Frankenstein Edit

A day? l wonder.

A man of science,

A moment ago, you said l was crazy.

A youngster of yours will be carrying on the tradition.

About the violet ray, the ultraviolet ray,

All of these degenerate characteristics

All right, knock, but you can't get in.

All right.

All right. Let's think about us.

All the electrical secrets of heaven !

All the excitement and preparation.

All this uncertainty can't go on. l must know.

ALL: A son to the house of Frankenstein.

ALL: lndeed, sir. We hope so, sir.

ALL: To the house of Frankenstein.

ALL: Young Frankenstein.

And endow it with life.

And good riddance to you.

And here, the abnormal brain of the typical criminal.

And how do you know?

And if you don't, well, you must leave me alone.

And in conclusion, ladies and gentlemen,

And l am kept waiting.

And l have two eyes, pretty good ones, at that.

And l hope in 30 years time,

And l hope there's plenty of beer.

And l'm going to find her.

And look, here's the final touch.

And now this letter.

And now, how about a little drink, eh? Come on.

And so he left the university to work unhampered.

And the distinct degeneration of the middle frontal lobe.

And then a human heart, which l kept beating for three weeks.

And this time we're ready, eh, Fritz? Ready.

And we were not to be too particular as to where and how we got them.

And what changes a darkness into light?

And you really believe that you can bring life to the dead?

And. . . l will see that it is painlessly destroyed.

Anyone can see with half an eye

Are you hurt?

Are you quite sure you want to come in?

Are you ready? ALL: Yes!

As compared to that of the normal brain,

As soon as you like.

At all events there's lots more where that came from.

At first, l experimented only with dead animals

BARON: Go on, mop it up, mop it up. lt'll do you good.

BARON: Listen. Listen to them.

BARON: Thank you.

Be a good girl now.

Before your father and Elizabeth get here.

Both in my private and official capacities as Burgomaster. . .

Both of these jars will remain here for your further inspection.

Bring him down to the village, and let's take him home.

Burn the mill !

Burn the mill. Burn it.

But he respects you.

But he says it's important.

But if you talk like that, people call you crazy.

But if you wish it, l will go.

But l'm not.

But now,

But she has been murdered.

But the fiend must be found !

But think of Elizabeth, your father.

But, Elizabeth, you can't do that!

But, Herr Baron, the village is already prepared !

But, sir, everything is ready!

Bye, Daddy.

Can we go to him?

Check amazingly with the case history of the dead man before us,

Chemical galvanism and electro biology

Climb up and cut the rope.

Come away! He has the strength of 1 0 men.

Come in !

Come in.

Come on ! Come on !

Come on ! Come on !

Come on up.

Come on, boy. Now, now, now, drink. Drink this.

Come on, boys. Keep together.

Come on, Doctor. Quick. Hurry.

Come on, kitty.

Come on, men ! Come on ! Come on !

Come on, men ! Hurry up. This way.

Come on.

Come quick. Hurry.

Come, come. Pull yourself together.

Cooperate!

Could you leave us for a moment?

Crazy, am l?

Daddy, won't you stay and play with me a little while?

Dangerous?

Dead, eh?

Do you expect perfection at once?

Don't let it come here.

Don't let it come here. lt's all right.

Don't let it come here. No, no, no, darling.

Don't touch that!

Don't worry about him, Baron.

Down ! Down, you fool !

Down here.

Dr. Waldman, l learned a great deal from you at the university

Dr. Waldman, you have influence with Henry.

Dr. Waldman? Dr. Waldman !

Dr. Waldman's been murdered in the tower.

Eh, oh.

Elizabeth and your father are coming up the hill to see you.

Elizabeth believes in me.

Elizabeth, please. Won't you go away?

Elizabeth.

Elizabeth.

Elizabeth.

ELlZABETH: Henry, at least give us shelter!

ELlZABETH: Henry!

ELlZABETH: Open the door! WALDMAN: Let us in !

