Count Dracula:
I expect you are anxious to return to England.
Jonathan Harker:
I should like to start back soon, it's true.
Count Dracula:
Very well. Write a letter to your friends, saying that you have already left the Castle and arrived at Bistritz, where you are awaiting the weekly express.
Jonathan Harker:
[suspiciously]
May I ask with what object, sir?
Count Dracula:
The posts are few, and uncertain. Writing now will ease the minds of Mister Hawkins and your fiancee.
Jonathan Harker:
Count Dracula.
Count Dracula:
Yes?
Jonathan Harker:
I have been struck by a curious fact.
Count Dracula:
Yes?
Jonathan Harker:
I've not seen a single servant since I've been here. Yet my meals are served. My bed is made. Tell me, are we alone in the Castle?
Count Dracula:
Alone? How could one be alone in this castle? In its most the past, the *living* past is present, surrounding us.
Jonathan Harker:
That does *not* answer my question, sir. I've been here for three weeks and have not once stepped outside the Castle.
Count Dracula:
I would gladly have shown you the countryside if you had expressed a wish to do so.
Jonathan Harker:
When would we have gone? In the dead of night? I've never set eyes on you during the day.
Count Dracula:
I have a large estate to manage.
Jonathan Harker:
Nor have I seen you eat.
Count Dracula:
I eat alone.
Jonathan Harker:
[getting visibly upset]
And who would have driven the coach?
Count Dracula:
[maintains calm]
My driver.
Jonathan Harker:
You are lying, Count Dracula.
Count Dracula:
You are losing your temper, Mister Harker.
Jonathan Harker:
[calming down]
Who took me back to my room last night?
Count Dracula:
Back to your room? What do you mean?
Jonathan Harker:
I slept by mistake in the library. I witnessed a... a nightmare, and woke up in my bed! How did I get there?
Count Dracula:
Am I to be held responsible for a vivid imagination?
