"(THUNDERCLAP)" "I've never before had the opportunity of entertaining personages from the, er... 'dark continent'." "I hope the reception was not boring for you and your lovely wife." "Quite the contrary, Count Dracula." "The evening has been a splendid one, and we've found your guests to be most impressive." "I liked in particular your Dr Duvalier." "It was you who impressed him." "Mamuwalde is the crystallisation of our people's pride." "My Luva... she does me too much credit." "But notwithstanding, my people are eager to bring our ancient culture into the community of nations." "That may take a good deal of time." "It will at least be time well spent, as opposed to an exchange of banalities with pseudo-intellectuals and dilettantes." "Charming." "What with dignitaries of your stature lending the weight of your statesmanship to the fulfillment of our objectives," "I believe we will succeed." "Luva?" "To totally cease the slave trade?" "I find that unrealistic." "Slavery has merit, I believe." "Merit?" "You find merit in barbarity?" "Barbarous from the standpoint of the slave, perhaps." "Intriguing and delightful from mine." "I would pay for so beautiful an addition to my household as your delicious wife." "Sir, are you ill?" "Oh..." "I meant no insult, prince." "It is a compliment for a man of my station to look with desire on one of your colour." "Sir, I suddenly find your cognac as... distasteful as your manner." "You're behaving like some animal." " Really?" " Really." "Let us not forget, sir, it is you who comes from the jungle." "Our evening is finished." "I bid you arouse your coachman." "We are leaving." "I do not think so."

"I shall place a curse of suffering on you that will doom you to a living hell." "A hunger, a wild, gnawing, animal hunger will grow in you, a hunger for human blood." "Here you will starve for an eternity, torn by an unquenchable lust." "I curse you with my name." "You shall be..." "Blacula!" "A vampire like myself, a living fiend, you will be doomed never to know that sweet blood which will become your only... desire." "(SOBS) No!" "You will watch, helpless and dying, until the black flesh rots from your bones." "Listen... for his cries." "They will comfort you until your death." "(LAUGHS)" "No!" "Let me out!" "(WHIMPERS) Help." "Oh, help." "Mamuwalde." "Dracula?" "But he is dead, gentlemen." "Quite dead." "He and his entire household were destroyed by the great Dr Van Helsing almost 150 years ago." "Oh, what a pity." "I've never met a vampire." "You should have told us whose house this was in the village." "Yeah, honey, now, wait." "This is gonna change our deal drastically." "Oh, I see." "Well, I can assure you, gentlemen, it is quite safe now." "The reports of the count were grossly exaggerated." "Perhaps if I subtract another ten percent?" " Fifteen." " Very well." "Consider your deal closed." "We'll take everything." "You gentlemen had me worried there for a moment." " If you please." " I'd love to." " Right here." " OK, great." "You are obviously not attuned to the antique market." "You see, where we come from, honey, the legend of Dracula... that's the absolute créme de la créme of camp!" "We're gonna get a fortune for these things." "Count Dracula was no legend." " He was terribly real." " Oh, I know." "I've seen all of his movies." "I'm a real fan." "Don't shock the poor man, Billy." "Hey, is there anything else?" "Like secret passages and things like that?" "Yes." "When the castle was restored a few years ago, they found several hidden rooms." "Eugh, it smells terrible in here." "Billy, look at this!" "Fantastic." "Oh, this is gorgeous." "Look at this, Bobby." "Honey, this is the coup d'état of the century." "Is this included in our deal, or are you gonna fleece us now?" "You ain't gonna fleece us, are you, baby?" "Well, if you want it..." "I can't wait to start tagging all these goodies." "We're gonna be rich, my love." "Bobby, man, I can't see in here." "I'm gonna light one of the greasy lamps." "Ta-dah!" "If the fire department could see you now, you silly lamp queen." " Oh, this." "I'm dying to open this!" " I'm not." "Look, I have a fantastic idea for this." "You'll probably die if I tell you." "In that case, spare me." "Let's get on with the tagging." "Listen!" "You know that chintzy guest bed in the living room?" " Yeah." " How about this instead?" "A coffin?" "It'll freak everyone out." "Open it." "Oh, Bobby!" " Look what I've done!" " What the hell did you do?" " What did you do?" "Let me see." " Ouch." " Don't panic." "Wait to see it." " Oh!" "Argh!" "Please stop." "Hold this there." "Let me... oh..." " Bobby, hurry." "It's bleeding." " Just a second!" "You're so dizzy." "That's the trouble." " Put it up here." " Just a second." "Stop it!" "If you weren't so dizzy..." " Ohh." " Stop that whining." "Look at me." " Move your hand." " That's tight." "I'm not a nurse, you know." "All right?" "Would you stop it, please?" " Take care." "It's twisted." " I'll take care of it." "I'm gonna bleed to death." "You're gonna bleed to death if you don't keep your mouth shut!" "Keep quiet." "You make me nervous." "Bobby, I'll die." "I'm bleeding to death!" "Would you stop it, please?" "Child, be still!" "Stop!" "What's wrong with you?" "That isn't tight enough." "The blood's seeping through." "(GROWLING)" "Bobby, look... (GROWLS)" "Bobby!" "Bobby!" "(BOBBY SCREAMS)" "(SCREAMING STOPS)" "No..."

