Victor: Come, Igor, let’s empty our sacks and see if we have all the body parts we need. Here is the left arm.
Igor: I have the torso.
He places it on the table next to the arm.
Victor: Next is the left foot.
He places it below the torso.
Igor: Singing.
The hipbone’s connected to the thigh bone, and the thigh bone’s connected to the knee bone. Now hear the word…
Victor: Angrily
I hardly think singing is appropriate at this time!
Igor: Sorry, Dr. F.
Victor: Head.
Igor: Left foot.
Victor: Wait, we already have a left foot. He can’t have 2 left feet! What if he wants to be a hip hop dancer? Igor, go back to the morgue and get a right foot.
Igor: The morgue? ALONE?
He sways and faints again.
Victor: It is so hard to get good help now-a-days.
He kneels down and slaps Igor across the face gently a few times.
Victor: Igor! Igor, wake up, and get going.
Igor wakes up, grabs the sack and axe and leaves stage right. Victor starts sewing up the body parts. He also uses hammer, nails, screws and screwdriver for others.
Victor: Singing, The head bone’s connected to the backbone.
Igor reenters stage right and removes a right foot from the sack.
Igor: Here you go, Dr. Frankenstein. A dog chased me all the way here, trying to get that foot!
Victor: Good work, Igor. Please sew it on while I attach the brain!
He holds the brain in the air for a second, then flips open a latch on the skull and puts the brain inside.
Victor: There. It is complete! He’ll never win a beauty contest, but he’ll be my little baby! Now all we need is a good thunder and lightning storm!
Flashes of lightening and loud thunder.
Victor: Well, that was service. Come, Igor, attach the wires to the lightning rods. Our human is about to come ALIVE!!
More thunder and lightning. Lightening strikes the lightning rod. The Monster’s body starts jerking likes he is being electrocuted. Igor looks frightened and tries to hide behind something. Victor looks proud and excited. The jerking stops and both men tiptoe forward to see what is happening.
After 5 to 10 seconds, the monster turns his head to the audience, and opens his eyes wide.
Slowly he begins to smile, and then starts singing.
Monster: The knee bone’s connected to the ankle bone, and the ankle bone’s connected to the foot bone.
He sits up and sees Victor and Igor.
Monster: Hello, who are you?
Victor: I am Dr. Frankenstein, and this is my servant, Igor.
Igor: Assistant, I prefer assistant.
Monster: Frankenstein, that’s interesting. My name is Frankenstein, too!
Do you think we are related?
Victor: I was the one who created you, but now I feel I made a serious mistake. You are a horrible creature! A Monster! A Fiend! A Wretch! What evil deed have I done?
Monster: What a terrible thing for a father to say to his son. Well, I will show you! I am running away from home, and you will never see me again!
