Frankenstein and Mrs. Frankenstein are in the living room. Fighting.
Mrs. Frankenstein: I love him.
Frankenstein: You cheated?
Mrs. Frankenstein: No. Never. He gets me in ways you never will.
Frankenstein: "So when you're weak" you go to him. You don't think I can help?
Mrs. Frankenstein: Can you? You've never cared enough before.
Frankenstein: "When you are on your knees" begging me to listen. You don't think I cared?
Mrs. Frankenstein: No. You told me you didn’t. You can't pretend that our history is anything otherwise.
Frankenstein: Fine. We can split. "I’ll do my best with the time that's left" to stay out of your way. You best do the same.
Mrs. Frankenstein: Neither of us wanted this. The doctor thought you needed a companion but you didn't. You don't. You're so narcissistic.
Frankenstein: We were supposed to be the same. Need one another. Me "sworn with your spirit."
Mrs. Frankenstein: That's not how it worked out.
Frankenstein: If "you're fully fleshed" you won't be able to be with Dracula.
Mrs. Frankenstein: I don't need to be with anyone. I dream about being able to travel the world to experience places and things that others want to see with me. Who want to be around me.
Frankenstein: "So fuck your dreams." You get so needy. (mimicking, mockingly) I need you to do this. I want you to do this. NO I DON’T! You're supposed to be HERE FOR ME.
Mrs. Frankenstein: "And don't you pick at our seams." It's over. You don't need to be worse.
Frankenstein: Oh, "I'll turn into a monster for you if you pay me enough."
Mrs. Frankenstein: You already are a monster. You are acting like a monster.
Frankenstein: "None of this counts." I'm trying to make a point.
Mrs. Frankenstein: "If you do" me a favor. Please don't "cloud up" this ending to make it seem like I'm the bad guy. I'm not the bad guy.
Frankenstein: Yeah right. "So we come to the place of no return."
Mrs. Frankenstein: Sounds about right.
Frankenstein: (furiously) "Yours is the face which makes my body burn."
Mrs. Frankenstein: Just sign the papers and we’ll be done.