Fetch the rope. Quick!

Fire. Fire!

First to destroy it, then recreate it.

Follow him. Quick!

Fool !

Forgive me, but l'm forced to take unusual precautions.

Frankenstein ! Frankenstein ! Where is it? Where is it?

Frankenstein, mountains. Ludwig. . .

Frankenstein?

Fritz!

From the gallows, anywhere!

From what, dear? From what?

Get away with that torch !

Get back.

Get back. Back!

Get back. Get back.

Get him alive if you can, but get him !

Get him on the sofa. Come on.

Get him to the cellar!

Get the batteries.

Give the servants some champagne.

GlRL: Oh, look! Look, Maria!

Go and see for yourself.

Go and sit down.

Go on. Fix the electrodes.

Go on. lt can't hurt you.

God !

God bless his soul. How much further?

Good day, Herr Baron.

Good day, Herr Baron. Fräulein.

Good day, Herr Moritz.

Good day, Herr Vogel.

Good day, Miss Elizabeth. (COUGHS)

Good food and drink and a darned pretty girl to come back to?

Good heavens, what's that?

Good night, Victor, and thank you. Thank you.

Good night. And don't worry. Promise?

Good.

Good. Now, then.

Goodbye.

Got it? Yes.

Got too much to do.

Half grain solution.

Hans, which way did he go? Tell me. Tell me!

Have you finished making those connections?

Have you got any brandy?

Have you got it? Yeah. Come on. Hurry.

Have you never wanted to do anything that was dangerous?

Have you never wanted to look beyond the clouds and the stars,

He can't be disturbed just now.

He found what he needed elsewhere.

He hated Fritz. Fritz always tormented him.

He just glared at me and said he would let no one go there.

He said he was on the verge of a discovery so terrific

He said he would get in touch with you soon.

He spoke to me of his work, too.

He was doing so well, and he seemed so happy with his work.

He wished us to supply him with other bodies,

He'll be home in a few days.

He's been seen in the hills terrorizing the mountainside.

He's completing his experiments, that's all.

He's in the house.

He's just resting, waiting for a new life to come.

He's only a few days old, remember.

Heaven forbid.

Heaven wasn't so far away all the time, you know.

Hello!

Hello.

Help! Help!

Henry is well, but he's very busy.

Henry must come home, if l have to fetch him myself.

Henry, don't leave me. Don't leave me.

Henry, in the name of God.

Henry, l'm afraid, terribly afraid.

Henry, you better hurry upstairs and get that blood off your face

Henry, you're inhuman !

HENRY: Come in.

HENRY: Help! lt's Frankenstein.

Henry!

Henry! Dr. Waldman ! Dr. Waldman ! What about Dr. Waldman?

Henry! Frankenstein !

Henry! Henry!

Henry.

Henry.

Henry.

Henry. Henry!

Here he comes!

Here he comes.

Here in this machinery, l have gone beyond that.

Here it is. lt's very strong.

Here l come.

Here we are.

Here we have a fiend whose brain. . .

Here we have one of the most perfect specimens of the human brain

Here, Hyde.

Here, l'll do that.

Here! Cover this.

Here's a health to a son of the house of Frankenstein.

Here's a jolly good health to young Frankenstein.

Here's one to make the best man look still better.

Here's the knife.

Here's the knife.

Here's to a son to the house of Frankenstein.

Herr Frankenstein !

Herr Frankenstein ! Herr Frankenstein !

Herr Frankenstein ! Where are you?

Herr Frankenstein is a most brilliant young man,

Herr Frankenstein is greatly changed.

Herr Frankenstein was interested only in human life.

Herr Frankenstein, you will take to the mountains.

Herr Victor Moritz.

His insane ambition to create life.

His manner was very strange.

His words carried me right away.

How beautiful you look.

How do you do?

How is Elizabeth now?

How? How?

Huh.

Hurry up.

Hurry, hurry.

