Choice dialogue:
Valerie: “I like the seaside in winter.”
Elizabeth Báthory: “Aren’t those crimes horrifying? And yet, so fascinating.”
Retired policeman: “Ah, madam, those Bruges murders are rather special. One might say classic. The kinds of things you read about in medieval manuscripts. You know, silly tales about ghouls chased away by garlic. And vampires shrinking from crosses. And running water. And daylight.”
Valerie (to Elizabeth): “I despise you. You’re disgusting!”
