Note: ''The Vampire Bat'' is a 1933 American pre-Code horror film directed by Frank R. Strayer and starring Lionel Atwill, Fay Wray, Melvyn Douglas, and Dwight Frye. Some extra notes:
* The character Gussie Schnappmann, the hypochondriac who is the film's comic relief, uses a great deal of medical jargon, some of which is spoken incorrectly, which may or may not have been a purposeful improvisation. For example, "chordae tendineae" was said incorrectly by her in one line to sound like "cordac tendonseae". In this transcription, instances of these mispronunciations are generally changed to the correct words.
* A few character names—Weingarten and Doctor Holdstadt—are never mentioned in the film itself, but their names have been inferred in the transcription from descriptions in contemporary film magazines and newspaper articles linking these unmentioned character names to their actors.

{{ft|Bürgermeister Gustave Schoen|Well, I'll show you. I'll show you. Now, ah, here it is. "And on this day was von Haussmann hanged from a gibbet in the public square, after being convicted on a proven charge of vampirism. And on this same day, there did occur the departure of the bats—thousands of horrible flying creatures which infested the town for weeks. And on the night of this same day, February 13, in the year of our Lord 1643, was there a stake driven through von Haussmann's heart, and his head cut off with a gravedigger's shovel." There.}}

{{ft/d|
{{ft|Bürgermeister Gustave Schoen|You saw the bodies, all of them—two wounds on the neck right at the jugular vein; two wounds on the neck pierced and spread apart just as if two fang-like teeth had bitten through the flesh and right into the veins; and in every case, a blood clot, eight inches from the victim's neck—the mark of the feast, the Devil's signature.}}

----
20:42
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Doctor Haupt|I diagnosed the wounds as having been made by needle-sharp teeth. Punctures are clean-cut, penetrating into, but not beyond, the jugular vein.}}

21:15
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Doctor von Niemann|A certain species, yes. There are vampire bats. Doctor William Jameson, who explored many of the tributaries of the upper Amazon, states that bloodsucking bats do exist. He further asserts the victims often become blood drinkers themselves, citing a case in which he saw a native tortured to death on an ant hill by his tribe brothers. They swore he had become a human bat. And, states Jameson, he confessed it.}}

{{ft|Doctor von Niemann|What seems to be the ailment this morning?}}
}}
----
24:58
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Gussie Schnappmann|Well, Doctor, I am positive that I have valvular disease of the aorta. Or maybe it's...the right ventricle. There is something wrong with my heart. I can hear it beat—thump, thump, thump, thump—just like the book says.}}
}}

25:12
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Doctor von Niemann|Well, if you didn't hear it beating—thump, thump, thump—just as the book says, I would say there is something wrong.}}

{{ft/d|

26:17
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Ruth Bertin|You mean salicylic acid, don't you?}}

26:19
{{ft/d|

{{ft|Doctor von Niemann|Ah, this is it. ''{{w|Traité sur les apparitions des esprits et sur les vampires}}'', by [[Author:Antoine Augustin Calmet|Augustin Dom Calmet]], in 1746. "Let us suppose that these corpses do not actually stir from their tombs, but only the ghosts or spirits appear to the living. Wherefore do these phantoms present themselves and what is it that energizes them? Is it actually the soul of the dead man which has not yet departed to its final destination?"}}
}}
----
29:26
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Gussie Schnappmann|Fiddlesticks. Now, how could a corpse buried under four or five feet of earth get out to do any such foolishness? I don't believe it.}}
}}
----
29:35
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Karl Brettschneider|It's a fair question, Doctor. How could it?}}
}}
----
29:38
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Doctor von Niemann|Well, according to accepted theory, the vampire dematerializes its body and reintegrates it outside the grave.}}
}}
----
29:45
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Gussie Schnappmann|It's a good explanation if you can believe it. And while I'm standing here listening to all this rubbish, there's a poor man in the garden in danger of a tetanus infection. Now, what should I do for him, Doctor? Shall I apply Mercurochrome, or a 2% solution of dichloride?}}
}}
----
29:58
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Doctor von Niemann|Well, either will do. Get some gauze and some Mercurochrome, Emil.}}

{{ft|Gussie Schnappmann|Thank you, Doctor. I'll wait here.}}

30:04
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Doctor von Niemann|Difficult to believe, isn't it?}}
}}
----
30:06
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Karl Brettschneider|It's impossible to believe. And yet, it would explain these deaths, wouldn't it?}}
}}

30:17
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Bürgermeister Gustave Schoen|Ah, Brettschneider. Pardon our intrusion, Doctor von Niemann, but after what you saw last night, you'll be interested in this, as well.}}

}}
----
30:26
{{ft/d|

{{ft|Karl Brettschneider|What?}}

{{ft/d|
{{ft|Weingarten|Now are you convinced that we were right and you were wrong?}}

{{ft/d|
{{ft|Bürgermeister Gustave Schoen|Well, Brettschneider?}}

30:50

}}
----
30:58
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Sauer|What good will that do? He is the vampire. There's only one thing for us to do when we find him—kill him and drive a stake through his heart.}}

----
31:07

{{ft|Doctor von Niemann|I know, Karl. Our saner, calmer judgment tells us that such things can't be, and yet...here, for instance, in this ponderous tome are cited 1,001 phobias and complexes that human beings are heir to. Some of them are strange, more untenable even than werewolves and vampires. Yeah, could I have some more please?}}

