“There’s a couple of nasty-looking switches over there, but I’m not going to be the first to try them.”

“Throw the third switch!”  
“NO! Not the third switch!”

Time to check if this scene was in another draft of the script: it explains why the hump is missing when Igor attends an unconscious Dr Frankenstein, right after the monster hits him during the theater rampage:

The Dr approaches Igor at the piano, in the theater before the show, and notices Igor’s hump is missing!

_Dr Frankenstein_ - What happ… (Points nervously to Igor’s back)

_Igor_ - Never with tails!! (Points happily at his tuxedo)

Oh, and if you look real close in the scenes in the lab, I think you can see a 1920’s style death ray.

I may be wrong.

No dialog, but…

The monster (Peter Boyle was wonderful, BTW) is in bed, reading the Wall Street Journal. Elizabeth (Madeline Kahn, also great) comes in, dressed a la Elsa Lanchester in Bride of Frankenstein, all hot to trot.

The monster rolls his eyes, clearly thinking “Oh, Lord, a-GAIN?”

Cracks me up every time…

My favorite scene (if you can have just one) is where the cop/inspector comes to visit Friedrich for the first time, and they idly play darts while verbally sparring.

While Friedrich’s back is turned, the cop (who has “parked” the darts in his artificial arm), runs up to the dartboard, jams all the darts in the bullseye, runs back to the shooting position and proceeds to make the sounds of rapidly-thrown darts with his voice and by thwacking his arm.  
Friedrich swirls only fast enough to see all the darts in the bullseye.

During Friedrich’s turn, each time he is about to throw, the cop distracts him, causing Friedrich to misfire. The darts are going everywhere, including out of the window. The cop then leaves and we see where all the darts have landed. The car is riddled with them, the tires are flat and there’s one in the driver’s hat.

Priceless.

“Taffeta…sweetheart.”  
“No, no, the dress! It’s taffeta…wrinkles so easily…”

More great quotes per square inch than any movie I know.
