Count Dracula : No thank you, Doctor. I never drink wine.

Count Dracula : Jonathan Harker tells me you speak some Romanian.
Lucy Seward : Well, hardly, I know...
[Dracula says a sentence in Romanian and Lucy smiles]
Count Dracula : There, you do understand.
Lucy Seward : [still smiling] Not really. I have no idea what you said.
Count Dracula : I said it would be nice to see you smile.
Lucy Seward : [pause] Then you should be pleased.
Count Dracula : Oh, I am.

Prof. Abraham Van Helsing : [looking at himself in a mirror] Ach, the devil.

Lucy Seward : Before you arrived we were looking at the ship's log.
Count Dracula : It wasn't lost at sea?
Lucy Seward : No. The very last entry was a strange word. A word that Mina thought meant "undead".
Count Dracula : Undead?
Mina Van Helsing : Yes. "Nosferatu".
Count Dracula : Ah! It means "not dead".
-
Count Dracula : You are a wise man, Professor, for someone who has not lived even a single lifetime.

Prof. Abraham Van Helsing : I prefer to remain.

Count Dracula : I am the *king* of my kind!

Milo Renfield : Please master. Hurt me, torture me, I deserve it. But please... don't kill me.
Count Dracula : Ah, Renfield... you disappoint me so.

[Dracula, Lucy,and Mina are discussing "Nosferatu"]
Mina Van Helsing : Dead! Undead! I don't care, they all frighten me!
Lucy Seward : Oh, I love to be frightened!
Count Dracula : [glances at her, then, after a pause] *Do* you?
-
Count Dracula : Lucy, come! Come to me!
[Lucy runs into Dracula's arms, and he embraces her]
Count Dracula : No, you must go on a bit longer as a creature of the sun. Only until we have left behind those who would destroy us.
Lucy Seward : And then?
Count Dracula : Then you will join me on a higher plane... feeding on them. We will create more of our kind, Lucy.
-
Count Dracula : You fools! Do you think with your crosses and your wafers you can destroy me? Me! You do not know how many men have come against me. I am the *king* of my kind! You have accomplished nothing, Van Helsing. Time is on my side. In a century, when you are dust, I shall wake and call Lucy, my queen, from her grave. I have in my time had many brides, Mr. Harker. But I shall set Lucy above them all.

Jonathan Harker : I'm sorry. I had a key.
[holds key up]
Jonathan Harker : I had to let myself in.
Count Dracula : I wonder where Renfield can be.
Jonathan Harker : I don't know. I knocked but he didn't...
Count Dracula : [interrupts] Yes, well, the man is worthless.
-
Count Dracula : If, at any time, my company does not please you, you will have only yourself to blame for an acquaintance who seldom forces himself but is difficult to be rid of.

Prof. Abraham Van Helsing : [Dracula has crept in on Van Helsing] I did not hear you come in, Count.
Count Dracula : I am often told I have a light footstep.
Prof. Abraham Van Helsing : I was looking in the mirror. It reflects the whole room, and yet I cannot see...
Count Dracula : [suddenly picks up a lamp and hurls it at the mirror in which he shows no reflection, making Van Helsing duck for cover. Pause] Forgive me, Doctor. I dislike mirrors, they are the playthings of man's vanity.
Prof. Abraham Van Helsing : You are a most unusual creature, Count Dracul.
Count Dracula : [smiling] Yes...
