Ellen Hutter
- Ellen Hutter: I have felt you... crawling like a serpent in my body.
- Count Orlok: It is not me. It is your own nature.
- Ellen Hutter: No! I love Thomas.
- Count Orlok: Love is inferior to you. I told you, you are not of Human kind.
- Ellen Hutter: You are a villain to speak so!
- Count Orlok: I am an appetite, nothing more.
- [first lines]
- Ellen Hutter: [sobbing] Come to me. Come to me. A guardian angel. A spirit of comfort. Spirit of any celestial sphere. Anything. Hear my call.
- [in her mind]
- Ellen Hutter: Come to me.
- Count Orlok: [telepathically, in subtitled Dacian] You.
- [Ellen goes into a trance and approaches Count Orlok's silhouette]
- Count Orlok: You wakened me from an eternity of darkness. You... You... You are not for the living. You are not for human kind. And shall you be one with me ever-eternally? Do you swear it?
- Ellen Hutter: I swear...
- Ellen Hutter: You are a deceiver.
- Count Orlok: You deceive yourself.
- Ellen Hutter: I was but an innocent child.
- Count Orlok: And thought you I would not return? Thought you I would not? Your passion is bound to me.
- Ellen Hutter: You cannot love.
- Count Orlok: I cannot. Yet I cannot be sated without you.
- [his breathing becomes lustful]
- Count Orlok: Remember how once we were. A moment. Remember?
- Ellen Hutter: I abhor you.
- Count Orlok: [screaming] You are false!
- Ellen Hutter: It was our wedding, yet not in chapel walls. The scent of the lilacs was strong in the rain... and when I reached the altar, you weren't there... Standing before me, all in black... was... Death. But I was so happy, so very happy. We exchanged vows, we embraced, and when we turned round, everyone was dead. Father... and... everyone. The stench of their bodies was horrible... it overwhelmed the lilacs... and... But I had never been so happy as that moment... as I held hands with Death.
- Count Orlok: I will leave you three nights! Tonight was the first!
- Ellen Hutter: Denied myself? You revel in my torture!
- Ellen Hutter: Do you ever feel at times as if you're not a person? What I wish to say is that you're not truly present, nor alive, as if you're at the whim of another, like a dog. Someone or something had the power to breath life into you, to move you.
- Ellen Hutter: I know. It must be me, Professor.
- Professor Albin Eberhart von Franz: I am but an able tourist in this occult world. You were born to it. It is a rare gift.
- Ellen Hutter: His pull to me is so powerful, so terrible, yet my spirit cannot be evil as his.
- Professor Albin Eberhart von Franz: We must know evil to be able to destroy it. We must discover it within ourselves and when we have, we must crucify the evil within ourselves or there is no salvation.
- Ellen Hutter: I need no salvation. My entire life I have done no ill but heed my nature.
- Professor Albin Eberhart von Franz: Then harken to it. I fear Nosferatu is impervious to any of our iron stakes. I am convinced only you have the faculty to redeem us.
- Ellen Hutter: I know him.
- Thomas Hutter: Know him?
- Ellen Hutter: I've brought this evil upon us. I have never shared my secret with any soul. I sought company. I sought tenderness and I called out.
- Thomas Hutter: What do you mean by this?
- Ellen Hutter: At first, it was sweet. I had never known such bliss.
- Thomas Hutter: Ellen.
- Ellen Hutter: Yet it turned to torture. It would kill me. But, Thomas, it was you that gave me the courage to be free of my shame. You.
- Thomas Hutter: What are you telling me?
- Ellen Hutter: Don't you understand?
- Thomas Hutter: Pray, help me to.
- Ellen Hutter: He is my shame. He is my melancholy. He took me as his lover then, and now he has come back. He has discovered our marriage and has come back.
- Thomas Hutter: Impossible.
- Ellen Hutter: He stalks me in my dreams. All my sleeping thoughts are of him every night.
- Anna Harding: Our friendship is a precious balm to my heart. Forgive my chiding you.
- Ellen Hutter: Thank you for loving me.
- Ellen Hutter: [Casting an evil look] You stopped your letters to me.
- Thomas Hutter: What?
- Ellen Hutter: You promised to write to me every day. Did not you think of me in that castle?
- Thomas Hutter: I did. I...
- Ellen Hutter: Lies.
- Thomas Hutter: After what you have just confessed, how...
- Ellen Hutter: He told me about you. He told me how foolish you were. How fearful. How like a child. How you fell into his arms as a swooning lily of a woman.
- Thomas Hutter: Ellen.
- Ellen Hutter: He told me how you sold me to him for gold.
- Thomas Hutter: No, I...
- Ellen Hutter: Our love was supposed to be sacred!
- Thomas Hutter: Ellen, please.
- Ellen Hutter: You never listen! Well, where is it? Your money? Your promotion? Your house? Where is that which is so precious to you? Have you paid back kind Harding your debt? Have you repaid him with this plague that infects his wife?
- Thomas Hutter: I left for us, for our future.
- Ellen Hutter: For what? For what? For these things!
- [Ellen knocks down a shelf full of objects in fury as her body shakes]
- Thomas Hutter: For you!
- Ellen Hutter: [Ellen is kneeling begging and clinging to Thomas' knees, suddenly she looks at him lasciviously] You could never please me as he could.
- [Thomas becomes enraged, picks her up in his arms and carries her to bed]
- Ellen Hutter: Yes! Take me! Please. Please!
- [They begin to have intercourse. She moans loudly]
- Ellen Hutter: Yes! Kiss me. Kiss my heart. My heart. Let him see. Let him see our love.
- Ellen Hutter: [Ellen's face changes and blood comes out of her mouth and eyes. Thomas walks away in fear. Ellen laughs maliciously and begins to convulse on the bed. Her face is normal again] Without you, I will become a demon.
- Thomas Hutter: Ellen. Ellen!
- [Thomas approaches Ellen again and tries to bring her back to her senses]
- Thomas Hutter: Ellen, it's me. Ellen. Ellen, I love you. I love you. You're safe with me. It's me. It's me.
- [Thomas hugs her, she breaks down in tears]
- Ellen Hutter: Keep away from me. I am unclean.
- Thomas Hutter: Never.
- Ellen Hutter: He will murder you if I do not go to him. We will be torn apart, and the world will be despair.
- Thomas Hutter: No. I'll kill him. Kill him I will. He shall never harm you again. Never.
- Ellen Hutter: Praaayyy, forgive me all the troubles I've caused.
- Anna Harding: I'm only glad you've become yourself again.
- Professor Albin Eberhart von Franz: I command you, hearken to my voice. By the protection of Chamuel, Haniel, and Zadkiel, impart your speech unto me. In the name of Eligos, Orabas, and Asmoday, impart your speech unto me!
- Ellen Hutter: I shall persist to join you every night, first in sleep, then in your arms. Everything will be mixed with abomination, and you'll be knee-deep in blood. Everyone will cry. There will be none to bury the dead.
