Prof. Abraham Van Helsing: Kind? If I could send his soul to everlasting, burning hell I would!

You have accomplished nothing, Van Helsing. Time is on my side. In a century, when you are dust, I shall wake and call Lucy, my queen, from her grave. I have in my time had many brides, Mr. Harker. But I shall set Lucy above them all.

Count Dracula: She's mine already.

Prof. Abraham Van Helsing: You are a most unusual creature, Count Dracul.
Count Dracula: [smiling] Yes...
