(o.s.)

...to all of you, in equal shares,

I hereby give, devise and bequeath,

absolutely and without any

SCRATCH, SCRATCH, SCRATCH...the needle has reached the

end of the first side.

18HERR FALKSTEIN18

lifts the arm off and turns the record over.

HERR FALKSTEIN:

(apologetically)

It's a seventy eight.

He places the needle on the record.

VOICE OF BEAUFORT FRANKENSTEIN

(o.s.)

...Unless...my only male heir, my

great-grandson, Frederick -- whom I

have never seen but who is, at the

time of this recording, ten years of

age and residing in America with my

granddaughter, Katherine -- has, by

his own free will, embraced Medicine

as his career and acquitted himself

with some measure of esteem. Then,

to him I leave...everything!

The nine "Potential Heirs" are expressionless.

VOICE OF BEAUFORT FRANKENSTEIN

(o.s.)

My castle, together with its

laboratory, its public and private

library, and all notes and journals

contained therein, all acreage

surrounding my estate, plus all

income and principle thereof...in

the fond hope that yet another

Frankenstein shall lift our family

name to an eminence of dignity, and

sanity, that it once enjoyed.

VOICE OF BEAUFORT FRANKENSTEIN (Cont.)

(o.s.)

As for my dear friends and relations,

should this latter improbability come

to be...I know that I have your

complete understanding. For the road

to salvation and repentance must be

paved up the avenue of my soul, and

not up yours, up yours, up yours,

up yours, up yours...

Herr Falkstein removes the needle from the finished record.

CORNELIUS WALDMAN

Herr Falkstein! Did you inform

Frederick Frankenstein of this

assembly and all the particulars

of the time and place?

HERR FALKSTEIN:

I did, sir.

He takes a cablegram out from his pocket.

HERR FALKSTEIN:

But I received a cable only this

morning, saying that he could not

come.
