Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)

Post by bunniefuu »

(SCREAMS)

(CLOCK CHIMING)

Operator, haven't you
been able to get me
the express office

at Islamorada,
Florida yet?

Yes, I know it takes
time to call from
London to the States.

But please hurry.
It's terribly important!

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Answer that phone.

(BELL RINGING)
Answer the bell!

(TELEPHONE RINGING)
Answer the phone!

Which do you want
me to answer first?
Both of 'em.

Both of 'em.
Both of 'em!

Hold the line,
please. Thank you.

I'd like to have
my grip, please.
Yes, ma'am.

Let me see that.
Well, they came in
on the last train.

We haven't unloaded
the truck yet. Go out
and get the lady's grip.

Hurry up.

Excuse me...
Excuse me, please.
(BARKS)

(WHISTLES)

Lady, here's your bag.

What are you trying to do,
ruin the lady's baggage?

Where is it?
This one.

There you are,
Madam. I'm sorry.
Thank you.

Now come on,
clean this all up.
Come on, straighten it out.

Wilbur, darling,
are you all right?

Sandra, I hurt my
poor little head.

Your head?

Oh, no.

Does this hurt?
Uh-uh.

Does that hurt?
Uh-uh.

Thank heaven.

If anything happened
to you, dearest,
I'd never forgive myself.

That kiss made
everything all better.

You worry about me
an awful lot, don't you?

You mean an
awful lot to me.

Tell me more.

I will.
At dinner tonight.

Okay.

Come on, get up
out of there
and go to work!

That is, if your head
doesn't bother you too much.

His head is all right.
It is, eh? But is your
head all right?

Certainly.
Frankly, I don't get it.

And frankly,
you never will.

I can't understand
that dame.

Of all the guys around here,
that classy dish has to pick
out a guy like you.

What's wrong with that?
Go look at yourself
in the mirror sometime.

Why should I hurt
my own feelings?

(TELEPHONE RINGS)

Go answer the phone.
Go ahead, I'll pick these up.

Baggage room.

London? Calling here?

This ain't collect, is it?

Oh, all right. Put him on.

Hello? Do you have
two crates addressed to
the McDougal House of Horrors?

What's the number
on the checks?
Never mind that.

Tonight, the moon
will be full here.
I haven't much time.

Now, listen closely.
I'm flying out of
here at dawn.

Under no circumstances
are you to deliver those
crates until I arrive.

Understand? Under...

(GROWLING)

(GROWLING OVER PHONE)

Mr. McDougal,
will you stop gargling
your throat?

(GROWLING)

Hey, you'll have to
get your dog away
from the phone.

I can't hear a word
you're sayin'.

You're awful silly to call me
all the way from London,

just to have your
dog talk to me.

(GROWLING)

(BARKS)

(GROWLING)

That's great conversation.
The guy growls like a wolf.

The nerve of some people!

Well, what can I do
for you, bub?
I'm in a hurry.

I have two crates
here addressed to
my House of Horrors,

and I want
immediate delivery.
My name's McDougal.

McDougal? But, I just
talked to you on the
telephone from London.

How'd you get here so fast?
They sh**t you
out of a cannon?

Are you crazy?
I've been here
all the time.

Now, get me
those crates!

How long you been here?
Five minutes.

What are you beefing about?
I've been here five years,

you don't see me going around
like that and yelling...

There's the insurance
slip and there's
the bill of lading.

Now get me those crates!

Look, will you
please stop yellin'?

Come here.
You know, it's impolite
to raise your voice.

(YELLING) Oh, Chick!

Why didn't you
give me these
in the first place?

Chi... Chick, this man
wants these crates.

Hmm. Insured for $20,000.
We'd better look these up.

Must be valuable.
I'll say they're valuable.

Wilbur?
Yes, Sandra?

He's busy,
he's busy. Please.

That little fellow's
impossible. Hurry up
with those crates!

Do you know what I've
got in there, miss?
Haven't the slightest idea.

Just the greatest attraction
the House of Horrors
ever had, that's all.

One of them's a coffin
containing the remains
of the original Count Dracula.

And the other's the body
of the Frankenstein Monster.

(LAUGHS)

Guess that combination's
enough to scare the pants...

I mean, shirt right off
your back, ain't it?

I don't scare easily.
Neither do I, where
money's concerned.

I got 'em dirt cheap.
European agent picked my
name right out of thin air.

Very interesting.
Yeah.

Mr. McDougal.

Hey, Chick, here's one.

Darling...
Yeah?

Darling, I have
to run along.
Something's come up.

That means we'll have to
break our date tonight.

It ain't another
man, is it?
Of course not.

Silly boy.
Oh, yeah.

Boy, I'm floatin'
on a cloud of love.

Listen, you little blimp,

I'll let the air out of you
in a minute, if you don't
give me a hand.

You understand that?
Thank you.

Boy, is this kid lost.

Come here. Take that rope
and get up on top that box,

and tie it to that
handle up there.

