Dr. Frederick Frankenstein
- I am not a Frankenstein. I'm a Fronkensteen.
- From that fateful day when stinking bits of slime first crawled from the sea and shouted to the cold stars, "I am man!", our greatest dread has always been the knowledge of our mortality. But tonight, we shall hurl the gauntlet of science into the frightful face of death itself. Tonight, we shall ascend into the heavens. We shall mock the earthquake. We shall command the thunders, and penetrate into the very womb of impervious nature herself.

- Dr. Frankenstein: You know, I'm a rather brilliant surgeon. Perhaps I can help you with that hump.
- Igor: What hump?
- Dr. Frankenstein: For the experiment to be a success, all of the body parts must be enlarged.
- Inga: His veins, his feet, his hands, his organs vould all have to be increased in size.
- Dr. Frankenstein: Precisely.

- Dr. Frankenstein: [to The Monster] This is a nice boy. This is a good boy. This is a mother's angel. And I want the world to know once and for all, and without any shame, that we love him. I'm going to teach you. I'm going to show you how to walk, how to speak, how to move, how to think. Together, you and I are going to make the greatest single contribution to science since the creation of fire.
- Inga: [from outside] Dr. Fronkensteen! Are you all right?
- Dr. Frankenstein: MY NAME IS FRANKENSTEIN!
- Igor: You know, this reminds me of what my father would say to me, when these things would happen to him.
- Dr. Frankenstein: What would he say?
- Igor: "What the hell are you doing in the bathroom day and night!? Get out of there, give someone else a chance!" [goes back to eating]
