Quotes 

• Baron Victor von Frankenstein : [reading from his ancestor's stone memorial marker]  "I, Frankenstein, began my work in the year 1740 A.D. with all good intentions and humane thoughts to the high purpose of probing the secrets of life itself with but one end, the betterment of mankind."

  [speaking for himself] 

  Baron Victor von Frankenstein : So wrote my ancestor, but first he had to learn how flesh is made. He had to discover the art of transplanting vital organs from human beings into his creature and knitting them together until they all had all the attributes of God-inspired birth. Of course, I must admit that perhaps he was not too scrupulous about where he got his raw material.

• Baron Victor von Frankenstein : [to Mike Shaw]  This castle is filled with rare, old treasures.

  [putting his hand on his shoulder in a condescending manner] 

  Baron Victor von Frankenstein : Feel free to browse, my friend.

• Baron Victor von Frankenstein : Shuter, yours is not the brain that I would have chosen, but at least you are obedient.