Okay. Nothing
matters no more.

I'm so happy.
Go on, get up there!

Here it is.

Hold still now.

Oh!

Chick!

Stop him! Is he
trying to ruin me?

Keep your shirt on.
You're insured.

Yes, and if those
exhibits are damaged,
I intend to collect.

Well, there you are.
Shall I wrap it up?
No, you idiot.

You're gonna take those
down to my House of
Horrors and uncrate them.

Because if that's the way
you handle baggage,

I'm going to have the
insurance agent there
to inspect them

before I accept delivery.

Well, then it's gonna cost
you overtime because
I'm a union man.

And I work only
16 hours a day.

A union man only works
eight hours a day.

I belong to two unions!

Get those down
to my place!
(MIMICKING) All right.

(THUNDER CLAPPING)

Hey, Wilbur,
here's a key.
Open the door.

(THUNDER CLAPPING)

I'm not gonna like this.
Come on, gimme a hand.

Come on, get it inside.

Well, pull it! You want
me to do all the work?

Come on, help
me with it, will ya?

Oh...

What's the matter now?

Somebody's got a knife
in my back.
Oh, nonsense!

Where's the switch?
Here.

Sandra should
see you now.

Turn around.
Look what you're
afraid of.

Turn around!

Come on,
get up on your feet.
It's only a dummy.

Dummy nothin'.
It was smart enough
to scare me.

Come on, get a hold
of the box. Go ahead.

All right, come on,
swing it around.

Well, help a little bit!

Oh, oh!

Come on, you fraidy-cat.
These things can't harm ya.

They're made out of wax.

You know, people pay
McDougal cash to come
in here and get scared?

I'm cheatin' him.
I'm gettin' scared
for nothin'.

Go ahead and push, now.
Don't knock anything over.

There we are. Now, we
get the dolly out from
underneath there.

Lift up that end.
Lift it up!

Come on, come on.

There you are.

Well, put it down,
put it down. Do I have
to do all the work?

I'll get it down.
Well, put it down.

Go ahead.
Now, open it up.

I'm going out and
get the other crate.
And no back talk!

I've got just two words
to say to you.
What is that?

Hurry back.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Hello? Yes, Mr. McDougal.

Yeah, the crates are here.
Wilbur's opening
one right now.

Everything's all right.

Okay, Mr. McDougal.
Goodbye.

(THUNDER CLAPPING)

Chick? Oh, Chick!

What's the matter?
What's the matter?

Did you
turn out the light?
Certainly not.

They're out.
So what?

Maybe the lightning struck
the power line or something.

I get in more messes
around here...

Never mind,
take off that canvas.

Take it off?
Take it off!

Hey, a coffin!
Coffin.

The Dracula crest.
Dracula's crest.

I wonder if Mr. McDougal
expects people to think that
Dracula's really in there.

No, don't. Please don't.

Oh, now come, come, come.
Dracula was just
a legendary character.

He never existed.
No?

Certainly not.

Fold up this canvas.
I'm going out and
get the other crate.

If you want me, just holler.
Holler, "Oh, Chick!"
You understand?

Oh, Chick!
What do you want?

What kept you?
I haven't left yet.

The next time,
don't take so long.

Come on.
Fold this up.
Get busy.

"Count Dracula sleeps in
this coffin, but rises
every night at sunset."

Chick is right.
This is awful silly stuff.

"Dracula..."

(COFFIN CREAKS)

Chick! Chick!

What's the matter now?
You know that
person you said that

there's no such person?
Yes?

I think he's
in there, in person.

I was reading this sign
over here, this one down
here, "Dracula's Legend."

All of a sudden I heard...

(MIMICS CREAKING SOUND)

That's the wind.
It should get oiled.

Listen, stop
reading this thing.

That's a lot of phony baloney
to fool McDougal's customers.

Now, fold up that canvas.
Get busy. Come on.

"Dracula can change himself
at will into a vampire bat,

"flying about
the countryside."

Flying.

Wooo...

Chick!

Listen, you're making
enough noise
to wake up the dead!

I don't have to wake him up.
He's up. I saw a hand.

You saw a hand? Where?
Right over there.

Let me see it.
Right over here.

Where is it?
I saw a hand there!

You don't know what
you're talking about!

You're all excited reading
this legend. Now, listen.
Listen, Wilbur.

I know there's no such
a person as Dracula.

You know there's no
such a person as Dracula.

But does Dracula know it?
Now, listen to me.

McDougal will be
here any minute with
the insurance agent.

Now get to work!

"He keeps himself alive
by drinking the blood..."
(CREAKING)

(WHISPERS)
Chick. Chick.

Chick.

Chick. Ch...

(WHISTLES LIMPLY)

Chick!

Now, listen,
this is getting
to be ridiculous.

What? What?

Are you trying to tell
me that candle moved?

Look, wait a minute.
Candles can't move!
This one did.

Yeah, there. Watch it.
Keep your eye on it.

