Dark Shadows Page #4

Synopsis: In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet-or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy...until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth C

Alas I know not how

to win her tender affection

but I fear that I have

no willing in her eyes

- That what they say about us

- Yeah

Where I'm from

the love of a woman is won

by giving money to her father

or sheep

and if love is true enough

perhaps the combination of the two

women don't care about money

or sheep

Are you absolutely certain?

Love, chicks dig love, man

- Yeah

- Yeah

Yes

I remind of the line Eric Siegel

wonderful novel, The Love Story

Love means never having to say

you are sorry

however please know

that is with sincere regret

that I must now kill all of you

Yeah

No, its brilliant, theoretically anyway

series of transfusion to

try and purify your blood

and my soul exists

I shall warn you Barnabas,

there's a slight chance it wont work

This is exactly the kind of thing

they teach you in medical school

You must have faith doctor

When as a man can become a monster

any monster can become a man

Why do you want to

become a man, Barnabas?

Why do you chose to give

up the gift of eternal youth?

and look at me, every year I look

half as pretty and twice as strong

That is true, Madam, you must have

started as the most beautiful creature

lived on the surface of the Earth

Barnabas

Are you aware of the concept of

doctor and patient confidentiality?

No

Perhaps you would be kind

enough to enlighten me

Alright

Barnabas

Ah Victoria

Mind if I tag along?

nothing would make me happier

Do you come for the stream?

Actually I came down

looking for David

God knows where run off to now

We will be lucky if we see

him before Christmas

He's a fine lad

He but curious and annoying as I was

he idolizes you

Between you and his mother,

I can't get him to talk

about anything else

Do you believe him, that he

see her and speak to her?

Part of me believes that he's

a lonely boy looking for comfort

part of me believes in things in

this world we don't understand

Things like magic and death, destiny

I guess a long it makes him happy,

it doesn't matter what anyone believe

Elegantly put

Maybe we're getting too

work up about this Angie

I mean they spook up the canary

and renovated the house,

so what?

We still hold things on 95% of it

- grinding the Grand Banks

- He's right

This doesn't mean anything

to our bottom line

doesn't mean anything?

Doesn't mean anything?

My great great grandmother

started Angel Bay to show those

Collins, they didn't own water

they couldn't look down

their entitle nose at us

Bouchard woman enslaved

for over 2 centuries

Sacrificing their lives

to build this business

So that means something gentlemen

and I'll be damned if I let this company

destroyed by those Collins

call an arranged meeting

Sell to you? Never

One cannot put a price on the

restoration of the family honor

let me try

Check for Barnabas Collins

ONE MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED

& FIFTY THOUSAND

I had no idea that my business

acumen giving you such spasm

hypnotizing fishermen isn't

business acumen Barnabas

- Those are my terms

- This are my term

go is thou to hell and swiftly

please Satan hedonist suckle

of your disease tits

Oh, no one talks like

you anymore Barnabas

Yes, indeed

I must say that this age does

still remain a mystery to me

Give me one good reason why

shouldn't kill you this instant

- If I'll kill you if you try

- Impossible

That would requires mercy

- instead had made me a monster

- We're both monsters, Barnabas

Just two big fish

in a itty bitty pond

Now, we can either fight

until one of us is dead

or

we can mate

Little fish together

I'll be honest I was really angry

at you for a century or so

sure it was hmm watching

your family squirm

and burn away like ants

under magnifying glass

and yes it was fun being adored

as the Collins name hurdle

going wealthy on act of their despair

but lately

Lately it just been

Lonely

We're different from

this people Barnabas

We're better than they are

That's why

I miss you

You're the only ant I could not burn

- What is it you want Angelique?

- Your love

You do still love me don't you?

Somewhere deep down

in that cold beating heart

my dear even aphrodite herself

cannot consult a more odious union

- What if I mate you?

- With what? A spell?

Little dolls and pins that is not love

With this

The body you once begged me for

I must admit, they have not aged a day

I'm willing to start over Barnabas

I'm willing to call a

truce if just take me

- I am not as I once was

- I could change that

- and if I refuse?

- I take it with whom you loved

Starting with that little creature

that you been eyeing so fondly

The one that looks like Jossete

Well then

I suppose, strictly unopposed now

I must now

Defiant the most

enduring the women of Satan

That was regrettable turn of events

- You didn't seem to regret it

- Yes

Seems that even in death,

I have the weakness for a living flesh

especially yours

What a cold way to describe

something so interesting

perhaps

but I cannot succumb

to your charm ever again

Please, forgive me

if I can't have you my love,

I'll destroy you

Five more minutes

this is a very silly play

Yeah well its the only

station we got around here

How are we doing?

I do not feel as I becoming

more human yet

- Give it some time

- Time

I have unfortunate access of

My favourite thing about

Lucy is her crazy red hair

I mean look at her red hair

and my second favourite

thing about her

is her nice shiny pink bow

No, please

Please, I beg of you

Mommy, please

Mummy, daddy, help me

Please

help me

help me

help you what?

- A what?

- A ball and a splendid one

- A ball? For who?

- The entire town of course

Don't you know that the

entire town kinda hate us?

Ball are the illustration of power

Balls how ruling class

remains ruling class

Exactly what I've been saying,

this family could use some Balls

Indeed and the Collins

family have always

held the biggest and the

most wonderful Balls

Barnabus has a point

its about time we open

some door around

Show the peasant that

we're back in action

People don't throw

balls anymore stupid

They do not?

They throw happening

and how do they throw this happening?

Well first thing first,

you'll need a mirrored ball

- Whatever that is, we should have it

- The rivers has lots of mirrors

Caroline

We shall have lot of it

and

Alice Cooper

I seem to recall Alice

Cooper from my youth

- Has she reside in Collins Port?

- Not exactly

Well she should be

our guest nonetheless

Hello

Thank you for having us

Good evening, welcome to Collins Wood

I got to handed to you,

this is a happening

the only thing missing is Alice Cooper

Perhaps you should go

in and make acquittance

of yourself with the

evening entertainment

Ugliest woman I've ever seen

Mater David where is the

female coat attendant?

My dad talking to her inside

told me to keep my f***ing out

I'm sure he did David.

You've done a marvelous job
