Quotes 

• Sister Agatha : Ah, the beast revealed, ravenous for blood and stinking of grave dirt, the sophisticated gentleman nothing more than a veneer.

  Dracula : The sophistication of a gentleman, Agatha, is always a veneer.

• Duchess Valeria : You're very wicked.

  Dracula : It has been said.

• Dracula : I love science. Science is the future, Agatha.

  Sister Agatha : And yet you still fear the cross?

  Dracula : Of course I do. Everyone does, that's the problem. It's not a symbol of virtue and kindness, it's a mark of horror and oppression. Your idiot church has terrorised the peasant population for centuries, and I have been imbibing the blood of those same peasants for so long I have absorbed their fear of the cross. My God, I can't wait to eat some atheists.

• Duchess Valeria : I'm afraid I'm very careful with what I eat.

  Dracula : Me too.

• Sister Agatha : You went to the dining room. You don't eat food.

  Dracula : I enjoy company, and I like people.

  Sister Agatha : Then why do you kill them?

  Dracula : Why do you pick flowers?

• Dracula : And I made a good detective, don't you think? I have a particular gift for eliminating suspects.

• Lord Ruthven : One can have too much of a good thing.

  Dracula : Ah, on the contrary. I've always found that too much is exactly enough.

• Sister Agatha : You can't control yourself in the presence of blood. It's not just sustenance, it's an addiction.

  [Dracula just smiles] 

  Sister Agatha : You're smiling.

  Dracula : After 400 years, it's nice to be understood.

• Adisa : What do you want?

  Dracula : Ah, what I always want: something to eat, a bit of company.

• Dracula : One learns to keep a tidy slaughterhouse.

• Dorabella : Should newly married ladies really be conversing on... intimate matters with handsome strangers?

  Dracula : I see no harm in it - unless it happens to be a dangerous handsome stranger.

  Dorabella : And you dangerous?

  Dracula : Yes. I am terribly dangerous.

  Dorabella : [giggles]  Like one of those exotic noblemen one reads about in the novels, all filled with all the mystery and wickedness of the East.

  Dracula : Yes.

• Dracula : Keep looking at the moon. I've no wish to disturb you. It spoils the flavor.

• Sister Agatha : Is there much point in menacing a cabin boy?

  Dracula : I'm a fool for youth and beauty.

• Lord Ruthven : It's my understanding that a vampire is blessed with eternal life.

  Dracula : Mine too, but it does take rather a long time to be sure.