Is it moving? Huh?

It's not moving,
is it?
Not now.

Well, use your brains
a little bit. Let's get
this job finished.

(MOANING IN TERROR)

"He keeps himself
alive by drinking the
blood of his victims."

"Count Dracula must
return to his coffin
before sunrise. He..."

Chick! Chick!

Oh, Chick! Chick!

(MUMBLES)

Chick!

Oh, Chick, come on!
Come on!

All right, I'm comin'.

Come on, will ya!
Now, wait a minute.
What's wrong now?

Oh, Chick!

You gonna tell me that
candle moved again?
Yeah, yeah.

I told you not to
read this, didn't I?

I can't help it.
I can't help it.
Oh, stop.

"Count Dracula must return
to his coffin before sunrise,

"where he lies helpless
during the day."

That's the bunk!
That's what I'm
trying to tell ya.

That's his bunk!

Come here.

Oh, don't, Chick.
Come here. Come here!
Come around here!

Come over here.
Look in there.

Now, do you see anything?

No.
Certainly not.

Come on, help me open
that crate. Come on.

CHICK: Come on, get with it,
will you please?

You can always...

"Frankenstein's Monster."
Get a load of this here.
Come here.

"A scientist named
Frankenstein made a monster

"by sewing together parts
of old, dead bodies."

Do you have to
read that stuff?
Wait a minute.

"Frankenstein gave the monster
eternal life by sh**ting
it full of electricity.

"Some people claim
it is not dead even now,
just dormant."

Now, who'd be silly
enough to believe that?
(LAUGHS)

(BOTH LAUGH)

Who would be silly enough
to believe that?
Yeah.

Me.

Come on, open
up that crate.

(CREAKING)

Chick, did you hear that?

Yeah, I heard you
pulling the nails out,
certainly. Go ahead.

Pulling the nails?

(COFFIN CREAKING)

Chick?
Oh, quiet.

I don't want to hear
any more of your
foolish questions.

Come on, open up
the crate, will you?

There we are.

You've got it.
Now get a hold of it.

Throw it right
on the side.

That's it, fine.
Now, come on, help me
with this excelsior.

Come on, take it all
out. Get it off him.

Wow! Look out!
Chick, cover it up!

What's the matter?
Wait a minute.
Cover it up!

Cover the whole...
What's the matter with you?

Stop that!

Now you did it.

McDOUGAL: Hey, what
are you doing in there
with the lights off?

Hey, McDougal!
Now we're in trouble.

Hide that head.
Hurry up! Hurry up!

(ELECTRICITY BUZZING)

Master.

Yes.

DRACULA: Come. Follow me.

Don't be afraid.
He won't hurt you.

Come!

Hurry up. Come.

This better be a good one.

What's the matter,
you afraid of the dark?
No.

Yeah, that's it.
That's it.

What is this?

Hey, Wilbur, McDougal
is here. I... What's
the matter with you?

Come on, snap out of it.

Where are they?
Where are my bodies?

What bodies?
There were no bodies.

We opened both crates.
I showed it to Wilbur.
Look in there.

If they're not here,
where are they?
I don't know.

They must be stolen.
My company inspected

the contents before
they were shipped.

Then they must've
been stolen en route.

You mean,
you saw them?
No, no, no.

Well, then where
did they go?
I don't know.

If they're gone, I want
my insurance money.
I'm sorry.

My company doesn't
pay off until
a full investigation.

Did you hear that?
If you don't produce
those bodies,

I'm going to
call the police!

Police?
Police!

I can do better
than that. Police!

I'll get you.
Police!

Wait a minute,
wait a minute.
Come on, go, get on.

Let's take it out.

Come!

Good evening,
Dr. Mornay.

My dear Count, it's so
good to see you again.

And you look more charming
than when I saw you last.

Come in, Count Dracula.
Thank you, Sandra.

But the name
is Dr. Lejos.

I wouldn't want to frighten
your technical assistant.

Professor Stevens?

Don't worry.
He's completely
engrossed in his work.

Besides, he should be
out of here by tomorrow.

Excellent.

Yes, except that he's asking
too many questions.

I will take care of that.
Is everything else arranged?

Yes. Where did
you leave him?
In the cold.

I'll get a wrap.

Nervous, my dear?

This is risky business.

Not as risky
as those curious
operations of yours,

that so intrigued
the European police.
Yet much more profitable.

Restore the monster for me,
and you shall have
anything you wish.

In that case,
we better start
as soon as possible.

It's dangerous to leave him
in this weakened condition.

Have you mastered
Dr. Frankenstein's
notebook?

Let me get my hand
on a scalpel again
and you shall see.

And about the brain?

I don't want to repeat
Frankenstein's mistake,
and revive a vicious,

unmanageable brute.

This time the monster
must have no will
of his own.

No fiendish intellect
to oppose his master.

There, my dear Count,
I believe I have exceeded
your fondest wishes.

