Van Helsing Quotes in Van Helsing (2004)

Carl: Now, you won't turn into a werewolf until your first full moon. That's two days from now. So we have 48 hours to find a solution. But you'll still be able to fight Dracula's hold over you until the final stroke of midnight.

Van Helsing: Sounds like I have nothing to worry about.

Carl: Oh, my God, you should be terrified!

Van Helsing: Thank you.

Carl: Sorry.

Carl: [while stocking Van Helsing's kit for the trip to Transylvania] I don't know. You could blind your enemies, char-broil a herd of chargind wildebeests - use your imagination.

Van Helsing: No, I'm going to use yours - you're coming with me.

Carl: Oh, to hell and be damned I am!

Van Helsing: Carl, you just cursed! Not well mind you but you're a monk. You shouldn't curse at all.

Carl: Actually I'm just a friar so I can curse all I want... dammit!

Frankenstein's Monster: You've been bitten. Bitten by a werewolf. Now you will become that which you have hunted so passionately.

[Van Helsing takes out a tranquilizer blowgun]

Van Helsing: I am sorry...

Frankenstein's Monster: May others be as passionate in the hunting of you.

Van Helsing: There's something down here, it's carnivorous. Whatever it is it appears to be... human. I'd say it's a size 17, about 360 pounds, 8 and a half to 9 feet tall and he has a bad gimp in his right leg and, ah, 3 copper teeth.

Anna Valerious: How do you know he has copper teeth?

Van Helsing: 'Cause he's standing right behind you.

[shouts]

Van Helsing: Move!

Carl: Why does it smell like wet dog in here?

Van Helsing: [running past him] Werewolf!

Carl: Oh! You'll be needing silver bullets then.

[he produces a box of bullets and throws them to Van Helsing, rather deftly]

Van Helsing: Well done!

Van Helsing: This thing... man... whatever it is... evil may have created it, left its mark on it... but evil does not rule it. So I cannot kill it.

Carl: So you can remember everything about your life from the last seven years, but nothing before that?

Van Helsing: Not now, Carl.

Carl: There must be something?

Van Helsing: [dead serious] I remember fighting the Romans at Masada.

Carl: That was in 73 A.D.

Van Helsing: You asked.

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.

Van Helsing: I have to pull the bolts off... this is going to hurt!

Frankenstein's Monster: I am accustomed to pain!

Van Helsing: It let's you know you're alive!

Carl: Here, take this.

[he hands Van Helsing a bag, then begins to fill it]

Carl: Rings of garlic... holy water... silver stake... crucifix...

[they pass two monks test-firing a Gatling gun]

Van Helsing: Why can't I have one of those?

Van Helsing: Now, Carl, whatever you do, don't stare at him.

[he opens the coach door, revealing the Frankenstein Monster shackled into the seat, struggling and snarling]

Carl: I'm staring at him.

[quickly turns away]

Carl: Is that a man?

Van Helsing: Actually, it's seven men. Parts of them, anyway.

[after Van Helsing's first, failed attempt to kill Dracula]

Anna Valerious: A silver stake? A crucifix? What, did you think we haven't tried everything before? We've shot him, stabbed him, clubbed him, sprayed him with holy water, staked him through the heart, and STILL he lives! Do you understand? No-one knows how to kill Dracula!

Van Helsing: Well, I could have used that information a little earlier.

Anna Valerious: We Transylvanians always look on the brighter side of death.

Van Helsing: There's a brighter side of death?

Anna Valerious: Of course. It's just harder to see.

Carl: [about his invention] I know what it's for! I know what it's for!... Where are we going?

Van Helsing, Anna Valerious: Through that window!

Van Helsing: Now, my superiors would like for me to take you alive, so that they might extricate your better half.

Mr. Hyde: [laughing] I'll bet they bloody would.

Van Helsing: Personally, I'd rather just kill you and call it a day. But let's make it your decision, shall we?

Mr. Hyde: [pretends to think] Hmm, do let's.

[attacks him]

Top Hat: I see the Wolfman hasn't killed you yet.

Van Helsing: Don't worry. He's getting to it.

Van Helsing: Bless me father for I have...

Cardinal Jinette: Sinned! Yes, I know. You're very good at it. You shattered the Rose Window.

Van Helsing: Well, not to split hairs, but it was Mr. Hyde who did the shattering.