"These things are always so very tragic, but I can perhaps be of some comfort to you in this hour of need." "This is one of our smaller rooms, but it can be expanded to accommodate any number of mourners." "Why is his hand like that?" "This sometimes happens." "It's only a reflex." "At his mother's request, the body has not yet been embalmed." "I'll just tidy him up a bit, then leave you alone with your thoughts." "Poor Bobby." "We've known him since we were kids." "Luva." "I just don't understand it." "I hope you can find some answers for us, Gordon." "Why don't you two go on over to Bobby's mother's house?" "She's in pretty bad shape." "I'll stay here." "Let's go." " Talk to you later." " All right." "Did I startle you, sir?" "I'm so sorry, but I can't let you disarrange..." "I'm Dr Thomas with the Scientific Investigation Division." "Of course." "I'm so sorry, doctor." "I didn't realise you were a professional man." "I worked very hard on that neck wound, trying to make it look as natural as I could so it wouldn't be offensive to his loved ones." "The flesh was torn right out in a big chunk." "I've never seen a rat bite that size before." " Rat bite?" " Yes, sir." "How deep was the wound before it was repaired?" "I don't know." "Two or three inches at least." " Two or three inches?" " Yes, sir." "Any other bruises or wounds?" "A slight abrasion on the left elbow, probably the result of a fall." "And you say you didn't embalm?" "Yes, sir." "It's strange." "That is strange." "Look at this." "His veins are empty." "They collapse with pressure and don't return to shape, and he wouldn't be this colour unless he'd lost a lot of blood." "Who brought him in?" "I did." "Picked him up at the coroner's office." "Did they mention... much bleeding?" "I can't say as they did, doctor." "What about the other victim, his associate?" "I didn't prepare that one." "He was white." "I don't get many whites in here." " Thank you for your help." " Glad to be of service." "Any time you need my help, don't hesitate to ask." "I'm at your service, doctor." "That's my job... (DOOR CLOSES) ...doctor." "That is the rudest nigger I've ever seen in my life." "Everything's just so strange, Michelle." "I know." "Listen, would you mind if I begged off?" "You can handle Mrs McCoy on your own." "I'm just really beat." "Go on home." "I'll just stop by and see if she needs anything." " Thanks." " See you later." "OK."

"You the nut that ran in front of my cab." "You the only imbecile on this street... boy!" "You'll find her." "She's got to be round here somewhere." "I bet you she's worried right now and lookin' for you, so why don't you just back off of me and go get her?" "I bet she's worried to death about you." "I bet she's called every hospital around."