The new brain I've chosen
for the monster is so simple,

so pliable,
he will obey you
like a trained dog.

Good. How soon?

The day after tomorrow.
Wilbur was taking me
to a masquerade ball.

But I'm sure he'd
prefer to spend a quiet
evening at home.

Bring him through here.

I tell you, Chick,
I saw what I saw
when I saw it!

Keep quiet!
You babbling about dead
people walking away!

That's why we
were arrested
and thrown in jail.

Do you realize that
we've spent a whole
day and night in jail?

And we'd still be
there if some dame
hadn't've bailed us out.

Chick, now stop calling
Sandra a dame!

And I'm tellin' ya,
they were there.

Oh, stop.
Two of 'em.

One of 'em was
about eight foot tall.

Way up there!
And he walked like this.

Just like that.

Now, that's
the way he walked.
Stop it.

You don't believe that?
Certainly not!

Well, I saw it.

And the other one,
he went like this.

And he kept gettin'
closer and closer.

He had eyes that
were ba*ls of fire.

He kept staring,
eye to eye.

Eye to eye! Staring!

I never saw anything
like it in my life.

Believe me, Chick,
when I tell you I was
scared to death.

Really I was. I was
really scared, Chick.

What's the matter? Chick?

What did I do?

Hey, Chick, I don't like you
like that. Come on, be just
like you used to be.

Go away with it!
Attaboy! I'm happy.

That's just like
you used to be.

All right. Now,
stop this nonsense!
All of it.

You're Wilbur Grey?
Yes, sir.

Then you must
be Chick Young.
So what?

I'm Lawrence Talbot.
I've been looking all
over town for you.

You didn't have to
look far. We were in jail.
Yes, I know.

You see, I'm the one who
telephoned you not to
deliver those bodies.

I knew they were alive!

There you are,
so you thought I was
imagining things, huh?

When I told you about
the fellow that
was eight-foot tall,

and walking like this with
the stiff legs, and then the
other fellow with this here.

Wait! Wait a minute.
You're crazy, and so
is this screwball!

Look, bub, I have
my own troubles.
Worse than you think.

I followed Dracula all
the way from Europe,

because I believe that
he's going to try and revive
the Frankenstein monster.

We must find him
and destroy him before
he can do this!

Wait a minute,
why don't you go
down to the police,

tell them you know the
story about Dracula
and the Monster.

They'd be very interested.
I can't do that.

Because then I'd
have to tell them
who I am and...

Why I know what I know.

Soon... Soon the
moon will rise.

I haven't time to explain.

I've taken the room
across the hall.
Here's the key. Lock me in!

Lock you in?
Yes, please. Hurry!

It's silly,
but I'll do it.

He's scared too.

Remember, no matter
what you hear
or what happens,

don't let me out!

"Lock me in."
That guy is screwier
than you are.

He is not.
He's a nice man.

He's just worried about the
police getting him because
he knows they're alive.

I'm going to bed.
Well...

Hey, he forgot his bag.

Mr. Talbot,
you forgot your grip.

Mr. Talbot?

Now, how'd he
get out of here?

Hmm.

I'll leave him a note.

"I left your bag
in the bedroom.

"Wilbur."

I wonder if he
counted these.

He might've.

Maybe he didn't.

Hmm.

A fine insurance company
I'm doing business with,

outsmarted by
a couple of morons!

Those two crooks got
out of jail. On bail!

We know that,
Mr. McDougal,
but you see we...

In fact, I arranged it.
You? Who are you?

This is Miss Raymond,
an investigator from
the home office.

It's my job, Mr. McDougal,
to find those
missing exhibits.

I'm quite sure I can persuade
the chubby little fellow to
lead me right to them.

Naturally, I couldn't
persuade him very
well in jail.

Wilbur, please!
I've had nightmares
all night long!

I don't want to
hear any more
about dead bodies.

I saw what I saw
when I saw it.

All right.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Boy, am I glad to see you.
Will you go over
and talk to that guy?

Sandra!
Wilbur darling, I heard
what happened.

That's awful.
They can't put my
little Wilbur in jail.

They can't,
but they did.

Sandra, I wanna thank
you for bailing us out.

I? I only learned
about it this morning.

Well, didn't the
policeman tell you that
a lady bailed us out?

He did.

Wilbur, pet, you haven't been
untrue to your Sandra?

Sandra, how can you
look me in the face
and say that?

How can you look him
in the face, period?

I only came by to
remind you about the
masquerade ball tonight.

I was just getting ready
to pick up my costume.

Come by for me early,
dearest. About sunset.

Alone. Goodbye.

What I'd like to know
is, what has he got
that I haven't got?

A brain.

A brain.
I'd like to know
where it is.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Oh. She forgot to
kiss me goodbye.

(SQUEALS IN SURPRISE)

Now, who is this?
She's... She's...
She's beautiful.

I'm Joan Raymond.
She's Joan Raymond.

I'm the girl who arranged
your release from jail.

