Prof. VON FRANZ :
Untie this child at once!
Dr. SIEVERS :
It’s all I could do to keep her from
tearing the room to ribbons.
Prof. VON FRANZ :
Untie her.
You are the Doctor
our Sievers spoke of?
Prof. VON FRANZ :
Drugged?
Dr. SIEVERS :
I have been administering an opiate.
She must rest by day, for
Her Body is in utter stress
all The Night.
Prof. VON FRANZ :
She cannot be clouded.
Step away. Step away.
My Dear Creature, yes,
I am he, and I am hither
come to Help You.
(kitten meows)
Prof. VON FRANZ :
Is she your's?
Greta? She has no
Master nor Mistress.
Prof. VON FRANZ :
Quite so.
I entreat you to excuse me, but I should
like to begin my consultation presently.
You see, I have A Curiosity about You.
Dr. Sievers tells me that you have
had these spells since childhood.
Would you describe them to me, please?
I cannot always remember them.
As if my spirit wanders off.
Prof. VON FRANZ :
Tell me what you can,
from The Beginning.
Sometimes it was…
it is like A Dream.
Prof. VON FRANZ :
Hmm.
And I know things.
I always knew the contents
of my Christmas gifts.
I knew when that my
mother would pass.
Father, he would find me in our fields
within the forest as if I was
his little changeling girl.
Prof. VON FRANZ :
I see.
But as I became older,
it worsened.
I frightened him.
My Touch.
I was so very alone, you see,
and I wished for comfort.
Then A Presence and
The Nightmares,
The Epilepsies, I…
Prof. VON FRANZ :
Pray, continue.
At last, Papa found me once laying.
Unclothed, I was.
My Body, my…
My Flesh, I… “Sin.”
“Sin,” he said.
He would have sent me to
that place. I… I shan’t go.
No, no.
It all ended when I
first met my Thomas.
From our love,
I became as normal.
Prof. VON FRANZ :
Yet these visions and
night wanderings
have returned to you?
I fear for him so.
Professor. My Dreams
grow darker.
Does Evil come from within
us or from beyond?
(clock ticking)
(wheezing)
Prof. VON FRANZ :
Her Trance-state
is begun.
You have bled her to
decrease the congestion?
Dr. SIEVERS :
Of course.
Prof. VON FRANZ :
And her menstruations are also?
Dr. SIEVERS :
Liberal.
Prof. VON FRANZ :
Too much blood.
Too much blood.
A taper, please.
(wheezing continues)
Her pupil is expanded.
It does not contract
naturally to light.
Dr. SIEVERS :
Impossible.
Prof. VON FRANZ :
A second-sight.
She is no longer here.
My bag --
Forgive the grotesque tediousness
of this demonstration --
The needle.
However, I must impress upon you
that this child is not with us.
(Anna gasps)
Professor, I do protest.
Prof. VON FRANZ :
Restrain your protestation,
for she feels nothing.
She communes now
with another realm.
Tend to the wound, Sievers.
Now…
Do you hear me,
my child?
(Ellen moans)
Prof. VON FRANZ :
And what then do you see?
I charge you, speak
now what you see.
Enduring night.
A specter of death.
He… he spreads his shadow,
and he… he… he is coming.
Prof. VON FRANZ :
Who? Who is coming
to You, My Child?
Who, Damn you? Speak!
(grunting rapidly)
Yield before this
Ancient Talisman!
(Ellen gasping)
ANNA :
Professor!
Prof. VON FRANZ :
I will not Harm her!
(deep, raspy breathing)
I Command You,
Hearken to My Voice --
By The Protection of Chamuel,
Haniel and Zadkiel, impart
Your Speech unto Me --
(gagging)
Prof. VON FRANZ :
In The Name of Eligos,
Orabas and Asmoday,impart
Your Speech unto Me --
(inhales deeply)
(MASSIVE Spine-
wrenching Convulsion)
Count Orlock :
(Spookily acting
at A Distance) :
(Demonic voice)
I shall persist to join
you every night, first in
sleep, then in your arms.
Everything will be
mixed with abomination, and
you’ll be knee-deep in blood.
Everyone will cry.
There will be none
to bury The Dead.
You are promised to Me!
