Cloris LeachmanQuotes

Granny: Elly May, don't spit from a moving vehicle! Wait till it stops.

Aunt Pearl: Paradise is someplace like... Beverly Hills, Californy.

Jethro: They got swimming pools and movie stars!

Elly May: And smog!

Granny: What's a smog?

Jethro: I reckon it's a small hog.

Nurse Spex: The kids who get, uh, bitten by radioactive insects or fall into a vat of toxic waste, their powers usually show up the next day. Or… they die.

Ruth Popper: [to Sonny; pause] What am I doing apologizin to you? Why am I always apologizin to you, ya little bastard? Three months I been apologizing to you, without you even bein here. I haven't done anything wrong - why can't I quit apologizin'? You're the one oughta be sorry. I wouldn't still be in my bathrobe if it hadn't been for you. I'da had my clothes on hours ago. You're the one made me quit carin if I got dressed or not. I guess just because your friend got killed you want me to forget what you did and make it all right. I'm not sorry for you. You'd've left Billy, too, just like you left me. I bet you left him plenty a nights, whenever Jacy whistled. I wouldn't treat a dog that way. I guess you thought I was so old and ugly you didn't owe me any explanation. You didn't need to be careful of me. There wasn't anythin I could do about you and her - why should you be careful of me? You didn't love me. Look at me. Can't you even look at me? Y'see? You shouldn't have come here. I'm around that corner now. You've ruined it and it's lost completely. Just your needing me won't make it come back. Never you mind, honey, never you mind.

Dr. Frankenstein: Love is the only thing that can save this poor creature, and I am going to convince him that he is loved even at the cost of my own life. No matter what you hear in there, no matter how cruelly I beg you, no matter how terribly I may scream, do not open this door or you will undo everything I have worked for. Do you understand? Do not open this door!

Inga: Yes, Doctor.

Igor: [sarcastically] Nice workin with ya.

Dr. Frankenstein: [panicking, turns back to the door; turns to the Monster, then back to the door; sarcastically; begins pounding on the door; outside, Frau Blūcher stops Inga and Igor from trying to open the cell] Let me out. Let me out of here. Get me the hell out of here. What's the matter with you people? I WAS JOKING! Don't you know a joke when you hear one? HA HA HA! Jesus Christ, let me out of here! Open this goddamn door or I'll kick your rotten heads in! MOMMY!!!

Frau Blucher: [blocking the door as Inga and Igor again try to open the cell] Nein!

Dr. Frankenstein: [turns back to the Monster, deciding a different approach...; the Monster looks momentarily wrong-footed; the Monster starts to cry; he hugs him] Hello, handsome! You're a good looking fellow, do you know that? People laugh at you, people hate you, but why do they hate you? Because...they are JEALOUS! Look at that boyish face. Look at that sweet smile. Do you wanna talk about physical strength? Do you want to talk about sheer muscle? Do you want to talk about the Olympian ideal? You are a GOD! And listen to me, you are not evil. You...are...GOOD! 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!!!

Dr. Frankenstein: That music......

Frau Blucher: [[soul] Yes. It's in your blood - it's in the blood of ALL Frankensteins. It reaches the ] when words are useless. Your grandfather used to play it to the creature HE was making.

Dr. Frankenstein: Then it was you all the time.

Frau Blucher: Yes.

Dr. Frankenstein: You played that music in the middle of the night......

Frau Blucher: Yes.

Dr. Frankenstein: to get us to the laboratory.

Frau Blucher: Yes.

Dr. Frankenstein: That was YOUR cigar smouldering in the ashtray.

Frau Blucher: Yes.

Dr. Frankenstein: And it was you... who left my grandfather's book out for me to find.

Frau Blucher: Yes.

Dr. Frankenstein: So I would...

Frau Blucher: Yes.

Dr. Frankenstein: Then you and Victor were...

Frau Blucher: YES. YES. Say it. He was my... BOYFRIEND!

Frau Blücher: Would the doctor care for a...brandy before retiring?

Dr. Frankenstein: No. Thank you.

Frau Blücher: Some varm milk...perhaps?

Dr. Frankenstein: No...thank you very much. No thanks.

Frau Blücher: Ovaltine?

Dr. Frankenstein: NOTHING! Thank you! I'm a little - tired!

Frau Blücher: Then I vill say...goodnight, Herr Doctor.

Dr. Frankenstein: Goodnight, Frau Blücher.