Cardinal Jinette: Thirteenth century. Over six hundred years old! I wish you a week in hell for that.

Van Helsing: It would be a nice reprieve.

Cardinal Jinette: Don't get me wrong. Your results are unquestionable, but your methods attract far too much attention. Wanted posters. We are not pleased.

Van Helsing: Do you think I like being the most wanted man in Europe? Why don't you and the order do something about it?

Cardinal Jinette: Because we do not exist.

Van Helsing: Well then neither do I.

Cardinal Jinette: When we found you crawling up the steps of this church, half dead, it was clear to all of us that you had been sent to do God's work.

Van Helsing: Why can't He do it Himself?

Mr. Hyde: You're a big one. You'll be hard to digest.

Van Helsing: I'd hate to be such a nuisance.

Van Helsing: Dr. Jekyll, you're wanted by the Knights of the Holy Order...

Mr. Hyde: It's Mr. Hyde, now!

Van Helsing: for the murder of twelve men, six women, four...

Mr. Hyde: [laughing] Four children, three goats, and a rather nasty massacre of poultry!

Anna Valerious: [after Van Helsing has killed the Werewolf] You killed him!

Van Helsing: Now you see why people call me a murderer.

Van Helsing: I missed you in London.

Mr. Hyde: No, you bloody did not!

[shows Van Helsing a bullet wound]

Mr. Hyde: You got me good.

[Anna Valerious falls back into the a wall, out cold]

Van Helsing: [catches her in his arms before she falls to the floor] I'm sorry about that too.

Anna Valerious: What are these things?

Van Helsing: I think they're Dracula's children.

Anna Valerious: His children?

Van Helsing: A man, with three gorgeous women, for four hundred years?

Van Helsing: Absinthe. Strong stuff.

[Anna takes a defiant swig and gives the bottle back to Van Helsing]

Anna Valerious: Don't let it touch your tongue... it'll knock straight on your aaaaaa...

[she gets cut off as the ground falls through]

Anna Valerious: For me this is all personal. It's all about family and honor. Why do you do it? What do you hope to get out of it?

Van Helsing: Oh, I don't know. Maybe some self-realization.

Anna Valerious: And what have you got out of it so far?

Van Helsing: Nightmares.

[stalking the werewolf through the streets]

Van Helsing: Who's hunting whom?

Anna Valerious: Dwergi!

Van Helsing: Dwergi?

Anna Valerious: Dracula's servants. Industrious, but extremely vicious. If you get a chance to kill one, do it, because they'll do worse to you.

[seeing Dracula's children hatch and fly through the castle]

Van Helsing: This is where I come in!

[Van Helsing and Carl break into a mausoleum to hide the unconscious Monster]

Carl: I'm sure this is some kind of sin.

Van Helsing: Don't worry, God will forgive us.

[Van Helsing appears to free the Monster]

Frankenstein's Monster: What are you doing? You must find the cure!

Van Helsing: My friends are doing it for me.

Frankenstein's Monster: Friends...

Van Helsing: Yes. You want one?

Anna Valerious: Some say you're a murderer, Mr. Van Helsing. Others say you're a holy man. Which is it?

Van Helsing: It's a bit of both, I think.

Van Helsing: You're a genius!

Carl: A genius with access to unstable chemicals!

Igor: Please, don't kill me!

Van Helsing: Why not?

Igor: Well, um... I... um... uh...

Van Helsing: The Cardinal has ordered you to keep me alive.

[he throws the bag back to Carl, then walks past him]

Van Helsing: For as long as possible.

Carl: But I'm not a field man! Van Helsing, I don't want to go to Transylvania!

Mr. Hyde: So, you're the great Van Helsing.

Van Helsing: And you're a deranged psychopath.

Mr. Hyde: We all have our little problems.

Van Helsing: [to a captive Igor] If they even suspect you of misleading them...

[he demonstrates a wicked-looked set of pliers in front of Igor's face, then hands them to Anna]

Van Helsing: Clip off one of his fingers.

Anna Valerious: I'll clip off something.

Van Helsing: To have memories of those you have loved and lost is perhaps harder than to have no memories at all.

Van Helsing: He's not your brother anymore, Anna!

Anna Valerious: You knew?

Van Helsing: Yes.

