Countess Dracula

Come on.

Sorry.

The bailiff summoned him.

It was the Count's wish that he should be here for the will.

Amen.

Countess, your husband promised me work.

Be off! Away with you!

My wife and boys are starving!

In God's name, he promised!

He promised!

Down! Get off there! Get off!

They've run over Janos!

- Father! - Come on!

Well, come on. What are you waiting for?

Yah! Yah!

Father!

Devil woman!

Devil! Devil!

Go on.

Now, before we proceed to business, may I present Imre Toth,

the son of your husband's late friend General Toth.

The Countess Elisabeth Nádasdy.

Captain Dobi, the steward of the castle.

Master Fabio, the historian.

And the Countess's companion, Julie.

The one person not yet arrived is Ilona,

the Countess's daughter.

Her father sent for her when he knew he was dying,

but, alas, too late...

Yes, yes. Let's get on with it.

Please.

"The last will and testament of Count Ferenc Nádasdy.

To Captain Dobi...

I bequeath my arms and uniforms."

"To Julie Szentes,

1,000 koronas

and food and lodging in my home for the rest of her days.

To Master Fabio, my library."

"To Imre Toth,

son of my dearest friend and army companion,

who fought gallantly with me

and saved my life on more than one occasion,

I bequeath my famous stable

with all the horses and the cottage.

To my beloved wife, Elisabeth...

my fortunes and estates t...

to be divided equally with our only child, Ilona."

Well, we must respect his wishes.

- That concludes the main... - Countess, I must apologize...

for my late arrival.

My horse lost a shoe.

Well, now you have all the horseshoes you'll need... and the horses.

Since we are new neighbors,

doubtless we shall see much of each other.

The honor will be mine.

"...half a kilo of tobacco yearly.

Sendrey family, 5 forint extra money monthly

and my cottage..."

You wish to see these famous stables?

- Indeed. - Ah, come this way.

"...5 forint extra money monthly.

And to Miklós Sendrey,

one of my ivory pipes with half a kilo of tobacco yearly."

It seems you've inherited a fine library.

Oh, the best in the land.

You cannot imagine my delight. This way.

And you, my friend... you, too, I feel are a scholar.

Oh, I don't know. I try to read as much as I can.

What was she carrying?

A pan of coals...

the solace of widows and lonely ghouls.

It makes cold beds hot.

Cold beds hot.

It makes cold beds hot.

But there are worse places to live, and when Ilona returns...

Has she been away long?

Since she was 6 years old.

They sent her to Vienna to escape the dreaded Turks.

But I'm told that God has favored her. She's a great beauty.

20 years as steward of this castle, protector of his lady,

and what do I get for it?

Two suits of armor and a trunk full of old uniforms.

Ha!

What did you expect?

You think he was a fool?

You're quite right, of course.

Who am I to complain,

when in truth he has left me the greatest prize of all.

I did not realize I was bequeathed to you.

Well, you're free now.

To choose whom I please.

You wish me to burn myself, wench?!

Quickly, cold water!

Have I a rival? Our new neighbor, perhaps?

Countess, I've loved you for 20 years. I've waited patiently for this day.

Please go. I wish to take my bath.

Leave me.

It's cooler now, madam.

Cooler?

Peel me a peach.

What are you trying to do, turn my room into a pigsty?

My hands are burned!

Oh, get out!

Go!

Dobi!

Julie!

It's the blood, the girl's blood.

Bring her to me.

What do you want with her?

Bring the girl to me!

Please.

Oh, find some other amusement for yourself. Excuse me!

Julie...

Julie, you'll help me.

You'll help me, Julie.

All right, I'll fetch her myself.

Take me to her room, now!

Now!

Don't be frightened.

Ring-a-ring o' roses

A pocket full of posies

A-tishoo! A-tishoo!

We all fall down!

Ring-a-ring o' roses

A pocket full of posies

A-tishoo! A-tishoo!

We all fall down!

She went up to the Countess's room last night,

and that's the last I saw of her.

Her bed isn't slept in.

Oh, Captain...

Have you seen my daughter, Teri, the Countess's chambermaid?

She's disappeared.

I'm so worried.

How should I know where she is?

Try the whorehouse.

She'd never do that. She's a pure girl.

He'd know if she was in the whorehouse.

Dobi! Julie!

What have you done?

Oh, Dobi.

- Where is she? - Who?

The girl, your chambermaid.

Look at me, Dobi.

Look at me.

And what will your daughter say?

She arrives tomorrow...

and she'll find you as young as she is.

Will she?

Come on, you! Out!

Oh! Let me go!

Let me go!

Take her.

Oh, you beast!

- Here! - Let me go!

Oh, please!

Please, let me go!

Oh, there you are.

Oh, are you satisfied?

As you are with your library.

- Come, ride with me. - No.

No, no, no. The creatures terrify me.

But I brought you a map for fear of losing you.

Oh, thank you.

And the Countess would deem it a pleasure

if you would dine with us tonight.

Don't look so miserable. The fair Ilona arrived at dawn.

I haven't seen her yet. She's been closeted with her mother.

I'm persuaded.

We dine at 7:00.

Bye!

How do I look?

Do you think our new neighbor will find me irresistible?

Oh! Is there anyone who can resist you?

Oh, Julie!

We're in luck.

The Countess is overcome with the reunion with her daughter

and will take dinner in her room.

Oh, good. And the daughter?

Oh, she'll be down.

Well, you two have met, I believe.

My dear, young lady. Do you remember me?

My dear Master Fabio.

Have I changed so much?

As a flower changes from bud to bloom...

past recognition.

Oh, this is my young friend Imre Toth.

My mother has spoken of you.

I believe your father and mine were the closest of friends.

Your mother, I hope she's not too unwell.

Oh, merely fatigued.

She wishes us to remove her from our minds

and to enjoy ourselves this evening.

Shall we eat, then?

That is your mother's chair.

Ah, yes, of course.

Don't you remember any of your life here?

Oh, yes, many things.

One story in particular.

The day of my departure...
