Dracula Page #3

Synopsis: When a ship is wrecked off Whitby, the only survivor, Count Dracula, is discovered lying on the beach by the sickly young Mina Van Helsing, who is visiting her dear friend Lucy Seward. Lucy, her fiancé Jonathan Harker (a solicitor), and her father Dr. Jack Seward (who runs the local asylum) try to make the Count feel welcome to England. The Count quickly takes the life of Mina, and proceeds to romance Lucy, with the intention of making her his greatest bride. Soon after the death of Mina, the Sewards call her father Dr. Abraham Van Helsing to come to their home. As Lucy falls deeper under the spell of the Count, Dr. Van Helsing almost immediately comes to understand that his daughter fell prey to a vampire and discovers the culprit to be none other than the Count himself. Dr. Van Helsing, Dr. Seward, and Harker work together to foil the Count's plans to take Lucy away to his native Transylvania.

[ Seward ] Mmm.

So, you've come to England,

Count, to settle down?

To settle down?

No, hardly that.

I've come to wander through the

crowded streets of London...

or to be here in the midst of

the whirl and rush of humanity.

To share its life,

its change, its death.

You, uh-- You have a great lust

for life, Count.

How well you phrase it.

[ Gasps ]

[ Swales ]

Miss Van Helsing!

Oh!

[ Gasping ]

I'm all right.

I'm just dizzy.

Swales, get the laudanum.

No.! No drugs.

You must not pollute her blood.

Put her here on the couch.

Mmm. Oh.

[ Gasping ]

Forgive me, Doctor.

You see, in my country

we are a simpler people.

The strain of the last day

has been too much for you,

Miss Van Helsing.

And I am the cause, I fear.

No, no. It's just--

It's just this pain

in my head.

It runs down here

into my neck.

I can remove this pain.

- So can I. Swales, get my--

- No. Such pains yield

readily to suggestion.

If you mean hypnotism, she'd

be better offhaving the pain.

- Why?

- I suspect Mr. Harker...

thinks of some

ugly waving of arms.

That is not my method.

Look at me.

When I will you to do a thing,

it shall be done.

Hear and obey.

From now on,

you have no pain.

-And no will

ofher own either.

- Lucy.!

I admire your candor,

Miss Seward.

Precisely the sort of

stimulating encounter I'd hoped

to find here in England.

[Jonathan ]

Indeed.

Yes, indeed.

I despise women

with no life in them.

No blood.

When you awake,

you will remember nothing.

Good Lord!

Was it something that I said?

[ Dracula ]

Now, Mr. Harker, come.

We must talk seriously.

I want to sign the deed

to my new home here in England.

Of course.

Tonight?

I won't hear of it.

This was meant to be a party

to welcome our new neighbor.

Come, Count.

Come and dance with me.

- But I hardly know--

- It doesn't matter.

I'll teach you.

I meant...

I hardly know you.

Nonsense.

[ Lucy Laughs ]

[ Whispers ]

Jonathan?

Jonathan.

[ Owl Hoots ]

Boo!

- Oh, my God,Jonathan!

Don't ever do that!

- Shh, shh, shh!

I thought

you loved to be frightened.

I think I should

go back to bed, Mr. Harker.

Mr. Harker, is it? Looks like

I'm not gonna be good enough

for the likes of you anymore.

Hobnobbing with royalty now,

are we?

Really,Jonathan.

You pretend to be

so utterly maudlin.

We were just dancing.

Just dancing!

That's a right amazing way

of putting it.

Do you know,Jonathan,

that if you go on being cross,

you're going to sprout

the most enormous wart...

right on the end

of your nose.
