Quotes 

• Dracula : I knew the future would bring wonders. I did not know it would make them ordinary.

• Dracula : Please avert your eyes. I, um... have to murder a child.

• Zoe Helsing : Does it bother you that the man who engaged your firm in 1896 is standing over there without a single grey hair?

  Dracula : Oh, thank you.

• Dracula : Dying is the only remaining novelty. Every other human experience is catalogued somewhere in your endless chattering libraries. Nothing comes fresh. Every living instant is shop-soiled and secondhand except that one moment in life that no one can report back on. In a world of travelled roads, death is the last unprinted snow.

  Lucy : You don't half talk a lot of shit.

• Kathleen : What's the state of him?

  Dracula : He's downstairs.

  Kathleen : Drunk?

  Dracula : Well, that's certainly one way of putting it.

• Lucy : Why always a graveyard?

  Dracula : I like to spend time with people my own age.

• Dracula : Bob's in the fridge. Took a bit of... of folding.

• Dracula : [appraising Zoe's companion]  How kind of you, bringing a bottle to the party. Very inferior vintage, but the gesture is appreciated.

  Zoe Helsing : Put him down.

  Dracula : Why?

  Zoe Helsing : This is England. Conversation precedes dinner.

• Dracula : Killing is healthy competition. Mercy is disrespect.

• Lucy : Are they vampires?

  Dracula : Nothing so evolved. They're just undead. The unfortunate few who remain sentient as they rot.

• Dracula : I've always approved of inherited power. Democracy is the tyranny of the uninformed. Only in blood do we find the truth, Zoey.

• Dracula : There are many advantages to being a vampire, but it does make it hard to be a morning person.

• Dracula : Also, thank you for your offer of food; however, it is not my practice to eat cattle. In the matter of blood, I'm a connoisseur. Blood is lives. Blood is testimony. The testimony of everyone I've ever destroyed flows in my veins. I will choose with care who joins them now.

• Zoe Helsing : You're killing me.

  Dracula : It doesn't have to hurt.

• Zoe Helsing : You don't look very surprised.

  Dracula : You don't look very dead.

  Zoe Helsing : I'm getting there.

• Dracula : I've acquired some of your husband's memories. I think you would say that I've downloaded them.

  Kathleen : How?

  Dracula : Orally.

• Dracula : Blood is everything you need to know, Zoe, if you understand how to read it. Have you worked out how yet?
