"Ha-ha! Rescued at last-- but only to be butchered by this she-devil!"
"I'm Abram. I'm the town's official healer. Please come visit my establishment... IF YOU DARE!"
"And then maybe I'll trust you more. Not much more. But some."
"You've earned precisely eight points of trust. And if you know anything about trust, you know that's being generous."
"You'll get them, right? Oh, you'll get them. I know you. I know your kind. Relentless and infallible. Hurrah!"
"But you have my undying moral support, from back at a nice, safe distance. And whenever you take medicines, think of me. THINK OF ME!!"
Aeon
"S-Saved! Guess the eternal bliss of paradise will have to wait, hmm?"
"I'm Aeon, the chef. I've worked in all kinds of restaurants. One time it was for three whole weeks!"
"Get me Salt. Why don't I go myself? Because I'm the chef. Why should you go get it? Because you're not a chef. That's how things work. Well, get to work, then. My kitchen's going to waste without you!"
"Now it's time to break out those old chef instincts, honed in the fires of many a kitchen. ...And voila!"
"Wow! Fishtastic! ...Right?"
"I'm not going to taste it. Taste is overrated. Last time I tasted my own fish, I passed out and upset some people. Never again!"
"I've finally realized why the restaurants I worked at all went out of business. And I think I know why you're my only customer. Feel free to disagree, but I think it might be because my food stinks!"
"See, I figured everyone has different tastes, so why bother trying to make something taste good? Can't please everyone, right? Wrong."
"Who knew that paying attention to taste could make food taste better? It's taken me over 20 years to get here, but that's how tough it is to be a chef. I hope you can also become good at your profession by the time you're my age."
"Well, you've made me a master chef. I can't ask any more of you. ...So why are you still my only customer? Did my cooking get too fancy, or what? That must be it. I raised the bar too high."
Albus
"...You said it yourself: each of us has a role. And, like a fine master, you've finally shown me what mine must be."
"You are my master no longer... Farewell, Barlowe."
"We've been over this... My place is no longer as the old man's errand boy. I have a role to fulfill, and fulfill it I shall."
"But think about it: where does a Glyph's power come from? Nothing comes from nothing, after all."
"What... kind of brother would I be...if I didn't protect you...? That's... my role."
"It would seem the blood of the holy whip's legacy makes many things possible. One of life's fortunate miracles, you might say."
"No need to concern yourself with the affairs of my heart."
Albus (Dracula)
"All of humanity is merely cattle, led to slaughter at my behest. I, Lord Dracula! Give yourself as sustenance to me, weak, foolish human! That will be your honor!!"
Barlowe
"Your memories may have fled, but you must not. Hear me-- your warrior's instincts must endure."
"From netherworlds, I call your enemy! Use everything you've learned to stand your ground. And be our greatest warrior once again!"
"Know this: it's he who robbed your memories blind. He cost you that, and cost mankind its wish. Its only hope, and you must take it back."
"In Castlevania's shadow, evil thrives. Its memory alone attracts foul fiends. To win, one must exploit their weaknesses."
"He must believe it's for some 'greater good...' But I'll take the Lord's plan over his. And if you're forced to choose, you know what's right."
"To give your life that man might live his dreams... Do you not see how wonderful that is?"
"Dammit! I was so close! I could... taste the power..."
"...I will give my life to undo the seal, Master. Return to us, Lord Dracula!"
Daniela
"Well, home I go. Don't worry. Old Dracula himself wouldn't bother with blood this stale..."
"My Grandfather and I would always bake together. That man loved sweets. Especially in the middle of a good, old-fashioned monster hunt."
"Where you were born isn't a big deal. What's important is where you die."
"But yes, if you live for a long time, you tend to lose all sorts of things. I lost my hat last week. What was it before that? I've lost a lot of things."
"We've lost lots of things, but... sometimes we gain things too, you know? Like you, for example. Like myself. We've each gained a friend. Now, those are priceless, so let's not lose them."
Dracula
"Bah ha ha ha ha ha! What an amusing woman! Come to me, child; I haven't danced in ages!"
"What nonsense is this? You will never defeat me with such feeble tricks!"
Eugen
"I don't remember hearing his voice, but I saw his eyes. He's got a purpose. I can tell you that. Good or bad purpose? That I couldn't say."
"Father Nikolai saved my life way back when. I asked him how to pay that debt, and he just said, 'Do what you can.' So, here I am, just doing what I can, where I am, with what I have. You do what you can, too."