Anna Valerious: Before or after I stopped you from shooting him?

Van Helsing: Before.

Anna Valerious: And still you tried to kill him!

Van Helsing: He's a werewolf. He's going to kill people!

Anna Valerious: It's not his fault! He can't help it!

Van Helsing: I know, but he's going to do it anyway!

[approaching the entrance to Castle Dracula]

Carl: Do we have a plan? I mean, it doesn't have to be Wellington's at Waterloo, but some kind of plan would be nice.

Van Helsing: We're going to go in there and stop Dracula.

Anna Valerious: And kill anyone who gets in our way.

Carl: [quickly turns around] Well, you let me know how that goes...

[Upon seeing a baby vampire for the first time]

Van Helsing: So this is what you get when vampires mate.

Carl: What are we doing here? Why is it so important to kill this Dracula anyway?

Van Helsing: Because he's the son of the devil.

Carl: I mean besides that.

Van Helsing: Because if we kill him, anything bitten by him or created will also die.

Carl: I mean besides that.

Van Helsing: Next time, stay close, you're no good to me dead.

[Carl hands Van Helsing his latest invention, an automatic crossbow]

Carl: A work of certifiable genius.

Van Helsing: If you don't say so yourself.

Carl: Well, I did say so myself.

Van Helsing: [looking around for the werewolf] It's a little late for digging graves, isn't it?

Top Hat: It's never too late to dig graves. You never know when you'll need a fresh one...

[when Van Helsing turns around, he suddenly swings his shovel at Van Helsing's head. Van Helsing catches the handle and points his gun in Top Hat's face]

Top Hat: Oh, sorry! It's just... my nature.

Van Helsing: If you're late, run like hell.

[Anna turns away, but he grabs her back]

Van Helsing: Don't be late.

Van Helsing: Bless me, Father, for I have...

Cardinal Jinette: Sinned! Yes, I know. You're very good at that. You shattered the Rose Window!

Van Helsing: Well, not to split hairs, sir, but it was Mr. Hyde who did the shattering...

Cardinal Jinette: 13th Century. Over six hundred years old! I wish you a week in hell for that!

Van Helsing: It would be a nice reprieve.

Cardinal Jinette: Don't get me wrong. Your results are unquestionable, but your methods attract far too much attention. Wanted posters? We are not pleased.

Van Helsing: Do you think I like being the most wanted man in Europe? Why don't you and the order do something about it?

Cardinal Jinette: Because we do not exist.

Van Helsing: Well, then neither do I.

[he gets up angrily, but the Cardinal presses a button, dropping a set of bars over the confessional's exit]

Cardinal Jinette: When we found you crawling up the steps of this church, half dead, it was clear to all of us that you had been sent to do God's work.

Van Helsing: Why can't he do it Himself?

Cardinal Jinette: Don't blaspheme! You already lost your memory as a penance for past sins. If you wish to recover it, I suggest you continue to heed the call.

Van Helsing: Now that I have your attention.

Van Helsing: That's why you're coming with me.

Carl: The hell be damned that I am.

Van Helsing: You cursed. Not very well, mind you, but you're a monk. You shouldn't curse at all.

Carl: Actually, I'm still just a friar. I can curse all I want, dammit.

Van Helsing: My life... my job... my curse... is to vanquish evil.

Carl: Are you always this popular?

Van Helsing: Pretty much.

Carl: You've never gone after vampires before, have you?

Van Helsing: Vampires, gargoyles, warlocks, they're all the same - best when cooked well.

Van Helsing: Carl, I need you to do something

Carl: I'm not gonna like this am I?

Van Helsing: You're going to take them and lead them to the antidote.

Igor: No, I'm not!

[Van Helsing grabs Igor with his werewolf strength and throws him violently against the wall]

Igor: Yes, I am.

Anna Valerious: You! Turn around. Let me see your faces.

Van Helsing: Why?

Anna Valerious: Because we don't trust strangers.

Anna Valerious: Show me your faces!

Van Helsing: Why?

Anna Valerious: Because we don't trust strangers.

Top Hat: Strangers don't last long here.

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.

Van Helsing: I have to pull the bolts off... this is going to hurt!

Frankenstein's Monster: I am accustomed to pain...

Van Helsing: It lets you know you're alive!

