Mr. Rzykruski Quotes in Frankenweenie (2012)

Victor Frankenstien: Nobody likes scientists.

Mr. Rzykruski: They like what science gives them, but not the questions, no. Not the questions that science asks.

Victor Frankenstien: [pause] Actually, I have a question.

Mr. Rzykruski: [chuckles] That is why you are scientist.

Mr. Rzykruski: Science is not good or bad, Victor. But it can be used both ways. That is why you must always be careful.

Mr. Rzykruski: Ladies and gentlemen. I think the confusion here is that you are all very ignorant. Is that right word, ignorant? I mean stupid, primitive,unenlightened. You do not understand science, so you are afraid of it. Like a dog is afraid of thunder or balloons. 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!

Mr. Rzykruski: 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.

Victor Frankenstien: 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]

Mr. Rzykruski: but it is also here.

[pointing to chest]

Mr. Rzykruski: The first time, did you love your experiment?

Victor Frankenstien: Yes.

Mr. Rzykruski: Ah. And the second time?

Victor Frankenstien: No. I just wanted it over.

Mr. Rzykruski: Then you changed the variables.
