The Allure of Power and Obedience
Renfield
He came and stood below my window in the moonlight. And he promised me things, not in words, but by doing them.
Van Helsing
Doing them?
Renfield
By making them happen. A red mist spread over the lawn, coming on like a flame of fire! And then he parted it, and I could see that there were thousands of rats, with their eyes blazing red, like his, only smaller. Then he held up his hand, and they all stopped, and I thought he seemed to be saying: "Rats! Rats! Rats! Thousands! Millions of them! All red-blood! All these will I give you! If you will obey me!
Van Helsing
What did he want you to do?
Renfield
That which has already been done!
[giggles sinisterly]

A Mysterious Carriage at Borgo Pass
Renfield
Well, I'm sorry, but there's a carriage meeting me at Borgo Pass at midnight.
Innkeeper
Borgo Pass?
Renfield
Yes.
Innkeeper
Whose carriage?
Renfield
Count Dracula's.
Innkeeper
Count Dracula's?
Renfield
Yes.
Innkeeper
Castle Dracula?
[fearfully]
Renfield
Yes, that's where I'm going.
Innkeeper
To the castle?
Renfield
Yes.
Innkeeper
Nooo. You mustn't go there. We people of the mountains believe at the Castle there are vampires. Dracula and his wives - they take the form of wolves and bats. They leave their coffins at night and they feed on the blood of the living.
[tremulously]
Renfield
But that's all superstition. Why I, I can't understand why...
Innkeeper
Come, we must go indoors.
Renfield
It's a matter of business with me. I've got to go. Really. Well, goodnight.
Innkeeper's wife
Wait. Please. If you must go, wear this for your mother's sake. It will protect you.