Well, why should you
want to spring us?

Do you believe in
love at first sight?

Well! As long as you
put it that way, I...

That's what
happened to me.

Wilbur, darling!

(LAUGHS)

Miss Raymond, when did
this mad feeling first
come over you?

The instant I saw you
in the baggage room.

I knew then that I wanted
to spend every single minute
that I'm in town with you.

You did?

What are we
doing tonight?

He's going to
a masquerade ball.

But I'm not doing anything.

In that case, you'll
be awfully lonesome.
Well, naturally...

Wilbur darling, I haven't been
to a masquerade ball in ages.

I was just hoping
you'd ask me.

Wilbur! Come here.

Miss Raymond,
will you excuse me?

Oh, you irresistible boy!

Do you want me?
Yes, I want you.
Come over here.

I just wanted to
get a good look
at you in the light.

I still don't get it.
Jealous?

Wilbur, I'll have to go
out and get a costume.

That's funny. I was
just going, too.

I'll go down to my room
and pick up a couple things
and meet you in the lobby.

All right. In the lobby.

I'll get my hat and coat.
I'll be right with you.

Excuse me.
Look.

Now you've got two dates.
What about Sandra,
you bigamist?

Sandra? I don't know.
Joan is awful cute.

All right, you take
Joan, I'll take Sandra.
Oh, Sandra sends me.

Well, then
I'll take Joan.
Joan sends me too.

Now, listen, you
sawed-off Romeo,

in a minute,
I'll send you!

You don't even
appeal to me.

Look, Wilbur, we've
always been pals,
haven't we?

Oh, yes.
We've always shared,

and shared alike,
haven't we?
Mm-hmm.

Well, now, look,
let's be reasonable.
Come on.

I've always
shared with you.
That you have!

If I had two cigarettes,
I'd give you one.
That's right.

And if I had two
pair of shoes,
I'd give you a pair.

Don't I know that?
And if I have two girls...

Well?

Why don't you light that
cigarette, put on those shoes
and take a walk for yourself?

That's what I'm going
to do, but with you.

This key don't fit.
This is... Talbot's key.

Hey, we forgot about him.

Boy, what a bender
he must've been
on last night!

Hey, Mr. Talbot.
Mr. Talbot!

And I thought you were
such a nice man, too.
Look at yourself.

You're a mess!
Last night...

I went through another
of my horrible experiences.

Years ago I was
bitten by a werewolf.

Ever since, when
the full moon rises,

I turn into
a wolf myself.

Oh, pal,
that's all right.

I'm sort of
a wolf myself.
And here I thought...

I thought that you
were the only one that
would believe me,

that you were
the one that knew
that I spoke the truth.

You have seen
the living dead.
Mm-hmm.

I came all the way
from Europe,

because Dracula
and the Monster
must be destroyed.

Together we must
find them!

Oh no, now, wait a minute.
Let's not start that
all over again.

I can't go. I've got a date.
In fact, I've got two dates.

But you and I have
a date with destiny.

Let Chick go with destiny.

Won't you please?

You two kids stay here.
I'm going up and get Sandra.

She's mine too.

Pardon me just
a minute. Wilbur!

Now, look, you've
got Joan and Sandra.

You've got two girls!
How about the two girls
we had last week?

Let's not
talk about that.

You got no kick comin'.
I'm not kicking.

You had the best
lookin' one.
So what?

Yours had teeth.
Look, Wilbur, yours
had teeth too.

Did you see that tooth?
Yes, I happened to see it.

Mine had so much bridgework,
every time I kissed her
I had to pay toll.

What's the use?

Wilbur, can't we both
go along, too?

Yes, mon amour.
That's Spanish.
That's French.

How do you like that?
I speak French too.
Oh, you cute little devil!

Stop that.

Come on, lead the way.
Come on.

Hello.
Hello.

Is Sandra in?
Who?

Sandra.
You mean,
Dr. Mornay?

Well, if that's what
she is, I'm just what
the doctor ordered.

Come in.
Thank you.

I thought this Sandra
was your date.

Or did we both come
along for the ride?
No, no.

Perhaps I should
introduce myself.
I'm Professor Stevens.

This is Miss Raymond,
This is Wilbur Grey,
and I'm Chick Young.

How do you do,
Miss Raymond?
How do you do?

I have work to finish,
but it shouldn't take
more than a few minutes.

If you'll wait
in the library,
I'll be right down.

Just to keep the records
clear. We're here
to pick up Sandra.

Of course. I'm sure she's
around somewhere.

Wilbur!

Sandra, hello.

That girl,
who is she?

She's Chick's date.
She's going to the
masquerade with us.

But I told you to come
here alone. We'll have
to get rid of them.

I'll have to get
rid of somebody.

Hello, Sandra.
Hello, Chick.

Joan, this is Sandra.
Sandra, Joan.

Nice place you
have here, Doctor.
Who told you I was a doctor?

