Frankenweenie (2012) - Quotes

Victor: Where's Mr. Rzykruski?

Gym Teacher: All I know is I'll be teaching the class for the rest of the semester.

Elsa Van Helsing: Do you know anything about science?

Gym Teacher: I know more than you do.

Bob: Mr. Rzykruski knew a lot.

Gym Teacher: Well, sometimes knowing too much is the problem.

Victor: What about the science fair?

Gym Teacher: Oh, it's still on, but it will be judged by someone who's not insane: Me!

Mayor: As mayor of New Holland, you have entrusted me with your safety. So I can't sit idly, while a teacher *endangers* our children.

Bob's Mom: [referring to Mr. Rzykruski] The man is a menace!

New Holland Townsfolk: She's right. He's crazy!

New Holland Townsfolk II: Have you looked through this science book they're using? Apparently, Pluto isn't good enough to be a planet any more. When I was a kid, Pluto was a great planet. This guy comes along, and rewrites the rules!

Mrs. Frankenstien: In fairness, he didn't write the textbook.

Bob: [frantically] Victor! I... I need your help.

Victor: Did you see those things? They were like...

Bob: Sea Monkeys! You know how on the package, they're like, in a happy kingdom, and everyone's smiling?

Victor: Yeah?

Bob: They're not like that at all.

Toshiaki: [running up] Victor! I need your help.

Bob: I asked him first!

Toshiaki: [pointing behind him and sounds of thundering footsteps and roaring. Camera pans to show a giant dinosaur-tortoise mutant stomping down the street] My problem bigger!

Bob: Yeah, he's right.

Victor: I was doing my experiment, my project, and the first time it worked great. But the next time it didn't. I mean, it sort of worked, but then it didn't. And I don't know why.

Mr. Rzykruski: [pointing to head; pointing to chest] Then maybe you never really understood it the first time. People think science is here but it is also here. The first time, did you love your experiment?

Victor: Yes.

Mr. Rzykruski: Ah. And the second time?

Victor: No. I just wanted it over.

Mr. Rzykruski: Then you changed the variables.

Edward: What you did was a very serious thing! Crossing the boundary between life and death, reanimating a corpse! It's very... upsetting!

Victor: [to Sparky's lifeless body after resuscitation attempt] It's okay, boy. You don't have to come back. You'll always be in my heart.

Victor: [after Sparky hit by a car or a burning windmill collapsed at the final climax, his parents gripping him by the arms so he won't impulsively run forward into danger] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Mr. Rzykruski: Science is not good or bad, Victor. But it can be used both ways. That is why you must always be careful.

Mr. Rzykruski: Back home, everyone is scientist. Even my plumber wins Nobel Prize. Your country does not make enough scientist. Always needs more. You should be a scientist, Victor.

Mr. Rzykruski: To you, science is magic and witchcraft, because you have such... such small minds! I cannot make your heads bigger, but your children's heads? I can take them and crack them open! This is what I try to do, to get at their brains!
