The Horror of Frankenstein Page #2

---

Or better still, couldn't you?

We will forget you made

that remark, young man.

Now, I am quite broad-minded.

I understand how it is for young people,

I don't approve, of course, but I understand.

I've been looking through your records.

You have a brilliant mind, my boy,

you'll go a long way.

You have a title and a considerable fortune,

i believe.

- Considerable.

- Then all is not as black as it first seemed.

The term ends in three weeks.

The wedding can take place

as soon as the holidays start.

How does that sound?

Pompous old windbag.

He can't wait to have a baron as a son-in-law.

He doesn't give a damn

about his daughter's chastity.

That makes two of you.

Well, what are you going to do?

Start my holidays early, I suppose.

In other words,

run away from your responsibilities.

Certainly. Take my advice, wil,

when responsibilities weigh too heavy,

that's the best thing you can do with 'em.

- Is your invitation still open?

- Of course it is.

We'll have a marvellous time.

The whole of the summer with nothing to do

but mess around in my laboratory.

I've ordered tons of new equipment

to be sent to the castle.

I've always wanted

to spend summer in a laboratory.

No, seriously. You know those experiments

I've been working on?

- Yes.

- Well, I've got some really incredible ideas.

Look, I want to show you something.

Hell, Victor.

Where did you get that?

I stole it from the anatomy class.

Watch.

Ready?

I think I'll send it to the Dean

as a going-away present.

- Stop, or you're dead!

- Whoa, whoa!

What's happened? Why have we stopped?

Outside, both of you.

- This is preposterous.

- If you're not outside in five seconds,

I'll shoot you.

We'd better do as he says, my dear.

- Highwaymen.

- Probably.

We've always had that trouble around here.

- Well, aren't you going to help?

- Good heavens, no.

It's none of our business.

Besides, a man could get hurt down there.

Well, you might be content to let them

get away with it, but I'm not.

Come on.

I hope you've got more to offer

than this, old fool.

- Let's get him.

- Please drop your guns, gentlemen.

And now I suggest

you make yourselves scarce.

And to make sure you do...

Well, you didn't have to shoot him.

Actions speak louder than words, Wilhelm.

Delighted to have been of service, frulein...

Victor, don't you recognise me?

I'm sorry, I...

Wait a moment. Elizabeth?

My dear Elizabeth, how you've grown.

People do in six years.

Father, this is Victor Frankenstein,

you may have heard me speak of him.

Oh, we owe you an enormous debt

of gratitude, young man.

- You and your friend.

- Oh, may I introduce Wilhelm kassner?

Professor heiss and his daughter, Elizabeth.
