Dracula (1931 English-language film)

"[after breaking a mirror] Doctor Seward. My humble apology. I dislike mirrors. Van Helsing will explain. For one who has not lived even a single lifetime, you are a wise man, Van Helsing."

"And after you deliver the message, you will remember nothing, I now say...Obey."

"[opening the coffin on the ship] Master, the sun is gone!"

"You will keep your promise when we get to London, won't you Master? You will see that I get lives, not human lives but small ones, with blood in them? I'll be loyal to you Master. I'll be loyal."

"Master, we're here. You can't hear what I'm saying but we're here. We're safe."

"I'm warning you, Doctor Seward! If you don't send me away, you must answer for what will happen to Miss Mina."

"No, no, Master! I wasn't going to say anything! I told them nothing! I'm loyal to you, Master!"

"You know too much to live, Van Helsing!"

"I didn't lead them here, Master! I didn't know, I swear!"

"I'm loyal to you Master, I 'm your slave, I didn't betray you! Oh no, don't! Don't kill me! Let me live, please! Punish me, torture me, but let me live! I can't die with all those lives on my conscience! All that blood on my hands!"

"Seward, I want you to have Renfield closely watched by day and night. Especially by night."

"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."

"A moment ago, I stumbled on a most amazing phenomenon...something so incredible, I mistrust my own judgement."

"A vampire casts no reflection in the glass. That is why Dracula smashed the mirror...The strength of the vampire is that people will not believe in him."

"A vampire, Mr. Harker, is a being that lives after its death by drinking the blood of the living. It must have blood or it dies. Its power lasts only from sunset to sunrise. During the hours of the day, it must rest in the earth in which it was buried."

"And just as I was commencing to get drowsy, I heard dogs howling. And when the dream came, it seemed the whole room was filled with mist. It was so thick, I could just see the lamp by the bed, a tiny spark in the fog. And then I saw two red eyes staring at me, and a white livid face came down out of the mist. It came closer and closer. I felt its breath on my face, and then its lips, ohhh, [whimpering]...And then, in the morning, I felt so weak. It seemed as if all the life had been drained out of me."

"Dracula, he...He came to me. He opened his veins in his arms and he made me drink."

"Lofty timbers, the walls around are bare, echoing to our laughter as though the dead were there... Quaff a cup to the dead already, hooray for the next to die!"

"The story of the strangest passion the world has ever known!"
