Count Dracula

edit
  • Renfield, your sole purpose in life is to serve me. Now, let's eat!
  • You know, I don't ask for much, Renfield. Just the blood of a few dozen innocent people.
  • Everything you said about the modern world is true. It is a dangerous place. Only not for us. For them, it's a dangerous, sad, broken place full of fear and desperation. It's weak. Looking for a powerful force to guide it, control it, dominate it. Like you. I mean, this entire society was designed for Renfields, by Renfields. So why should I have to adapt to it? It should have to adapt to me.
  • There are some experiences worse than death, Renfield. Such as spending the remaining years of your miserable life knowing all the depravity you've witnessed in the last century will be nothing compared to the the suffering I'm going to unleash on this world. The world you chose over mine. When I'm finished, the entire human race, everyone you cared about, will suffer. Because you betrayed me.

Renfield

  • I need to get out of a toxic relationship.
  • My boss, he's different.
  • And I just want a normal life again. But this modern world is a dangerous place.
  • Let me explain. My boss gave me this power. In return, I tend to his needs, including care, feeding.
  • I am enough. I deserve happiness. And I take full charge of my life today!

  • You're like the guy that gets the villain's post-mates.
  • I don't think you're such a bad guy. But you're never really gonna be free until you face him.
  • You know when something crazy happens and someone's like, "It's okay. I've seen way worse?" Everything I saw you do today is gonna be my "way worse."

Dialogue

edit
Dracula: I want happy couples, unsuspecting tourists, a handful of nuns, a... a busload of cheerleaders.
Renfield: [to himself] And I just want a normal life. A busload of cheerleaders?
Dracula: A busload of cheerleaders will get me back to full power like that. [snaps fingers]
Renfield: Do you mean female cheerleaders?
Dracula: Don't make it a sexual thing!
Renfield: No, no. I did not say it was.
Dracula: You know it's not the gender I'm concerned with. I eat boys, I eat girls. It's the purity!
Mark: What if you were to stop focusing on his needs, what would happen?
Renfield: He won't grow to full power.
Mark: Exactly. He won't grow to full power. What? That's so weird. Why would you phrase it like that? But, yes.
Renfield: I will no longer tolerate abuse. I deserve happiness!
Dracula: Let me explain something to you, okay? You deserve only suffering! I will unleash an army of death! Everyone you care about will suffer, because you betrayed me!
Rebecca: You get Dracula people to eat?
Renfield: I do other stuff too.
Rebecca: Like what? Wash his cape?
Renfield: No. It's dry-clean only.
Mark: Hi! You here for the meeting? Well, come on down!
Renfield: No! NO!
[a man dressed in all black with a cane and top hat enters the room]
Dracula: Some call me the Dark One. Others, the Lord of Death. To most, I am... Dracula!
Mark: Okay, obviously we dealing with a little bit more than narcissism here.
Tedward Lobo: Do you know who the fuck I am? I'm Teddy fucking Lobo.
Dracula: I am Count Dracula.
Tedward Lobo: You win.
Dracula: Some call me the dark one; others, the lord of death. To most, I am simply known as...
Trevante: Renfield's boss!
Dracula: Whatever pain Renfield caused you, I will return ten thousand fold. I will unleash an army of death whilst warming my skin next to mountains of burning corpses. How does that sound to you?
Tedward Lobo: It sounds like you got to meet my mom.
Rebecca: Did you cut that guy's hands off with a serving platter?
Renfield: It's all in the wrist.
Renfield: Any last wishes?
Dracula: I wish... to spend a season in Hell. Where all the amusing people are. HAIL... SATA--
[Renfield and Rebecca hack and dismember him with the Lobo family's weapons, shoot the pieces, douse them in poison and holy water, encase them in concrete and pour them into the sewers]
Renfield: [narrating] Yes, I know this looks extreme - and maybe a little fun - but to our defence, there is so much folklore out there about how to actually kill a vampire, it gets confusing. You know, I've personally seen him come back from some crazy shit, so why not try everything? Now, I've not even 100% sure this will kill him. But I do know it will take him a long, long time to come back from.
