Dr. Frankenstein: What was that? Igor: "What the hell are you doing in the bathroom all day and night? Why don't you get out of there and give someone else a chance?" Frau Blucher: Would the doctor care for a brandy before retiring? Froederick: No. Thank you. Frau Blucher: Some varm milk... perhaps? Froederick: No, thank you very much. Frau Blucher: Ovaltine? Froederick: Nothing! Thank you! Inga: Werewolf! Dr. Frankenstein: Werewolf? Igor: There. There wolf. Dr. Frankenstein: What? Igor: There wolf. There castle. Dr. Frankenstein: Why are you talking like that? Igor: I thought you wanted to. Froederick: Then you and Victor were... Frau Blucher: YES! YES! Say it! He vas my... BOYFRIEND! Trivia for Young Frankenstein: The film was shot in the same castle and with the same props and lab equipment as the original Frankenstein (1931). When Dr. Frankenstein descends the stairs into the basement of the castle there is a gargoyle on the wall made to look like director Mel Brooks. "Frau Blucher" sounds like the German for "glue," which explains why the horses whinny every time they hear her name. -------------------------------------------------------------------- "What big knockers" - "Sankyou, doctor" "The nails, the nails! The hair! oooh my dress, it' taffeta darling, it wrinkles so easily" "Yes, yes, yes he vas my boyfriend" "Didn't you just make a yummy noise?" "Hey, where are you going?
