personages from
the dark continent.
:01:07
I hope the reception was not boring
for you and your lovely wife.
:01:11
Quite the contrary,
Count Dracula.
:01:13
The evening has been
a splendid one,
:01:15
and we've found your guests
to be most impressive.
:01:19
I liked in particular
your Dr. Duvalier.
:01:23
It was you who impressed him.
:01:24
Mamuwalde is the crystallization
of our people's pride.
:01:29
My Luva... she does me
too much credit.
:01:32
But notwithstanding,
my people are eager
:01:35
to bring our ancient culture
into the community of nations.
:01:39
That may take
a good deal of time.
:01:42
It will at least be time well spent,
:01:45
as opposed
to an exchange of banalities
:01:47
with pseudo-intellectuals
and dilettantes.
:01:51
Charming.
:01:53
What with dignitaries
of your stature
:01:55
lending the weight
of your statesmanship
:01:57
to the fulfillment
of our objectives,
:02:00
I believe we will succeed.
:02:02
Luva?
:02:13
To totally cease the slave trade?
I find that unrealistic.
:02:18
Slavery has merit, I believe.
:02:22
Merit?
:02:23
You find merit in barbarity?
:02:27
Barbarous from the standpoint
of the slave, perhaps.
:02:31
Intriguing and delightful
from mine.
:02:34
I would pay for so beautiful an addition
to my household as your delicious wife.
:02:38
Sir, are you ill?
:02:41
I meant no insult, prince.
:02:45
It is a compliment
for a man of my station
:02:48
to look with desire
on one of your color.
:02:52
Sir, I suddenly find
your cognac as...
:02:57
...distasteful as your manner.
