Nosferatu Movie Quotes
Professor Albin Eberhart von Franz
I have seen things in this world that would make Isaac Newton crawl back into his mother's womb! We are not so enlightened as we are blinded by the gaseous light of science. I have wrestled with the Devil as Jacob wrestled the Angel in Penuel, and I tell you that if we are to tame darkness, we must first face that it exists!

Professor, my dreams grow darker. Does evil come from within us, or from beyond?

Ellen Hutter
I have felt you... crawling like a serpent in my body.
Count Orlok
It is not me. It is your own nature.
Ellen Hutter
No! I love Thomas.
Count Orlok
Love is inferior to you. I told you, you are not of Human kind.
Ellen Hutter
You are a villain to speak so!
Count Orlok
I am an appetite, nothing more.

I have been enduring the most irregular dreams. I fear I have taken ill.
Count Orlok
It is a black omen to journey in poor health. You will remain and well rest yourself.

I must object, My Lord.

You will obey this, my counsel.

Ellen Hutter
[sobbing]
Come to me. Come to me. A guardian angel. A spirit of comfort. Spirit of any celestial sphere. Anything. Hear my call.
[in her mind]
Ellen Hutter
Come to me.
[Ellen goes into a trance and approaches Count Orlok's silhouette]
Count Orlok
You wakened me from an eternity of darkness. You... You... You are not for the living. You are not for human kind. And shall you be one with me ever-eternally? Do you swear it?
Ellen Hutter
I swear...

Ellen Hutter
It was our wedding, yet not in chapel walls. The scent of the lilacs was strong in the rain... and when I reached the altar, you weren't there... Standing before me, all in black... was... Death. But I was so happy, so very happy. We exchanged vows, we embraced, and when we turned round, everyone was dead. Father... and... everyone. The stench of their bodies was horrible... it overwhelmed the lilacs... and... But I had never been so happy as that moment... as I held hands with Death.

You are a deceiver.

You deceive yourself.
Ellen Hutter
I was but an innocent child.
Count Orlok
And thought you I would not return? Thought you I would not? Your passion is bound to me.
Ellen Hutter
You cannot love.
Count Orlok
I cannot. Yet I cannot be sated without you.

Do you ever feel at times as if you're not a person? What I wish to say is that you're not truly present, nor alive, as if you're at the whim of another, like a dog. Someone or something had the power to breath life into you, to move you.

I am but an able tourist in this occult world. You were born to it. It is a rare gift.
Ellen Hutter
His pull to me is so powerful, so terrible, yet my spirit cannot be evil as his.
Professor Albin Eberhart von Franz
We must know evil to be able to destroy it. We must discover it within ourselves and when we have, we must crucify the evil within ourselves or there is no salvation.
Ellen Hutter
I need no salvation. My entire life I have done no ill but heed my nature.
Professor Albin Eberhart von Franz
Then harken to it. I fear Nosferatu is impervious to any of our iron stakes. I am convinced only you have the faculty to redeem us.

[Ellen is kneeling begging and clinging to Thomas' knees, suddenly she looks at him lasciviously]
You could never please me as he could.
[Thomas becomes enraged, picks her up in his arms and carries her to bed]
Ellen Hutter
Yes! Take me! Please. Please!
[They begin to have intercourse. She moans loudly]
Ellen Hutter
Yes! Kiss me. Kiss my heart. My heart. Let him see. Let him see our love.
Ellen Hutter
[Ellen's face changes and blood comes out of her mouth and eyes. Thomas walks away in fear. Ellen laughs maliciously and begins to convulse on the bed. Her face is normal again]
Without you, I will become a demon.
Thomas Hutter
Ellen. Ellen!
[Thomas approaches Ellen again and tries to bring her back to her senses]
Thomas Hutter
Ellen, it's me. Ellen. Ellen, I love you. I love you. You're safe with me. It's me. It's me.
[Thomas hugs her, she breaks down in tears]
Ellen Hutter
Keep away from me. I am unclean.
Thomas Hutter
Never.
Ellen Hutter
He will murder you if I do not go to him. We will be torn apart, and the world will be despair.
Thomas Hutter
No. I'll kill him. Kill him I will. He shall never harm you again. Never.

