You've poisoned me for the last time, you wretched girl!

Dr. Finkelstein

That's twice this month you've slipped deadly nightshade into my tea and run off.

[correcting]

Three times.

Dr. Finkelstein

Sally! You came back.

I had to.

Dr. Finkelstein

For this. [holds Sally's detached arm; she causes it to wave at herself]

[smiles]

Yes.

Dr. Finkelstein

Shall we then? [later, he's reattaching Sally's right arm] That's twice this month you've slipped Deadly Nightshade into my tea and run off.

Three times.

Dr. Finkelstein

You're mine, you know! I made you with my own hands.

You can make other creations. I'm restless. I can't help it.

Dr. Finkelstein

It's a phase, my dear, it'll pass. We need to be patient, that's all.

But I don't want to be patient!!!

Dr. Finkelstein
[enters Sally's room]

You can come out now, if you promised to behave. Sally? Sally? [sees the window open] Ooh, GONE AGAIN! [throws down the lantern] What we gonna do now?