Just a few stitches.

Just watch me. Do the trick.

Kill it, as you would any savage animal.

L am very pleased to see you all,

L asked him if l might visit his laboratory.

L beg your pardon. l am Dr. Waldman.

L believe in this monster, as you call it,

L believe in you, but l cannot leave you tonight.

L brought you these flowers.

L can make a boat.

L can't get it out of my mind.

L can't help it.

L couldn't think of anything else.

L created it.

L did it. Quick, quick, quick, quick.

L don't know how the deuce l'm going to get up them.

L don't know.

L don't know. lf l could just get it out of my mind.

L don't like it, but here goes.

L feel it.

L felt it all day.

L have discovered the great ray that first brought life into the world.

L know it. l know it!

L know that. Don't keep on saying so, you idiot.

L know, but l didn't realize it.

L leave her in your care, whatever happens.

L love you so.

L made him with these hands, and with these hands, l'll destroy him.

L made it with my own hands from the bodies l took from graves,

L met him walking alone in the woods.

L must find him. l'll go with you.

L must see you for a minute.

L must! l'll be ready in a minute.

L placed this on your mother's head, Henry.

L shouldn't like that. l'm far too fond of you.

L think he's up there. Come on, follow him. Follow him.

L think it will thrill you.

L told him that his demands were unreasonable,

L understand perfectly well.

L will lead the third group by the lake.

L wish you were.

L won't.

L would advise you to take Henry away from here at once.

L wouldn't care if they did think l was crazy!

L'll go to Dr. Waldman, Henry's old professor in medical school.

L'll show them, messing about at this time of night.

L'm afraid.

L'm astonishingly sane, Doctor.

L'm coming with you.

L'm going to take you home with me, Henry.

L'm going to turn that ray on that body

L'm Maria.

L'm so glad you've come.

L'm sorry, but Herr Frankenstein is no longer my pupil.

L'm sorry, Doctor, but l insist.

L'm sorry.

L'm too busy, darling. You stay and play with the kitty, huh?

L'm worried about Henry. Why has he left the university?

L've got to experiment further.

L've read this over and over again, but they're just words

Lake party, this way!

Leave it alone. Leave it alone.

Leave them alone.

Leave them to me.

Let's go and see what's up the awful stairs.

Let's have one final test. Throw the switches.

Let's make it soon.

Let's turn out the light.

Lf Hans comes by, tell him l'll be back soon? Hmm?

Lf it's trouble, go away. l have trouble enough.

Lf l could just do something to save us from it.

Lf this storm develops as l hope,

Lf you please, Herr Baron,

Lf you please, Herr Baron, the Burgomaster.

Life and death.

Listen !

Listen.

Listen. What's that? Who's there?

Ln 1 5 minutes, the storm should be at its height.

Ln a few minutes he'll be through that door.

Ln fact, they had reached a most advanced stage.

Ln the name of God !

Look out!

Look out.

Look!

Look. lt's moving.

Look. lt's still here.

Looks as good as new now, eh?

Lose me? Why, l'll always be with you.

Ls anything wrong?

Ls everything ready? Yes!

Ls it all right?

Ls that the front door?

Lt deals with the two great mysteries of creation,

Lt has never lived.

Lt is one of the strangest tales ever told.

Lt just came.

Lt may shock you.

Lt might even horrify you.

Lt understands this time. lt's wonderful.

Lt's a perfectly good brain, Doctor.

Lt's alive!

Lt's alive.

Lt's alive. lt's alive.

Lt's all right, darling. lt's all right.

Lt's Dr. Waldman, Fritz.

Lt's Elizabeth. Come on.

Lt's Elizabeth. Open the door!

Lt's extraordinary how friendly you can make a lot of people

Lt's Fritz!

Lt's in the cellars.

Lt's like heaven, being with you again.

Lt's maddening. Easy, old man. She'll be all right.

Lt's moving. lt's alive.