Van Helsing: [Bangs on the canal gate feverishly while staying afloat; he looks on as the Frankenstein monster drifts away with the enemy] I must save him!

Carl: [Holding his head down] No, you can't.

Van Helsing: [Surprised] Why?

Carl: [Lamentingly] I cabled Rome earlier to apprise them of our situation.

Van Helsing: And what did they say?

Carl: [Speaks with sadness in his voice] Even if you somehow kill Dracula, Rome orders you to destroy Frankenstein as well.

Van Helsing: But he isn't evil!

Carl: Yes, but they say he isn't human either.

Van Helsing: Do they know him? Have they talked with him? Who are they to judge?

Carl: They want you to destroy him so he can never be used to harm humanity.

Van Helsing: And what of *me?* Did you tell them what *I'm* to become?

[Swiftly grabs hold of Carl's throat]

Van Helsing: Did they tell you how to *kill* me?

[He lifts him up with one arm, pinning him to the gate; the more he speaks, the tighter his grip gets around Carl's throat, while he struggles vainly to free himself]

Van Helsing: The correct *angle* of the stake as it enters my heart?

Anna Valerious: [Anna, terrified of his outburst tries to grab hold of Van Helsing to get him to release Carl] No! Stop!

Van Helsing: [His hand still tightening, his iris dilate and begin to glow an eerie, pale yellow as he yells] The exact measure of *silver* in each *bullet*? Huh?

Carl: [Croaks pitifully in Van Helsing's grip, and speaks pleadingly] No, I-I left you out!

Van Helsing: [Van Helsing's eyes look more and more savage. He grimaces and doubles over, releasing Carl from his grasp. Then he clutches himself, as a vicious roar bellows though his lips; he snarls and sneers while clenching his fists trying to fight away the curse. Anna and Carl look at him with both fear of and for him; as his eyes return to that of human, he realizes he has little time left and that he has hurt his best friend. He looks at Carl with regret] I'm sorry... It is starting...

Van Helsing: This thing... man... whatever it is... evil may have created it, left its mark on it... but evil does not rule it. So I cannot kill it.

Top Hat: [Standing in an upright coffin] Nice night.

[Van Helsing turns and aims his gun at Top Hat]

Top Hat: This is a bit tight for me. But for you? It is a perfect fit.

[Walks away]

Top Hat: I see the werewolf hasn't killed you yet.

Van Helsing: [Follows Top Hat] Don't worry, he's getting to it. Why are you here? Aren't you afraid?

Top Hat: Oh, I am no threat to him. I'm just the one who cleans up after him.

[starts digging in the graveyard]

[after Van Helsing and Johnanthan have returned from driving a stake through Lucy's heart]

Dr. Steward: I don't understand it! he's covered in blood and there's not a drop on you!

Van Helsing: I have been to many stakings- you have to know where to stand! You know, everything in life is location, location, location...

Jonathan Harker: She's alive?

Van Helsing: She's Nosferatu.

Jonathan Harker: She's Italian?

Van Helsing: [examining Lucy's throat with a magnifying lens] Three tiny puncture Marks on her Throat...

Dr. Steward: Three?

Van Helsing: [breathes on and polishes the lens] Two. Two tiny Puncture marks on her throat.

Van Helsing: Count Dracula. Hmm, curious. Are you descended from Vlad Tepes? The first Dracula?

Dr. Steward: Tepes?

Van Helsing: Ya. It means 'The Impaler.' He was a blood-thirsty butchah. He inflicted unspeakable tortures on the peasants: cutting off their hands and feet, gouging out their eyes and then impaling them on iron spikes!

Dracula: They had it coming.

Dr. Steward: Count Dracula, allow me to introduce Professor Abraham Van Helsing of London University. He's a doctor of rare diseases as well as theology and philosophy.

Van Helsing: And gynaecology.

Dr. Steward: Oh, I didn't know you had your hand in that, too.

Jonathan Harker: [having been told to drive a stake into Lucy] Oh, that's horrible. Is there no other way?

Van Helsing: One other. We could cut off her head, stuff her mouth with garlic and tear off her ears!

Jonathan Harker: [after a moment's thought] Give me the stake.

[pauses again]

Jonathan Harker: No. No, I can't do it... you do it!

Van Helsing: It must be done by one who loved her in life!

