Your deep paranaoia and your false presumptions about me, and about evolutionary biology, are duly noted.
Any day now, I expect to hear you tell me that I'm involved in the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of your precious bodily fluids.
General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden)
Well, I, first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love... Yes, a uh, a profound sense of fatigue... a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I... I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence.... can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women uh... women sense my power and they seek the life essence. I, uh... I do not avoid women, Mandrake.... But I... I do deny them my essence."
--General Ripper
