The incredible man who Doctor Frankenstein created in his spare time... from a lot of spare parts. The Frankenstein creature. I believe I hear the Master coming now! [he looks out the window] Yes! I can see him clearly through the fog! [Dracula crashes and slams into the window] Dialogue Count Dracula: Hiya, Baby, it's me, Count Dracula. Witch: I didn't think it was a hummingbird. Frankenstein's Monster: My feet hurt! Count Dracula: Don't give me that! I happen to know those aren't your feet! Frankenstein's Monster: What did you have to bring that up for? Frankenstein's Monster: Are they gone yet? Count Dracula: Yes, it's safe for you to come out now and protect my life! Count Dracula: What do I do now? Igor: Master, believe me, they're just illusions. They cannot harm you. Count Dracula: Can't do any me harm, huh? Who did that? Termites? Igor: [announcing the witch's arrival] The flying Queen of Hallowe'en! Witch: Outta my way, shorty! Witch: Well, for heavens sake! You look just like me.
