Doctor Dracula Page #5

---

Rule number one about

observation collecting:

Never take a situation

at face value.

What you see

is not what really is.

Better get out his pipe

and slippers, Sam.

- He's showing his age again.

- You two better be careful.

- The doctor may be casting today.

- Don't you let him touch me.

- What about me?

- You know how to go invisible.

Only from

the waist down.

Strange:
Wonder where that little

scary guy is that takes the tickets.

Samantha:

Maybe he's out to lunch.

Yeah, I can just

imagine what he's eating.

Exhibit recording:

Welcome to the creature emporium.

My name is Dr. duryea,

and I am the creator of all

you are about to witness.

It's like listening to

dial-a-prayer on the telephone.

Please follow my voice

to the first platform.

Mike, we didn't come here

to hear a recording

of some doctor's voice.

I've never been

in this place before.

Maybe there isn't

any Dr. duryea.

Strange:
Mike, take my word for it.

He's around.

The guillotine

was invented

by a French physician

educated at a jesuit college.

As a deputy

to the national assembly,

he proposed

that decapitation

be adopted as the method

of capital punishment

in order to make executions

as swift and painless as possible.

Of course, there is no way

we are able to determine

if the method

is entirely painless,

but we certainly know

by observation

that the entire

procedure is swift.

If this had been

an actual demonstration,

you would have noted

the extreme lack of blood.

Sounds like he

enjoys every word of it.

Look, Mike, there are wires

all over the place.

This whole exhibit

must be mechanical.

Maybe you were

right about Dr. duryea.

And what is right

about Dr. duryea?

Oh, I'm-- I'm--

I'm sorry.

I didn't know

there was anyone about.

Iam everywhere,

particularly in this room,

since all of these creatures

are byproducts of my mind.

I'm afraid we came here

for another reason, doctor.

My sister visited

your exhibit...

Many young

people come here

to study to

mysteries of the occult.

- ...and now she's missing.

- Missing?

Yes, she was last seen on

the beach right by your very exhibit.

Oh, I see.

I have a picture of joanie.

The face is not

familiar to me.

I know she's been here

in the past, doctor.

Many people come here

to study the exquisite

work of Dr. duryea.

Afterwards, their faces

all blend in my mind.

However, you may leave

your address at the box office

and I will contact you

immediately if she reappears.

He was right about

being all over the place.

Did you see his eyes when

i showed him the picture of joanie?

- Yeah, I saw his eyes.

- He knows joanie.

- I just know it.
