Helen Kent : [after Klove leaves to get their dinner] Please, let's leave here.
Charles Kent : Oh dinner sounds like a splendid idea.
Diana Kent : I agree!
Helen Kent : Diana! You can't!
Diana Kent : Oh, why not? Ten minutes ago we were stranded in the cold, miles away from anywhere. Now we're warm. We're going to be fed. And if that man's master is anything like I think he's going to be, we're going to be entertained as well.
Charles Kent : Yes, Diana's right. Let's sit down.

Charles Kent : [as Klove starts to serve dinner] What's your name?
Klove : Klove, sir.
Charles Kent : Well, uh, Kove, isn't your master joining us for dinner?
Klove : No, sir. I'm afraid not.
Charles Kent : Is he indisposed?
Klove : [matter-of-factly] He's dead.
Charles Kent : [hesitates] I'm sorry if we appear a little dense. Perhaps you could explain?
Klove : Explain, sir?
Charles Kent : Yes, you seem to have expected us. Ah, this dinner. our rooms, the carriage... everything.
Klove : You see, sir, my master is dead but instructions were left that the castle should always be ready to receive guests. I am merely carrying out his wishes.
Charles Kent : I see. Who was your master?
Klove : His name was Count Dracula. An old and distinguished family. That is the coat of arms over the fireplace.
[points to the fireplace]
Charles Kent : Does no one hold the title now?
Klove : My master died without issue, sir... In the accepted sense of the term.

Diana Kent : Horace Peabody.
Charles Kent : Right first try.
Diana Kent : Did you enjoy your port, cigars and man's talk?
Charles Kent : No, not very much, but then, you know, it takes female company for me to sh... who's Horace Peabody?
Diana Kent : An old beau of mine. Before your time, darling.
Charles Kent : There was no before my time. You were a schoolgirl in pigtails.
Diana Kent : Even schoolgirls have their moments.