Lt's murder. lt's our only chance.

Ludwig, you will search the woods. Those are your group.

LUDWlG: Go over there! Go on.

MAN: Come on, men !

MAN: Kill him !

MAN: Quiet!

Maria, she's drowned.

Mark my words, he will prove dangerous!

Mr. Carl Laemmle feels it would be a little unkind

Mr. Henry doesn't need this.

My dear, what have they done to you?

My father never believes in anyone.

My grandfather bought this wine and laid it down.

My grandmother wouldn't let him drink it.

My poor man, why do you bring her here to me?

My work. . .

No banisters or anything else.

No blood, no decay.

No doubt.

No, come back. This way!

No, darling, you stay here.

No, forget my foolishness. lt was just a mood.

No, l can't. My work.

No, no, Baron. What do you mean, "No, no"?

No, no, it isn't that.

No, no, l'm all right. lt's nothing.

No, you're hurting me! No!

No!

No.

No. Yes, yes. Leave it all to me.

No. You stay here and look after Elizabeth.

Nobody must come here.

Nothing the Burgomaster can say can be of the slightest importance.

Nothing. l'm quite all right.

Now is your chance to. . .

Now l know what it feels like to be God !

Now, don't worry.

Now, then, now be off about your business.

Now, you search there. The rest, come with me.

Now.

Observe, ladies and gentlemen, the scarcity of convolutions on the frontal lobe,

Of all times for anybody to come, now!

Of course there isn't.

Of course, l've never doubted him, but still l worry.

Oh !

Oh, are you? l'm Baron Frankenstein.

Oh, Baron, you don't understand.

Oh, bless her heart. Here's to your very good health.

Oh, but such a lovely bride.

Oh, but you're wrong.

Oh, can't he? (SCOFFS) l'll soon settle that nonsense.

Oh, can't you see l mustn't be disturbed?

Oh, careful !

Oh, come and sit down, Doctor.

Oh, come away, Fritz.

Oh, he's always late. He'll be here soon.

Oh, his experiments.

Oh, how lovely you look. But you shouldn't be here.

Oh, if he should be ill. . .

Oh, it's alive! It's alive! It's alive!

Oh, l'd die if l had to lose you now, Henry.

Oh, l'm so glad you're safe.

Oh, there's no trouble, sir.

Oh, Victor, you're a dear.

Oh, well. After all, it's only a piece of dead tissue.

Oh, what can we do?

Oh, what does that matter? l must see him.

Oh, you're ill. What's the matter?

Oh, you've heard from Henry.

Oh.

Oh. And your proof?

Oh. Oh, my boy.

Oh. The bodies of animals.

On a couple of bottles of beer.

Once more.

One man crazy, three very sane spectators.

Only evil can come of it.

Or to know what causes the trees to bud,

Our wedding day. Steady.

Over there.

Patience, patience.

Perhaps he can tell me more about all this.

Perhaps you know what all this tommyrot's about.

Please tell us everything, whatever it is.

Please.

Please.

Poor Fritz. All my fault.

Poor old Waldman.

Poor, poor, Fritz. lt's all my fault.

Pretty sort of experiments these must be.

PRlEST: Amen.

Quick!

Quick.

Quick. Quick!

Quiet, quiet.

Quiet, you fool !

Quiet!

Quiet!

Quiet! Quiet!

Quiet.

Quiet. Quiet!

Quite a good scene, isn't it?

Ready? Yes.

Remember, remember,

Right.

Safe? Of course l'm safe. But you look worried.

Search every ravine, every crevice,

See how mine floats?

See who's at the door.

Send them away.

She's still in a daze. Just looks at me and says nothing.

Shoot it! lt's a monster!

Shut out the light!

Silence! l'll see that justice is done!

Silence! Silence!

Silence. What is it? What is it?

Sit down !

Sit down !

Sit down and rest. You look so tired.

Sit down, please.

Sit down.

Sit down.