"I got a call from the coroner's office to check on Juanita Jones." " You want to see her?" " That's why I'm here." "Thought you worked nights." "Everybody takes a vacation but me." "There she is, doc." "Fine job for a woman, running a cab." "You ask me, she's looking for something." "You know what I mean..." ""looking for something"?" "Yes." "Sam, get me a cup of coffee, will you?" "All right, I can take a hint." "(CHUCKLES)" "Nah, that's ridiculous." "Jack, I'm beginning to take this personally." "I'm tellin' ya, your men lost the report on Bobby McCoy and Billy Schaffer." "Lost, my ass." "Maureen." " Yes, lieutenant." " Get the division reports on... who?" "Bobby McCoy, Billy Schaffer." "From two nights ago." " Southwest Division." " Right, lieutenant." "Tell me something, man." "Off the record, of course." "Yeah?" "Who checked the two bodies?" "In that area, it should be Watson." " Yeah, Watson." " Is that the guy that... (CHUCKLES) ...called cyanide poisoning "heart failure"?" "I'm getting tired of that kind of talk." "Division says those reports were lost before distribution." "They said Dr Thomas' office called this morning about them." "The sergeant told Dr Thomas' secretary he couldn't find them." "Thanks, Maureen." "Thank you." "So it wasn't my lack of pull at headquarters." "Strange how so many sloppy police jobs involve black victims." "You're getting paranoid." "Schaffer wasn't black." "We'll find them." "I'll send Barnes over." " Yes, lieutenant?" " Get Barnes in here." "Look, what's going on?" "I see where you've ordered an autopsy on Bobby McCoy today, and Juanita Jones is scheduled for one on Friday." "What's going on?" "What's the connection?" "Did you want me, lieutenant?" "Hello, doc." "Get to the Southwest Division and find the reports on Bobby McCoy and Billy Schaffer, will you?" "Sure, lieutenant." "What's goin' on?" "Do it." "You've got something." "What is it?" " When I know, I'll tell you." " Does it look organised?" "There's been a lot of Panther activity lately." "Panthers?" "Come on, Jack, don't cop out." "Two faggot interior decorators and a lady cabdriver?" "Panthers?" "Oh, come on!" "Anything is possible." "If it's possible, tell Barnes to bring those reports to the club tonight." "It's Michelle's birthday." "Have a good time." "(PHONE RINGS)" " Hello?" " 'This is Dr Thomas.'" "Yes, Dr Thomas." "Mr Swenson, we're gonna need to do an autopsy on Bobby McCoy." "I'll send for the body sometime this afternoon." "That's impossible." "The family's here now." "I can't just throw them out." "Of course, Mr Swenson." " What time do you close tonight?" " 'Eight o'clock.'" "All right, I'll have my men there a little bit after 8:00." " They must be careful." " They will be, Mr Swenson." " All right, then." " Thanks." "By the way, we had some excitement ourselves last night." "Tina got hassled on the way home." " Is she all right?" " She didn't go to work today." "We're having the locks changed." "She thinks he got her purse." "Next year, we move to the suburbs." "Mm-hm." "Like we did last year!" "There he is again" "And he's making my heart skip another beat" " Now he's a-movin' in" " Watch out, baby" "Yeah, he's self-assured like he was before" "And I know he thinks I want him more and more" "And I know he thinks I want him" "More and more" "Oh, hey hey" "So to myself I say" "Look the other way when he comes by you" "Look the other way when he comes by you" "Look the other way when he" "Comes by you..."

"Good." "So do I." "Tina, where did you find your purse?" "Mamuwalde returned it to me." "Thank you again." "You bear an amazing resemblance to my wife, whom I lost a short while ago." "I'm very sorry." "I loved her very much." "When you left the mortuary, I had to follow you." "I didn't consider that I might frighten you." "You were at Swenson's." "Were you a friend of Bobby's?" "No, I was there making some arrangements of my own." "But enough about death." "Here's to..." "life." " On your birthday." " Thank you." "Happy birthday, baby." " To happiness."