Why, the young man
who answered the door.

Oh, Professor Stevens.

I'm on a vacation, you see,
and traveling incognito.

What are you doing here?
Same thing.

Shall we get going?
Just as soon as I
put on my costume.

Would you like to
powder your nose?
I'd love to.

I'll be right back, Wilbur.
(SIGHS)

I'll be right back,
too, Wilbur.
(SIGHS)

Toodle-oo!

Chick, there's a time
in everyone's life when
they get in trouble.

I'm in a mess
of it right now.
Now, what's wrong?

I've got two girls.
You know the old saying?

"Everything
comes in threes."

Now, suppose a third girl
should fall in love with you?

What's her name?
We'll say her name is Mary.

Is she pretty?
Beautiful.

Naturally,
she'd have to be.

Now you have Mary,
you have Joan
and you have Sandra.

So, to prove to you
that I'm your pal,
your bosom friend,

I'll take one of
the girls off your hands.

Chick, you're what
I call a real pal.
It's all right.

You take Mary.
(TELEPHONE RINGING)

We better answer
that phone.
They're all upstairs.

Hello.
Hello?

Is Dr. Lejos there?

Just a minute.
Somebody wants to
know about a Dr. Lejos.

I don't know him.

Hello?
Who is this speaking?
This is Wilbur Grey.

I thought I recognized
your voice.

This is Talbot speaking.

Listen. I just got a line
on Dracula and the Monster.

A certain Dr. Lejos has
been receiving a lot
of electrical equipment,

just the type necessary
to revive the Monster.

So what? I'm way
out on an island.

I've got my own problems.
Yes, but listen.

I believe you're in
the house of Dracula
right now.

You can find the
Monster, and I'll...

(PHONE DISCONNECTS)

Hello?

Wilbur!

Come here!

Chick, you don't know
what you're doin', son!
(SHUSHES)

What's the matter
with you?
Quiet. Come here.

You didn't hang up
the phone.
Let him hang up the phone.

Who?
Dracula.

Dracula and the
Monster live here.

Wait a minute.
Don't start that again.
Who told you that?

Talbot. He also said that
we got to search the place.

Come here.

Come over here.

Now, listen, Talbot,
enough is enough.
Now, Wilbur's scared to...

Hello? Hello?
He's gone.
So am I.

No, you don't. Come here.
I'm gonna settle this
thing once and for all.

We'll search this place.
Look, Chick, it's
a little past sunset,

and if Dracula is
here, he's gonna be
wanting breakfast.

And I'm fatter than you,
and it ain't gonna be me!

Now, just a minute.
Just a minute.
It ain't gonna be me!

Wait a minute, I'm gonna
prove just how crazy both
you and Talbot really are.

We'll search this place,
right from the basement.

Look, Chick.
What?

We'll search it.
That's more...

You and I together.
Now we're talkin'.

Attaboy. You search
the basement,
I'll search outside.

Oh, no, you don't!
All right, then,

I'll search on outside,
and you search the basement.

That's different.

(CHUCKLING) It worked!
Come on!

Now, let's look
around here.

There's some
doors down there.

You think we oughta
tell Sandra where
we're goin'?

Certainly not.

You look over there.

Well?
Broom closet.

What?

Broom closet? Look out.

Come on.

Broom closet?

Come on!
Wait for me.

Come on.

Oh!

Chick! Open!

(SCREAMS)

Whoa!

Chick! Come on. Chick!

Chick! You search down
there and on the inside.
Shh.

(STAMMERING)

Stop!
It's the truth. Come here.

(STAMMERING)

All I did was like this.

Now, Chick, I tell you,
right over there.

Where are they?
Where are they?

They're in there.
They're in there.
Now, listen.

(WHISTLES)

Wait a minute.
I'm gonna look around.
You go ahead.

If I don't find anybody,
I'm gonna beat your ears off.

I'm telling you,
Chick. Honest.
Well, wait here.

They're over there. Oh,
no. I ain't goin' near
that place anymore.

Whoa! Ooh!

Open sesame!
Open sesame!

Well, where are they?
They must be in there.

Oh, stop. Now, listen Wilbur,
I'm getting sick and tired of
this silly nonsense of yours.

Some guy going around...
(MIMICS GROANS)
No, no.

Another guy goin'...
No, no!

The one guy goes...
The big...

And the other guy,
not like that, like this.

Yeah. All right,
all right, all right.
Put your hands down.

Come on, the girls are
waiting for us upstairs.
Come on.

Have you known Wilbur long?
Yes, we're old friends.

Will you be long?
Just a few minutes.

Miss Raymond?
Yes?

I'm ready. Shall we go?

Of course.

Here's your purse, dear.
Thank you.

(SCREAMS)

Who screamed?
You did!

I did?

Now, listen, Wilbur,
if you don't stop imagining
these crazy things,

I'll take you to a doctor
to have you examined.

But I'm telling you, I saw
them. And when I see what
I see, I saw it. That's all.

