Victor Frankenstein Page #5

It's you.

It's me.

Well, yeah, a bit different.

You saved my life.

My life.

Boring!

Friend of yours?

That's Baron Bomine.

He recruited me

to be in his cabaret...

...and his consort in public.

Right.

He, uh... prefers

the company of men.

Oh.

I have a name now.

I am Igor.

What?

It's perfect.

This woman

seems to think

that the human brain is pink.

In fact, it is grey.

That's Victor Frankenstein.

- Grey like this oyster.

- I'm done.

He's the man who rescued me.

And he helped save you.

Is he always like that?

No. He's very clever,

and he is kind.

He just finds

ordinary people very...

...ordinary.

Victor, how did you...

Who are you?

You're the fallen angel.

Plummeted from any other great

heights lately?

Maybe you should try this one.

It's only, oh...

...all of 30 feet.

You've had worse.

I'm afraid the only thing

plummeting here

is my opinion of you,

Mr. Frankenschteen.

Frankenstein.

All right, Victor.

Igor, um...

Igor speaks

very highly of you.

Would you like to join us?

Now, of course,

I can't tell you everything,

but suffice it to say...

...Igor and I stand upon

the cusp of...

...creating life out of death.

Mr. Frankenstein...

Victor. Please.

I find your promise

more than a little unsettling.

Ooh.

Superstitious, are we?

No.

Are you not afraid to

challenge the natural order?

Igor, speak up.

What do you think?

Once, I would have agreed

with you, Lorelei,

but think about it.

Twenty years ago,

electric lights

would have been

thought of as magic.

Your injuries in the circus

would have been fatal.

Every day science

and technology

changes the way

we live our lives.

Look at me.

Well said, that man.

Life and death are different.

"Life and death!"

I dream of a world

where hope replaces fear.

A world where a murdered man

can stand in court

to face his murderer.

Where a crippled soldier,

shrapnel in his spine...

...can be killed, healed,

then brought back to life

to walk again.

Don't you see?

The possibilities are...

...endless! Life is beautiful!

But unfortunately

it is finite.

Now, tell me what that says.

"Death."

Thank you very much.

I cannot argue with that.

There it is,

in black and white.

But with a little

applied science...

...what do I give you now?

"Life."

That's

what I'm trying to do.

Perhaps I spoke too soon.

You shouldn't

see that girl again.

What? Why?

Well, she's very nice.

Uneducated, superstitious.

Distraction from our work.

She's kind to me.

Tonight was not about

meaningless frivolity.

It was a celebration

of our work together.

I think it is high time...

you met our monster.

Don't tarry! Come, come, come!

Come on!

What is that?
