Henry Frankenstein : Look! It's moving. It's alive. It's alive... It's alive, it's moving, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, IT'S ALIVE!
Victor Moritz : Henry - In the name of God!
Henry Frankenstein : Oh, in the name of God! Now I know what it feels like to be God!

Henry Frankenstein : Dangerous? 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.

Elizabeth : Henry, I'm afraid. Terribly afraid. Where's Dr. Waldman? Why is he late for the wedding?

Elizabeth : Something is going to happen. I feel it! I can't get it out of my mind.
-
Henry Frankenstein : He's just resting. Waiting for a new life to come.
