Quotes 

• Victor Frankenstien : Nobody likes scientists.

  Mr. Rzykruski : They like what science gives them, but not the questions, no. Not the questions that science asks.

  Victor Frankenstien : [pause]  Actually, I have a question.

  Mr. Rzykruski : [chuckles]  That is why you are scientist.

• Mrs. Frankenstien : When you lose someone you love, they never really leave you. They just move into a special place in your heart. He'll always be there, Victor.

  Victor Frankenstien : I don't want him in my heart. I want him here with me.

• Mr. Frankenstein : Victor, what have you done?

  Victor Frankenstien : You said yourself, if you could bring back Sparky, you would!

  Mr. Frankenstein : Yes, but that was different because we couldn't! It's easy to promise the impossible.

• Mr. Frankenstein : Victor, is there anything we can do for you?

  Victor Frankenstien : [kneeling at Sparky's lifeless body]  You said that I need to let him go.

  Mr. Frankenstein : Sometimes, adults don't know what they're talking about.

• Victor Frankenstien : 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 : Then maybe you never really understood it the first time. People think science is here

  [pointing to head] 

  Mr. Rzykruski : but it is also here.

  [pointing to chest] 

  Mr. Rzykruski : The first time, did you love your experiment?

  Victor Frankenstien : Yes.

  Mr. Rzykruski : Ah. And the second time?

  Victor Frankenstien : No. I just wanted it over.

  Mr. Rzykruski : Then you changed the variables.

• Victor Frankenstien : [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 Frankenstien : [giving an excuse about an upturned bucket moving across attic floor, as Sparky struggles to escape from it]  It's a robot.

  Mrs. Frankenstien : A robotic bucket?

  Victor Frankenstien : Yes.

  Mrs. Frankenstien : For mopping, I suppose?

  Victor Frankenstien : Yes.

  Mrs. Frankenstien : Maybe when you're finished, you'll let me use it.

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

  Victor Frankenstien : 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 Frankenstien : Yeah?

  Bob : They're not like that at all.

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

  Bob : I asked him first!

  Toshiaki : My problem bigger!

  [pointing behind him] 

  Toshiaki : [Sounds of thundering footsteps and roaring. Camera pans to show a giant dinosaur-tortoise mutant stomping down the street] 

  Bob : Yeah, he's right.

• Edgar 'E' Gore : I know.

  Victor Frankenstien : What?

  Edgar 'E' Gore : [pointedly]  I know.

  Victor Frankenstien : Know what?

  Edgar 'E' Gore : [pointedly]  You know...

  Victor Frankenstien : No.

  Edgar 'E' Gore : I think I know what you know I know.

  Victor Frankenstien : Look, I don't know what you think I know. But I don't know it.

• Victor Frankenstien : 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 Frankenstien : What about the science fair?

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