{{quote|'''Count Bleck:''' What, think I'm not being evil enough? Maybe I want to take them alive and then torture them... Maybe sting them with scorpions? Shock them with electricity? Force them to watch game shows? ''(laughs)'' But seriously... I know all this is rather odd, but... I've always been a rather odd guy...}}
