Dr. Edelman : What are you doing here? Who are you?
Count Dracula : I am Baron Latos. I have come to you for help.
Dr. Edelman : It's five o'clock in the morning.
Count Dracula : I must apologize for the intrusion. But travel is very difficult for me, and I've come a long way.
Dr. Edelman : I don't understand.
Count Dracula : Perhaps you will, after you've led me to the basement room of this castle.
Dr. Edelman : Eh - a very strange request. This castle is my home!
Count Dracula : Have no fear, doctor. Had conditions permitted, I would have presented myself in the usual manner.
Dr. Edelman : Well, it is most unusual...
Count Dracula : I will explain everything, before sunrise.

Dr. Edelman : Now, Mr. Talbot... You broke your promise to me, didn't you? Told the police. I don't like people who break their promises, Mr. Talbot.

Lawrence Talbot : Dr. Edelman, this thing destroyed Frankenstein. It's brought death to all who have tried to follow in his footsteps.

-
Count Dracula : Dr. Edelman, do you believe in the immortality of the soul?
Dr. Edelman : Naturally, being a religious man.
Count Dracula : Of the body?
Dr. Edelman : Medical science refutes such a thing.
Count Dracula : Just as it denies the existence of vampirism.
-
Count Dracula : Do you doubt the supernatural?
Dr. Edelman : I find it difficult to believe that a human being can change himself into a bat, or that by feeding upon the blood of the living he can obtain eternal life. But what has this discussion to do with us, Baron Latos?
Count Dracula : Perhaps a great deal, Doctor.
-
Dr. Edelman : Seigfried.
Siegfried : Yes, sir.
Dr. Edelman : I believe I know what you're afraid of.

Dr. Edelman : You're afraid of me.
Siegfried : Of you, sir?
Dr. Edelman : 'Cause if you weren't, you'd look at me, Seigfried.

Nina : Think what you're doing, Doctor. To bring him back again would unleash worse than murder upon humanity.
Dr. Edelman : That helpless body is man's responsibility.
Nina : Man's responsibility is to his fellow man.

Dr. Edelman : I'll operate tomorrow, Nina.
Nina : Then you must operate on Mr. Talbot. The moon will be full in a few days. We can't let him suffer again.
Dr. Edelman : But you - You've waited such a long time.
Nina : Then I can wait a little longer. It won't make any difference.
-
Dr. Edelman : Can man sit in judgment over life and death?
Nina : The evil he creates, he can also destroy.
Dr. Edelman : That would be murder.
