Quotes8

  • Mike: Eh, you can't really expect us to teach a monster to sing?
  • Dr. Mendoza: Well, he's not really a monster, he's a machine.
  • Mike: Well, we can't tutor a computer.
  • Mike: [Talking on the phone] Eh that's right officer, it's the big scary looking house on the very top of the hill. What? Oh, just a second I'll have to check.
  • Mike: [walks over to Dr. Mendoza who is being tied up] Hey Doctor, what's the name of this street?
  • Dr. Mendoza: Rosebud Lane.
  • Mike: Rosebud - I thought that was the name of a sled?
  • Mike: Ehm, Doctor Mendoza, I sort of assume that you want us to teach your friend Rock and Roll?
  • Dr. Mendoza: That's right. Rock und Roll really appeals to the little monster.
  • Davy: Oh, it's a child. Is he your son?
  • Dr. Mendoza: Yes, I guess you could say he is my own flesh and blood. Hah!
  • Mike: Hey doctor, you know, if we die, you could go to the chair for this.
  • Dr. Mendoza: Hoho, there is very little danger of you dying. Gottfried von Schnitzler says this type of experiment need not be fatal.
  • Mike: Who in the world is Gottfried von Schnitzler?
  • Dr. Mendoza: Oh, you know Gottfried, he's a little boy who lives down the hill.
  • Dr. Mendoza: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the evilest one of all?
  • The Magic Mirror: Dr. Carl Shweibel of Dusseldorf, Germany.
  • Dr. Mendoza: But I thought it was me!
  • The Magic Mirror: You're only second best. You'll have to try harder. And don't yell at me, I only work here.
  • Groot: Now that you've made the singing android, will you not do as you promised and turn me into a tall, strong monster?
  • Dr. Mendoza: Yes, Groot, I will turn you into a vampire.
  • Groot: Oh, but you promised to make me into a wolfman.
  • Dr. Mendoza: All right, I'll make you into a wolfman.
  • Groot: Oh good. Allthough vampires are nice...
  • Groot: It's for you, master. She says it's vitally important.
  • [Hands him the phone]
  • Dr. Mendoza: Hello, this is Doctor Mendoza. No madame, we are not interested in Bossa Nova lessons.
  • Dr. Mendoza: This is my valet, Groot.
  • Groot: I live to grovel.
