Donald PleasenceQuotes

Dr. Jack Seward: [sending a message to Van Helsing over the phone; hangs up the phone] Mina has died. No, not lied... died! Telegraph or come at once. Your dear friend on this saddest of occasions, Jack Seward. Yes, I do hope the professor gets it. That poor, poor man.

Lucy Seward: Poor Mina.

Jonathan Harker: Do you think it was her heart?

Lucy Seward: Or that pain in her head last light?

Dr. Jack Seward: I don't know. It's been so long since I've practiced real medicine.

Jonathan Harker: Well, what do you think killed her?

Dr. Jack Seward: Killed her? That's an odd word. Yet, there was no sign of disease.

Jonathan Harker: What about those marks on her neck?

Dr. Jack Seward: Marks on her neck? Perhaps she injured herself from fastening her shawl.

Lucy Seward: Oh, father, don't be absurd! You saw those wounds!

Dr. Jack Seward: Count, some wine? You haven't...

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

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".

Lucy Seward: Then you were right.

Count Dracula: No, with your permission and all due respect to Miss Van Helsing. Yes, I'm quite finished, thank you. There is a distinction, the words "not dead" carry the simple meaning.

Mina Van Helsing: Dead... undead... I don't care! They all frighten me!

Lucy Seward: Oh, I love to be frightened!

Count Dracula: Do you?

Narrator: [first lines] In the beginning was the word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. I am He. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him, was made nothing that has been made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of man. And the light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness grasped it not. The greatest story ever told...

King Herod: The child of imagination is the child I fear.

John the Baptist: [repeated line] Repent!

The Dark Hermit - Satan: A long climb, wasn't it? A long hard climb...You know, some people think the whole of life should be like that, hm..."An easy life is a sinful life". Not so, my friend...A man's life can be as easy as he wishes to make it. And it can be easy, my friend. If one knows the way to power and glory in this world.

Caiaphas: Jesus of Nazareth, your crimes are so many I scarcely know where to begin.

Pontius Pilate: [to Jesus] You claim to be the son of God. Which one? Mars? Hercules? Jupiter? Which God are you the son of?

The Centurion: [after Jesus dies] Truly, this man was the Son of God.

Dr. Sam Loomis: It's time, Michael.

Dr. Sam Loomis: I shot him six times! I shot him in the heart. This guy, this man, he's... HE'S NOT HUMAN!

Dr. Sam Loomis: Why don't you stay the night?

Tina Williams: Oh, sorry, I've got to run.

Dr. Sam Loomis: Tina, please.

Tina Williams: Stay away okay. You know you're really creepy, filling that little girl with all that bogeyman crap.

Dr. Sam Loomis: I believe that you're in danger. Jamie believes it too.

Tina Williams: Jamie is a 9-year-old girl.

Dr. Sam Loomis: Be sensible.

Tina Williams: [laughs; walks away] I'm never sensible if I can help it.

Dr. Sam Loomis: She was shaking, her whole body was shaking.

Sheriff Ben Meeker: Every time a little girl twitches I'm supposed to call out the national guard...

Dr. Sam Loomis: How many people did he kill last year? Have you forgotten? Your own daughter!

Sheriff Ben Meeker: [grabs Loomis] I don't...

Dr. Sam Loomis: [lifts up his hand] No of course you don't forget. How could you? You never looked into his face did you? You never saw his eyes. You never saw that, that nothing no expression, blank. My memory goes back 11 years to the night I offered... I'm gonna show you. Show you something, look. Look at this, look at that. I prayed that he would burn in Hell, but in my heart I knew that Hell would not have him.

Dr. Max Hart: Jamie, Jamie. Jamie,

Dr. Sam Loomis: No! No!

Dr. Max Hart: What are you doing?

Dr. Sam Loomis: Leave her.

Dr. Max Hart: This girl is dying; I have to open her trachea, for God's sake.

Dr. Sam Loomis: She will stabilize.

Dr. Max Hart: She's dying.

Dr. Sam Loomis: No...

Dr. Sam Loomis: Do you see?

Dr. Max Hart: I see you want this girl dead...

Dr. Sam Loomis: She has something to tell us.

Dr. Sam Loomis: [Yells] You've got to help me Jamie. You've got to help me find him. We both know he's alive. But you know where he is! Why? Why are you protecting him? What about you're stepmother Jamie? You love her, don't you? He made you stab her. You can't hide from him. He'll always get to you. Jamie, Jamie you listen. Today in the cemetery somebody dug up a coffin. It was the coffin of a 9 year old girl. What do you think he is going to do with that? Huh? You're 9 years old, aren't you, Jamie?

Nurse Patsey: Dr. Loomis! Leave the little girl alone.

Dr. Sam Loomis: Tears won't get you anywhere. Help me to find him. We'll find him together! There's a reason why he has this power over you. Did you ever wonder what it is?

Rachel Carruthers: [''Takes Jamie's hands''; ''Jamie nods''; ''They hug. There is a sudden crash. Loomis picks up a brick with a note taped to it. "The evil child must die!" it reads''] I'll be back in two days, okay? Mom and Dad send their love. How could they? When are they going to realize that she is not him? She's just a child.

Dr. Sam Loomis: They know that Michael Myers is her uncle and that she attacked her foster mother. That's why they fear her, especially on Halloween.

Rachel Carruthers: I never should have let my parents talk me into leaving. I don't know what I was thinking.

Dr. Sam Loomis: You're afraid.

Rachel Carruthers: I am not.

Dr. Sam Loomis: You're afraid the whole thing might start to happen again. There's nothing wrong with being afraid.

Rachel Carruthers: And I suppose there's nothing wrong with just leaving my little foster sister here alone?

Dr. Sam Loomis: You can telephone her from the cabin. She'll be properly looked after.

Dr. Sam Loomis: It will destroy you, too. One day. Michael, this rage which drives you... you think if you kill them all, it will go away. It won't. You have to fight it in the place where it's strongest...Where it all began! If you want to get rid of this rage, Michael, go home. Go home. Go to your house. I shall be there waiting for you. You'll find her waiting for you...
