Michael Nouri: Count Dracula

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Count Dracula : [narrating]  Spring - the time of rebirth.

I dispatched my disciples with the hope that they would deliver word to me of Van Helsing's breathless slump.

  Count Dracula : What seems to be the trouble officer?

  Motorcycle Cop : You ran that light back there going like a bat out of hell.

  Count Dracula : That light was yellow. I know the color red when I see it.

  Motorcycle Cop : Now you guys get one of these $20,000 jobs, you think you own us all - body and soul.

  Mary Gibbons : No... it can't be. I got away!
