“Whee! Relax, dad. Johnny worked so hard to make this extra special. He has everything under control.” — Mavis
“Uh, dad? Dad, Johnny did all of this for you. He was trying to make this day special. What was that? Dad, I know you and Johnny don’t always see eye to eye, but I love him and I wouldn’t change a thing. No! He’s perfect just the way he is. All right, what are you up to?” — Mavis
“Retire? What?! Ew, ew. Ew-ew-ew-ew-ew-ew. Holy rabies. Holy rabies! You’re never gonna believe it! Johnny, you better sit down for this. Dad is gonna retire and leave us the hotel! He’s okay. He’s okay. Just a-a little too much sugar. Shh. Neither did I. You mean we’re going to be amazing. Dad’s leaving the hotel to both of us. Of course. Why wouldn’t he? What are you talking about? Of course you’re part of the family. That’s not true. Shh. We cant spoil the surprise.” — Mavis
“You have no idea. There you are. You almost missed it. Here it comes. What?! But… but I thought I heard… Ericka!” — Mavis
“A new restroom? Really, dad? That was the big surprise? There wasn’t anything else you were gonna announce? Like– I don’t know– your retirement? Dad, wait!” — Mavis

“♪ I see the crystal rain drops fall ♪ And the beauty of it all ♪ Is when the moon comes shining through ♪ To make those cobwebs in my mind ♪ When I think of you sometime ♪ And I want to spend it with you ♪ Just the two of us ♪ We can make it if we try ♪ Just the two of us ♪. Shh. ♪ The two of us ♪ Just the two of us ♪ Here in the hotel safe and sound ♪ Just the two of us ♪ You and I ♪ We are together, you and I ♪ Oh, how quickly the time flies ♪ I wish nothing could change ♪ Just the two of us ♪ We can make it if we try ♪ Just the two of us ♪ Huh?”
“Yes. So great. Thank you, Johhny. What a wonderful surprise that was. But now it’s time to start the actual planned part of the celebration. Huh? Oh, no. Dogs? ‘Very phine a…’ ooh! Oh, no! Oh! Huh? Oh, that’s not good. Okay, that’s enough.”
“Oh, right. Can’t freeze other vampires. Oh, hey, Mavey Wavey! Just making a couple of tiny adjustments. Oh, you mean by ruining my carefully planned party. Wow, thank you, dear son-in-law. Oh, hey, nothing, honeybat. Really? You sure you wouldn’t make just a few teensy changes? Better, no? Okay, okay. Whatever you say, honeybat. Now, let’s continue this special day, ’cause it’s gonna get even more specialier. What, me? Nothing.”
“Thank you, Johnny. How wonderful. And don’t forget, precisely at midnight, I will make a special once-in-a-lifetime announcement! In the meantime, sit back and enjoy the band. Yes, I think so. But Johnny is giving me the greatest headache of my entire existence right now, like a giant wooden stake right through my brain! Yes, exactly. And ruins everything. That’s the problem. Shh! Not so loud. Mavis has supersonic hearing. Yes, I-I’m sure you’re right. I just… I don’t want anything else to go wrong. Everything has to be perfect when I finally give the hotel to Mavis. Yes, and Johnny. Ah, yes, but it is time to let go and start a new chapter, together. Well, it’s not for nothing that they call me Count Wonderful. And also Dark Prince of Loveliness. Lord of Smoochy Time.”
“All right, let’s see here. Uh, dearest family, friends… and, uh, honored guests, I have started a new phase in my life, and I feel it is time to begin a new chapter for Hotel Translyvania. So, I am extremely proud and honored to give the key to the hotel to… what? Honor? Yeah? Yah! I can’t do it! I thought I could give the hotel to Mavis and Johnny, but he’s going to ruin everything! I have to get out of this. I have to. I… I… ah! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Sir Johnny. I think that there has been a misunderstanding. I actually… can’t give you the hotel. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. It is an old, very, very old, very ancient, very serious real estate law! Yes, yes. It says, ‘no residence, whether it be residential or commercial, shall ever be transferred to, owned by or inherited to a human.’ ‘For if it did, to wit, then that property shall be forfeited and repossessed unto it.’ I am truly sorry. I would absolutely love to give you the hotel, but, you know, you’re not a monster, so can’t. Huh?”
“Uh, uh… oh, think, think, think. Oh, you’ve got to announce something. Uh… uh dearest friends and… I… dearest family, friends and, uh, and honored guests, I… I have started a new phase, uh, in my life. And I feel that now is the time for Hotel Transylvania to, um… uh… uh… oh. Expand! Yes! We are expanding the hotel! Yes, yes. In order to address the increasingly long lines, I am pleased to announce we will be adding a new restroom to the lobby.”