Because Mr. Talbot,
same way, he saw it too.

Talbot! He's crazy.
You're both crazy!

Sandra.

Sandra, I've just gotta
tell you. I was downstairs
in the basement.

Basement?
And what were you
doing down there?

I opened the door.
He opened the door,

and fell down the stairs.

Fibber.
How careless!

You should be careful!
A person can get
k*lled that way!

I hope you weren't
disturbed, Dr. Lejos.

It's perfectly all right,
my dear. Introduce me.

This is Miss Raymond.
Mr. Young.

And this is Wilbur.

Ah, Wilbur! Why!

I heard so much
about you, I feel as
if we have already met.

And I must say, my dear,
I approve very highly
of your choice.

What we need today
is young blood.

And brains!

Oh, don't be bashful. Come.

Hello, Dr. Lejos.
I've been looking
for you all day.

You know, every time I ask
Dr. Mornay what that equipment
is going to be used for,

she says to ask you.

Of course.

Didn't I hear that
you were going to
masquerade ball?

Yes, we have our costumes
out in the boat.
Oh, you young people!

Making the most
of life, while it lasts.

Thank you.

Professor, you've
worked hard and well.

Why don't you join them,
and save your questions
until tomorrow?

Under ordinary circumstances
I'd say no, but...
If you don't mind?

Not at all.
Good. I'll get my coat.

Of course that would make
too many for one boat.

But if the professor
and this lady and gentleman
go on ahead, sure.

Wilbur and Dr. Mornay can...
I'm afraid I can't.

What's the matter?

I've suddenly developed
a splitting headache.

I'm sorry, Wilbur,
but you'll have
to go without me.

Nonsense! It will pass
as quickly as it came.

It's no use, Doctor.
I shall have to go
directly to bed.

Pardon me.
Well, Chick, there
goes your date.

Now then, what
was that all about?

This thing is too
dangerous. The girl is
an insurance investigator.

Stevens is asking
too many questions.

And Wilbur was up to
something in the basement.

I think we ought to wait.

And jeopardize the success
of the operation? Never!

I must warn you,
my dear Sandra,

I am accustomed
to having my orders obeyed,

especially by women
with a price on their heads.

Don't try to scare me,
Count Dracula.

Here. The Secrets of Life
and Death by Dr. Frankenstein.

Memorize them.
Operate yourself,
if you're in such a hurry.

I have other ways
of securing your cooperation.

You're wasting your time.
My will is as
strong as yours.

Are you sure?

Look into my eyes.

Look!

Deeper.

Tell me what you see.

(BIG BAND MUSIC PLAYING)

Joan, Chick and I are gonna
go into the lockers and
change into our costumes.

Come on, Professor.
We'll meet you on
the dance floor.

Okay.

What did I do?
What do you mean?

He's dancing with my girl!
So what?

I'll show her!

(SINGING) I'm in love...

Come on. Pick up
those bundles!
Okay.

Let's get dressed.
Come on.

So, it's you!
Ah, he knows me!

McDougal!
Listen, fat boy,
where are my exhibits?

Now, you leave
him alone!

Not until he tells me
where those exhibits are.

Where are they?
Where are they?

McDougal, now
we've got it on you.

You put us in jail. Now,
we'll have you arrested
for as*ault and battery.

Go ahead and see what
good it'll do ya.
You haven't got a witness.

I'm a witness!
My word's
as good as yours!

Your word is
better than his.
You keep outta this.

I'll get a witness.
Do me a favor,
will you, fella?

Will you watch this?
I need a witness.

Go ahead. I'd like to
see you do it again.

Did you see it?

I'm sorry.
I couldn't see a thing.

Thank you.

Have you seen
Chick Young
or Wilbur Grey?

Seen them? I don't
even know them.

I've got to know what
they found on that island.

Chick! Wilbur!
What did you find?

Was I right?
No.

And I wish you'd stop
trying to put those ideas
in this boy's head.

He's not used to them.
Go put your
things on, Wilbur.

Did you meet Dr. Lejos?
Yes.

What did he look like?
Tall, aristocratic,
a faraway look in his eye?

All I know is
he told us to go out
and have some fun.

Why don't you?

Can't I convince you
that Dracula is a very
dangerous person?

You and Wilbur are just
trying to scare me.
Well, it won't work!

(SCREAMS)

I scared ya.
(LAUGHS)

I scared ya,
you big sissy.

This is your mask
over there.
Mine?

(ROARS)

Oh, no, no. Please
don't wear that.
What's the matter?

I know you'll think
I'm crazy, but...

In a half an hour
the moon will rise
and I'll turn into a wolf.

You and 20 million
other guys.
Listen!

I might tear you
limb from limb!

Is that serious?
He'll m*rder ya!

That's serious.

It won't be if
you'll just take me
and lock me in my room.

Please.
Oh, all right.

Why don't you hire
yourself a keeper?

Come on.

