Quotes10

  • Peter: Android, Andy! Andy, wait, I'm Peter, your friend. The doctor is an evil man. He wants to exploit you. You're only a pawn in his hands! A tool for his avaricious ambitions.
  • Mike: Avaricious ambitions? Where did he get that?
  • Davy: It's in the script.
  • Mike: Are you sure?
  • Davy: Yes, on page 28.
  • 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!
  • Micky: [Having given the monster a makeover] Now how does it look?
  • Mike: He looks like a long-haired, nearsighted monster with a guitar.
  • Mike: Who in the world are you?
  • Dr. Mendoza's Daughter: I am the doctor's beautiful daugher.
  • Micky: Oh eh, but what do you have to do with all this?
  • Dr. Mendoza's Daughter: Nothing, I'm in the sequel.
  • 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.
  • Mike: I don't think $200 dollars is gonna do us any good if we're dead!
  • Micky: Yeah, man. We shoulda asked for $250!
  • Micky: This place looks like it was condemned before it was built.
  • Mike: It looks like a high-rise garbage dump.
  • Monster: Groovy man, that's not my bag. Don't get uptight.
  • Davy: Hey, he's become a hippie.
  • Monster: Let's split, go to my pad. That's where it's at. Groovy? Dig?
  • Mike: Oh great, now we got a super hippie on our hands.
