Count Vladislaus Dracula Quotes in Van Helsing (2004)

Count Vladislaus Dracula: There, there, my lovelies. Do not worry, I shall find another bride.

[Dracula's brides are appalled]

Verona: What?

Verona: Have you no heart?

Count Vladislaus Dracula: No! I have no heart, I feel no love. Nor fear, nor joy, nor sorrow. I am hollow... and I will live forever.

Aleera: Oh, my lord...

Verona: It is not so bad.

[Dracula's mood changes on a dime, and he begins to laugh]

Count Vladislaus Dracula: I'm at war with the world! And every living soul in it! But soon... the final battle will begin.

Aleera: Do we mean so little to you?

[said before Verona asks if Dracula has no heart]

[the Werewolf arrives back at Castle Frankenstein and lands next to Dracula, growling menacingly. Dracula ignores him]

Count Vladislaus Dracula: Werewolves are such a nuisance during their first full moon, so hard to control.

[just as the Werwolf is about to lunge at him, he stops and transforms back to Velkan, writhing in pain. Dracula strides majestically past him]

Count Vladislaus Dracula: I send you on a simple errand, to find out who our new friend is, and you have to stop for a little visit with your sister.

Velkan: Leave her out of this, Count! She doesn't know your secret, and I am soon to take it to my grave.

Count Vladislaus Dracula: Don't wish for death so quickly. I intend for you to be quite useful.

Velkan: I would rather die than help you.

Count Vladislaus Dracula: Oh, don't be boring, everybody who says that dies.

Count Vladislaus Dracula: You're too late, my friend! My children live!

Van Helsing: Then the only way to kill them is to kill you.

Count Vladislaus Dracula: Correct.

Van Helsing: So be it.

Count Vladislaus Dracula: Igor... Do unto others...

Igor: Before they do it unto me!

[Dracula sees Igor poking the werewolf with a cattle prod]

Count Vladislaus Dracula: Igor!

Igor: Yes, Master?

Count Vladislaus Dracula: Why do you torment that thing so?

Igor: It's what I do.

Dr. Victor Frankenstein: Good God... I would kill myself before helping in such a task.

Count Vladislaus Dracula: Feel free. I don't actually need you anymore, Victor. I just need him... he is the key.

Count Vladislaus Dracula: [Dracula's bride cower in fear] No, no, no. Do not fear me, everybody else fears me. Not my brides.

Count Vladislaus Dracula: [to the other vampires] Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you... Van Helsing!

Count Vladislaus Dracula: You can't kill me, Victor.

[Dracula pushes himself onto the sword Dr. Frankenstein is wielding]

Count Vladislaus Dracula: I'm already dead.

Count Vladislaus Dracula: I can tell the character of a man by the sound of his heartbeat.

[claps his hand in a rhythm of a heartbeat]

Count Vladislaus Dracula: Usually when I approach...

[claps faster]

Count Vladislaus Dracula: I can almost dance to the beat.

[claps slower]

Count Vladislaus Dracula: Strange that yours is so steady.

Igor: I am sorry, Master. We try and we try, but I fear we are not so smart as Doctor Frankenstein.

Count Vladislaus Dracula: Truly. It would appear that the good Doctor took the key to life to his grave.

[the Werewolf climbs up onto the parapet. Dracula waves him away, dismissive]

Count Vladislaus Dracula: Hunt them down. Kill them both.

Count Vladislaus Dracula: Give me LIFE!

Dr. Victor Frankenstein: I'll take him away, far away, where no-one will ever find him.

Count Vladislaus Dracula: Oh, no, Victor. The time has come for me to take command of him.

Dr. Victor Frankenstein: What are you saying?

Count Vladislaus Dracula: Why do you think I brought you here, gave you this castle, equipped your laboratory?

Dr. Victor Frankenstein: You said... you said you believed in my work.

Count Vladislaus Dracula: And I do. But now that it is, as you yourself have said, "A triumph of science over God", it must now serve my purpose.

Anna Valerious: You make my skin crawl.

Count Vladislaus Dracula: This is not all I can do with your skin.

Count Vladislaus Dracula: [kisses/mouths Anna's neck]

Count Vladislaus Dracula: Success!

Dr. Victor Frankenstein: Oh Count, it's just you.

[sighs in relief]

Count Vladislaus Dracula: I was beginning to lose faith, Victor.

[looks down at the angry mob]

Count Vladislaus Dracula: A pity your moment of triumph is being spoiled over a little thing like grave robbery.

[the Dwergi rip a blackened corpse out of the machine's pod and throw it down in front of Velkan]

Count Vladislaus Dracula: Look familiar?

[Velkan recognizes the crucifix around the corpse's neck]

Velkan: Father? No!

[charges at Dracula]

Count Vladislaus Dracula: [stops him easily with a finger] He proved useless. But I'm hoping with Werewolf venom running through your veins, you will be of greater benefit.

[Van Helsing transforms into a werewolf, the one thing that can kill Dracula]

Count Vladislaus Dracula: We are both part of the same great game, Gabriel! But we need not find ourselves on opposing sides of the board...

[the Werewolf roars. Dracula transforms into a giant bat, and attacks him]

Count Vladislaus Dracula: Hello, Gabriel.

[grinning to himself]

Count Vladislaus Dracula: You don't remember me? Allow me to refresh your memory I am Count Vladilaus Dracula, we have some history you and I.

Dr. Victor Frankenstein: I could never allow him to be used for such evil.

Count Vladislaus Dracula: I could. In fact, my brides are insisting on it.

Count Vladislaus Dracula: How does it feel to be a puppet on my string?

Count Vladislaus Dracula: [after feeling Marishka die] if it's not the Christians, it's the Moors! Why can't they just leave us alone. We never kill more than our fill. And less than our share. Can they say the same?

Van Helsing: How do you know me?

Count Vladislaus Dracula: So, would you like me to refresh your memory? A few details from you sordid past?

Count Vladislaus Dracula: [Van Helsing thrusts a crucifix at Dracula. Dracula shrieks and angrily swats it away, then calms down, smiling beatifically, as if nothing happened] Perhaps that is a conversation for another time. But before you go, let me reintroduce myself.

[bows majestically]

Count Vladislaus Dracula: I am Count Vladislaus Dragulia. Born 1422. Murdered 1462.

Count Vladislaus Dracula: Don't we make a lovely couple?

[Anna looks at the mirror. Dracula is not in the reflection]

Count Vladislaus Dracula: I'm looking for a new bride, Anna, someone strong and beautiful. All it takes is one bite from me.

Anna Valerious: [Dracula hugs her tighter] You have no heartbeat.

Count Vladislaus Dracula: Perhaps it just needs to be rekindled.

Count Vladislaus Dracula: [attacked by Van Helsing, as a werewolf] Don't you understand? We could be friends! Partners! Brothers-in-arms!

Count Vladislaus Dracula: All I wanted was life, Gabriel. The continuation of my kind.

[Dracula holds up his left hand, his ring finger has long ago been cut off]

Count Vladislaus Dracula: And perhaps also, the return of my ring.

Count Vladislaus Dracula: Welcome to my summer place.