"Look, if you have to go out there and push yourself, fine. But if you lose, my armor loses too. So don't die. I don't care if you have to crawl back, just don't die. My reputation's at stake."
"Well, fine. You trust my armor, I'll trust your strength, and that's that."
Georg
"Your timing is impeccable! For I have just composed an ode to terror!"
"Ah, but no ordinary quill can express the tortured soul of a true artist! I wouldn't expect you to understand-- no one does."
"Now, with this mighty quill, I engrave my place in the hallowed scroll of history! This haunted land has blessed me with its taints and torments."
Irina
"What're you saying? Don't tell me some man has you in his clutches already. Men are beasts, you know. Especially the ones out there, howling at the moon, keeping me up."
"It's never easy for a woman to raise two children alone. But when they smile, all the hardship just disappears. There's really nothing I'd rather be doing than living for my children."
Laura
"Eh, I don't want to know. Whatever's past is past, right?"
"You know, you dress like you're in mourning. Waste of a finely shaped--"
"You don't smile much. You should! Men'd be lining up at your door."
"Trying so hard to touch your heart... It taught me a few things about mine. I ran away once. My master kept pointing out my faults, and I ran away from him, but my faults came with me. You helped me get rid of them. I know what good I can do now, though. For my work, and for him."
Marcel
"Witches and wizards, strange magic, hordes of monsters... Marcel, my good man, welcome to the Front Page!"
"You, for example! A beautiful witch-- and please don't take offense; you are gorgeous, I have to say. 'Beautiful Witch Entrances Remote Village!' There we go. A perfect headline."
"Wow! Just... wow! So this is a Jersey Devil! And it's neither a devil, nor wearing a jersey... Well, whatever."
Monica
"Oh! Wh-What did I do to deserve to be saved by such a beautiful angel?"
Nikolai
"Just thinking of it chills my soul-- he used a device to take some of our blood. ...Could he be the monster whispered of in legend? ...Dracula?"
"Some of us have not yet returned... Unless Heaven has already called them... No. I must believe in God's protection. And in yours..."
"God brought us all here, and bid us to build these homes in this place. He's provided for us ever since, even in our darkest hours."
Serge
"You know, I keep on asking you for help or hoping for good luck... But I think I get it now. I have to be tough and brave on my own. So I'll work on that."
Shanoa
"Our sole purpose is to destroy Dracula, so people can look to dawn without fearing the darkness."
"For that reason, I will become Dominus, the blade to banish all evil."
"Is this why you betrayed our master? Did you trade your home, your life, just to be consumed by this darkness? What did you hope to gain!? Answer me."
"Even in this state, without any memory of the man you once were, I pity you. It's my duty to free you from this suffering; to ensure you don't meet such an end. Rest in peace, Albus."
"...Albus...? Don't go, Albus! ...You gave up your life for my sake, and I don't feel anything. I can't even shed a tear... ...Why was everything stolen from me!?"
"Here I am... It's all gone. ...What little I had, anyway. No, that's not true, there's one thing left... ...My mission. I'm the only one left who can end this."
"Hear me, Dracula! I am the morning sun, come to vanquish this horrible night!"
"You can't stir emotions that don't exist."
"I lost my emotions. An absent heart cannot stir."
Tom (Cat)
"I'll protect Anna, even if she is high maintenance..."
Conversations:
1) Barlowe and Shanoa
Barlowe: "Of course! Ecclesia's mission is to realize the singular wish of all mankind: the resurrection of our lord, Count Dracula!"
Shanoa: "Mankind wishes for no such thing."
Barlowe: "Dracula's power comes from the darkness in people's hearts-- our hearts. Ask yourself then, why does he continue to return, regardless of defeat? Because our hearts yearn for Dracula's presence! Haaaa ha ha ha ha ha!"
2) Dracula and Shanoa
Dracula: "Such a lovely maiden... Are you the one to whom I owe this great pleasure? Tell me your desire, child. Is it eternal life you seek? A place at my side?"
Shanoa: "I am not your benefactor."
Dracula: "No? Then please... Tell me of yourself. Surely you've realized my company comes at a price."
Shanoa: "I am the blade to banish all evil, and I've come to see you annihilated. The time of your destruction is at hand; die, Demon Lord Dracula!"
3) Albus and Shanoa
Shanoa: "...You're taking my place!? Albus, no! You've already done so much,
and I haven't repaid you!"
Albus: "No arguments, Shanoa. This is my role."
Shanoa: "No, I...!"
Albus: "If you want to repay me, then you can grant one final wish."
Shanoa: "...Anything."
Albus: "Smile for me. That will be enough."
