Scenes with Igor

"Fronkensteen."
Igor You're putting me on.
No, it's pronounced "Fronkensteen."
Igor Do you also say "Froaderick"?
No..."Frederick."
Igor Well, why isn't it "Froaderick Fronkensteen"?
It isn't; it's "Frederick Fronkensteen."
Igor I see.
You must be Igor.
Igor No, it's pronounced "eye-gor."
But they told me it was "ee-gor."
Igor Well, they were wrong then, weren't they?
You know, I'm a rather brilliant surgeon. Perhaps I can help you with that hump.
Igor What hump?
Werewolf?
Igor There.
What?
Igor [pointing]
There... wolf. There... castle.
Why are you talking that way?
Igor I thought you wanted to.
No, I don't want to.
Igor Suit yourself. I'm easy.
Igor You know, I'll never forget my old dad. When these things would happen to him... the things he'd say to me.
What did he say?
Igor "What the hell are you doing in the bathroom day and night? Why don't you get out of there and give someone else a chance?"
Igor Could be worse.
How?
Igor Could be raining. [it starts to pour]
For the experiment to be a success, all of the body parts must be enlarged.

Voof.
Igor He's going to be very popular.
Igor: [Frederick is perusing a shelf of brains preserved in formaldehyde when Igor, who is standing behind the case with his chin resting on the shelf, begins to sing Just a Gigolo] [sings]
I ain't got no body, and nobody cares for me. Yakka tak ta a yakka tak ta ha!
Igor Froedrick!
Are you ready?
Igor 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!
Igor 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?
Igor [suddenly appearing next to Dr. Frankenstein]
I understand. I understand. Why are you shouting?
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.

Igor Who are you talking to?
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.
But you did. I just heard it.
Igor It wasn't me.
It wasn't me.
Well, now look here. If it wasn't you, and it wasn't you...
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.
Igor Nice working with ya.

Igor And you won't be angry?
I will not be angry.
Igor [shrugs]
Abby...someone.
Abby someone? Abby who?
Igor Abby Normal.

[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?!?!
