Hotel Transylvania Page #5

Synopsis: In 1895, Dracula builds a resort in Transylvania, hidden from the humans, to raise his beloved daughter Mavis in a safe environment. In the present, the place is the Hotel Transylvania, where monsters bring their families to vacation far from the frightening humans. Dracula invites his friends - Frankenstein and his wife Eunice; Wayne and Wanda, the werewolves; Griffin, the invisible man; Murray, the mummy; Bigfoot, among others - to celebrate the 118th birthday of Mavis. When the party is ready to start, the 21-year-old Jonathan is walking through the forest and stumbles upon the hotel. Dracula sees Jonathan and disguises him as a monster to hide Jonathan from the guests. But Mavis also sees Jonathan and Dracula forces him to pose as a monster. Soon Mavis believes that Jonathan is the "zing" of her life despite the advice of her father about humans.

Eat my dust, gray fangs!

56 and 43, to my side.

Prepare to cry, Billy Backpack.

-That's how we do it! Half-pipe, baby!

-Whatever.

Yes. Keep smelling.

You catch the human,

and then l will make human potpie!

27, 45, 65, 76, 48, block his path.

Block his path!

Come on now, dude man!

Nice!

l got you, buddy.

Do not disturb!

People trying to sleep here!

Did you see that?

Who is that guy, Sir Breaks-a-lot?

Oh, boy, l have to say, that was fun. Okay?

The fun you were talking about earlier?

Nailed it!

Johnny?

Quasimodo!

Mavis? Why are you still up? The sun is out.

lt could kill you, my honeyguts.

l couldn't sleep.

Do you know where Johnny went?

l don't know. He...

Why do you want to know?

-Do you like him?

-What?

No. Come on, Dad.

He's so weird and awkward.

lt's like, are you an idiot

or do you know you're adorable?

Hold that.

-Do you have a location on Quasimodo?

-Yes, sir.

They're heading through the lobby,

towards the kitchen.

l need them stopped immediately.

-ls that clear?

-Yes, quite.

We are on it.

Missed!

What is the meaning of this? Let me pass!

Quasimodo Wilson, you are coming with us.

Why did that hurt me?

Look, honey,

there's no falling in love at your age.

Mom was my age.

Eunice says Mom kissed you first

'cause you were too scared

to make the first move.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Forget about me and Mom and kissing.

Dad, at some point, l'm going to get married.

-l can't be here forever.

-What? Why not?

You're barely out of your training fangs.

Quasi wins again!

When you bump with the hump,

you land on your rump!

But why all the sudden interest?

Every time we used to talk

about love, it was always,

"Dad, that's gross,"

and "Dad, l don't want to know about that."

l don't know.

-Sir, he made it into the kitchen.

-He what?

What do l pay you for?

l'm sorry, honey. l have to go.

He doesn't pay me.

Before you kill me,

can l please talk to my backpack

one more time?

l don't want to leave anything unresolved.

Bonjour, Monsieur Dracula!

Shut your hump hole.

Now you are helping him?

What is it with you and this human?

He is not human. He's a Stein!

That's right, little man, l'm a Stein!

lf he is a monster, let him scare Esmeralda!

The mouse?

Without a doubt.

Okay. Here we go.

A human! A human!

Monsieur Dracula

has brought a human into the...

Esmeralda, help me.

Hey, thanks for saving me back there.

That guy's crazy! Trying to eat me.

That's only happened to me one other time.

This weird dude at a Slipknot concert.

There's something l need to show you.

Wow.

Hey, are we at a funeral right now?

Oh, wait, no, it's your bed.

So creepy and cool.

Wow! l know her!

l've seen that picture at the ruins of Lubov.

That's my favorite castle.

-There's a whole legend around that lady.

-A legend?

The Lady Lubov.

The story is that a lonely count

met her by chance,

and they say that no two souls

were ever more meant for each other.

Eventually, they settled down

at CastIe Lubov and had a chiId.

But then, a horrible tragedy happened.

A fire started mysteriously one night,

and it kiIIed both of them.

When l was at the castle,

l could still feel their powerful love.

They say it's as if a soul is still trapped

in the ruins themselves.

The legend is wrong.

lt was only the wife that died.

And it was no mystery who killed her.

She was killed by your kind!

Vampire!

-Honey?

-Go hide. l'll take care of this.

Vampire!

Martha!

They are the real monsters.

l built this place for my love,

to protect her child.

As a father, you do everything

to keep your family safe,

even if you have to break their trust.

But now, Mavis has feelings for you.

What?

l just...

-Awesome.

-lt's all right.

You are a good one.

lf the world was different,

maybe it would be possible.

Drac, this is the 21 st century.

People aren't the same

as they were back then.

Can you tell me for certain

that if we came out in the open,

everyone would accept us?

Everyone?

No. You're right.

l'll go for good this time.

You can just say l had some emergency,

or the gremlin lady ate me or something.

No, no, no, no, no.

l don't want to ruin her birthday party.

You can sneak out after it's all done.

l'm sorry.

The last thing l wanted was to hurt her.

Or you.

You know,

you're not the smoothest Frankenstein,

but you'd make a great vampire.

For real?

'Cause l think l kind of got

your hypno-eyes down.

Oh, boy, here we go. Let me see it.

Beware! For you are in my power.

l command you to be the werewolf man!

l have too many kids.

Someone scratch me, l have fleas.

'Cause he's a wolf, he'd get those.

Yeah, no, don't explain it.

lt's not funny when you do that.

l didn't order a wake-up call.

Count Dracula arranged it for all the rooms.

Where's the snooze button?

There will be no snoozing. The party's today.

Yeah, perfecto.

Girl

l can't believe it's your big night

You ate your frogs, now the party's so right

Where did the time go, girl?

And, girl, you used to suck a binky

Look at you now

You're sucking blood

right out of the cow

Wow.

You look beautiful.

Thanks. Thanks for the party.

Yeah, you like my little touches?

lt's amazing.

-Terrific party.

-You really outdid yourself, Drac.

Got to be the best one

l've been to in 500 years.

Sorry, big man.

Mavis?

l'm crazily scared right now.

Maybe that's a good thing.

How could you?

After l shared my pain with you?

-But, no...

-Dad, it was just a kiss.

No, you're not allowed to kiss.

Dad, l'm allowed to do things.

l'm not 83 anymore.

l'm allowed to like people,

or go see the world again.

What? You saw it! You said you didn't like it!

Maybe l want to give

the village another chance.

l just need to learn, you know,

just how to roll with it, like Johnny does.

No, no, you can't go to the village again.

Maybe you can make them see

that we could be friends.

No, that isn't possible.

Well, you can't be sure.

lt's all in how you present yourself.

-No, that won't make a difference!

-How do you know?

-Because it just won't!

-Why? Why won't it?

Because that village doesn't really exist!

What do you mean "doesn't exist"?

What did you do?

l did what l had to do.

What was it?

What exactly did you have to do? Tell me!

l... l built the town.

The staff put it all together.

The zombies dressed up

as the townspeople.

Please.

lf you really went out there

and something happened to you,

l just couldn't live with myself.

But you can live with this? Lying to me?
