Ripper: Well I, ah, I . . . I first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love.
Mandrake: [sighs fearfully]
Ripper: Yes a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I was able to interpret these feelings correctly: loss of essence.
Mandrake: Yes...
Ripper: I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women... women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake, but I do deny them my essence.
Now just hold on to that thought, an ole' bucky will be back before you can say BLASTOFF!
Best movie of all time: )
