[prologue]
Edward Van SloanHow 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're 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 is your chance to, uh... well, we've warned you!

Henry FrankensteinDangerous? Poor old Waldman. Have you never wanted to do anything that was dangerous? Where should we be if no one 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. Well, 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.

Doctor WaldmanYou really believe you can bring life to the dead?
Henry FrankensteinThat 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.

Baron FrankensteinWhat's the matter with my son? What's he doing?
ElizabethHe's completing his experiments. That's all.
Baron FrankensteinWhy does he go messing around in an old ruined windmill - when he has a decent house, a bath, good food and drink, and a darn pretty girl to come back to. Huh, will you tell me that?
ElizabethBaron, you don't understand.
Baron FrankensteinI understand perfectly well. There's another woman and you're afraid to tell me. Pretty sorted experiment these must be! Huh!
ElizabethOh, but Baron, you're wrong!

Doctor WaldmanYou 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.
