Baron Von Frankenstein edit
- To know death, Otto, you have to fuck life... in the gallbladder!
- Two girls? One man? He must be very powerful.
- No one has come as close as I, understanding the secret of life, intelligently created. My mistakes have been few, but I learned from every one.
- The medical profession would love to claim my achievement as part of their own and call it a giant stride forward of medicine. But they can't. It is a giant stride forward for me!
- Make him unconscious, but don't kill him, or damage his head in any way. I need his brain for my zombie! I am sure it has the right instincts we want!
- We have to find the right head for this torso. Has to be of a man who strongly favours women, whose overriding urges are sensual. If we succeed in finding such a single-minded man our chances are very good... that ze male we create... will fall in love with my female zombie. They will mate, and she will bear me the children I want. They're going to be a... true start... of a new race, entirely created by me.
- Note: "Favours" pronounced like "Quavers"
- You disappoint me. You have put an end to my experiments. But my work will live on. I am not going to die... in vain. My work has not... been finished. But I know I was... working in the right direction. I had... no one. Just a lab'ratory. And a dream. Ze female is dead. But he lives. He will.. show the world... my genius. When they... roll out the tape... there can be... riches... perfection. I wanted... to... prove... I... don't... regret... anything. I... tried... my... best. [dies noisily]
- Note: "Vain" pronounced like "Wane"; "Dream" like "Dweam"; "Riches" like "Witches"; "Regret" like "Regwet"
Dialogue edit
- Baron Frankenstein: Something went wrong.
- Otto: But what?
- Baron Frankenstein: Maybe the mixture of the blood wasn't right. You were the only one who knew about it... But maybe someone got into the laboratory?
- Otto: But who, Baron?
- Baron Frankenstein: The children? But they wouldn't do it. My sister. My sister! She always was very jealous of me. Always! But, we failed. That beautiful Serbian female. Everybody would have jumped-everyone! But maybe that head of that... creature wasn't any good? His perfect nose, his perfect nose, he has the perfect brain, he was the king I wanted, and we failed! We have to try it again! Otto, we have to try it again! I am going to prove that we can do it! We waited for so long!
- Otto: [Otto forces his hand into the female monster's stomach, killing her] And now I get into you, I have to get in. [Otto realizes what he did] Sh... she... she's ruined.
- Baron Frankenstein: [enters the room] It's not true, no. It can't be true, what are you doing to me? You destroyed my female, you put your dirty hands on her.
- Otto: But you went into her, Baron...
- Baron Frankenstein: [strangles Otto] Bastard! I studied how to do it, I know how to do it. You don't... With your clumsy hands. Everything... I cannot put it back. All the effort and time I put into it to create her!
- [Otto Drops dead]
- Baron Frankenstein: All her... inside it's out, what do I have to do? To find a new female, when I took her as a student. You know nothing of medicine, I taught you everything! But that happens when you take people who know nothing about medicine. They are too stupid. [yells at Nicholas, who's handcuffed] It's all your fault, you had pleasure with my wife, didn't you? I watched you, you enjoyed yourself. Poor peasant boy.
- Baroness Katrin Frankenstein: [seducing the monster] Will you do everything I ask?
- Sacha: What do you want?
- Baroness Katrin Frankenstein: Everything I ask is what I want. Come to bed. Take your shoes off and get that thing off.
