Igor : What is this?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein : Schwartzwalder Kirschtorte.
The Monster : [off-screen] MMMMMMM!
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein : Oh, do you like it? I'm not partial to desserts myself, but this is excellent.
Igor : Who are you talking to?
Dr. Frederick 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. Frederick Frankenstein : But you did. I just heard it.
Igor : It wasn't me.
Inga : It wasn't me.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein : Well, now look here. If it wasn't you, and it wasn't you...

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein : [Reading from his grandfathers' notebook] "As the minuteness of the parts formed a great hinderance to my speed, I resolved therefore to make a being of a gigantic stature."
[pause]
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein : Of course. That would simplify everything.
Inga : In other vords: his veins, his feet, his hands, his organs vould all have to be increased in size.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein : Exactly.
Inga : He vould have an enormous schwanzstucker.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein : That goes without saying.
Inga : Voof.
Igor : He's going to be very popular.

[last lines]
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. Frederick Frankenstein : [growls suggestively]
Inga : [gasping] Oh my goodness, I don't believe...
[emits several somewhat painful-sounding moans and grunts]
Inga : [singing] Oh, sweet mystery of life, at last I've found you!

Dr. Frederick 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. Frederick Frankenstein goes into the room with The Monster. The Monster wakes up]
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein : Let me out. Let me out of here. Get me the hell out of 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. Frederick 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.
[the Monster starts to cry, and Dr. Frederick Frankenstein hugs him]
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein : 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. Frederick Frankenstein : MY NAME IS FRANKENSTEIN!

[Frankenstein, Igor and Inga in front of HUGE castle doors]

Inga : Oh, thank you doctor.

[after failing to bring the creature to life]
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein : Nothing.
Inga : Oh, Doctor, I'm sorry.
Dr. Frederick 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.
[starts beating up the creature]
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein : Son of a bitch! 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. Frederick Frankenstein : I don't want to live. I do not want to live.
Igor : Quiet dignity and grace
[rolls eyes]
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein : Oh... mama...

Inga : You haven't even touched your food.
[Frederick explodes and slaps on his food]
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein : There. Now I've touched it. Happy?

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein : Have all the preperations been made for the transference?
Inga : Yes, doctor.
Igor : Are you sure you want to go through with this?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein : It's the only thing that can save him now.
Igor : You realize you're risking both your lives?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein : [plays a sour note] Yes.
-
Inga : Hold on to your hat! I'll be right back.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein : [literally holds onto his hat] I'm holding onto it, Darling!
Inga : Just a few more seconds.

Elizabeth : How do you do?
Elizabeth : [turns in Igor's direction to speak, changes her mind, then looks back to Inga] How do you do?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein : Uh, this is my financier, Elizabeth.
Inga : Oh, I'm so happy to meet you at last!
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein : My fi-nan-ce...
Elizabeth : Excuse me darling, what is exactly that you do do?
