"You think I'm an idiot, don't you? But I'm not! Anyone can see with half an eye that there's something wrong. And I have two eyes, and pretty good ones at that. Well, what is it?...What's the matter with my son? What's he doing?...Why does he go messing around an old ruined windmill when he has a decent house, a bath, good food and drink, and a darn pretty girl to come back to? Ha, will you tell me that?"

"There can be no wedding while this horrible creation of mine is still alive. I made him with these hands, and with these hands I will destroy him. I must find him. [to Victor] You stay here and look after Elizabeth. I leave her in your care, whatever happens. Do you understand? In your care."

"Quite a good scene, isn't it? One man crazy — three very sane spectators."

"There's nothing to fear. Look. No blood, no decay. Just a few stitches. And look, here's the final touch. The brain you stole, Fritz. Think of it. The brain of a dead man waiting to live again in a body I made with my own hands, with my own hands. Let's have one final test. Throw the switches."

"[in a letter] You must have faith in me, Elizabeth. Wait, my work must come first, even before you. At night the winds howl in the mountains. There is no one here. Prying eyes can't peer into my secret...I am living in an abandoned old watchtower close to the town of Goldstadt. Only my assistant is here to help me with my experiments."

"This storm will be magnificent. All the electrical secrets of Heaven. And this time we're ready, eh Fritz? Ready."

"A Mate... For The Monster!"

"WHO will be The Bride of Frankenstein? WHO will dare?"

"Warning! The Monster demands a Mate!"

"Hunter: Get out the bloodhounds. Raise all the men you can, lock the women indoors, and wait for me."

"Yes, go! You live! Go! [to Dr. Pretorius] You stay! We belong dead!"

"[after the Bride recoils and shrieks] She hate me. Like others."

"[to his bride] Friend? Friend?"

"Alone: bad. Friend: good!"

"Fire: no good."

"Before you came, I was all alone. It is bad to be alone."

"I have prayed many times for God to send me a friend. It's very lonely here. And it's been a long time since any human being came into this hut. I shall look after you and you will comfort me. Now you must lie down and go to sleep. Yes, yes. Now you must sleep. Our Father I thank thee that in thy great mercy, thou hast taken pity on my great loneliness and now out of the silence of the night has brought two of thy lonely children together, and sent me a friend to be a light to mine eyes and a comfort in time of trouble. Amen."

"Perhaps you're afflicted too. I cannot see and you cannot speak. Is that it?"

"Come in, my poor friend. No one will hurt you here. If you're in trouble, perhaps I can help you. But you need not tell me about it if you don't want to. What's the matter? You're hurt, my poor friend. Come. Sit down."

"Who is it? You're welcome, my friend, whoever you are."

"I'd hate to find him under my bed at night. He's a nightmare in the daylight."

"Mind me he don't get loose again. He might do some damage and hurt somebody."

"I'm glad to see the Monster roasted to death before my very eyes."

"[in a mausoleum] I should wait here for a bit. I rather like this place."

"There is a pleasing variety about my exhibits. My first experiment was so lovely that we made her a Queen. Charming, don't you think? Then of course, we had to have a King. Now, he's so madly in love with her that we have to segregate them.... now, now. I have to be careful with the king. now behave. My next production looked so disapprovingly at the other two that they made him an Archbishop... he seems to be asleep. I must wake him up. the next one is the very Devil - very bizarre, this little chap. There's a certain resemblance to me, don't you think? Or do I flatter myself? I took a great deal of pains with him. Sometimes I have wondered whether life wouldn't be much more amusing if we were all devils, and no nonsense about angels and being good. Oh! there's the king out again. even royal amours are a nuisance. poor archbishop. he has his hands full. there. that will keep you quiet. My little Ballerina is charming but such a bore! She won't dance to anything but Mendelsohnn's Spring Song and it gets so monotonous. My next is very conventional, I'm afraid. But you can never tell how these things will turn out. It was an experiment with seaweed. Normal size has been my difficulty. You did achieve size. I need to work that out with you."

"My experiments did not turn out quite like yours Henry. But science, like love, has her little surprises - as you shall see."

"Do you like gin? It is my only weakness... [toasting with Henry] To a new world of gods and monsters! Ha, ha. The creation of life is enthralling, distinctly enthralling, is it not?"

"Booted, my dear Baron, is the word for knowing too much."

"Tell him that Dr. Pretorius is here on a secret matter of grave importance and must see him alone, tonight."

"To a new age of gods and monsters!"

"She's alive! Alive!"

"It's going to be a terrific storm!"
