Frankenstein Unbound Page #3

OF INTRODUCING MYSELF,

AND I FEEL QUITE PERSECUTED

WHEN BRITISH TRESPASSERS

LOAF ABOUT MY PROPERTY.

NO, I'M NOT A TRESPASSER.

I'M AN ADMIRER.

DR. JOE BUCHANAN.

YOU'RE NOT BRITISH, ARE YOU?

WELL, I'M SORT OF, UH,

NOUVEAU AMERICAN.

- WHAT ABOUT THOSE?

- WHAT?

THOSE CONTRIVANCES.

OH.

THESE ARE A GIFT...

TO ONE OF THE GREATES VISIONARIES OF THE 19th CENTURY.

MY GOD.

THESE LENSES ARE EXCEPTIONAL.

ARE YOU AN INVENTOR?

A SCIENTIST.

REALLY?

I THOUGH ALL AMERICAN SCIENTISTS

WERE NAMED BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.

AH. LET'S SEE WHA MISTRESS MARY'S DOING.

DAMN.

NOTHING SCANDALOUS.

WRITING AS USUAL.

WHAT A WASTE OF FEMALE TALENT.

PERHAPS MISS GODWIN

HAS LITERARY TALENT AS WELL.

WHAT DO YOU WANT HERE, SIR?

I MUST SEE MARY.

MISS GODWIN.

A SUITOR?

OH, NO.

WHAT WILL SHELLEY SAY?

WE BREAKFAST LATE, BUCHANAN.

JOIN US.

PROVE YOURSELF:

AN AMUSING GUEST.

WE SUFFER FROM:

TOO MUCH PEACE HERE.

[ Buchanan ]

THERE IS MURDER AT HAND

IN GENEVA.

WELL, NOW, WHAT'S THIS?

A BAILIFF, I HOPE,

OR A POET.

MEET PERCY SHELLEY,

MY FELLOW REPROBATE

IN EXILE.

AH, HE'S RISEN.

JOE BUCHANAN.

AN AMERICAN SCIENTIST.

MMM.

AND ARE THOSE SLIPPERS

AMERICAN TOO?

I'VE QUIZZED HIM

ALREADY, PERCY.

THEY WERE MADE:

BY A MR. FLORSHEIM

IN A REDUNDANCY...

CALLED NEW YORK, NEW YORK.

WHAT BRINGS YOU:

ALL THE WAY TO:

OUR LITTLE PARADISE, DOCTOR?

JUST ANOTHER MOTH

DRAWN TO MARY'S GLIB.

LISTEN, I'M HERE

BECAUSE OF THE IMMINEN EXECUTION OF JUSTINE MORITZ.

I BELIEVE:

HE WANTS TO TAKE MARY

TO THE HANGING.

HOW ROMANTIC.

YOU KNOW HOW IT IS,

PERCY.

SEX AND DEATH.

[ Chuckles ]

AH!

THERE SHE IS.

MY LOVE.

MARY,

ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE...

DR. JOSEPH BUCHANAN.

AS IT HAPPENS,

WE'VE ALREADY MET.

HOW DO YOU DO AGAIN,

DR. BUCHANAN?

[ Thunder Rumbling ]

THAT IS THE MOST MYSTERIOUS

CLOUD I'VE EVER SEEN.

I SEE A REMOTE:

SUNLIGHT GLEAN...

AS THOUGH T'WERE NO A CLOUD AT ALL,

BUT A GATEWAY:

TO A DISTANT WORLD.

WHAT DID YOU WAN TO SEE ME ABOUT,

DR. BUCHANAN?

MISS GODWIN, I KNOW

THAT YOU'VE BEEN FOLLOWING

THE TRIAL OF JUSTINE MORITZ.

YOU MUST HELP ME TRY

AND STOP HER FROM HANGING.

- WHY COME TO ME?

- BECAUSE YOU KNOW THA THE GIRL IS INNOCENT.

YOU KNOW THE TRUTH.

