Page 1 of 4Hallo. Vould you like a roll in ze hay? It's fun. [she begins rolling in the hay] Roll, roll, roll in ze hay.
For as long as I can remember people have hated me. They looked at my face and my body and they ran away in horror. In my loneliness I decided that if I could not inspire love, which is my deepest hope, I would instead cause fear. I live because this poor half-crazed genius, has given me life. He alone held an image of me as something beautiful and then, when it would have been easy enough to stay out of danger, he used his own body as a guinea pig to give me a calmer brain and a somewhat more sophisticated way of expressing myself.
Oh, Doctor, I'm sorry.
No. No. Be of good cheer. If science teaches us anything, it teaches us to accept our failures, as well as our successes, with quiet dignity and grace. [appears to walk away but suddenly turns around and starts beating up the creature] SONUVABITCH! BASTARD!!! I'll GET YOU FOR THIS!! WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!! WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME!?!
Stop it! Stop that! Stop it! You'll kill him!
I DON'T WANNA LIVE. I DO NOT WANT TO LIVE.
Oh... MAMA...
Could be worse.
How?
Could be raining. [it starts to pour]
[reading his grandfather's work]
"The minuteness of the parts formed a great hindrance to my speed. I resolved therefore to make the Creature of gigantic stature." Of course, that would simplify everything.
In other words...his veins, his feet, his hands, his organs vould all have to be increased in size.
Precisely.
Woof.
[singing]
If you're blue, and you don't know where to go to, why don't you go where fashion sits...
'UTTIN' ON THE 'IIIIITZ.
[to The Monster]
Hello handsome. You're a good looking fellow, do you know that? People laugh at you, people hate you, but why do they hate you? Because... they are jealous. Look at that boyish face. Look at that sweet smile. Do you wanna talk about physical strength? Do you want to talk about sheer muscle? Do you want to talk about the Olympian ideal? You are a God. And listen to me, you are not evil. You... are... good.
[the Monster starts to cry, and Dr. Frankenstein hugs him]
This is a nice boy. This is a good boy. This is a mother's angel. And I want the world to know once and for all, and without any shame, that we love him. I'm going to teach you. I'm going to show you how to walk, how to speak, how to move, how to think. Together, you and I are going to make the greatest single contribution to science since the creation of fire.
MY NAME IS FRANKENSTEIN!
Are you ready?
Are you sure this is how they did it?
Yes! It's all written down in the notes! Now tie off the kites and hurry down as fast as you can!
What's the hurry?
There's a possibility of electrocution! Do you understand?
[no answer] [shouts]
I said, there is a possibility of electrocution! Do you understand?
[suddenly appearing next to Dr. Frankenstein]
I understand. I understand. Why are you shouting?
For the experiment to be a success, all of the body parts must be enlarged.
His veins, his feet, his hands, his organs vould all have to be increased in size.
Precisely.
Voof.
He's going to be very popular.
HE'S GOT A ROTTEN BRAIN! IT'S ROTTEN, I TELL YA! ROTTEN!
RAAAAAAAA!
Ixnay on the ottenray.
Igor, may I speak to you for a moment?
Of course.
Sit down, won't you?
Thank you. [sits on the floor]
No no, up here.
Thank you. [sits on a chair]
Now...that brain that you gave me...was it Hans Delbruck's?
[holds up hand]
Ah. Good. Uh...would you mind telling me...whose brain...I did put in?
And you won't be angry?
I will not be angry.
Abby someone? Abby who?
Abby Normal.
I'm almost sure that was the name. [he and Dr. Frankenstein laugh]
[slowly]
Are you saying... [stands] that I put an abnormal brain... [puts hand on Igor's hump; increasingly angry] into a 7 and a half foot long...54- inch wide... [grabs Igor by throat] GORILLA?!?!?! [strangling Igor] IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME?!?!
Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags?
Igor, would you mind telling me whose brain I did put in?
And you won't be angry?
I will NOT be angry.
Abby... someone.
Abby someone. Abby who?
Abby... Normal.
Abby Normal?
I'm almost sure that was the name.
Are you saying that I put an abnormal brain into a seven and a half foot long, fifty-four inch wide GORILLA?!! IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME!!?!?
Love is the only thing that can save this poor creature, and I am going to convince him that he is loved even at the cost of my own life. No matter what you hear in there, no matter how cruelly I beg you, no matter how terribly I may scream, do not open this door or you will undo everything I have worked for. Do you understand? Do not open this door.
Yes, Doctor.
Nice working with ya.
[Dr. Frankenstein goes into the room with The Monster. The Monster wakes up]
Let me out!! LET ME OUT OF HERE!! GET ME THE HELL OUTA HERE!! What's the MATTER with you people?! I was JOKING! Don't you know a joke when you hear one? HA-HA-HA-HA. Jesus Christ, get me out of here!! OPEN THIS GODDAMN DOOR OR I'LL KICK YOUR ROTTEN HEADS IN!!! MOMMY!!!
