Frankenweenie (2012)

Quotes

Frankenweenie

Edit
  • Mr. Rzykruski: Ladies and gentlemen. I think the confusion here is that you are all very ignorant. Is that right word, ignorant? I mean stupid, primitive,unenlightened. You do not understand science, so you are afraid of it. Like a dog is afraid of thunder or balloons. To you, science is magic and witchcraft because you have such small minds. I cannot make your heads bigger, but your children's heads, I can take them and crack them open. This is what I try to do, to get at their brains!
  • Mr. Rzykruski: Science is not good or bad, Victor. But it can be used both ways. That is why you must always be careful.
  • Mrs. Frankenstien: When you lose someone you love, they never really leave you. They just move into a special place in your heart. He'll always be there, Victor.
  • Victor Frankenstien: I don't want him in my heart. I want him here with me.
  • Victor Frankenstien: Nobody likes scientists.
  • Mr. Rzykruski: They like what science gives them, but not the questions, no. Not the questions that science asks.
  • Victor Frankenstien: [pause] Actually, I have a question.
  • Mr. Rzykruski: [chuckles] That is why you are scientist.
  • Mr. Frankenstein: Victor, what have you done?
  • Victor Frankenstien: You said yourself, if you could bring back Sparky, you would!
  • Mr. Frankenstein: Yes, but that was different because we couldn't! It's easy to promise the impossible.
  • Mr. Frankenstein: Victor, is there anything we can do for you?
  • Victor Frankenstien: [kneeling at Sparky's lifeless body] You said that I need to let him go.
  • Mr. Frankenstein: Sometimes, adults don't know what they're talking about.
  • Mr. Rzykruski: Back home, everyone is scientist. Even my plumber wins Nobel Prize. Your country does not make enough scientist. Always needs more. You should be a scientist, Victor.
  • Victor Frankenstien: I was doing my experiment, my project, and the first time it worked great. But the next time it didn't. I mean, it sort of worked, but then it didn't. And I don't know why.
  • Mr. Rzykruski: Then maybe you never really understood it the first time. People think science is here
  • [pointing to head]
  • Mr. Rzykruski: but it is also here.
  • [pointing to chest]
  • Mr. Rzykruski: The first time, did you love your experiment?
  • Victor Frankenstien: Yes.
  • Mr. Rzykruski: Ah. And the second time?
  • Victor Frankenstien: No. I just wanted it over.
  • Mr. Rzykruski: Then you changed the variables.
  • Victor Frankenstien: [to Sparky's lifeless body after resuscitation attempt] It's okay, boy. You don't have to come back. You'll always be in my heart.
  • Edgar 'E' Gore: [to Victor] Your dog is alive!
  • Victor Frankenstien: [giving an excuse about an upturned bucket moving across attic floor, as Sparky struggles to escape from it] It's a robot.
  • Mrs. Frankenstien: A robotic bucket?
  • Victor Frankenstien: Yes.
  • Mrs. Frankenstien: For mopping, I suppose?
  • Victor Frankenstien: Yes.
  • Mrs. Frankenstien: Maybe when you're finished, you'll let me use it.
  • Mayor Burgemeister: As mayor of New Holland, you have entrusted me with your safety. So I can't sit idly, while a teacher *endangers* our children.
  • Bob's Mom: [referring to Mr. Rzykruski] The man is a menace!
  • New Holland Townsfolk: She's right. He's crazy!
  • New Holland Townsfolk II: Have you looked through this science book they're using? Apparently, Pluto isn't good enough to be a planet any more. When I was a kid, Pluto was a great planet. This guy comes along, and rewrites the rules!
  • Mrs. Frankenstien: In fairness, he didn't write the textbook.
  • Bob: [frantically] Victor! I... I need your help.
  • Victor Frankenstien: Did you see those things? They were like...
  • Bob: Sea Monkeys! You know how on the package, they're like, in a happy kingdom, and everyone's smiling?
  • Victor Frankenstien: Yeah?
  • Bob: They're not like that at all.
  • Toshiaki: [running up] Victor! I need your help.
  • Bob: I asked him first!
  • Toshiaki: My problem bigger!
  • [pointing behind him]
  • Toshiaki: [Sounds of thundering footsteps and roaring. Camera pans to show a giant dinosaur-tortoise mutant stomping down the street]
  • Bob: Yeah, he's right.
  • Edgar 'E' Gore: I know.
  • Victor Frankenstien: What?
  • Edgar 'E' Gore: [pointedly] I know.
  • Victor Frankenstien: Know what?
  • Edgar 'E' Gore: [pointedly] You know...
  • Victor Frankenstien: No.
  • Edgar 'E' Gore: I think I know what you know I know.
  • Victor Frankenstien: Look, I don't know what you think I know. But I don't know it.
  • Toshiaki: How are we supposed to see an invisible goldfish?
  • Edgar 'E' Gore: Put your finger in. You can feel it.
  • Bob: [inserting hand into glass jar of plain water] Ah! It bit me!
  • Victor Frankenstien: Where's Mr. Rzykruski?
  • Gym Teacher: All I know is I'll be teaching the class for the rest of the semester.
  • Elsa Van Helsing: Do you know anything about science?
  • Gym Teacher: I know more than you do.
  • Bob: Mr. Rzykruski knew a lot.
  • Gym Teacher: Well, sometimes knowing too much is the problem.
  • Victor Frankenstien: What about the science fair?
  • Gym Teacher: Oh, it's still on, but it will be judged by someone who's not insane: Me!
