Young Frankenstein

"[dreaming] I am not a Frankenstein. I'm a Fronkensteen. Don't give me that. I don't believe in fate. And I won't say it. [pauses] All right, you win. You win. I give. I'll say it. I'll say it. I'll say it. DESTINY! DESTINY! NO ESCAPING THAT FOR ME! DESTINY! DESTINY! NO ESCAPING THAT FOR ME!"

"[Inga pulls the candle, but the revolving bookcase spins around, trapping Dr. Frankenstein in the process] Put...the candle...back!"

"[While preparing for the creation of the creature] From that fateful day when stinking bits of slime first crawled from the sea and shouted to the cold stars, "I am man!", our greatest dread has always been the knowledge of our mortality. But tonight, we shall hurl the gauntlet of science into the frightful face of death itself. [both Igor and Inga turn the wheel, which the chains has lifted up the creature on the operating table along with him] Tonight, we shall ascend into the heavens! We shall mock the earthquake! We shall command the thunders, and penetrate into the very womb of impervious nature herself!"

"LIFE!!! LIFE! DO YOU HEAR ME?!?!! GIVE MY CREATION... LIFE!!!!!"

"Hallo. Vould you like to have a roll in ze hay? [Dr. Frankenstein stutters] It's fun. [begins to roll in the hay] Roll, roll, roll in ze hay."

"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! '"

"[After Igor and Inga switched Dr. Frankenstein and the Monster's brains from their bodies by using experiments, using proper English to convince Inspector Kemp and the angry mob about the situation] 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 was my deepest hope, I would instead cause fear! [looks down at the unconscious Dr. Frankenstein] 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."

"Inspector Kemp: A riot is an ungly thingk...undt, I tink, that it is chust about time ve had vun."

"Elizabeth: [After they had sex, the Monster hears the violin, and follows it] Oh. Where you going?...Oh, you men are all alike. Seven or eight quick ones and then you're out with the boys to boast and brag. You better keep your mouth shut! [to herself] Oh...I think I love him."
