• Waitress : [to Mamuwalde]  Hi! What'll you have?

  Mamuwalde : Make it a Bloody Mary.

• Luva : Mamuwalde is the crystallisation of our people's pride.

  Mamuwalde , Luva : My Luva... she does me too much credit. But notwithstanding, my people are eager to bring our ancient culture into the community of nations.

  Dracula : That may take a good deal of time.

  Mamuwalde : It will at least be time well spent, as opposed to an exchange of banalities with pseudo-intellectuals and dilettantes.

• Dracula : Totally cease the slave trade? I find that unrealistic. Slavery has merit, I believe.

  Mamuwalde : Merit? You find merit in barbarity?

  Dracula : Barbarous from the standpoint of the slave, perhaps. Intriguing and delightful from mine. I would willingly pay for so beautiful an addition to my household as your delicious wife.

  Mamuwalde : Sir, are you ill?

  Dracula : Oh, I meant no insult, Prince. It is a compliment for a man of my station to look with desire on one of your color.

• Mamuwalde : Sir, I suddenly find your cognac as distasteful as your manner.

• Juanita Jones : Shit! You ain't hurt, man, but you lucky. Chasing tail could get you killed, you know.

  Mamuwalde : I lost her because of you. Imbecile!

  Juanita Jones : Imbecile? Who the hell are you calling an imbecile? You the nut that ran in front of my cab. You the only imbecile on this street - boy!

• Mamuwalde : But enough about death. Here's to - life.

• Tina : To happiness.

  Mamuwalde : To happiness - forever.

• Mamuwalde : Perhaps he wasn't dead.

  Dr. Gordon Thomas : What the hell does that mean? He was as dead as you can get. I examined him myself.

  Mamuwalde : Just a passing thought.

• Mamuwalde : You are my Luva recreated.

• Mamuwalde : I have lived again to lose you twice.

• Mamuwalde : You must come to me freely, with love - or not at all. I will not take you by force.

• Mamuwalde : There's still time. All time belongs to us.

• Mamuwalde : We can't ignore what the world characterises as the "black arts", can we?

• Mamuwalde : We are of the Abani tribe, you and I, northeast of the Niger Delta. Our people are renowned as hunters. Almost two centuries ago, the ruling elders of my people sent me, yes, and my bride to Europe on a mission to protest the slave trade.

  Tina : The slave trade?

  Mamuwalde : On that mission, I myself was enslaved, my wife murdered, and I was placed under the curse of the undead. Our assassin was the vampire Count Dracula.
