Quotes 

• Ygor : Better death... than a life like this.

• Ygor : You have agreed? You're going to help him Doctor? You are giving him life?

  Dr. Ludwig Frankenstein : Yes but not for the purposes that you think Ygor. I'm giving him strength so that an operation may be successful.

  Ygor : An operation?

  Dr. Ludwig Frankenstein : Yes. I'm giving him another brain. You must explain to him when he becomes conscious. *You* must make him understand.

  Ygor : Whose brain?

  Doctor Bohmer : Kettering?

  Dr. Ludwig Frankenstein : Yes, Kettering. A man of character and learning. The monster will cease to be an evil influence and become everything that is good.

  Ygor : No. No, no. You cannot take my friend away from me. He's all that I have. Nothing else. You're going to make him your friend and I'll be alone

  Dr. Ludwig Frankenstein : It will be as I say or he must be destroyed

  Ygor : [laughs]  He cannot be destroyed

  Doctor Bohmer : There is one way. By dissection.

  Ygor : No not that. Doctor, Ygor's body is no good. His neck is broken, crippled, and distorted. Lame and sick from the bullets your brother fired into me. You can put my brain in his body.

  Dr. Ludwig Frankenstein : Your brain?

  Ygor : You can make us one. We'll be together always. My brain and his body. Together

  Dr. Ludwig Frankenstein : You're a cunning fellow Ygor. Do you think I would put your sly and sinister brain into the body of a giant? That would be a monster indeed. You will do as I tell you or I will not be responsible for the consequences

• [the monster is struck by lightning] 

  Ygor : The lightning. It is good for you! Your father was Frankenstein, but your mother was the lightning!

• Dr. Ludwig Frankenstein : Ever since the day my father put life into that creature, it has been a curse. The terrible consequences of his creation killed my father, drove my brother into exile. The monster shall not ruin my life. I'm happy here. I have a lovely daughter, friends. They know nothing of all this.

  Ygor : You wouldn't like to spoil that, doctor. Would you? You wouldn't want me to tell them that you're the son of the Frankenstein that created him, that your brother made the thing live after it had been dead for years. Do you want me to tell them, Frankenstein?

  Dr. Ludwig Frankenstein : No! No.

  Ygor : All right. Then you'll make the police to hand him over to you.

  Dr. Ludwig Frankenstein : Yes. I could do that.

  Ygor : And you will do it, Frankenstein.

• Dr. Ludwig Frankenstein : Does he understand?

  Ygor : Oh yes.

  Dr. Ludwig Frankenstein : Is he willing

  Ygor : Can't you see? He is the first time happy in his life

• Ygor : How does it feel to face a man you thought your brother killed, doctor?

  Dr. Ludwig Frankenstein : What do you want?

  Ygor : The monster is with me. He's the one in the police station, but he won't be there for long. You will bring him here.

  Dr. Ludwig Frankenstein : The law must take its course.

  Ygor : Law! What can the law do to him?
