From flesh and innocence... Frankenstein has created the ultimate in evil and desire taglines
Baron Frankenstein
edit- For one hour my body had died. And yet, my soul remained. Now, why? Where was it? Was it - was it - trapped - within me? Could it be trapped forever? Could I - could I - trap it myself?
- One dies because the body dies, not because the soul. Death is a physical thing, not spiritual. The body deteriorates, what is broken in some way or just decays; but, the soul remains alive. Now, if I can transfer the soul to my apparatus, repair the damaged body, and then return the soul - I have conquered death. Is it not so?
- Bodies are easy to come by, souls are not.
Christina
edit- I have done what you have told me. What am I to do now?
Anton
edit- [to Christina] You know, I don't believe you are real. I think you're a meerage - [laughs] a mirage - an oasis in the middle of my desert life.
Chief of Police
edit- We do not know what it is that you do here, sir. We only know that we have heard strange noises and seen strange lights - in the middle of the night.
- Like father, like son!
Dialogue
edit- Doctor Hertz: He lives. See, Hans, he's alive.
- Baron Frankenstein: Of course I'm alive. Didn't I tell you I would be?
- Baron Frankenstein: Hertz, I am constantly surprised at your lack in faith in my work.
- Doctor Hertz: But, you were dead! Was he not, Hans?
- Baron Frankenstein: Technically, yes. But, my soul had not left my body. For one whole hour - I was dead.
- Doctor Hertz: Oh, it's magic!
- Baron Frankenstein: Everything we don't understand is magic - until we understand it.
- Doctor Hertz: To me, it's magic. All of this.
- Baron Frankenstein: Until we understand it and master it.
- Doctor Hertz: I want to celebrate your safe return. Hans, the brandy.
- Baron Frankenstein: Oh, no thank you, no. I know your brandy. But, a glass of champagne would be very welcome.
- Doctor Hertz: Oh, champagne? Do you think I'd drink that stuff if I could afford champagne?
- Baron Frankenstein: Our young friend will live again and sooner than we thought.
- Doctor Hertz: In her body?
- Baron Frankenstein: Why, not?
- Chief of Police: Do you expect us to believe this childish rubbish, sir? Do you take us for fools?
- Baron Frankenstein: Yes.
- Anton: I suppose you've - been with lots of men? Hmm?
- Christina: And you have been with lots of girls.
- Anton: Of course.
- Christina: Do you want to come with me?
- Anton: Where?
- Christina: Anywhere.
- Baron Frankenstein: Let me tell you who you really are.
- Christina: I know who I am.
- Baron Frankenstein: Please...
- Christina: And what I have to do. Forgive me.
