Penny Dreadful Season 3 Episode 4: "A Blade of Grass" Quotes
Vanessa: What name do I whisper to you, beloved?
Dracula: I am the demon. I am the dragon. My name is Dracula.
So I see you clear now. Two brothers fallen from grace. The spirit and the animal. You seek my soul. You, my body. But both are promised to another. He who vanquished you. He who is my protector and stands with me, even now.
Vanessa
Dracula: Who are you to defy me?
Vanessa: I am nothing. I am no more than a blade of grass. But I am. You think you know evil? Here it stands.
Orderly: I'll tell you what happened. I was at home, yesterday night past. And I was helping my son with a wooden ship model. That's something we do. And he asked me about the ship. I said it was a kind of ship used for exploring the seas. And he said, "Where do they explore, father?" And I told him everywhere. The orient. Peru. And even the frozen north. And he says, "What's that, Father?" And so I told him. "It's the places all covered with snow. North of Scotland and even beyond that." And he said, "Do people live there?" And I said to him, "No, it's too cold and lonely all the time. No one lives there." And I started to cry and I couldn't stop. My son took my hand, and I couldn't stop crying.
Vanessa: Why?
Orderly: Because I realized I was wrong. One person does live there. Where it's cold and lonely all the time. So I tendered my resignation. I'll stay long enough to see you tomorrow. The last person you see before the surgery will be someone who loves you.
You once said we name things so they don't frighten us. I'm not frightened. His name is Dracula.
Vanessa
