My fellow scienti...
Ssssssssssssssss!
...tists... and neuro-surgeons, ladies and gentlemen. A few short weeks ago coming from a background, believe me, as conservably and traditionaly grounded in scientific fact as any of you, I began an experiment in... incredulous as it may sound... the reanimation of dead tissue.
That music...
Yes. It's in your blood - it's in the blood of ALL Frankensteins. It reaches the soul when words are useless. Your grandfather used to play it to the creature HE vas making.
Then it was you all the time.
Yes.
You played that music in the middle of the night...
Yes.
...to get us to the laboratory.
Yes.
That was YOUR cigar smoldering in the ashtray.
Yes.
And it was you... who left my grandfather's book out for me to find.
Yes.
So that I would...
Yes.
Then you and Victor were...
YES. YES. Say it. He vas my... BOYFRIEND.
Well, dear, are you ready?
Yes, Doctor.
Elevate me.
Now? Right here?
Yes, yes, raise the platform.
Oh. Ze platform. Oh, zat, yah, yah... yes.
You know, I'm a rather brilliant surgeon. Perhaps I can help you with that hump.
What hump?
Taffeta, darling.
Taffeta, sweetheart.
Would the doctor care for a brandy before retiring?
No. Thank you.
Some varm milk... perhaps?
No. Thank you very much. No thanks.
Ovaltine?
NOTHING! Thank you. I'm a little tired.
Then I vill say... goodnight.
Goodnight.
Dr. Frankenstein...
"Fronkensteen."
You're putting me on.
No, it's pronounced "Fronkensteen."
Do you also say "Froaderick"?
No..."Frederick."
Well, why isn't it "Froaderick Fronkensteen"?
It isn't; it's "Frederick Fronkensteen."
I see.
You must be Igor.
No, it's pronounced "eye-gor."
But they told me it was "ee-gor."
Well, they were wrong then, weren't they?
What is this?
Schwartzwald Kirchetort.
Oh, do you like it? I'm not partial to desserts myself, but this is excellent.
Who are you talking to?
To you. You just made a yummy sound, so I thought you liked the dessert.
I didn't make a yummy sound, I just asked you what it is.
But you did. I just heard it.
It wasn't me.
It wasn't me.
Well, now look here. If it wasn't you, and it wasn't you...
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?
"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?"
Vee had better confeerm de fect dat Yunk Frankenshtein iss indeed VALLOWING EEN EES GANDFADDA'S VOOTSHTAPS.
What?
Vallowing in his gandfadda's vootshtaps, [stomps his feet repeatedly] vootshtaps, vootshtaps.
Ohhh. Footsteps!
Medical Student Dr. Frankenstein?
My name is "Fronkenshteen."
Medical Student Dr. "Fronkenschteen" isn't it true that Darwin preserved a piece of vermicelli in a glass case until, by some extrordinary means, it actually began to move with voluntary motion?
Are you speaking of the worm or the spaghetti?
Medical Student Why, the worm, sir.
Yes, I did read something of that incident when I was a student, but you have to remember that a worm... with very few exceptions... is not a human being.
Medical Student But wasn't that the whole basis of your grandfather's work? The reanimation of dead tissue?
My grandfather was a very sick man.
Medical Student But as a "Fronkenshteen" aren't you the least bit curious? Doesn't the bringing to life what was once dead hold any interest for you?
You are talking about the non-sensical ravings of a lunatic mind; dead is dead!
But look at what has been done with hearts and kidneys...
Hearts and kidneys are TINKER-TOYS!! I'm talking about the central nervous system!!
But, sir...
I am a scientist, not a philosopher! [picks up a scalpel] You have a better chance of re-animating this SCALPEL then you would of mending broken nervous tissue!
But what about your grandfather's work?
MY GRANDFATHER'S WORK WAS DOO-DOO!!! I am not interested in death! The only thing that concerns me IS THE PRESERVATION OF LIFE!!!
Class...is...dismissed!

No, I don't want to.
Suit yourself. I'm easy.
