Before she gets herself bitten by Dracula and becomes "A bitch of the Devil! A whore of darkness!", Mina's best friend Lucy (Sadie Frost) is in the middle of a conundrum - she's got three very different very fine suitors all clamoring for her hand. (Let's be nice and say it's her "hand" they're clamoring for.) They are the rich Texan Quincey Morris (played by the dreamy Billy Campbell), who always carries an extra-big Bowie knife where ever he goes...
... the would-be-Lord Arthur Holmwood (played by the still dreamy at this point Cary Elwes)...
... and the asylum-keeper Dr. John "Jack" Seward (played by the, uh, Richard E. Grant).
Just before succumbing to vampire-fever Lucy picks Arthur since he's the responsible pick that her family will most approve of (showing she's not nearly the wild thing she pretends to be, just before being turned into the wild thing anyway), but let's pretend it's our choice to make: Which one would you put on the frill-necked wedding gown for, which one would you sneak off to the garden to reenact scenes from Arabian Nights with, and which would you send off scurrying into the night without his supper?
