Carl Kolchak and Deputy Sample in “The Vampire”

Listen, tell me, uh... Tell me, Mr... Mr. Sample, what time does the coroner think that Mr. Mitchell died?

Oh, I'd say about 5:00, 5:30 a.m. I think he lost conciseness way before then.

Beautiful country you got up here. Just gorgeous. Gorgeous country. Fresh, clean air, bright sunshine.

Yes, it's very beautiful.

It is indeed. Tell me, what time does the sun usually come up around here?

In the morning, early.

Oh, I know that! What time, about 5:00, 5:30?

Well, it depends on the season. Why would you want to know that?

Because I think that's about the time Mr. Mitchell was murdered.

You been chewing mescal? Who said he was murdered? I say he died of exposure. You know, Mitchell done stole that car in Vegas. Then he decided to repaint it, and that's why he taped the windows.

[looks at Mitchell's car] Where did he repaint it, huh? On the inside? I mean, that's where the windows are taped. [knocks against the window] On the inside.

You're one of them fellows who likes to hear himself talk, ain't you?

Tell me, did Mr. Mitchell have a couple of puncture marks on his throat, like fang marks?

The last nosy fellow who come through Barstow, somebody done come out and punctured all his tires.

Is that a fact?

Yes, he did.

Thank you very much for your advice, Mr. Sample. It's been a pleasure meeting you and your dog.
