Count Dracula

(in a letter to Jonathan Harker) My friend. Welcome to the Carpathians. I am anxiously expecting you. At the Borgo Pass, my carriage will await you and bring you to me. I trust your journey from London has been a happy one, and that you will enjoy your stay in my beautiful land. Your friend, D.

Do you believe in destiny? That even the powers of time can be altered for a single purpose? That the luckiest man who walks on this earth is the one who finds... true love?

(noticing the crucifix Jonathan Harker wears) Do not put your faith in such trinkets of deceit! We are in Transylvania, and Transylvania is not England. Our ways are not your ways. And, to you, there shall be many strange things...

Absinthe is the aphrodisiac of the self. The green fairy who lives in the absinthe wants your soul. But you are safe with me.

(about to complete Lucy's transformation into a vampire) Your impotent men with their foolish spells cannot protect you from my power. I condemn you to living death. To eternal hunger for living blood!

There is no life in this body. I am nothing, lifeless, soulless, hated and feared. I am dead to all the world - hear me! I am the monster that breathing men would kill. I am Dracula.
Abraham Van Helsing

(heard as Dracula emerges from a box of earth in his younger form) Contrary to some beliefs, the vampire, like any other night creature,
can move about by day - though it is not his natural time, and his powers are weak.

(giving a medical lecture) The vampire bat must consume 10 times its own weight in fresh blood each day, or its own blood cells will die. Cute little vermin,
ja? Blood, and the diseases of the blood such as syphilis, will concern us here. The very name "venereal diseases", the "diseases of Venus", imputes to them divine origin. They are involved in that sex problem about which the ethics and ideals of Christian civilization are concerned. In fact, civilization and syphilization have advanced together.

Gentlemen, we're not fighting some disease here. Those marks on your dear Miss Lucy's neck were made by something unspeakable out there - dead, but not dead. It stalks us for some dread purpose I do not yet comprehend. To live, it feeds on Lucy's precious blood. It is a beast, a monster!

(reading from a book about vampire history) "Here occurs the shocking and frightening history of the wild berserker, Prince Dracula, how he impaled people and roasted them, boiled their heads in a kettle, how he skinned them alive and hacked them to pieces and then... drank their blood."
Ja, Dracul... "The blood is the life"...

(about Lucy) She lives beyond the grace of God, a wanderer in the outer darkness. She is "vampyr", "nosferatu". These creatures do not die like the bee after the first sting, but instead grow strong and become immortal once infected by another nosferatu. So, my friends, we fight not one beast, but legions that go on age after age after age, feeding on the blood of the living.

Vampires do exist. And this one we fight, this one we face, has the strength of twenty or more people, and you can testify for that, Mr. Harker. But he can also control the meaner things of life: the bat, the rodent, the wolf. He can appear as mist, as vapour, as fog, and vanish at will. Now all these things Dracula can do, but he is not free. He must rest in the sacred earth of his homeland to gain his evil power. It is here that we must find him and destroy him utterly.

My dear Jonathan has been gone almost a week and, although I was disappointed we could not marry before his departure, I am happy that he got sent on this important assignment. I am longing to hear all the news. It must be so nice to see strange countries. I wonder if we, I mean Jonathan and I, shall ever see them together...

A land beyond a great vast forest, surrounded by majestic mountains and lush vineyards and flowers of such frailty and beauty as to be found no where else.

(watching Lucy flirt with many suitors at the party) Lucy is a pure and virtuous girl. But, I admit that her free way of speaking shocks me sometimes. Jonathan says it is a defect of the aristocracy that they say what they please. The truth is that I admire Lucy, and I'm not surprised that men flock around her. I wish I were as pretty and as adored as she.

(to Van Helsing, while under the influence of Dracula's brides) You've been so good to me, Professor. I know that Lucy harbored secret desires for you. She told me. I too know what men desire.
(kisses him) Will you cut off my head and drive a stake through my heart as you did poor Lucy, you murdering bastard?!

(as light illiminates the chapel) There, in the presence of God, I understood at last how my love could release us all from the powers of darkness. Our love is stronger than death.

(to Mina) Is your ambitious John Harker forcing you to learn that ridiculous machine? When he could be forcing you to perform unspeakable acts of desperate passion on the parlour floor!

Mina, you've got to go to him. You've got to love him, and marry him right then and there. And I want you to take this, my sister.
(gives Mina her ring) It's my wedding gift to you. Don't worry about spoiled little Lucy. I'll be all right. Tell Jonathan oceans of love.

Left Budapest early this morning. The impression I had was that we were leaving the west and entering the east. The district I am to enter is in the extreme east of the country, just on the borders of three states, Transylvania, Moldavia and Bukovina, in the midst of the Carpathian Mountains, one of the wildest and least known portions of Europe.

I think strange things which I dare not confess to my own soul. The Count, the way he looked at Mina's picture, fills me with dread - as if I have a part to play in a story that is not known to me.

I did as Dracula instructed. I wrote three letters - to the firm, to my family, and to my beloved Mina. I said nothing of my fears, as he will read them, no doubt. I know now that I am a prisoner.
Share this quote on facebook
The letters I have written have undoubtedly sealed my doom. The Count's gypsies, fearless warriors who are loyal to the death to whatever nobleman they serve - day and night they toil, filling boxes with decrepit earth from the bowels of the castle. They are to be delivered to his newly acquired Carfax Abbey in London. Why do they fill these boxes with earth?

Dawn. These may be the last words I write in this journal. Dracula has left me with these women, these devils of the pit. They drain my blood to keep me weak, barely alive so I cannot escape. I will try one last time today to escape to the water. There must be passageway to the river, and then away from this cursed land where the devil and his children still walk with earthly feet.