I've brought this evil upon us. I have never shared my secret with any soul. I sought company. I sought tenderness and I called out.
Thomas Hutter
What do you mean by this?
Ellen Hutter
At first, it was sweet. I had never known such bliss.
Thomas Hutter
Ellen.
Ellen Hutter
Yet it turned to torture. It would kill me. But, Thomas, it was you that gave me the courage to be free of my shame. You.
Thomas Hutter
What are you telling me?
Ellen Hutter
Don't you understand?
Thomas Hutter
Pray, help me to.
Ellen Hutter
He is my shame. He is my melancholy. He took me as his lover then, and now he has come back. He has discovered our marriage and has come back.
Thomas Hutter
Impossible.
Ellen Hutter
He stalks me in my dreams. All my sleeping thoughts are of him every night.

Thomas Hutter
After what you have just confessed, how...
Ellen Hutter
He told me about you. He told me how foolish you were. How fearful. How like a child. How you fell into his arms as a swooning lily of a woman.
Thomas Hutter
Ellen.
Ellen Hutter
He told me how you sold me to him for gold.
Thomas Hutter
No, I...
Ellen Hutter
Our love was supposed to be sacred!
Thomas Hutter
Ellen, please.
Ellen Hutter
You never listen! Well, where is it? Your money? Your promotion? Your house? Where is that which is so precious to you? Have you paid back kind Harding your debt? Have you repaid him with this plague that infects his wife?
Thomas Hutter
I left for us, for our future.
Ellen Hutter
For what? For what? For these things!
[Ellen knocks down a shelf full of objects in fury as her body shakes]

I command you, hearken to my voice. By the protection of Chamuel, Haniel, and Zadkiel, impart your speech unto me. In the name of Eligos, Orabas, and Asmoday, impart your speech unto me!

Knock
Now, I have been entertaining dealings with a foreign count. Very old line of nobility. Very old, and... eccentric. He wishes to acquire a home here in our Wisburg.
Thomas Hutter
Oh yes?
Knock
To retire here. He has one foot in the grave, so to speak.
Thomas Hutter
Uh, I should be pleased to escort the gentleman and recommend him to our properties.
Knock
I have already selected Grünewald Manor.
Thomas Hutter
Forgive me, sir, but is it not, well, uh, a ruin?
Knock
He requested an old home, and he will pay most generously.
Thomas Hutter
I shall meet him tomorrow. Nine of the clock?
Knock
Here is the peculiarity. He is too infirm to travel, so you needs must journey to him.
Thomas Hutter
I see.
Knock
He lives in a small country east of Bohemia, isolated in the Carpathian Alps.
Thomas Hutter
Oh.
Knock
It will be a great adventure, my boy.
Thomas Hutter
Indeed. Uh, may not the count execute the deed here when he arrives?
Knock
Oh no, it is much too urgent. He insists we offer him an agent... in the flesh. And he will reward you handsomely, my boy, handsomely. Secure this account, and you will secure your official position in the firm.
Thomas Hutter
Thank you, sir. Thank you. I shan't disappoint. And what was the count's name?
Knock
Orlok.

I have, my lord... Uh, I have questions about the um, unfamiliar customs of the peasantry and the errant wanderers. Last night, I saw... or I believe I saw a band of gypsies. They ventured to a small birch grove and...
Count Orlok
I fear we yet keep close many superstitions here that may seem backward to a young man of your high learning.
Thomas Hutter
These gypsies, they exhumed a corpse.
Count Orlok
It is their filthy ritual.
Thomas Hutter
What manner of ritual...
Count Orlok
Speak not of it again! How I look forward to retiring to your city of a modern mind, who knows nothing of nor believes any such morbid fairytales.
