LONDON
LATE EVENING
Carfax District Lunatic Asylum
Renfield's Cell
RENFIELD: I've done everything that you asked, Master Dude. All the preparations are in order. (He reaches for a fly on
the ceiling.) I await your command for I know that, when the
rewards are given, I will be one of those who benefits from your coolness. (He eats the fly). Thank you.
THE NEXT MORNING
The Law Firm of Hawkins and Thompkins
Ms. Hawkins speaks with law clerk Jonathan Harker
HAWKINS: Gone mad. Renfield is deranged. He's completely out of his tiny little mind, poor chap. I want you to take over
for his foreign client, this rather freaky Count Dracula. He's buying up property around London.
HARKER: Of course, dude. I will tend to Count Freaky. Thank you for this opportunity to prove myself.
HAWKINS: Yes, this is a great opportunity for you, Harker, but you will have to leave for Transylvania immediately.
Strike while the iron is hot.
HARKER: No problemo. So, what in fact happened to Mr. Renfield in Transylvania?
HAWKINS: Why, nothing happened to Renfield in Transylvania, Harker. He simply has issues. Close these transactions
and your future with this firm is assured. Benefits and all.
HARKER: Thank you, thank you! Finally, I will be able to get my teeth fixed.
HAWKINS: That's right, Harker, no more Big Book of British Smiles for you!
KENT
THE NEXT MORNING
The Garden at Hillingham Estate (Faversham, Kent)
Harker speaks with fiancee Mina Murray
MINA: We've waited this long, haven't we? I mean, except for that one time. And then when I was drunk....
HARKER: We'll get married when I get back.
MINA: Of course we will.
HARKER: I'll write.
MINA: Of course you will.
HARKER: I swear!
MINA: Jonathan, Jonathan, I love you, you big, hunky, stud of a man, you.
HARKER: I love you, Mina. Mostly.
They kiss goodbye, with some minor groping.