{{ft/d|
{{ft|Ruth Bertin|Don't worry about that.}}
}}
----
48:01
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Gussie Schnappmann|I heard every word he said, and I don't think there's any use of them searching for Hermann. They should look for a dog, a human-faced dog.}}

48:08
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Ruth Bertin|Auntie, the doors and windows are all locked. There's nothing to be afraid of now.}}

{{ft|Gussie Schnappmann|Why, who said I was afraid? I'm not a bit afraid.}}

----
48:14

{{ft|Ruth Bertin|No, of course you're not afraid, but you must get some rest.}}

{{ft/d|
{{ft|Doctor von Niemann|Find anything, Karl?}}

{{ft|Karl Brettschneider|There's an unbroken cobweb in that window. If Hermann did it, he came through the door.}}
}}
----
48:42
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Doctor von Niemann|He must have. And yet, I don't understand how he could find his way up here without us hearing him. Yet Emil was asleep, and I was in the library. Yes, he could've done it. The facts all point to it. What was it, Emil?}}

49:21
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Karl Brettschneider|About Hermann?}}

49:22
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Bürgermeister Gustave Schoen|Yes. He fell into the Devil's Well, in the cave.}}

49:27
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Karl Brettschneider|He's dead?}}
}}
----
49:28
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Bürgermeister Gustave Schoen|Dead as a doornail. This ends our troubles, Karl. The vampire's dead. I can feel it in my bones.}}

49:35
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Karl Brettschneider|Hm, well, your bones may be wrong. What time did this happen?}}
}}
----
49:40
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Bürgermeister Gustave Schoen|Quite early, about 9 o'clock. The cave is nearly two hours from here. That's why we didn't hear it sooner.}}
}}
----
49:47
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Karl Brettschneider|Well, it may interest you to know that there's been another death, after your vampire died.}}

{{ft/d|
{{ft|Bürgermeister Gustave Schoen|Mother of mercy! What are we going to do?}}
}}
----
50:00
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Doctor von Niemann|But a natural death wouldn't kill a vampire, Karl. You know the accepted theory—a stake driven through the heart?}}

{{ft/d|
{{ft|Karl Brettschneider|Oh, yes, that's the theory all right.}}

50:09
{{ft/d|

50:10
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Bürgermeister Gustave Schoen|But they did. They drove a stake through his heart.}}
}}

50:14
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Karl Brettschneider|Good god, are we living in the Middle Ages?}}
}}
----
50:15
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Bürgermeister Gustave Schoen|It wasn't through my sanction, Karl. But Sauer did it. He told me so himself.}}
}}
----
50:23
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Karl Brettschneider|Well, that ends the vampire theory as far as I'm concerned. Hermann Gleib died in the accepted fashion for killing a vampire. Oh, no, there's some human agency at work here, Doctor—a madman, who kills to satisfy some violent, sadistic urge.}}
}}
----
50:38
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Bürgermeister Gustave Schoen|Yes, you're right, Karl. I've been a fool, a superstitious fool.}}
}}
----
50:44
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Karl Brettschneider|Did they leave his body in the cave?}}

50:46
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Bürgermeister Gustave Schoen|Yes. Yes, they did.}}

----
50:49
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Karl Brettschneider|Well, in view of what's happened, don't you think you owe him a decent burial?}}
}}
----
50:52
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Bürgermeister Gustave Schoen|You're right. In view of what has happened, we do owe him that, Karl. I'll see to it at once, this very instant. And I'll make arrangements for Georgiana's removal to the morgue. Goodnight, Doctor. Pardon the intrusion.}}
}}

51:05
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Doctor von Niemann|Goodnight, Gustave.}}

----
51:06
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Bürgermeister Gustave Schoen|Pardon the intrusion.}}
}}
----
51:10
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Karl Brettschneider|Well, here I am, just where I started weeks ago. There isn't a single theory that doesn't lead straight into a stone wall. I've jested about this vampire business because my better judgment told me it was a lot of nonsense. Then I had reached the point where I was willing to accept even that, because it seemed to satisfy the equation.}}

52:00
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Doctor von Niemann|About six liters approximately.}}

52:03
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Karl Brettschneider|Can you think of any purpose for which that amount of blood might be used?}}

----
52:08
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Doctor von Niemann|No, not even in transfusions.}}
}}
----
52:10
{{ft/d|
{{ft|Karl Brettschneider|That's the point which stops me. There isn't any other use for human blood. Damn. Murderers leave clues. And these atrocities are murders, Doctor. Those simple fools in the village can believe what they like, but you and I are sane thinking people, and you know and I know, Doctor, that these are murders! The last one was done here, in this very house, right under this roof. All right, I'll start here. I'm going over every foot of this place, both inside and out. Nobody, sane or insane, is clever enough to get away with murder without leaving a clue of some sort. And I'm going to find that clue!}}

Life that moves, pulsates, and demands food for its continued growth! You shudder in horror. So did I the first time. But what will a few lives be weighed in the balance against the achievement of biological science? Think of it. I have lifted the veil. I have created life, arrested the secret of life from life. Now do you understand? For the lives of those who have gone before, I have created life!}}