WELL, THAT'S WHA YOUR BOOK IS ABOUT.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW

OF MY BOOK?

I'VE ONLY A FEW CHAPTERS

OF THE STORY.

ARE YOU FROM A JOURNAL, SIR?

WORSE. MAYBE A PUBLISHER.

YES, I BELIEVE

THE GIRL IS INNOCENT.

BUT I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING

THAT WOULD HELP HER.

FORGIVE ME. I THOUGH THAT YOU KNEW THE TRUTH.

I THOUGHT THA YOU COULD HELP ME.

[ Jeering, Shouting ]

BACK OFF!

PLEASE, SIR. I'VE MADE

MY PEACE WITH GOD.

THE GIRL GOES FREE!

[ Protesting, Shouting ]

SOMEBODY HELP--

[ Laughter ]

NO!

[ Men Shouting ]

[ Yelling ]

[ Groaning ]

WE'RE GOING TO MAKE YOU BETTER.

SHH.

THE GIRL--

THEY KILLED THE GIRL.

AND THEY VERY NEARLY

KILLED YOU TOO.

I WATCHED THE WHOLE

TERRIBLE INCIDENT WITH THESE.

OH.

YOU WERE VERY BRAVE...

AND FOOLISH.

HOW DID YOU GET HERE?

I SAILED ACROSS THE LAKE

TO RESCUE YOU.

HOW DID YOU KNOW

I WAS WRITING A BOOK?

IT'S A LONG STORY, MARY.

WELL, IT'S USUALLY BETTER

TO START AT THE BEGINNING.

SUPPOSE I SHOW YOU INSTEAD?

IS THIS YOUR CARRIAGE?

YES. YES, IT IS.

IT'S AMAZING.

LIKE TO GO FOR A RIDE?

I'D BE DELIGHTED.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MARY.

I AM NOT A CARRIAGE, BUT A CAR.

LET'S FLY.

ARE WE FLYING?

NO. IT'S JUS A GREAT SUSPENSION SYSTEM.

[ Horse Whinnies ]

I'VE NEVER EVEN IMAGINED

ANYONE LIKE YOU BEFORE.

WELL, THAT'S NOT SURPRISING,

BECAUSE I DON'T EXIST YET.

I'M FROM THE FUTURE.

[ Chuckles ]

WELL, THAT'S ABSURD.

I KNOW OF YOUR BOOK

BECAUSE I'VE READ IT.

BUT THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

I'VE ONLY JUST STARTED WRITING.

AND YOU'LL FINISH I AND YOU'LL PUBLISH IT...

AND YOU'LL ADD A NEW WORD

TO EVERY LANGUAGE ON EARTH--

FRANKENSTEIN.

- THIS SAYS MARY SHELLEY.

- CONGRATULATIONS.

MY BOOK!

MY BOOK WILL BE KNOWN

IN THE FUTURE.

HOW DOES IT END?

HOW DO I END? AND SHELLEY--

DO WE DIE YOUNG?

DO YOU REALLY WAN TO KNOW THAT?

STOP THE CAR.

I'LL HAVE MY OWN LIFE.

WELL, JOE FROM THE FUTURE,

WHEREVER DID YOU COME FROM?

[ Buchanan ]

THERE.

PERCY'S CLOUD.

HE WAS RIGHT.

IT IS THE GATEWAY

TO ANOTHER WORLD.

I MADE IT,

CAME THROUGH IT,

FRACTURED THE CORE

OF TIME AND SPACE.

I WANTED TO DO:

THE WORLD A FAVOR.

BUT LIKE VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN,

I CREATED A MONSTER.

THEN IT'S TRUE.

DR. FRANKENSTEIN

HAS CREATED A MAN.

I'M AFRAID IT IS.

IT IS AN ABOMINATION

IN THE EYES OF GOD.

YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD?

I DON'T KNOW.

I SEE.

SCIENCE IS YOUR RELIGION.

WELL, I NEVER THOUGH OF IT LIKE THAT.

