Didn't we have something
to say to him?

:50:09
Max? The great
Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau...

:50:13
went to Berlin to find
a new photographer.

:50:16
Wolf is probably dead.
So you can take
your funny ears off.

:50:20
Alb, please.
The man is an artist.

:50:24
Ask him some
vampire questions.

:50:26
[ Albin ]
When did you become a vampire?

:50:29
I can't recall.
:50:32
Where were you born--
were you born?

:50:34
I can't remember.
:50:38
[ Laughing ]
It's not funny anymore.

:50:40
Come on, Count Dracula
wouldn't say
he couldn't remember.

:50:44
I read that book.
Murnau gave it to me.

:50:51
Well, now this
is a golden opportunity.
Speaking as a vampire,

:50:55
what do you make
of the book's
technical merits?

:50:58
It made me sad.
:51:00
[ Albin ]
Why sad?

:51:04
Because Dracula
had no servants.

:51:06
I think you missed
the point of the book,
Count Orlock.

:51:11
Dracula hasn't had servants
in 400 years,

:51:15
and then a man
comes to his ancestral home,

:51:18
and he must convince him
that he--

:51:21
that he is like the man.
:51:23
He has to feed him,
:51:26
when he himself
hasn't eaten food
in centuries.

:51:30
Can he even remember
how to buy bread?

:51:35
How to select
cheese and wine?

:51:38
And then he remembers
the rest of it.

:51:42
How to prepare a meal,
how to make a bed.

:51:47
He remembers
his first glory,

:51:51
his armies,
his retainers,

:51:54
and what
he is reduced to.

:51:59
The loneliest part
of the book comes...