Jonathan Harker: I only liked her!

Van Helsing: Close enough!

Jonathan Harker: Are you saying that Count Dracula is our vampire?

Van Helsing: Yes!... and no...

Jonathan Harker: Then what are you saying?

Van Helsing: I'm saying no. But I'm leeeeaning towards yes.

Dr. Steward: Then you're saying yes.

Van Helsing: No.

Dr. Steward: Then you're saying no.

Van Helsing: Not necessarily.

Jonathan Harker: You sound dubious.

Van Helsing: No -I'm positive!

Jonathan Harker: Of what?

Van Helsing: Of my theory!

Jonathan Harker: And that would be?

Van Helsing: The theory of Yes- or no.

[Jonathan had just impaled Lucy, and was hit by two rounds of blood]

Jonathan Harker: Oh! This is - this is ghastly!

Van Helsing: Yes, you're right. We should have put newspapers down!

Van Helsing: Where did her blood go? There's nothing on the pillow case, or her nightgown.

[to Dr. Steward]

Van Helsing: Can you explain zhat?

[looks at Jonathan]

Van Helsing: Can you explain zhat?

Dr. Steward: No, I can't explain zhat.

Jonathan Harker: I can't explain zhat, either.

Van Helsing: No one can explain zhat!

Van Helsing: Why don't we have a look at the brain?

Woodbridge: [smiling] Mhm.

Van Helsing: First we crack open the skull, like so.

[bashes the corpse's head with a big hammer]

Van Helsing: Behold the naked human brain... Examine it!

[throws the brain to Woodbridge]

Woodbridge: [screams and faints]

[Johnathon drives a stake into Lucy's heart and is subsequently hit by many gallons of blood]

Jonathan Harker: Oh... my... GOD! There's so much blood!

Van Helsing: She just ate! Hit her again!

Jonathan Harker: Oh no... i can't...

Van Helsing: How much blood can she have left?

Van Helsing: [Jonathan hits the stake again and is hit with even more blood than last time]

Van Helsing: She's almost dead!

Jonathan Harker: She's dead enough.

Renfield: Are you saying that Count Dracula is our vampire?

Van Helsing: Yes!... and no...

Renfield: Then what are you saying?

Van Helsing: I'm saying no. But I'm leeeeaning towards yes.

Jonathan Harker: Then you're saying yes.

Van Helsing: No.

Jonathan Harker: Then you're saying no.

Van Helsing: Not necessarily.

Renfield: You sound dubious.

Van Helsing: No -I'm positive!

Renfield: Of what?

Van Helsing: Of my theory!

Renfield: And that would be?

Van Helsing: The theory of Yes- or no.

[last lines]

Van Helsing: Foushta!

Van Helsing: Some vampires will believe anything.

Van Helsing: When I get that book, I will rule the world! Think of it - famine! War! Death!

Van Helsing: Selling the house now would be like closing the barn door after the horses eat your children.

Party Guest: What do we get if we win?

Van Helsing: You get to keep the boy!

Van Helsing: In one minute, terrible things are going to happen! (A scream is heard off-camera.) Um, less than a minute?

Van Helsing: We've all become God's madmen, all of us.

Van Helsing: Mr. Morris, your bullets will not harm him. He must be beheaded. I suggest you use your big Bowie knife.

Quincey P. Morris: Well, I wasn't plannin' on getting that close, Doc.

Van Helsing: Jack. Come here. I know how deeply you loved her. That is why you must trust me and believe.

Doctor Jack Seward: Believe? How can I believe?

Van Helsing: I want you to bring me, before nightfall, a set of postmortem knives.

Doctor Jack Seward: An autopsy? On Lucy?

Van Helsing: No, no, no. Not exactly. I just want to cut off her head and take out her heart.

Lord Arthur Holmwood: Forgive me, sir. My life is hers - I would give my last drop of blood to save her.

Van Helsing: The last drop? Thank you, you're very welcome here.

Van Helsing: She lives beyond the grace of God, a wanderer in the outer darkness. She is "vampyr", "nosferatu". These creatures do not die like the bee after the first sting, but instead grow strong and become immortal once infected by another nosferatu. So, my friends we fight not one beast but legions that go on age after age after age, feeding on the blood of the living.

Van Helsing: Yet, we may still save her precious soul. But, not on an empty stomach! Jack!

