## Count Orlok

* [to young Ellen] You awakened me from an eternity of darkness. You... You... You are not for the living. You are not for humankind.
* [to Thomas] You are late. The midnight hour is passed and my attendants have all retired.
* [to Ellen] You are my affliction.

## Ellen Hutter

* Professor, my dreams grow darker. Does evil come from within us, or from beyond?
* It was our wedding, yet not in chapel walls. The scent of the lilacs was strong in the rain... and when I reached the altar, you weren't there... Standing before me, all in black... was... Death. But I was so happy, so very happy. We exchanged vows, we embraced, and when we turned round, everyone was dead. Father... and... everyone. The stench of their bodies was horrible... it overwhelmed the lilacs... and... But I had never been so happy as that moment... as I held hands with Death.
* Do you ever feel at times as if you're not a person? What I wish to say is that you're not truly present, nor alive, as if you're at the whim of another, like a dog. Someone or something had the power to breath life into you, to move you.

## Professor Albin Eberhart von Franz

* I have seen things in this world that would make Isaac Newton crawl back into his mother's womb! We have not become so much enlightened as we have been blinded by the gaseous light of science. I have wrestled with the Devil as Jacob wrestled the Angel in Penuel, and I tell you, if we are to tame darkness, we must first face that it exists! Meine Herren, we are here encountering the undead plague carrier... the vampyr... Nosferatu.

## Other

* Knock: His lordship likes the pretty ones best.
* Knock: She truly is beautiful. A non-parais, almost a... sylph.
* Anna Harding: Ellen, what is this insufferable darkness?

## Dialogue

    Thomas Hutter: I have-- My lord, I have questions about the, um... unfamiliar customs of the peasantry and the... errant wanderers. Last night, I saw... or rather, I believe I saw a band of gypsies, they... ventured to a small birch grove and--
    Count Orlok: I fear we yet keep close many superstitions here that may seem backward to a young man of your high learning.
    Thomas Hutter: These gypsies, they... exhumed a corpse.
    Count Orlok: It is their filthy ritual.
    Thomas Hutter: What manner of ritual?
    Count Orlok: SPEAK NOT OF IT AGAIN!
    Thomas Hutter: I have been enduring the most irregular dreams. I fear I have taken ill.
    Count Orlok: It is a black omen to journey in poor health. You will remain and well rest yourself.
    Thomas Hutter: I must object, my lord.
    Count Orlok: You will obey this, my counsel.
    Ellen Hutter: I have felt you... crawling like a serpent in my body.
    Count Orlok: It is not me. It is your own nature.
    Ellen Hutter: No. I love Thomas.
    Count Orlok: Love is inferior to you. I told you, you are not of humankind.
    Ellen Hutter: You are a villain to speak so.
    Count Orlok: I am an appetite, nothing more. O'er centuries, a loathsome beast, I lay within the darkest pit. 'Til you did wake me, enchantress, and stir me from my grave.
    Anna Harding: Our friendship is a precious balm to my heart. Forgive my chiding you.
    Ellen Hutter: Thank you for loving me.
