Frankenstein's Monster: How do I know you're not Frankenstein's Monster, you freakin' genius?! I mean -- [ glances at villager stepping too close with a lit torch ] Hey, dude - get that fire away from me. Alright? [ to ?? ] I mean, you could be a monster, you know? You got the weird hat, the patchy beard - you know? I mean, you look like a monster to me!

Head Villager: [ shakes his head ] I'm not the monster! [ points to Frankenstein's Monster ] Look at 'im! He's got a square head and green skin!
