The Night Stalker

[about his vampire story]

Carl Kolchak:
Judge for yourself its believability and then try to tell yourself, wherever you may be, it couldn't happen here.

Carl Kolchak:
[singing] I'll take Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island, too. Watch out you great big wonderful Big Apple, Kolchak's coming back. Yeah!

Carl Kolchak:
Don't look now, baby, but Kolchak's coming back in style.

Dr. Robert Makurji:
[referring to Kolchak's theory about the murders] Mr. Paine, I shouldn't be so inclined to reject Mr. Kolchak's theory out of hand if I were you. It is at best highly speculative, but not altogether unwarranted.

Gail Foster:
[is woken by Carl] Ohhhh, I'm sorry. I guess I fell asleep.

Carl Kolchak:
Yes.

Gail Foster:
What were you saying?

Carl Kolchak:
You do great things for my masculine ego, you know?

Gail Foster:
Yeah.

Carl Kolchak:
Actually, I was saying that I think Vincenzo has the news sense of a tree stump. [starts getting excited] It's got to be one man. It's got to be. Big, strong, psychotic.

Gail Foster:
You're certainly making me very glad that I work nights.

Carl Kolchak:
Well, I told you to quit working nights, didn't I? [They start to kiss when the phone rings. Kolchak sighs and relutantly answers it] . Kolchak. [His face lights up as he listens to the person on the other end of the line] . I am forever in your debt, love. [He hangs up the phone and starts to get dressed quickly]

Gail Foster:
What was that?

Carl Kolchak:
The killer's done it again.

Gail Foster:
[Horrified] Oh, no.

Carl Kolchak:
Only this time, he was seen.

Carl Kolchak:
[picking up phone] Kolchak.

Dr. John O'Brien:
Hi, Carl. I just thought you'd like to know I heard the Parkway Hospital was knocked over.

Carl Kolchak:
Yeah? Knocked over for what? Cash, drugs, equipment, what?

[shocked reaction to the response]

Carl Kolchak:
Blood?

Dr. John O'Brien:
That's right. Every container in the place. Their entire stock.

Carl Kolchak:
What about blood type?

Dr. John O'Brien:
Seems blood type and Rh factor didn't much matter

Carl Kolchak:
This nut thinks he's a vampire!

District Attorney Tom Paine:
[after a disastrously failed capture attempt of Skorzeny] Well, what are we gonna do?

Carl Kolchak:
[from the back of the room] *Now* are you willing to listen to my insane ideas?

Sheriff Warren A. Butcher:
[angrily] Kolchak, get out of here!

District Attorney Tom Paine:
Warren, hold it, hold it! Kolchak, you were there, weren't you?

Carl Kolchak:
Yes.

District Attorney Tom Paine:
Every man we've questioned insists not only that Skorzeny was possessed of incredible strength, but that he was shot more than once during the capture attempt.

Carl Kolchak:
[sarcastically] Oh, I'd say thirty or forty times.

Police Chief Ed Masterson:
I'm sorry, I'm not buying that.

Carl Kolchak:
Captain, you have two choices. Either he was shot, or your entire police department is blind.

District Attorney Tom Paine:
[sees Masterson getting angry] Ed, let's admit it. We had the man, had him cornered, and we couldn't hold him. Let Kolchak have his say.

Carl Kolchak:
[sarcastically, when Vincenzo criticizes his story] How about a special featurette, with a border of roses? An interview with the two girl victims, in Heaven, with a cellestial choir in the background.

Carl Kolchak:
[voiceover] Sherman Duffy of the New York Herald once said, "A newspaperman is the loneliest guy on earth. Socially he ranks somewhere between a hooker and a bartender. Spritually he stands with Galileo, because he knows the world is round."

[Sarcastically]

Carl Kolchak:
Not that it matters much, when his editor knows its flat.

Bernie Jenks:
Subject Janos Skorzeny: born in Romania in 1899.

Sheriff Warren A. Butcher:
You mean to tell me this guy is over 70 years old? Come on, Bernie. Your boys have come up with the wrong man!

Carl Kolchak:
Rumor has it that the day Anthony Albert Vincenzo was born, his father left town. The story may be apocryphal, but I believe it. The only point I wonder about is why his mother didn't leave too.
