Frankenweenie 2012 quotes

Victor! I need your help.

Victor

Did you see those things? They were like...

Sea Monkeys! You know how on the package, they're like, in a happy kingdom, and everyone's smiling?

Victor

Yeah?

They're not like that at all.

Victor! I need your help.

I asked him first!

My problem bigger! [pointing behind him and sounds of thundering footsteps and roaring. Camera pans to show a giant dinosaur-tortoise mutant stomping down the street]

Yeah, he's right.

As mayor of New Holland, you have entrusted me with your safety. So I can't sit idly, while a teacher *endangers* our children.
Bob's Mom: [referring to Mr. Rzykruski] The man is a menace!

She's right. He's crazy!

Have you looked through this science book they're using? Apparently, Pluto isn't good enough to be a planet any more. When I was a kid, Pluto was a great planet. This guy comes along, and rewrites the rules!

In fairness, he didn't write the textbook.

Victor

I was doing my experiment, my project, and the first time it worked great. But the next time it didn't. I mean, it sort of worked, but then it didn't. And I don't know why.

Mr. Rzykruski

Then maybe you never really understood it the first time. People think science is here [pointing to head] but it is also here. [pointing to chest] The first time, did you love your experiment?

Victor

Yes.

Mr. Rzykruski

Ah. And the second time?

Victor

No. I just wanted it over.

Mr. Rzykruski

Then you changed the variables.

Victor

Where's Mr. Rzykruski?

All I know is I'll be teaching the class for the rest of the semester.

Do you know anything about science?

I know more than you do.

Mr. Rzykruski knew a lot.

Well, sometimes knowing too much is the problem.

Victor

What about the science fair?

Oh, it's still on, but it will be judged by someone who's not insane: Me!

Victor

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Victor

It's okay, boy. You don't have to come back. You'll always be in my heart.

Mr. Rzykruski

Back home, everyone is scientist. Even my plumber wins Nobel Prize. Your country does not make enough scientist. Always needs more. You should be a scientist, Victor.

Mr. Rzykruski

Science is not good or bad, Victor. But it can be used both ways. That is why you must always be careful.

Mr. Rzykruski

To you, science is magic and witchcraft, because you have such small minds! I cannot make your heads bigger, but your children's heads? I can take them and crack them open! This is what I try to do, to get at their brains!

What you did was a very serious thing! Crossing the boundary between life and death, reanimating a corpse! It's very upsetting!
