Others

Victor, did you ever ask yourself, of all the parts that make that man, which one holds the soul?

Others

Forgive. Forget. That is the true measure of wisdom. To know you have been harmed, and by whom you have been harmed, and to choose to let it all fade.

Dialogue

Professor Krempe: This unholy. An abomination! An obscenity! God gives life, and God takes it, Victor! Dr. Victor Frankenstein: Then perhaps God is inept! And it is we that must amend His mistakes!

Dialogue

Dr. Victor Frankenstein: Mercury. Are you ill? Heinrich Harlander: Thank you. ::drinks it:: Dr. Victor Frankenstein: Is it syphillis? Heinrich Harlander: Ja, I'm dying. "One night with Venus, a lifetime with Mercury." Isn't that the phrase? Dr. Victor Frankestein: What stage is it? Secondary? Heinrich Harlander: We both know the precise schedule. It starts to eat away my bones. Orbital. Cheek. Teeth. Jaw. Skull, exposing my brain. Tumors, madness, excruciating pain. One fine morning I will start to scream. And I will never stop.

Dialogue

Dr. Victor Frankenstein: You should not go near it. Elizabeth Harlander: "It?" Dr. Victor Frankenstein: It. Yes. I believe there is life in it. But not the spark of intelligence as I intended. Elizabeth Harlander: Perhaps not as you understand it... Dr. Victor Frankenstein: Something went wrong. A blockage, a suture, a connection... Elizabeth Harlander: You, the great Victor Frankenstein, made a mistake? Dr. Victor Frankenstein: The Creature knows but one word, and one word alone. "Victor. Victor, Victor, Victor!" It just parrots it, without rhyme or reason. Elizabeth Harlander: Perhaps for the time being, that word means everything to him. What if, in being anew, the spirit that animates him is simpler, purer, purer than that of the common man? Dr. Victor Frankestein: ::scoffs:: Purer? Elizabeth Harlander: What if, unrestrained by sin, our Creator's breath came into his flesh directly? Dr. Victor Frankenstein: Good God, Elizabeth! If I could force myself to believe it, it would be my

Dialogue

The Creature: I found what I am. What I'm made from. I am the child of a charnel house. A wreckage, assembled from refuse and discarded dead. A monster. Blind Man: I know what you are. A good man. And you are my friend.

Dialogue

The Creature: I need you to make me a companion. Dr. Victor Frankenstein: A..a companion? Oh. I see. Another monster. The Creature: Yes. We can be monsters together.

Dialogue

Dr. Victor Frankenstein: In you, I have created something truly horrible. The Creature: Not something. Someone.

Dialogue

The Creature: Make one like me. Dr. Victor Frankenstein: And then what? Procreation. Reproduction. Mm... A home? A grave? Death begetting death begetting death. A race of devils propagated upon the earth. Obscenity perpetuating itself. The Creature: I am obscene to you, but to myself I simply am. Dr. Victor Frankenstein: BEGONE! Never again will I make something like you, wicked and deformed. The Creature: Then it is still all about your will, Victor? That horrible, horrible will that birthed me, condemns me now? ::grabs Victor:: The miracle is not that I should speak, but that you would ever LISTEN! ::throws Victor across the room:: If you are not to award me love, then I shall indulge in rage. And mine is infinite!

Dialogue

Dr. Victor Frankenstein: No, I can save you... William Frankenstein: From what? From you? I fear you Victor, I always have. Every ounce of madness and destruction. The very conflagration that devoured everything. It all came from you. You are the monster.

Dialogue

Dr. Victor Frankenstein: I am sorry. Regret consumes me. And I now regard my life for what it was. The Creature: You will go now, creator. Fade away. It will all be but a brief moment. My birth. My grief. Your loss. I will not be punished, nor absolved. What hope I had, what rage... It is all nothing. The tide that brought me here now comes to take you away. Leaving me stranded. Dr. Victor Frankenstein: Forgive me. My son. And if you have it in your heart, forgive yourself into existence. If death is not to be, then consider this, my son. While you are alive, what recourse do you have but to live? Live. Say my name. My father gave me that name, and it meant nothing. Now I ask you to give it back to me... one last time. The way you said it at the beginning. When it meant the world to you. The Creature: Victor. I forgive you. Rest now, Father. Perhaps now, we can both be human.