“So, let’s get on with the party! Take it away, Blobby! Okay. That worked. Now you just have to get your thoughts together before you run into… oh. Wh-what? What was that, sweetheart? The music– it is so booming. Oh, yeah, feel it, baby. Whew, that was close. Mavis! Like what? What?! Uh… oh! Listen to those, uh, dope-tastic beats. Uh, shake a leg, honeybat.”
Johnny (Andy Samberg)
” ♪ Just the three of us ♪ We can make it if we try ♪ Just the three of us ♪ You, you and I ♪ Just the three of us ♪ Living in Hotel Transylvania ♪ Just the three of us ♪ You, you and I ♪ That’s right, just the three of us ♪ We can make it if we try ♪ Just the three of us ♪ You, you and I. ♪ Here’s to Hotel Transylvania! Celebrating 125 years!”
“That was only the beginning, Drac. You just sit back and enjoy your anniversary party. It’s a Johnny takeover celebration! Send in the dogs! Let’s do it, Frank!”
“Ice sculpture, go! Pyrotechnics! Oh, yeah! Whoa. I guess I killed it. All right, next up, we got… whoa, cute ear, hon. Babe, you’re freaking me out here. Whoa. I didn’t even know he was thinking of retiring. Oh, my gosh, Mavis, I’m so happy for you. You’re gonna be amazing! Really? Both of us? Are you sure? Oh, uh, I don’t know. I-I just never got the feeling that he really thought of me as, you know, part of the family. No, I know, but you know how Cranky Fangs is sometimes. I mean, it feels like I am, but not really. Well, not anymore it isn’t! Right. Right, right, right, right, right, right. I better walk this off. Hey, how’s it going? Nothing to see. Nothing much to talk about, except for the greatest thing happening in the entire universe. Oh, oh, there he is. Hey, Drac! Hey, Drac! Oh, no. No. Just keep it cool, Johnny. There will be plenty of time to thank him after.”
“Drac! I can’t believe it. I can’t believe it. I’m gonna explode into a thousand little excited bits. And then those little excited bits are gonna explode into millions of tiny little excited bits! Oh, mighty king, it is with all my heart that I accept this great honor. With this mighty key, I will unlock the future and usher in a new destiny for the great Hotel Transylvania! Oh! So many great ideas. I’m dizzy with hospitality creativity. Like horizontal escalators all through the lobby, name tags for all guests for more casual relations, green-energy-saving options… it’s gonna be the ultimate Johnny takeover! What? Real estate law? Whoa. Those are some serious ‘its.’ But then what’s the big announcement?”
“Uh-huh. Oh, man, this is all my fault. Oh, man, this is all my fault. I ruined everything, all because I’m not a monster. Van Helsing? Whoa. Sorry. Whoa.”
Ericka
“Yoo-hoo! You ready for your big speech, honeyfangs? Oh, you know Johnny. He just gets a little carried away. Well, you’re gonna have to get used to things being done a little differently around here when you retire. Why would she be listening? Don’t be so paranoid. And Johnny. Oh, it is a big step. I know how much this hotel means to you. Well, you are just all sorts of wonderful, aren’t you? Oh. Do they? Mm-hmm. Oh, stop it, Drac.”
“Excited for the big announcement? What?! Uh, what happened up there? Drac!”
Wolfman (Steve Buscemi)
“Well done!”
“This is hard to watch.”
Mummy (Keegan Michael-Key)
“Way to go, Drac!”
“What is wrong with him? Can’t never have enough bathrooms.”
Frankenstein
“Isn’t this great? Johnny taught me! Fire! Wh… Huh? Oh. Boy, is he nervous.”
Frankenstein’s Bride
“And we we only had to replace his hands twice during rehearsals.”
“Griffin! I know, but you have to be respectful. Get on with it already!”
Invisible Man
“Get on with it!”
“What? He’s dying up there.”
Van Helsing
“So, you want to become a monster, huh? I can help with that. I’ve got just the thing down in my lab. The question is: where did I put it? Ooh. It’s all organized very unique– don’t touch anything! Not there. Ah, that’s not it. It must be in the back somewhere. Come on, hurry up!”
125th Anni Crowd
“Hear! Hear!”
Grandkid
“Happy hotel anniversary, Papa Drac!”
Wolfkid
“Good boy.”
Party Monster
“Oh, yeah. Check it out.”
