Doctor Dracula Page #3

---

Yeah, I can just

imagine what he's eating.

Exhibit recording:

Welcome to the creature emporium.

My name is Dr. duryea,

and I am the creator of all

you are about to witness.

It's like listening to

dial-a-prayer on the telephone.

Please follow my voice

to the first platform.

Mike, we didn't come here

to hear a recording

of some doctor's voice.

I've never been

in this place before.

Maybe there isn't

any Dr. duryea.

Strange:
Mike, take my word for it.

He's around.

The guillotine

was invented

by a French physician

educated at a jesuit college.

As a deputy

to the national assembly,

he proposed

that decapitation

be adopted as the method

of capital punishment

in order to make executions

as swift and painless as possible.

Of course, there is no way

we are able to determine

if the method

is entirely painless,

but we certainly know

by observation

that the entire

procedure is swift.

If this had been

an actual demonstration,

you would have noted

the extreme lack of blood.

Sounds like he

enjoys every word of it.

Look, Mike, there are wires

all over the place.

This whole exhibit

must be mechanical.

Maybe you were

right about Dr. duryea.

And what is right

about Dr. duryea?

Oh, I'm-- I'm--

I'm sorry.

I didn't know

there was anyone about.

Iam everywhere,

particularly in this room,

since all of these creatures

are byproducts of my mind.

I'm afraid we came here

for another reason, doctor.

My sister visited

your exhibit...

Many young

people come here

to study to

mysteries of the occult.

- ...and now she's missing.

- Missing?

Yes, she was last seen on

the beach right by your very exhibit.

Oh, I see.

I have a picture of joanie.

The face is not

familiar to me.

I know she's been here

in the past, doctor.

Many people come here

to study the exquisite

work of Dr. duryea.

Afterwards, their faces

all blend in my mind.

However, you may leave

your address at the box office

and I will contact you

immediately if she reappears.

He was right about

being all over the place.

Did you see his eyes when

i showed him the picture of joanie?

- Yeah, I saw his eyes.

- He knows joanie.

- I just know it.

- What he knows

and what he'll talk about

are two different things.

According

to latest research,

the male gorilla

may attain a height of six feet.

Hey, do we have to

listen to Dr. Doolittle again?

I think we've had it.

It is interesting to note

the canine teeth

of the female

are not developed

into tusks.

Yeah, that's

real interesting,

especially if you're going

with a female-type gorilla.

Hey, Samantha!

Look, a tire!

Samantha:

You're on that kick?

Oh, but it's got meaning!

Everything's got meaning.

You're dreaming again, strange.

Hey, Samantha, fetch.

Hey, baby, where you

been keeping yourself?

Why don't you

cut out, rico?

I've pulled myself

out of the sewer.

I don't think she likes us.

I think I'm gonna cry.

Let me tell you

something, baby:

Nobody leaves us.

Do you understand?

I think you've been around

these squares long enough.

I need myself

a new chick today,

so hop on the back

and we'll cut out of here.

You all right, Sam?

Hey, look at the hero.

Ain't he cute?

Leave him alone.

Hey, that's a nice lookin'

piece you got there.

Okay, baby,

you want it this way,

but next time--

well, you'll see.

Come on, you guys,

let's make it.

Well, I see you've moved

into our neighborhood.

Sergeant Martin, did you

see those motorcyclists?

Yeah, that's just part

of the environment.

Well, they almost

attacked Samantha.

Samantha? She knows

how to take care of herself.

I can't believe the police

would sayathing like that.

The police aren't

saying it, miss fontaine.

I'm saying it.

This is my area.

I know it.

People like to play games,

and pretty soon

you know what they are.

You learn when to leave

something alone or break it up.

What do you know

about Dr. duryea?

Well, now are you trying

to play detective again?

No, I'm just trying

to find my sister.

I told you to leave

that to me, miss fontaine.

- Cop:
Lieutenant?

- That'll be something important.

If you've gota fireplace,

burn some wood in it.

It'll be a lot better than running

around loose on the streets.

Miss fontaine, stay away

from the beaches.

Theresa maniac

running loose.

What do you think

of my little hideaway?

Oh, Mike,

it's beautiful.

It's hard to believe

there's so much

trouble in the world

when you're sitting here

listening to the sound of the ocean,

and being here

with someone so nice.

Well, it's about

time you admitted it.

I just haven't

wanted to get involved.

So many things

i have to do.

You're right.

We don't want

to get involved, do we?

Just be good friends, right?

Duryea:

Yes, you're seeing it

coming into

being now, groton.

The final stages of the

adrenaline molecular structure.

The traumatic shock

which has vibrated

through these bodies

has now been tempered,

tempered

to an even rhythm.

The blood has reversed

through the pulmonary artery.

We are all

going through changes

of having the same blood.

It is following

throughout all our bodies.

We shall soon become

more and more as one.

Soon perhaps

we will even look as one.

Your cure is here.

I promised.

I promised you that,

but I must have the

full force of the serum first.

I can no longer

remain in this wheelchair.

I'm chained to it.

I need to feel the

earth beneath my feet.

Without that, groton, none of

you will experience a normal life.

What is it, groton?

I've not given

you your shots

for transformation

for the past 24 hours.

You should not

be experiencing

any forms

of metamorphosis.

I will not have that, groton.

No, I cannot have you

work with me like this.

Your only quest

in this form is for blood.

You're forcing me,

forcing me to give you

a portion of the serum, groton.

You forced me

because of your weakness.

Because of your weakness,

we will lose a measure of the serum.

I will not

help you again, groton.

Not again.

Mike, I've been thinking

about what you said before.

About what?

Oh, about joanie being

old enough to live by herself.

Are you giving up?

No, I'm not giving up.

Just giving joanie something

she's always needed--

her freedom from a big sister

who thinks she knows

what's right

and what's wrong.

I'm sure joanie

will thank you for that,

but maybe there's something

else you don't know about.

Something else?

I've been thinking about

everything that's happened.

I may have come

up with a new idea.

Everything that's

happened in the last week

is centered around

the amusement park.

And the only amusement that

extends out onto the beach

is Dr. duryea's

creature emporium.

You mean the place where

joanie got her parchivient?

Yeah, and who

knows what else?

Then duryea

is the answer.

Well, not

the complete answer.

There's a couple

things I want to check on

that may give us

enough information

to force duryea
