View Quote Henry Clerval: Victor? Victor! Victor, open the door! Victor, please!
Victor Frankenstein: What do you want?
Henry Clerval: There's cholera. It's an epidemic! The city's been placed under martial law. Are you listening to me, Victor?
Victor Frankenstein: Yes. And?

Victor Frankenstein: Goodbye, Henry.
Elizabeth: Victor, it's me. Elizabeth. Can you hear me? Victor, I have to see you.

Elizabeth: Please, Victor! I won't leave here until you see me.

Victor Frankenstein: Don't go in there!
He shuts the doors

Elizabeth: Even if it means you'll die?
Victor Frankenstein: Yes.
Elizabeth: Well, let me help you.

Victor Frankenstein: Elizabeth... I love you so much, but...
Elizabeth: Goodbye.
She runs out

View Quote Victor Frankenstein: No I'm serious. You take vaccine for instance. 30 years ago the entire concept of vaccine was unheard of, and now we save lives every day. But that isn't the whole answer.
Henry Clerval: What do you mean?
Victor Frankenstein: That sooner or later the best way to cheat death, will be to create life.
Henry Clerval: Now you've gone too far. There's only one God, Victor.
Victor Frankenstein: No. Leave God out of this. Listen. You love someone they have a sick heart. Wouldn't you give them a healthy one.
Henry Clerval: Impossible!
Victor Frankenstein: No, it's not impossible. We can do it. We're steps away. If we can do that if we can replace one part of a human being. We can replace every part. And if we can do that we can design a life. We can create a being that will not grow old or sicken. One that will be stronger than us, better than us, one that will be more intelligent than us, more civilized than us.
Henry Clerval: In our lifetime?
Professor Waldman: No!
Victor Frankenstein: How close did you get, Professor?
Professor Waldman: Too close.
Victor Frankenstein: Professor, I beg you, let me see these notes!
Professor Waldman: No! My work now and it's application, lies exclusively in the preservation of life. I abandoned my researches many years ago.
Victor Frankenstein: Why?
Professor Waldman: Because they resulted in abomination.

View Quote Victor Frankenstein: Come on, Henry.
Henry Clerval: I can't help you, Victor. I can't help you.
Victor Frankenstein: You won't. What are you frightened of?
Henry Clerval: Everything! What do you think? And what if the authorities--?
Victor Frankenstein: Will do this in secret. I've got the raw materials, I've got Waldman's journals. Together we know more than Krempe's whole staff
Henry Clerval: You stole Waldman's journals?
Victor Frankenstein: We owe it to him to complete this work. He was one step away.
Henry Clerval: He never wanted this.
Victor Frankenstein: He couldn't face it, there's a difference.
Henry Clerval: Even if it were possible, and even if you had the right--which you don't--to make this decision for us... can you imagine for one second that there wouldn't be a terrible price to pay?
Victor Frankenstein: I think for the chance to defeat death and disease to let everyone on this Earth have the chance of life, sustained, healthy life, to allow people who love each other to be together forever... For all of that, I think it's a risk worth taking.
