Count Magnus Lee Quotes in Vampire Hunter D (1985)

Count Magnus Lee: I've lived for almost ten thousand years. Believe me you have no idea what that means: boredom. Everlasting and hideous boredom. A never ending search for ways to pass the time... and mating with a human female is one of the few I enjoy. Eventually they become tiresome. For in spite of their vitality, they are fundamentally stupid creatures who couldn't survive without the nobility to rule them. Perhaps now you'll understand my wanting to have some fun every thousand years or so?

Count Magnus Lee: What a wonderful night this has been! For the first time in one hundred years I haven't been bored once!

D: You and your kind do not belong among the living. You are nothing but visitors from the past, shadows from the world of darkness.

Count Magnus Lee: World of darkness?

D: You and your kind should go back to where you belong! Back to the abyss... OF OBLIVION!

Count Magnus Lee: A challenger. How amusing.

Count Magnus Lee: Permit me to introduce myself, I am Count Magnus Lee, at your service. And since you seem fit to take it upon yourself to trespass into my domain I must ask for payment!

Count Magnus Lee: I have lived in this world for ten thousand years, and yet you lack the capacity to understand what that truly means. When years cease to have meaning, boredom is a mortal foe. It is a war for constant stimulation, and if that means debasing our line with humans, then so be it. And after all, since we took control of their lands, the humans owe us something in exchange for the simple existences our efforts allow them. When you consider that, a human female every fifty years or so is nothing.

Count Magnus Lee: [Rei Ginsei stands between Count Lee and his wedding procession] Rei, stand aside or die.

Rei Ginsei: Your days are over, Count Lee.

[takes out Time Traveling Incense, blinding the procession]

Rei Ginsei: Wait fifty years, you said? Do you even remember what fifty years is to us? I lost my left hand because of you! I watched all my comrades die, and for what? But all that ends here and now. You're going to die, Count Lee!

Count Magnus Lee: [dissipates the candle and shatters it, then chuckles] Did you *really* think that would work on me, you fool?

[He elevates Rei Ginsei with his powers, smashing him against column after column. Finally, he pins him upside down above the opposite door]

Count Magnus Lee: Goodbye, Rei.

[Rei's skull swells and finally bursts open, exploding into a bloody, brain-filled mess]

Count Magnus Lee: My, this day is turning out to be filled with more wonderfully delightful diversions that I'd ever dared to hope for. How invigorating!

[laughs wickedly]
