Dracula Quote

Count Dracula: I expect you are anxious to return to England.

Jonathan Harker: I should like to start back soon, it's true.

Count Dracula: Very well. Write a letter to your friends, saying that you have already left the Castle and arrived at Bistritz, where you are awaiting the weekly express.

Jonathan Harker: [suspiciously] May I ask with what object, sir?

Count Dracula: The posts are few, and uncertain. Writing now will ease the minds of Mister Hawkins and your fiancee.

Jonathan Harker: Count Dracula.

Count Dracula: Yes?

Jonathan Harker: I have been struck by a curious fact.

Count Dracula: Yes?

Jonathan Harker: I've not seen a single servant since I've been here. Yet my meals are served. My bed is made. Tell me, are we alone in the Castle?

Count Dracula: Alone? How could one be alone in this castle? In its most the past, the *living* past is present, surrounding us.

Jonathan Harker: That does *not* answer my question, sir. I've been here for three weeks and have not once stepped outside the Castle.

Count Dracula: I would gladly have shown you the countryside if you had expressed a wish to do so.

Jonathan Harker: When would we have gone? In the dead of night? I've never set eyes on you during the day.

Count Dracula: I have a large estate to manage.

Jonathan Harker: Nor have I seen you eat.

Count Dracula: I eat alone.

Movie: Dracula