I'VE TRIED TO IMAGINE

WHAT A MAN OF SCIENCE

MUST LIVE WITH.

I THINK HE LIVES

WITH MADNESS.

WITH MADNESS?

THE MADNESS:

OF POSSIBILITY.

I'M SORRY IF I'VE SAID

SOMETHING TO UPSET YOU, JOE.

UPSET ME?

MARY, YOU AMAZE ME.

YOU LIVE IN THE 19th CENTURY,

AND YET YOU UNDERSTAND

THE FUTURE:

INFINITELY BETTER THAN I DO.

I WISH I DID.

[ Laughing ]

PERCY AND BYRON:

PREACH FREE LOVE.

I PRACTICE IT.

YOU AND I ARE UNDER

AN ENCHANTMENT, JOE.

WILL YOU FLY TO:

SOME OTHER PLACE IN TIME?

I WISH IT WERE THAT EASY.

THIS PLACE, THIS TIME--

I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND

WHY I ENDED UP HERE.

I'M AFRAID I HAVE A THEORY.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR IT?

MM-HMM.

I THINK YOU'RE HERE

TO STOP DR. FRANKENSTEIN.

- WERNER?

- MISTRESS?

- PLEASE PREPARE MY CARRIAGE.

- SHALL I DRIVE YOU,

MISS LEVENZA?

NO, I MUST GO ALONE...

TO SEE DR. FRANKENSTEIN.

AS YOU WISH.

ARE YOU GOING:

TO KILL IT?

NO, QUITE THE OPPOSITE.

I MUST MAKE HIM A MATE.

YOU WERE A MADMAN.

YOU HEARD HIM.

HE THREATENED:

TO KILL ELIZABETH.

BUCHANAN, PLEASE.

I HAVE LAID:

ALL THE GROUNDWORK,

BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE

TO STORE ENOUGH ELECTRICITY.

I KNOW YOU HAVE ABILITIES

BEYOND MY OWN IN SUCH MATTERS.

I THINK I SHOULD

SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

[ Grunting ]

- [ Whimpering ]

- [ Horse Whinnies ]

[ Frankenstein ]

WHAT IS THIS?

VICTOR,

THIS IS YOUR FUTURE.

[ Elizabeth Screaming ]

[ Growling ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Whinnies ]

WHO ARE YOU?

WHAT ARE YOU?

VICTOR MADE ME.

VICTOR?

BUT I AM TO BE:

VICTOR'S WIFE.

- HE WOULD NOT WANT YOU

TO HURT ME.

- I KNOW.

[ Whimpering ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Whinnies ]

A HUMAN BEING IS NO MATCH

FOR MY CREATURE.

WE ARE NOT VERY WELL MADE,

YOU KNOW.

OUR EYES ARE POOR,

OUR LIMBS USE MUSCLES

TO THE DISADVANTAGE OF BOTH.

I HAVE MADE:

WONDERFUL IMPROVEMENTS.

WONDERFUL IMPROVEMENTS.

[ Men Shouting ]

VICTOR!

THERE'S SOMETHING OVER HERE!

MR. VICTOR!

THERE HE IS.

HANG ON A SECOND.

I DIDN'T DO THIS.

- GET THE ROPE.

- [ Man ] GET HIM!

GET HIM UP!

[ Grunts ]

STRING HIM UP!

HANG HIM!

USE THE TREE!

[ Grunting ]

HERE'S A ROPE!

[ Breathing Heavily ]

[ Man Yells ]

[ Gasping ]

LET'S GET HIM!

[ Bones Cracking ]

[ Man Yelling ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Groans ]

[ Growling ]

STOP!

[ Yells ]

[ Growling Continues ]

[ Bones Cracking ]

[ Groaning ]

[ Gasping ]

BE CAREFUL.

HE CAN HELP US.

[ Groaning ]

AN ABOMINATION:

IN THE EYES OF GOD.

ARE YOU ALIVE?

YES. I THINK SO.

GOOD.