Hey!
(GASPS IN SURPRISE)

Look.
Oh, Sandra's coming.

Is it all clear?
I will take care
of the girl.

And you'll take Wilbur
back to the castle.

Understand?
Yes, Master.

Sandra, you look...

So... We meet again,
Count Dracula.

Dracula?
Yes. That's who
he says you are.

Oh, my costume perhaps.
No, Talbot here thinks
you're the real thing.

Uh-huh. Right out
of McDougal's
House of Horrors.

What an odd
hallucination.

But the human mind
is often inflamed
with strange complexes.

I suggest you consult
your physician, Mr. Talbot.

And take him along
with you, please.

Well, so there you are!

I'm glad to see
you've recovered.

I didn't expect to see
you here, Doctor.
Sandra insisted I come.

Besides, I need
a little relaxation.

Miss Raymond,
would you honor
me with a dance?

No. No!

I warn you.
He is Count Dracula!

How interesting.
Tell me more.

No, let me tell you...
While we dance.

Pardon me, Mr. Talbot.

Sandra, do you
feel all right?
Of course.

But I must obey
my doctor's orders.

Oh, sure!
You gotta do what
the doctor tells ya.

I intend to.
Let's have a walk,
Wilbur.

Toodle-oo.

Professor, do you
understand women?

I don't even try.
I'm gonna get me a drink.

Sit here.

Sandra, there's something
strange about ya.
You're not yourself.

Is there anything
I can do to help?
Yes.

I want you to go away
with me to the island.

Just me and you?
Yes.

I want to be
the only one in your life.
I want to be part of you.

I want to be in your blood.

I think I know
what you mean.

Wouldn't you want a
prettier fellow than me?
No. I want no one but you.

You are so full-blooded,
so round, so firm.

So fully packed.
And I want to stay that way.

(GASPS)

Stuck myself.
I'm bleedin'.

Let me see it.
Uh-uh.

There ain't enough there for
the two of us, if that's
what you're thinking.

I'll tell you what
I'm thinking.
Look into my eyes.

I'm afraid to.
There's nothing
to be afraid of.

Look. Deeper.

Deeper!

Deeper.

I looked deep enough.
I don't wanna look anymore.

Of course you do.

Don't you know
what's going to happen now?

I'll bite.
Oh, no... I will!

CHICK: Wilbur!
Joan! Wilbur!

Joan?
There he is.

Wilbur, have you
seen Joan?

No, but I have definitely
made up my mind.

You can have Sandra,
but make sure you've
got plenty of bandages.

Maybe Dracula lured Joan
into the woods and...

Chick, do you know what
could happen if I meet
Dracula in the woods?

I'll bite.
Oh, no. You gotta
stand in line.

Let's not waste any time.
Yeah, let's.

Joan? Joan?

Joan! Chick,
we can't find her.

Now, let's keep on
looking. Come on.
Joan!

Joan?

Chick, we're never
gonna find her.

Joan!

WILBUR: Joan?

Joan?

(GROWLING)

Joan?

Joan!

Chick? Chick?

Where did he go? Chick!

I'm gettin' tired of
lookin' for Joan.

Look at him.

Didn't Mr. Talbot tell
you not to put that
mask on anymore?

Now, what'd you
put it on for?

Now, take the mask off!
Come on!

Joan?

Hey, Chick,
now, what are you
lookin' in there for?

You know you're not
gonna find Joan there.

Now, come on, get up!
Get up! We gotta find Joan.

(SNARLING)

Come on, Chick.
Now, take that mask off!

(GROWLING)

Take it easy.
I'm your friend!

(GROWLING)

MAN: Help! Help!

Help!

The man's been hurt.
Looks like something
attacked him.

Get a doctor.

You'll be all right, though
another half inch would
have severed

your jugular vein.

Get him up.

Who did it?
It was somebody
in a wolf's mask.

McDougal, what
happened to you?

You! It was you!
He said he was
gonna get me.

Me?
That's right.

I saw him arguing
with you earlier
this evening.

That's ridiculous.
Why, I wouldn't...

People, real live people.
That's a boy. Tell 'em.

You, Chick.
What's the matter?

What's the idea of
trying to take
a bite out of me?

What was the idea?
Now, you.

What, did he take
a bite out of you too?

What's the matter
with you, Chick?

You gone mad
or something?
Wilbur!

Don't let that little
fellow fool you.

He's an accomplice.
Me?

Let's call the sheriff.
I'll go call him.

Wait a minute...

(ALL SPEAKING INDISCERNIBLY)

(GULPS)

Chick! Chick! Oh, Chick!

Chick!
Count Dracula wants me...

Joan, Joan, come on.
We gotta get outta here.

Joan?

Joan? Don't tell me
you've gone bats too.

Wilbur! Wilbur! Wilbur!

(DOGS BARKING)

Chick! Chick!

Chick, Chick.
Quiet. They're after me.

After you? What for?

McDougal was almost
k*lled last night
by either a wolf