So far he's been kept in complete darkness.

So, if any of you feel that you do not care to subject your nerves to such a strain,

Someone open the door!

Something is coming between us.

Something is going to happen.

Stop kicking !

Stop! Stop, men.

Stuff and nonsense! What about his wedding?

Such a fine young man, the very image of his father.

Sure.

Thank you all very much indeed.

Thank you, gentlemen. The class is dismissed.

Thank you, Herr Vogel.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Thank you. And here.

That body is not dead.

That has ever come to my attention at the university.

That he doubted his own sanity.

That l can't understand.

That there's something wrong.

That way!

That will do, gentlemen.

The bodies we use in our dissecting room for lecture purposes

The boys and girls are busy, my dear.

The brain is useless.

The brain that was stolen from my laboratory was a criminal brain.

The brain you stole, Fritz. Yes.

The bride is kept waiting.

The monster?

The moon's rising. We've no time to lose.

The neck's broken.

The rest, follow me. Come on. Come on, quick!

The very day we announced our engagement, he told me of his experiments.

The whole village is kept waiting.

Then light your torches and go!

Then we'll be ready.

Then we'll go to the village and have a grand time, huh?

There can be no wedding while this horrible creation of mine is still alive.

There doesn't seem to be anybody in the place.

There he is! The murderer!

There is another woman,

There was a strange look in his eyes, some mystery.

There we go.

There you are. You see how it is.

There you have his mad dream.

There, Henry. You can't do any more now.

There! Turn the hounds loose!

There.

There. There, that's better.

There'll be no wedding at all.

There's another woman, and you're afraid to tell me.

There's nothing the matter.

There's nothing to cry about.

There's nothing to fear. Look.

There's someone there.

These orange blossoms have been worn at our weddings.

They must not see that. Here, quick, give me a hand.

They were becoming dangerous.

They're calling for you, Baron.

Think l'm going to let these people in? Not much.

Think of it. The brain of a dead man,

Thirty years ago,

This creature of yours should be kept under guard !

This is madness. Give me that.

This place seems to drive everybody crazy. l. . .

This storm will be magnificent!

This stuff's wasted on them.

This way. Come on. Hurry. Hurry!

Those are your people.

Those horrible days and nights.

To present this picture without just a word of friendly warning.

To the house of Frankenstein.

Today you'll make me very happy by doing the same for Elizabeth.

Tomorrow they'll all be fighting.

Tomorrow we'll see about that.

Tonight you shall have your proof.

Truly, l am.

Unless Henry comes to his senses,

Very foreseeing of her to prevent my grandfather drinking this.

Very well, Fräulein. l've warned you.

Very well.

Victor, Dr. Waldman, come quickly!

Victor, have you seen him?

Victor, where is he?

Victor, you must help me.

Victor? What is it?

Victor.

Victor.

VlCTOR: Henry! Henry!

VlCTOR: Henry! WALDMAN: Frankenstein !

Wait a minute! All right! All right!

Wait a minute. l'm coming.

Wait a moment. l understand.

Wait till l bring him into the light.

Waiting to live again in a body l made with my own hands.

Wake up and look facts in the face.

WALDMAN: Let us in ! You must leave me alone.

WALDMAN: Take care, Herr Frankenstein ! Take care!

Watch.

We are about to unfold the story of Frankenstein,

We must find another brain.

We must overpower him first. Get me a hypodermic needle.

We thought that Mr. Henry could do with a glass of his great grandmother's wine.

We will preserve them.

We'll get him. Quiet!

We'll see whether l'm crazy or not.

We've lots to do.

Well, as l said before, l say again.

Well, come down then and help with these attachments.

Well, go ahead and knock.

Well, if l could discover just one of these things,

Well, l suppose l'd better show myself.

Well, pretty sort of place for my son to be in, l must say.

Well, tell him to go away.

Well, tell them to unprepare.

Well, we've warned you.

Well, well, well, well.

