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make.
- [Dracula goes up the steps and waits for Renfield, who, without difficulty, cuts open a hole in a huge spider's web using his walking stick]
- Count Dracula: The spider spinning his web for the unwary fly. The blood is the life, Mr. Renfield.
- Renfield: Why, er... yes.
- Count Dracula: To die, to be *really* dead, that must be glorious!
- Mina Seward: Why, Count Dracula!
- Count Dracula: There are far worse things awaiting man than death.
- Doctor Seward: But, Professor Van Helsing, modern medical science does not admit of such a creature! The vampire is a pure myth, superstition.
- Van Helsing: I may be able to bring you proof that the superstition of yesterday can become the scientific reality of today.
- Van Helsing: [Holding a box] A moment ago, I stumbled upon a most amazing phenomena. Something so incredible, I mistrust my own judgement. Look.
- [Van Helsing opens the box to reveal a mirror. Dracula smacks it out of his hand]
- Count Dracula: Doctor Seward. My humble apology. I dislike mirrors.
- Count Dracula: [hearing wolves howling in the distance] Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make.
- Innkeeper: Castle Dracula?
- Renfield: Yes. That's where I'm going.
- Innkeeper: To the castle?
- Renfield: Yes.
- Innkeeper: No. You musn't go there. We people of the mountains believe in the castle there are vampires. Dracula and his wives - they take the form of wolves and bats. They leave their coffins at night and they feed on the blood of the living.
- Van Helsing: You'll die in torment if you die with innocent blood on your soul.
- Renfield: God will not damn a poor lunatic's soul. He knows that the powers of evil are too great for those with weak minds.
- Renfield: He came and stood below my window in the moonlight. And he promised me things, not in words, but by doing them.
- Van Helsing: Doing them?
- Renfield: By making them happen. A red mist spread over the lawn, coming on like a flame of fire! And then he parted it, and I could see that there were thousands of rats, with their eyes blazing red, like his, only smaller. Then he held up his hand, and they all stopped, and I thought he seemed to be saying: "Rats! Rats! Rats! Thousands! Millions of them! All red blood! All these will I give you! If you will obey me!"
- Van Helsing: What did he want you to do?
- Renfield: That which has already been done!
- [giggles sinisterly]
- Renfield: Rats. Rats. Rats! Thousands! Millions of them! All red blood! All these will I give you if you will obey me.
- Count Dracula: The spider spinning his web for the unwary fly... The blood is the life, Mr. Renfield.
- Van Helsing: Mr. Harker, I have devoted my lifetime to the study of many strange things. Little-known facts which the world is, perhaps, better off for not knowing.
- John Harker: I know. But Professor, all I want is to get Mina away from all of this.
- Van Helsing: That will do no good. Our only chance of saving Miss Mina's life is to find the hiding place of Dracula's living corpse and to drive a stake through its heart.
- Renfield: Isn't this a strange conversation for men who aren't crazy?
- Count Dracula: Van Helsing.
- [Van Helsing turns to face Count Dracula]
- Count Dracula: Now that you have learned what you have learned, it would be well for you to return to your own country.
- Van Helsing: I prefer to remain and protect those whom you would destroy.
- Count Dracula: You are too late. My blood now flows through her veins. She will live through the centuries to come, as I have lived.
- Van Helsing: Should you escape us, Dracula. We know how to save Miss Mina's soul if not her life.
- Count Dracula: If she dies by day. But I shall see that she dies by night.
- Van Helsing: And I will have Carfax Abbey torn down, stone by stone, excavated a mile around. I will find your earth-box and drive that stake through your heart.
- Count Dracula: Come here.
- [Dracula raises his hand to hypnotise Van Helsing]
- Count Dracula: Come here.
- [Van Helsing takes three hypnotised steps towards Dracula but soon steps back, resisting Dracula's hypnotic power over him]
- Count Dracula: Your will is strong, Van Helsing.
- [Van Helsing reaches out for his crucifix as Dracula looms toward him]
- Count Dracula: More wolfbane?
- Van Helsing: More effective than wolfbane, Count.
- Count Dracula: Indeed.
- [Dracula lunges towards Van Helsing. Van Helsing holds up the crucifix. Dracula snarls and turns away. Van Helsing, in triumph, puts away the crucifix]
- Renfield: No, no, master. I wasn't going to say anything, I told them nothing. I am loyal to you master.
- Van Helsing: [examining Mina's neck] How long have you had those little marks?
- John Harker: Marks? Mina, why didn't you let us know?
- Van Helsing: Please! Do not excite her. When, Miss Mina?
- Mina Seward: Since the morning after the dream.
- John Harker: What could have caused them, Professor?
- Maid: [entering room to announce Dracula's arrival] Count Dracula!
- [first lines]
- Young Girl Passenger: [reading from a Transylvanian tourist brochure] "Among the rugged peaks that frown down upon the Borgo Pass are found crumbling castles of a bygone age."
- Renfield: I'm loyal to you, Master, I am your slave, I didn't betray you! Oh, no, don't! Don't kill me! Let me live, please! Punish me, torture me, but let me live! I can't die with all those lives on my conscience! All that blood on my hands!
- [Dracula picks up Renfield with his bony hands and in a few seconds, Renfield dies]
- Martin: [Referring to Renfield] He thinks they're wolves. Me, I've heard them howl at night before. He thinks they're talking to him! He howls and howls back at them. He's CRAZY!
- Van Helsing: Gentlemen, we are dealing with the undead.
- Scholar: Nosferatu
- Van Helsing: Yes, Nosferatu.
- Lucy Weston: [doing an impression of Dracula] It reminds me of the broken battlements of my own castle in Transylvania.
- [chuckles]
- Mina Seward: Oh, Lucy, you're so romantic!
- Lucy Weston: Laugh all you like. I think he's fascinating.
- Mina Seward: Oh, I suppose he's all right. But give me someone a little more normal.
- Lucy Weston: Like John?
- Mina Seward: Yes, dear, like John.
- Lucy Weston: [dreamily] Castle... Dracula... Transylvania!
- Mina Seward: Well, Countess! I'll leave you to your count and his ruined abbey!
- [both giggle]
- Mina Seward: Good night, Lucy.
- Lucy Weston: Good night, dear.
- Van Helsing: What have you to do with Dracula?
- Renfield: DRACULA?... I never even heard the name before
- Doctor Seward: Phew! What on earth caused that?
- John Harker: Did you see the look on his face? Like a wild animal!
- Doctor Seward: Wild animal. Like a madman.
- Mina Seward: ...I heard dogs howling. And when the dream came, it seemed the whole room was filled with mist. It was so thick, I could just see the lamp by the bed, a tiny spark in the fog. And then I saw two red eyes glaring at me. And a white livid face came down out of the mist. It came closer and closer. I felt its breath on my face and then its lips... oh!
- Lucy Weston: Lofty timbers, the walls around are bare, echoing to our laughter as though the dead were there... Quaff a cup to the dead already, hurrah for the next to die!
