Nadja edit
- Life is full of pain, my pain is the pain of fleeting joy.
- We have come for the body of Count Voivoida Armenios Ceauşescu Dracula. I believe there is a wooden stake in the heart. You will take us to him.
- At the morgue. And possibly a reference to Nicolae Ceauşescu the leader of communist Romania overthrown a few years earlier.
Van Helsing edit
- He was like Elvis in the end. Drugged, confused, surrounded by zombies.
- Describing the Count. See wikipedia on Elvis Presley.
- He tried to change, tried to resist the usual pattern. He managed to show some restraint. But she, she died in childbirth. [...] And after that he didn't care about anything. It was back to basics.
- Describing the Count. Back to basics could have been read by British audiences as a reference to that policy of the Conservative Party the previous year, and a derogatory reference given the context. But this could have been accidental, given the film was an American production.)
Dialogue edit
- Nadja (holding Lucy's pet tarantula Bela): What does he eat?
- Lucy: Potatoes. Potato salad. Deer[?]. I tried to teach him French but he wasn't interested.
- Nadja: Maybe he has a learning disability.
- "Deer" is hard to hear, maybe "Beer".
