Frankenstein
The Quest to Revive Life Through Science
Henry You're quite sure you want to come in? ...Very well. Forgive me, but I'm forced to take unusual precautions...A moment ago you said I was crazy. Tomorrow we'll see about that. Don't touch that! Dr. Waldman. I learned a great deal from you at the University about the violet ray, the ultra-violet ray, which you said was the highest color in the spectrum. You were wrong. Here in this machinery I have gone beyond that. I have discovered the great ray that first brought life into the world.
[locks door and pockets key; to Dr. Waldman]
Waldman Oh! And your proof?
Henry Tonight, you shall have your proof. At first, I experimented only with dead animals, and then a human heart which I kept beating for three weeks. But now, I'm going to turn that ray on that body and endow it with life.
Waldman And you really believe that you can bring life to the dead?
Henry That body is not dead. It has never lived. I created it. I made it with my own hands from the bodies I took from graves, from the gallows, anywhere! Go and see for yourself.

Trust and Disturbance in Experimentation
Henry Elizabeth, please, won't you go away? Won't you trust me, just for tonight?
Elizabeth You're ill. What's the matter?
Henry Nothing. I'm quite all right, truly I am. Oh, can't you see? I mustn't be disturbed. You'll ruin everything. My experiment is almost completed.
Elizabeth Wait a moment. I understand. I believe in you. But I cannot leave you tonight.
Henry You've got to leave!
Victor Henry, you're inhuman. You're crazy.
Henry Crazy, am I? We'll see whether I'm crazy or not. Come on up...

Dismissal of the Burgomaster's Importance
Maid If you please, Herr Baron, the burgomaster.
Baron Well, tell him to go away.
Maid But he says it's important.
Baron Nothing the burgomaster can say can be of the slightest importance.
Vogel Good day, Herr Baron. Frulein.
Baron Well, what do you want? if it's trouble, go away. I've trouble enough.
Vogel Oh, there's no trouble, sir.
Baron What do you mean, "no trouble"? there's nothing but trouble.
Vogel I brought you these flowers.
Elizabeth Thank you, Herr Vogel.

Pre-Wedding Tension and Unease
Elizabeth Henry. I'm afraid. Terribly afraid. Where's Dr. Waldman? Why is he late for the wedding?
Henry Oh, he's always late. He'll be here soon.
Elizabeth Something is going to happen. I feel it. I can't get it out of my mind.
Henry You're just nervous. All the excitement and preparation.
Elizabeth No, no. It isn't that. I felt it all day. Something is coming between us. I know it! I know it!
Henry Sit down and rest. You look so tired.
Elizabeth If I could just do something to save us from it.
Henry From what, dear, from what?
Elizabeth I don't know. If I could just get it out of my mind. Oh, I'd die if I had to lose you now, Henry.
Henry Lose me? Why, I'll always be with you.
Elizabeth Will you, Henry? Are you sure? I love you so.

Frankenstein
A Cautionary Tale of Creation and Consequence
Edward van Sloan How do you do? Mr. Carl Laemmle feels it would be a little unkind to present this picture without just a word of friendly warning. We are about to unfold the story of Frankenstein, a man of science who sought to create a man after his own image without reckoning upon God. It is one of the strangest tales ever told. It deals with the two great mysteries of creation — life and death. I think it will thrill you. It may shock you. It might even — horrify you. So if any of you feel that you do not care to subject your nerves to such a strain, now's your chance to — uh, well, we warned you.
[the producer]
Elizabeth The very day we announced our engagement, he told me of his experiments. He said he was on the verge of a discovery so terrific that he doubted his own sanity. There was a strange look in his eyes, some mystery. His words carried me right away. Of course I've never doubted him but still I worry. I can't help it.
Dr. Waldman Herr Frankenstein is a most brilliant young man, yet so erratic he troubles me.
Villagers Burn the mill! Burn it down! Burn the mill!

Maria See how mine float?
Maria No, you're hurting me. No!

The Consequences of Ambition in Creation
Waldman Herr Frankenstein is greatly changed.
Victor You mean changed as a result of his work?
Waldman Yes, his work, his insane ambition to create life.
Elizabeth How? How? Please tell us everything, whatever it is.
Waldman The bodies we use in our dissecting room for lecture purposes were not perfect enough for his experiments, he said. He wished us to supply him with other bodies and we were not to be too particular as to where and how we got them. I told him that his demands were unreasonable. And so he left the University to work unhampered. He found what he needed elsewhere.
Victor Oh! The bodies of animals. Well, what are the lives of a few rabbits and dogs?
Waldman You do not quite get what I mean. Herr Frankenstein was interested only in human life — first to destroy it, then recreate it. There you have his mad dream.

Wedding Plans in Uncertain Times
Vogel Both in my private and official capacities as burgomaster...
Baron Yes, yes, yes, we know all about that, but what do you want?
Vogel What I really want to know is, when will the wedding be, if you please?
Baron Unless Henry comes to his senses, there'll be no wedding at all.
Vogel But Herr Baron, the village is already prepared.
Baron Well, tell them to unprepare.
Vogel Oh, but such a lovely bride! And such a fine young man, the very image of his father.
Baron Heaven forbid!
Vogel But sir, everything is ready!
Baron I know that! Don't keep on saying so, you idiot! There's nothing to cry about.
Vogel Good day, Miss Elizabeth. Good day, Herr Moritz.
Baron Good day, Herr Vogel.
Vogel Good day, Herr Baron.
Baron And good riddance to you. There you are. Huh! You see how it is. The whole village is kept waiting, the bride is kept waiting, and I am kept waiting. Henry must come home, if I have to fetch him myself.
Victor No, no, Baron.
Baron What do you mean, no, no,
Victor What about his work?
Baron Stuff and nonsense. what about his wedding? there is another woman... and I'm going to find her.

Elizabeth I shouldn't like that. I'm far too fond of you.

The Dangers of Scientific Ambition
Waldman This creature of yours should be kept under guard. Mark my words. He will prove dangerous.
Henry Dangerous! Poor old Waldman. Have you never wanted to do anything that was dangerous? Where should we be if nobody tried to find out what lies beyond? Have you never wanted to look beyond the clouds and the stars or to know what causes the trees to bud and what changes the darkness into light? But if you talk like that, people call you crazy. But if I could discover just one of these things, what eternity is, for example, I wouldn't care if they did think I was crazy!
Waldman You're young, my friend. Your success has intoxicated you. Wake up and look facts in the face! Here we have a fiend whose brain...
Henry The brain must be given time to develop. It's a perfectly good brain, doctor. You ought to know. It came from your own laboratory.
Waldman The brain that was stolen from my laboratory was a criminal brain.
Henry Oh well, after all, it's only a piece of dead tissue.
Waldman Only Evil can come of it! Your health will be ruined if you persist in this madness.
Henry I'm astonishingly sane, doctor.
Waldman You have created a Monster and he will destroy you.
Henry Patience, patience. I believe in this Monster, as you call it. And if you don't, well, you must leave me alone. So far, he's been kept in complete darkness. Wait till I bring him into the light.