"Don't touch anything!" "I'm gonna catch ya, baby" "Wait and see" "Hey, hey, hey" "Yes, I like what kind of line you got for me" "You told me you were going to score" "I found that I was due to be your amour" "Well, all right" "You wanted me to go for that" "Girl, let's stay at home..." "Look at that face." "What happened?" "That was Swenson." "Bobby's body just disappeared." " That's impossible." " Perhaps he wasn't dead." "What the hell does that mean?" "He was as dead as you can get." "I examined him myself." "Just a passing thought." "What's happening?" "How's everybody?" "How you doin'?" "My name is Skillet." "How's everything?" "Let's pull up a seat here and get some of this here..." " Join the party." " ...champagne." " Help yourself." " French champagne!" "We gonna be gone." "Happy birthday, Michelle."

" One strange dude." "I gotta check this cat out again." "Did you see the rags he had on?" "That's a bad cape." "I'd like to beat him out of that cape." "Will you meet me here tomorrow evening?" "I need very much to see you." "I'll be here." "Beautiful!" "I think romance is in the air." " Hey, baby." " Tina, you all right?" "Sure." "Mama, how come you never look at me that way?" "There's a reason, Skillet." "I guess we're through, so I'll take these prints, run over to my studio, develop these, and be right back." "Mama, don't you want a little company?" "No, thanks." "I know what would develop with you in a darkroom." " It wouldn't be my pictures." " Right on, baby." "I hear ya." "(DOOR CREAKS)" "Yeah?" "Hey..." "Wait a minute."

"We are of the Abani tribe, you and I, northeast of the Niger Delta." "Our people are renowned as hunters." "Almost two centuries ago, the ruling elders of my people sent me, yes, and my bride to Europe on a mission to protest the slave trade." "The slave trade?" "On that mission, I myself was enslaved, my wife murdered, and I was placed under the curse of the undead." "Our assassin was the vampire Count Dracula." "Count Dracula is a myth." " He wasn't real."

"Lovely." "Great headlines." "That should get us mass hysteria." "Forget hysteria." "Mass unemployment, starting with me." "We'd better swamp the city with police, cars on every corner."

"Are you into the occult?" "It has some fascination." "How about the heavy stuff?" "Witchcraft, voodoo... devil worship." "Well, we can't ignore what the world characterises as the "black arts", can we?" "I think that there's some truth in all of it." "I've come to that conclusion myself." " What do you think of vampires?" " Vampires?" "They're possibly the most fascinating of all." "Do you... believe they exist?" "Does the devil exist?" "People have believed so for thousands of years." "You seem well informed." "Oh, perhaps." "The police have a theory about these killings." "Are we to assume that they believe a vampire or some other such creature is responsible?" "A vampire." "Fascinating." "However, many in the department don't believe it." "I would think that to be the vampire's greatest defence." "You're right." "Still, they're organising a search." "Search?" "Yeah, find his resting place, a vampire's coffin." "Perhaps the modern vampire doesn't require a coffin." "They are rather elusive, you know." "What's happening, everybody?" "What's goin' on?" " Hey, Skillet." " How you doin'?" " How you doin', doc?" " What's happening?" "My darling, we really must be leaving now." "Tina, I wish you'd stay with us." "I'm sorry, but I'd rather go with Mamuwalde." "Say, Mamuwalde, let me buy that old cape from you, brother." "(MAMUWALDE LAUGHS)" "You know, he is a strange dude." "Ran off of me like he did Nancy the other night." "Anybody seen Nancy?" "No." "She didn't bring my birthday pictures back, either." "Haven't seen her since the other night." "Look here, brother." "When you do see her, tell Nancy that big Skillet has got something really groovy for her." "Mamuwalde." "He's with Tina!" "How could you be so blasé?" "What were you trying to prove?" "They mean nothing to me." "No one matters but you." "Hold me." "Just hold me." "Tina..." "Come with me tonight." "Stop!" "No, Mamuwalde!" "Please don't hurt him!" "No, no!" "Gordon, are you all right?" "Hold it, mister!" "(MAMUWALDE LAUGHS)" "You met him." "Who is he?" "God only knows." "He calls himself "Mamuwalde"." " Where does he hang out?" " Hang out?" "In a coffin around here somewhere." " Hi, babe." " Hi." " How is Tina?" " I don't know." "I tried to get her to lie down, but..." "Tina, you should still be resting." "I will." "What happened?"
