VICTOR: SO STILL THIS SHADOW OF A WOMAN LIES THE FUTURE SLEEPING IN HER FORM DARE I FREE HER FROM HER DEATH QUICKEN NOW HER PULSE AND BREATH AND MAKE HER ONCE AGAIN BE BORN? WHY DOES THE KNIFE QUAKE IN MY FINGERS? WHY IS MY HEART AN EMPTY SHELL? WHAT IF SHE AWAKES LIKE HIM? MURDEROUS AND VILE WITHIN? AN ANGEL BANISHED THEN TO HELL? NO! I'VE GONE TOO FAR TO TURN BACK NOW THE DARKNESS WILL NOT BE DENIED AND NOW THE MODERN PROMETHEUS IS GOING TO CREATE HIS BRIDE CREATURE (VOICE-OVER): Do not delay, Victor, for I will be ever-watching and when your labors are through I shall appear to claim what is mine. Heed my wishes. You may be my creator, but I am your master -- obey! VICTOR: I'VE GONE TO FAR TO TURN BACK NOW THERE'S NOTHING LEFT I NEED DECIDE I AM THE MODERN PROMETHEUS AND READY TO CREATE THIS BRIDE HENRY: WHAT HERESY HAVE YOU DEVISED?

But this time will be different. She will be different. HENRY: The question is not what you can do. The question is what you should do. VICTOR: I'VE GONE TO FAR TO TURN BACK NOW AND SOON YOU'LL SEE I'M JUSTIFIED I AM THE MODERN PROMETHEUS READY TO CREATE THIS BRIDE HENRY: MAN MUSTN'T TRY TO ACT LIKE GOD PROMETHEUS WAS MERELY MYTH AND IF YOU TOY WITH NATURE'S COURSE YOUR FATE WILL BE THE SAME AS HIS VICTOR: I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I AM HEARING A GREAT DISCOVERY IS NEAR LESSER MEN CAN WAIT BEHIND PARALYZED OF HEART AND MIND BUT I AM NOT AFRAID TO DARE I'LL CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY PLEASE SEE BEYOND YOUR PETTY FEARS I WAS ONCE A DREAMER NOW I'M MAN'S REDEEMER WE'RE ON THE VERGE OF NEW FRONTIERS HENRY (Over the other two, below:) CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT YOU'VE BECOME?
