IMMORTAL
DIALOGUE |
| from
The
Headless Ghost (1959)
Aristocratic ghost:
He was beheaded for trying to lead an insurrection against Henry VII.
First American student:
You know what the psychologists say: under the stress of emotional
agitation, you see things! Hear things! It’s real to you, but they only
exist in your mind. American student: Every time you open that big mouth of yours, you – science major! – you’re wrong! You’re always wrong! |
| from The
Howling III: The Marsupials (1987)
Film director: You know, this movie is about pop
culture. In the sixties, Andy Warhol showed us how pop could be high art. In fact,
everything is high art. That's what this is all about. For example, in your first scene
you'll be gang raped by four monsters.
US President:
Any sign of Beckmeyer yet? Scientist: No, sir. I think he fell in love - with the Russian werewolf. US President: Was it - female? Scientist: Yes. US President: Well - thank Christ for that! |
from Humanoids From the Deep (1996) Apologetic scientist: They took five
death row inmates and injected them with a genetic code of sorts, taken from different
species of fish, primarily salmon. It essentially fuses with genetic material already
existing. |
from Incense For The Damned (1970) Diplomat: Are you telling me that a girl sucking the blood from
a man’s neck could induce an orgasm!? |
from It Conquered the World (1956)Scientist’s wife: Oh, look! Can’t you two talk about anything else? I’m getting tired of hearing about nothing but satellites, isotopes, conical graduations, and the rest! First
scientist: All
right, let’s assume you’re right. A superior intelligence has come
from Venus – in my satellite!
– established residency, turned off the world’s power, and is about to
take over the world’s population--- Why aren’t you
fighting it? Scientist’s
wife: I
hope you haven’t made a permanent enemy of Paul. You were really rough
on him tonight. Newspaperman: I helped found this town!
My newspaper got you your job for you, remember? A scientist’s epitaph: He learned almost too late that Man is a feeling creature – and because of it, the greatest in the universe! He learned too late for himself that men have to find their own way, make their own mistakes. There can’t be any gift of perfection from outside ourselves. And when men seek such perfection, they find only – death – fire – loss – disillusionment – and the end of everything that’s gone forward. Men have always sought an end to toil and misery – but it can’t be given – it has to be achieved! There is hope, but it has to come from inside – from Man himself! |
from I Was a Teenage Werewolf (1957) Cop: This Dr Brandon – he’s modern! He uses hypnosis! Father: There’re a couple of lamb chops in the icebox. I seasoned ‘em
the way you like. Just set ‘em in the pan. Mad doctor: Hugo, prepare the scopolamine! Mad doctor: At last, after years of searching, I’ve found a suitable person
for my experiment! His record at school, what the principal told me, and what I learned
through Dt-Sgt Donovan gives him the proper disturbed emotional background. And with what
I found out from the physical examination, this boy’s my perfect subject! There were
certain tell-tale marks on his body only I would recognise--- Mad doctor: Through hypnosis, I’m going to regress this boy back –
back into the primitive past that lurks within him! I’m going to transform him, and
unleash the savage instincts that lie hidden within! Mad doctor: Mankind is on the brink of destroying itself! The only hope for the human race is to hurl it back to its primitive dawn, to start all over again. What’s one life compared to such a triumph? Janitor: I know what killed him. He was killed by – by a werewolf! Assistant: Alfred, you read the paper! You know what happened! Mad doctor: We’ll have it all on film, from the time I give him the injection through the transformation! And then no-one will doubt my word! Even the most exacting, themost sceptical of scientists will be convinced that I have penetrated the deepest secrets of creation! |
from Jesse James meets Frankenstein's Daughter (1966) Female mad
scientist: What a fool I’ve been! I’ve allowed the
duo-thermal impulsator to be attached only to the body! Let’s see what
Grandfather’s notation says.... You see? The duo-thermal impulsator must also be
attached to a living brain, to transmit living vibrations to the artificial brain! Female mad scientist:
It’s because we’ve been forced to use the brains of children that we’ve
failed. What we need is a man - a powerful man - a giant! Then we will succeed! Male mad scientist:
Maria, we’ve already caused the deaths of three children, and violated the graves of
others, just to make the experiments! Female mad scientist:
This is the last artificial brain Grandfather Frankenstein made. The secret of how to make
them died with him. If I fail in this last attempt, I too am willing to die! Male mad scientist: What are you going to do next? There is no-one else left to experiment on! Outlaw #1:
I can’t hardly believe that the famous ‘Wild Bunch’ is down to three men! Female mad scientist: Rrrudolph - the laborrratory! Male mad scientist:
This wound is bad - it festers! Female mad scientist: Perhaps you are wondering why we live in this old abandoned mission? The answer is quite simple. My brother and I came here from Europe. We are scientists - perhaps ahead of our time. Our experiments were not always understood - or appreciated - in our own country.... Male mad scientist:
Maria, please stop these terrible experiments! We’ll have another death on our
conscience! Female mad scientist:
It’s lonesome out here, and very difficult for us. We do not know how to cope with
this wild country. Stay here. We need you. I need you. I’m on the verge of a
great experiment, and I know I will succeed this time! I will build an empire here! I want
you to share in everything - my experiments, my life.... Female mad scientist:
You’re to tell him it’s a prescription for Hank. That he’s taken a turn for
the worse, and that we need this prescription to be filled. Female mad scientist:
It’s a note to Jenson, the druggist in Shelby, telling him that the beaer is Jesse
James, the outlaw with a price on his head! Male mad scientist:
What you are going to do is insane! Male mad scientist:
Maria, this isn't the same as experimenting on one of the village children! Jesse James
will kill us! Female mad scientist: That dog! He always senses when you operate! Male mad scientist: Don’t do it, Maria! You are going too far! No-one should tamper with the laws of God! Female mad scientist: You are no longer Hank Tracy! You are now - Igor! Do you understand? Igor! That is how you will be known! I am Maria Frankenstein! As I think, you will think! We are one! I will command, you will obey! You will live as long as I will it! You will die when I command it! Remember, you are always under my control! You are now Igor! I command you to arise! Igor! I am Maria Frankenstein! I created you! I created you! I command you to get up! Get up, Igor! Female mad scientist: Igor, save me! Igor, save me! Igor, save me! [Igor sits up] Look! He’s alive! He’s alive! Male mad scientist:
Maria! Save me! Druggist: I don’t want to get mixed up in any gunplay! Especially not in my store! I’m a married man! Female mad scientist: Save your strength, Jesse James! You will need it. Yes, I knew who you were from the very first. You see, we have something in common - we are both outside the law. That’s why I offered you a chance to join me. But you chose to refuse me! You, an outlaw, refusing me, Maria Frankenstein! Granddaughter of the Count! I will use you in my next experiment! You see, Jesse James? I have won after all! |
from Journey To The Seventh Planet (1962) Narrator: The year is 2001. Life has changed now. Planet Earth is no longer wracked by war and the threat of annihiliation. Man has learned to live with himself. The United Nations is the sole governing body of the world, and the great hunger now is for knowledge. First astronaut: Why don’t you find one
girl and settle down? Young astronaut: Well, in Germany, where I
lived, there was a girl. Ursula…. But I never got to know her very well. First astronaut: It’s not only our fears
and weaknesses. It’s also our greatest desires. First astronaut: Let him bleed! Theme song |
