Shadow Of The Vampire Page #4

Albin, we need to|clear the table.

We'll need the inkwell,|the quill and the contracts.

Wolf, I'd like it darker|and smokier.

[Wolfgang]|ln which case l thought,|move that lamp to the far side.

And you, spread some dust|on the floor.

[ Schreck Grunting ]

[Murnau]|Ah ! There you are.

[ Laughing ]

It's incredible, no ?

I wish you could all|see your faces.

Ladies and gentlemen,|this is Max Schreck,

who will be portraying|our vampire, Count Orlock.

As you no doubt have heard,|Max's methods are somewhat...

unconventional,|but I am sure...

you will come to respect|his artistry in this matter.

Now. Yes, places,|everybody.

May I have the chair,|please ? Quickly.

Count Orlock,|you will sit here|at the head of the table.

Please.

Very good.

In this scene, the count|is reading the papers|you brought him.

And you are about to make|a considerable amount of money.

- No ! No makeup !|- [ Speaking German ]

Forgive me.

Albin, clear the set.|[Speaking German]

[Albin]|Okay.|[ Snorts ]

[Murnau]|Count, you're reading|your documents.

That's it.|It isn't right.

Well, try acting it,|for God's sake.|What should it say ?

It's meant to be a contract.

A realestate contract.

- I'd like some makeup.|- Well, you don't get any.

Allright.|Are we ready to begin ?|[ Snorts ]

Elke, the phonograph.

[ Record Scratching ]

Ruhe, bitte. Iris in.

And...

concentrate.

Begin.

Allright, Orlock, very good.|You're reading your papers.

Read your papers|very intensely.

After all, how often is it|that you get correspondence|from the living ?

No, don't look up.|Concentrate on your papers.

Not that you actually|care about the details|of the contract.

All you're interested in|are all those juicy throats|waiting for you...

the moment|you get to Germany.

Now, Hutter, even though|it may repel you,

creep in, creep in.

Let us see the expectation|on your face.

You are about to make|the biggest sale ofyour life.

Point out a few details|of the contract. Yes.

Tell him that's--|that's particularly|benefiicial to you.

Reach into your bag.

This will seal the deal,|and something falls out.

Count, what is it,|on your left,|on the table ?

lt'sa locket.

This is Greta Schroeder.

No, you don't know her.|He's supposed to|ask who it is.

Oh.

No. End.

Jesus, Max !|Henrik, can you|explain to him...

his motivation ?

All right. Count,

think about this.

What is it that inspires...

the most longing in you,

that is most desirable,|and yet, most unattainable ?

The light ofthe sun.

That is the emotion.|Use it.

Nosferatu,|you read your papers.|Ruhe, bitte.

Who is this woman ?

Ellen, my wife.

She has|a beautiful bosom.

-Jeez !|- Gustav, just snatch it|back from him.
