Young Frankenstein is my favorite Mel Brooks film. Other favorites include (in alpha order) The Ladykillers, A Night at the Opera, Monty Python and the Holy Grail,and Some Like It Hot as well as Brooks’s The Producers and Blazing Saddles.

Igor: “What the hell are you doing in the bathroom day and night? Why don’t you get out of there and give someone else a chance?”

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [Reading from his grandfathers’ notebook] “As the minuteness of the parts formed a great hinderance to my speed, I resolved therefore to make a being of a gigantic stature.”
[pause]
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Of course. That would simplify everything.
Inga: In other vords: his veins, his feet, his hands, his organs vould all have to be increased in size.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Exactly.
Inga: He vould have an enormous schwanzstucker.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: That goes without saying.
Inga: Voof.

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Love is the only thing that can save this poor creature, and I am going to convince him that he is loved even at the cost of my own life. No matter what you hear in there, no matter how cruelly I beg you, no matter how terribly I may scream, do not open this door or you will undo everything I have worked for. Do you understand? Do not open this door.
Inga: Yes, Doctor.
Igor: Nice working with ya.
[Dr. Frederick Frankenstein goes into the room with The Monster. The Monster wakes up]
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Let me out. Let me out of here. Get me the hell out of here. What’s the matter with you people? I was joking! Don’t you know a joke when you hear one? HA-HA-HA-HA. Jesus Christ, get me out of here! Open this goddamn door or I’ll kick your rotten heads in! Mommy!

[last lines]

Inga: You know, there’s something I’ve been meaning to ask you. In the transference, the monster got part of your wonderful brain. But what did you ever get from him?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [growls suggestively]
Inga: [gasping] Oh my goodness, I don’t believe…
[emits several somewhat painful-sounding moans and grunts]
Inga: [singing] Oh, sweet mystery of life, at last I’ve found you!