Well, well, well. What's all this?

Well, what are the lives of a few rabbits and dogs?

Well, what do you want?

Well, what is it?

Well, what is it?

Well, what l really want to know is,

Well, what's the matter?

Well, you all full? Yes? Come along.

Well, you know, his researches in the field of

Well, you ought to know. lt came from your own laboratory.

Well?

Were far in advance of our theories here at the university.

Were not perfect enough for his experiments, he said.

What a forsaken place here.

What about his work?

What can he mean?

What can we do?

What do you mean, "No trouble"? There's nothing but trouble.

What do you mean?

What do you suppose l'm here for, pleasure? Huh?

What do you want? ELlZABETH: Open the door.

What does he say then?

What eternity is, for example,

What is it, Elizabeth?

What will happen to the records of my experiment?

What's all this nonsense of locked doors? Henry!

What's happening here?

What's that?

What's that? What's that? Henry! Henry!

What's the matter with my son? What's he doing?

What's the matter with you?

What's this?

When he goes toward you, l will make the injection in his back.

When he has a decent house, a bath,

When will our wedding be?

When will the wedding be, if you please?

Where are you, my dear? Oh, there you are.

Where should we be if nobody tried to find out what lies beyond?

Where's Dr. Waldman? Why is he late for the wedding?

Where's Henry? Why. . .

Which way did he go?

Which way?

Which you said was the highest color in the spectrum.

Who are you?

Who is it?

Who is it? Who is it? What do you want? You must leave me alone now!

Who sought to create a man after his own image

Whoever it is, don't let them in.

Whose brain must be given time to develop.

Whose life was one of brutality, of violence and murder.

Why does he go messing around an old, ruined windmill,

Why,

Why, of course l'll help you.

Why, of course.

Why, that. . .

Why, what's the matter?

Will you play with me?

Will you, Henry? Are you sure?

With my own hands.

Without reckoning upon God.

WOMAN: Make a little talk.

WOMAN: Oh, God !

WOMAN: They're having a wonderful time, aren't they?

WOMAN: Where is it?

Won't you come with us?

Won't you help us to take him away?

Won't you trust me, just for tonight?

Would you like one of my flowers?

Yes, his work.

Yes, that's what frightens me.

Yes, they're done.

Yes, this is it.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, we know all about that, but what do you want?

Yes. About three weeks ago.

Yes. The first word in four months.

Yet so erratic, he troubles me.

You can't see him. Go away.

You do not quite get what l mean.

You have created a monster, and it will destroy you !

You have those, and l'll have these.

You know l'd go to the ends of the Earth for you.

You look as though you've been kicked by a horse.

You mean, changed as a result of his work?

You must be patient.

You must come home until you get well again.

You must keep them out. Too late.

You see? lt understands.

You stand there.

You stay here and take care of him.

You stay here, Maria. l'll just take a look at my traps.

You think l'm an idiot, don't you?

You too, Elizabeth.

You two have it all arranged, haven't you?

You understand? ln your care.

You were wrong.

You will have plenty to be afraid of before the night's over.

You will not be very welcome.

You won't be long, Daddy? Oh, no, no.

You, too.

You'll ruin everything. My experiment is almost completed.

You'll soon feel better when you get out of here.

You're crazy!

You're just nervous.

You're not to think of those things anymore. You promised.

You're quite mistaken, Baron.

You're trying to burn it down, eh? What's that for, eh?

You're young, my friend. Your success has intoxicated you.

You've got to leave!

Your great grandfather wore this, Henry.

Your health will be ruined if you persist in this madness.

Your wedding will only be postponed a day at most.

"At night, the winds howl in the mountains.

"close to the town of Goldstadt.

"l am living in an abandoned, old watchtower,

"My work must come first, even before you.

"Only my assistant is here to help me with my experiments."

"Prying eyes can't peer into my secret."

"There is no one here.

"You must have faith in me, Elizabeth. Wait.
