Inga quotes from Young Frankenstein (1974)

Teri Garr
A line from Inga

You know, there's something I've been meaning to ask you. In the transference, the monster got part of your wonderful brain. But what did you ever get from him? [Dr. Frankenstein moans suggestively and approaches her in bed; gasping] Oh my goodness, I don't believe... [emits several somewhat painful-sounding moans and grunts; singing] Oh, sweet mystery of life, at last I've found you! At last, I know the secret of it all! '

Inga
[Howling in the background]

Werewolf!

Dr. Frankenstein

Werewolf?

Igor

There.

Dr. Frankenstein

What?

Igor
[pointing]

There... wolf. There... castle.

Dr. Frankenstein

Why are you talking that way?

Igor

I thought you wanted to.

Dr. Frankenstein

No, I don't want to.

Igor

Suit yourself. I'm easy.

Dr. Frankenstein
[Frankenstein, Igor and Inga arrive in front of HUGE castle doors with IMMENSE metal door knockers; Igor bangs the door knockers loudly as Frankenstein helps Inga from the carriage]

What knockers!

Inga
[blushing, smiling shyly]

Oh! Thank you, doctor!

Dr. Frankenstein

For the experiment to be a success, all of the body parts must be enlarged.

Inga

His veins, his feet, his hands, his organs vould all have to be increased in size.

Dr. Frankenstein

Precisely.

Inga
[her eyes get wide]

He vould have an enormous schwanzschtücker.

Dr. Frankenstein
[ponders this a moment]

That goes without saying.

Inga

Voof.

Igor

He's going to be very popular.

Dr. Frankenstein

Well, dear, are you ready?

Inga

Yes, Doctor.

Dr. Frankenstein

Elevate me.

Inga

Now? Right here?

Dr. Frankenstein

Yes, yes, raise the platform.

Inga

Oh. Ze platform. Oh, zat, yah, yah... yes.

Dr. Frankenstein
[after failing to bring the creature to life]

Nothing.

Inga

Oh, Doctor, I'm sorry.

Dr. Frankenstein

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!?!

Inga

Stop it! Stop that! Stop it! You'll kill him!

Dr. Frankenstein

I DON'T WANNA LIVE. I DO NOT WANT TO LIVE.

Igor
[speaks to the audience]

Quiet dignity and grace

Dr. Frankenstein

Oh... MAMA...

Igor

What is this?

Dr. Frankenstein

Schwartzwald Kirchetort.

The Monster
[off-screen]

MMMMMMM!

Dr. Frankenstein

Oh, do you like it? I'm not partial to desserts myself, but this is excellent.

Igor

Who are you talking to?

Dr. Frankenstein

To you. You just made a yummy sound, so I thought you liked the dessert.

Igor

I didn't make a yummy sound, I just asked you what it is.

Dr. Frankenstein

But you did. I just heard it.

Igor

It wasn't me.

Inga

It wasn't me.

Dr. Frankenstein

Well, now look here. If it wasn't you, and it wasn't you...

The Monster
[off-camera]

Mmmmmm!

Dr. Frankenstein

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.

Inga

Yes, Doctor.

Igor

Nice working with ya.

Dr. Frankenstein
[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!!!

Dr. Frankenstein
[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.

Dr. Frankenstein
[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.

Inga
[from outside]

Dr. Fronkensteen! Are you all right!

Dr. Frankenstein

MY NAME IS FRANKENSTEIN!

Dr. Frankenstein
[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.

Inga

In other words...his veins, his feet, his hands, his organs vould all have to be increased in size.

Dr. Frankenstein

Precisely.

Inga
[her eyes get wide]

He vould have an enormous schwanzschtücker.

Dr. Frankenstein
[ponders this a moment]

That goes without saying.

Inga

Woof.

Igor
[to the audience]

He's going to be very popular.
