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?
