Countess Dracula Page #3

Indeed.

You know, one thing puzzles me.

I always thought she resembled her father.

Now she's the image of her mother.

Or don't you share my feelings?

I think you grow old, Master Fabio,

and your memory's confused.

Then let that pass.

One never quarrels with a nurse.

Unless one wants a box on the ears.

Come on. Quietly.

Quietly.

It's impossible...

My darling.

I thought the day would never end.

Say you love me.

- Say it.

- Yes.

Yes, I love you.

Julie!

Countess?

Please don't let him see me like this.

Send him away, Julie!

Roll up, everybody! All the fun of the circus

in the marketplace tonight.

See the animals - lions, monkeys, camels.

The Indian fakir walking on nails.

The fattest woman in the world.

Join the gypsies dancing.

Roll up! All the fun of the circus

in the marketplace tonight!

Music.

Don't you want to see me young again?

So that you can make love

to young officers?

I'd rather have you as you are

than see you parading

like some jaded slut from the whorehouse.

- At least there's dignity in age.

- You are cruel.

- You have never loved me.

- Oh, yes, I've loved you.

But can't you see what'll happen?

You'll go insane.

Or the bailiffs will take you and hang you.

If that should happen then don't forget -

you'll be there next to me.

- Have you spoken to him?

- Yes, my dear. He was not offended.

I told him you left because

your mother was calling for you.

He hopes you'll go riding with him

today as arranged.

Riding with him?

But how can I?

How can I go riding with him?

Julie.

You will find me someone

and bring her here.

Yes, Countess.

But first, what news of the little one,

our real daughter?

I'm so anxious.

She should be here by now.

- But didn't Captain Dobi tell you?

- No.

The Danube flooded

where she would've crossed.

- My poor child.

- She is quite safe.

Now, Julie, do as I ask.

Countess.

Will the Countess have her fortune told?

Two days she's been gone

and no news of her.

I think the Countess knows

what's happened to her.

Yes, tell him how the old witch

used to treat her.

Tell him how she used

to burn her and hit her.

- Yes, that's right, she did.

- Quiet!

You stupid, ignorant people.

Show a bit of respect for the Countess.

- Why should we?

- For food and the warmth of this kitchen.

And her soldiers who protect you

from the Turks and the outlaws.

You ungrateful lot. You're the envy

of the village, you know that?

So be satisfied and keep your mouths shut.

I just want to see my Teri again.

My little girl.

I just want to see her again. Alive.

She'll turn up. They always do.

Probably hiding out

in the forest somewhere.

Anyway, how many other children