Doctor Jack Seward: Yes, sir?

Van Helsing: Ah! I starve! Feed me!

Van Helsing: Do not let your eyes see or your ears hear that which you cannot account for.

Van Helsing: We have learned much. Dracula fears us. He fears time. For if he does not, why does he hurry so.

Van Helsing: [to Dr. Jack Seward] Jack, you are a scientist; do you not think there are things in this Universe that you cannot understand and which are true?

Van Helsing: The strength of the vampire is that people will not believe in him.

Doctor Seward: But, Professor Van Helsing, modern medical science does not admit of such a creature! The vampire is a pure myth, superstition.

Van Helsing: I may be able to bring you proof that the superstition of yesterday can become the scientific reality of today.

Van Helsing: [Holding a box] A moment ago, I stumbled upon a most amazing phenomena. Something so incredible, I mistrust my own judgement. Look.

[Van Helsing opens the box to reveal a mirror. Dracula smacks it out of his hand]

Count Dracula: Van Helsing.

[Van Helsing turns to face Count Dracula]

Count Dracula: Now that you have learned what you have learned, it would be well for you to return to your own country.

Van Helsing: I prefer to remain and protect those whom you would destroy.

Count Dracula: You are too late. My blood now flows through her veins. She will live through the centuries to come, as I have lived.

Van Helsing: Should you escape us, Dracula. We know how to save Miss Mina's soul if not her life.

Count Dracula: If she dies by day. But I shall see that she dies by night.

Van Helsing: And I will have Carfax Abbey torn down, stone by stone, excavated a mile around. I will find your earth-box and drive that stake through your heart.

Count Dracula: Come here.

[Dracula raises his hand to hypnotise Van Helsing]

Count Dracula: Come here.

[Van Helsing takes three hypnotised steps towards Dracula but soon steps back, resisting Dracula's hypnotic power over him]

Count Dracula: Your will is strong, Van Helsing.

[Van Helsing reaches out for his crucifix as Dracula looms toward him]

Count Dracula: More wolfbane?

Van Helsing: More effective than wolfbane, Count.

Count Dracula: Indeed.

[Dracula lunges towards Van Helsing. Van Helsing holds up the crucifix. Dracula snarls and turns away. Van Helsing, in triumph, puts away the crucifix]

Renfield, Van Helsing: Mr. Harker, I have devoted my lifetime to the study of many strange things. Little-known facts which the world is, perhaps, better off for not knowing.

John Harker: I know. But Professor, all I want is to get Mina away from all of this.

Van Helsing: That will do no good. Our only chance of saving Miss Mina's life is to find the hiding place of Dracula's living corpse and to drive a stake through its heart.

Renfield: Isn't this a strange conversation for men who aren't crazy?

Renfield: He came and stood below my window in the moonlight. And he promised me things, not in words, but by doing them.

Van Helsing: Doing them?

Renfield: By making them happen. A red mist spread over the lawn, coming on like a flame of fire! And then he parted it, and I could see that there were thousands of rats, with their eyes blazing red,l ike his, only smaller. Then he held up his hand, and they all stopped, and I thought he seemed to be saying: "Rats! Rats! Rats! Thousands! Millions of them! All red-blood! All these will I give you! If you will obey me!"

Van Helsing: What did he want you to do?

Renfield: That which has already been done!

[giggles sinisterly]

Van Helsing: You'll die in torment if you die with innocent blood on your soul.

Renfield: God will not damn a poor lunatic's soul. He knows that the powers of evil are too great for those with weak minds.

Van Helsing: Gentlemen, we are dealing with the undead.

Scholar: Nosferatu

Van Helsing: Yes, Nosferatu.

Count Dracula: [tries to hypnotize Van Helsing and fails] Your will is strong, Van Helsing.

[advances toward Van Helsing; Van Helsing reaches into one of his pockets]

Count Dracula: More wolfbane?

Van Helsing: More effective than wolfbane, Count.

Count Dracula: Indeed.

[Van Helsing pulls a crucifix from his pocket; Dracula hisses and flees]

Van Helsing: What have you to do with Dracula?

Renfield: DRACULA?... I never even heard the name before

Warden: The patient that came in yesterday is having a fit.

Van Helsing: Which one?

Warden: The one that bit the cow.
