Frankenweenie (2012 film)

Frankweenie is a 2012 American 3D stop-motion-animated fantasy horror comedy film directed by Tim Burton and produced by Walt Disney Pictures. Mr. Rzykruski To you, science is magic and witchcraft, because you have such small minds! I cannot make your heads bigger, but your children's heads? I can take them and crack them open! This is what I try to do, to get at their brains! Back home, everyone is scientist. Even my plumber wins Nobel Prize. Your country does not make enough scientist. Always needs more. You should be a scientist, Victor. Science is not good or bad, Victor. But it can be used both ways. That is why you must always be careful. Victor [after Sparky hit by a car or a burning windmill collapsed at the final climax, his parents gripping him by the arms so he won't impulsively run forward into danger] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! [to Sparky's lifeless body after resuscitation attempt] It's okay, boy. You don't have to come back. You'll always be in my heart. Edward What you did was a very serious thing! Crossing the boundary between life and death, reanimating a corpse! It's very upsetting! Dialogue Victor: I was doing my experiment, my project, and the first time it worked great. But the next time it didn't. I mean, it sort of worked, but then it didn't. And I don't know why. Mr. Rzykruski: Then maybe you never really understood it the first time. People think science is here [pointing to head] but it is also here. [pointing to chest] The first time, did you love your experiment? Victor: Yes. Mr. Rzykruski: Ah. And the second time? Victor: No. I just wanted it over. Mr. Rzykruski: Then you changed the variables. Bob: [frantically] Victor! I need your help. Victor: Did you see those things? They were like... Bob: Sea Monkeys! You know how on the package, they're like, in a happy kingdom, and everyone's smiling? Victor: Yeah? Bob: They're not like that at all. Toshiaki: [running up] Victor! I need your help. Bob: I asked him first! Toshiaki: My problem bigger! [pointing behind him and sounds of thundering footsteps and roaring. Camera pans to show a giant dinosaur-tortoise mutant stomping down the street] Bob: Yeah, he's right. Mayor: As mayor of New Holland, you have entrusted me with your safety. So I can't sit idly, while a teacher *endangers* our children. Bob's Mom: [referring to Mr. Rzykruski] The man is a menace! New Holland Townsfolk: She's right. He's crazy! New Holland Townsfolk II: Have you looked through this science book they're using? Apparently, Pluto isn't good enough to be a planet any more. When I was a kid, Pluto was a great planet. This guy comes along, and rewrites the rules! Mrs. Frankenstein: In fairness, he didn't write the textbook. Victor: Where's Mr. Rzykruski? Gym Teacher: All I know is I'll be teaching the class for the rest of the semester. Elsa Van Helsing: Do you know anything about science? Gym Teacher: I know more than you do. Bob: Mr. Rzykruski knew a lot. Gym Teacher: Well, sometimes knowing too much is the problem. Victor: What about the science fair? Gym Teacher: Oh, it's still on, but it will be judged by someone who's not insane: Me!
