[The scene is the inside of a rather fanciful Mexican dive bar. Dracula, hair down and askew and a sloppy smile on his face, occasionally swings into view as the camera wobbles around. He has a big bone vuvuzela propped on one shoulder and a very squawky bone parrot on the other.]

Drake! I found you a pet! Isn't he charming?

Count? There you are. My item isn't so good at pointing the way.

[And Armand does briefly drop his to cover his ears.]

Oh! Don't make that noise again in my hearing. What on earth is it for? Terrifying one's enemies on the battlefield, like an unstrung harp?

[And now he picks it up again and shakes his head.]

Let me catch up with you, and if you have control of your legs yet, I would appreciate the company and the advice while I search.
